I had the "intimidation" kind of polygraph session when I was questioned by a couple of police detectives about a theft in a building where I was a security guard. Intimidation and threats. Like if you don't answer right we're headed to your place to search everything. They did not review the questions in advance; they did try to surprise me; there was no attempt at calibration. The lie detector seemed to be a prop. After the test one of them came to me and said "you passed" while looking at me closely like my reaction was just the last test. I laughed. I guess it was the right answer.
Thanks for your continued transparency dude.
Of course that counts. Why wouldn't that count. Not the entire internet is TCP/IP.
Sure, but historically, no one would bother taking such a case to court because the supposed damages from a video in that kind of case are obviously non-existent.

The ability to spam these kinds of take-downs at essentially zero cost and with no ramifications for the chilling effects and false claims create an environment where it is the norm.
The solution to incremental changes is to develop your app in a way where every unit of computation is compose-able under a strict rule. Meaning I can write a universal function compose(A,B) = C and that function can compose any primitive. Then you build complicated logic just like how you build a wall from a set of bricks... form complicated logic as a composition of more primitive logic all the way down.

If your program is constructed this way at every layer of logic, not only will your program be amenable to append only styles of programming. But it will be amenable to decomposition. Often you find that your primitives are too big and you need to split your primitives... well if your primitives are itself made out of the compositions of lower level primitives then breaking apart that function is trivial.

There is only one primitive in all of programming that follows this composition rule. Procedures cannot compose, Objects cannot compose. What's left?
The engineering is fine.

You simply need to remove 15 million people to somewhere else.

So what is your solution to that?

(The lesson from Katrina is simply that there IS no solution--you have to let things build until a catastrophic event finally forces people out of the area.)
These lists can be manipulated. There was a case a few years back involving bogus bookstore sales of Lani Sarem’s "Handbook for Mortals" to trick the New York Times:

Stamper and other YA writers, including Jeremy West, began to investigate. Stamper shared messages he had received from bookshop staff who said they had been contacted to see if their store was an NYT-reporting shop – the paper’s lists are collated from information supplied by a confidential group of stores – before a bulk order was placed. Another bookshop shared similar information with West, while Publishers Weekly reported that a shop outside Las Vegas had a customer who ordered 87 copies after learning it was an NYT-reporting shop.

I'm also skeptical of data from Amazon, whose KDP Select/Kindle Unlimited ebook platform is notorious for scams designed to ensure rank or extra payouts for authors. See http://www.annchristy.com/ku-scammers-on-amazon-what-you-nee... for an explanation of how one scam worked, and the HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11520212.
If you do a full re-fi; the new lender is going to run your credit, do an appraisal of your home, record the new loan on the title, do a title search, purchase title insurance, pay the broker's commission, etc; that all costs money, and that's where the thousands come from.

Just adjusting the rate in their systems certainly doesn't cost the lender nearly $500 or $1000, but it was still a win-win. They got some money to offset the lower rate, and got to keep servicing the loan, and I got to pay less interest, it's been a while, but I seem to recall my break even was about 3 years each time. I would certainly consider the availability and price of rate modification when considering lenders in the future.
Boy have I got a treat for you -- or maybe not if you're very knowledgeable in the space -- but this is an amazing course for walking you through the main functions of a framework and the code for some major frameworks:

Lindsey Graham, a 64-year-old conservative U.S. senator, just said China's ability to influence the U.S. film industry "sucks," so I don't think the language has the swear-word power it used to.
I mean there are lots of jobs like that. The bottom line is that there has to be a level of trust between the rent seeking platform and the people creating content for them for the platform to keep existing as it is. Youtube is currently diversifying to that it doesn't need to rely solely on content creators, and can instead rely on a more traditional "studio" model for portions of its income. Great for Youtube, less great for creators as they are becoming less valuable over time.

This is the least hacker news comment of all time and I love it. Maybe this weird era of SV-type a-social-life-and-sleep-is-for-pussies work mentality is actually starting the begin of its end.

Or not. Maybe we're fucked.
It seems to me that this theory is identical to physicalism. By defining consciousness indistinguishably from a "world", or any interactive system within a world which can be modelled as an algorithm and state (experiences), it seems just as valid to say that the world creates consciousness.

Given that evolution shapes human perception, as acknowledged by the author, it seems more sensible to say evolution has created human consciousness. This seems especially so, when the definition of the conscious agent is so general, as to allow any state machine.
The fact that he chooses the hypothetical bad neighbor Cletus makes me think he's satirizing the people who consider "devoid of any visible or audible evidence of people lower class than me" a prerequisite of a "good " neighborhood. See also: Poe's Law.

That said, his point is totally valid. When you say "affordable" most upper middle class people hear "poor people".
> What if they are just trying to segment users into casual and power users and are using the data to guide future product development and design?

Is that something you'd hire an external marketing company for predictive profiling, though?

Sure, the quote doesn't give much information about the company and their use of data, but when evaluated in context of typical data sharing with third parties, it's highly damning until proven otherwise.
Needs a cardboard version.
Maybe I have a low-ish bar, but the Kodi Add-Ons in the official code base is a nice system of continuous integration with established acceptance and review procedures. I wrote a small add-on for a woodworking show and as soon as all the checks were passed and there was a final sign off, it was immediately available for installation on all platforms.
FYI, "Thousands" of lines isn't particularly, a large code-base, I'm a developer who tends to specialize in legacy code bases and I've seen aspx (asp webforms) pages with 5k+ LOC in a single file.

Also, you haven't really defined what "makes sense" means for you. Does that mean being able to refactor it, maintain or just evaluate it?

That said, the following are essential:

1. An IDE with a fast token-based search

This is the number one requirement, you need to be able to search for a badly remembered function or variable name to find the method. Jetbrains' "Go to anything" search that resharper/rider has is unrivalled here, you can quickly see partial matches and the type of match (function, variable, etc)

2. An IDE with a text editor that won't choke with 5-10k LOC files.

If your environment is freezing up any time you open a certain file then you'll have no chance if (and you likely will, for a large enough project) you encouter a monster file.

3. Pen and Paper

Don't be scared to write things down, draw diagrams and write down your mental models as you go. A pen and paper is essential, it persists through all sessions, can't crash and if you think something is wrong you can easily throw it out and start again without considering that time wasted.
"YouTube content creators" still have the ability to monetize the video content they create in other places, in other ways.

They could do Patreon, make their own products..etc.

These people should think of Youtube as one distributor only, and just like a TV show can move from NBC to Netflix, they should open to change distribution channels whenever it benefits them.

I know the community/audience is on Youtube argument makes this a difficult problem, but I feel like this has been somewhat solved. You can still advertise on Youtube. You can still promote teasers of your brand on Youtube.

Look at Russel Brand right now, he levered iTunes to create a new Podcast, which then became a Premium product that is only accessible from the Luminary app. But that doesn't mean he can't still benefit from iTunes and use it as a sales channel to move his audience over.

My friend, if you've been in touch with how this govt presents numbers, you'd be on my side. I acknowledge that in this case there is no hard evidence on either side, except for the statement by PMO. Good luck getting anything out of an RTI (if it still exists).

The article you shared, I completely agree with it. There are a number of other factors that go into tiger population growth. Greenery is just one part of it.

I never said the number of tigers *decreased". They might have actually increased, but I was only pointing out the potential misrepresentation by this govt which has been seen with numbers time and again.
> > "You can choose to pay $20k upfront for Lambda tuition ... You'll never pay more than $30k ..."

> Wait, you are charging 50% interest? Possibly over two years?

that's not how interest works. on a variety of levels. for starters, "50% over two years" would be 22% annualized, which is the only way anyone talks about interest. admittedly, that would be a high interest rate.

except it isn't interest. what you pay is a function of how much you earn. try borrowing money from the bank for 6%, and see if they'll let you just stop paying if you don't make any money.

I've been to Mexico DF once. I visited downtown and there was a literal mountain of garbage in the central plaza (easily two stories high). Maybe Mexico City engineers are shit (pun intended), at least article implies it as it's the only example they give.
The most capital intensive part. Clearly the per unit cost is dirt cheap.
I was blown away when someone told me they wanted a natural diamond. It seemed crazy to me, I don't get why someone would want to pay more for an identical (except for the fact that it was likely mined unethically) stone. I don't think any of my friends have a natural diamond but that's probably partially the people that I hang out with.

Yeah, I also wouldn't want my kids to grow up in a world where someone could exchange knowledge for money without a license, but this is ridiculous.

I know people don't like Bethesda (neither do I) but generally there is normally solid reasons why companies don't do such things.

A lot of the time there is other stuff in that source code or attached to the source code that they can't release. They could have a bunch of internal signing keys etc (which may need to embedded in the source).

Also Nintendo, Sony etc may specifically not allow GPL code on their platform.

There could be a bunch of very good reasons we may never be privy to.

> Under this example, I’d argue that this is not incidental usage. The audio could be considered integral to the “scene” that is being recorded. It gives the audience an idea of what place x looks, feels and sounds like. And this is certainly not news/educational content.

But if you watched his videos this isn't the case.

It's him walking through some public outdoor market in Sri Lanka and one of the vendors happens to have a radio on which is captured by his camera's microphone as he walks through while narrating what's going on. He didn't go out of his way to capture the audio separately and then overlay it afterwards. It's background noise that was recorded in the same audio stream he uses for his voice's microphone, which makes it pretty much impossible to cut out later short of muting all of the audio or making artificial cuts to remove the content.

In any case, it's a shitty situation for both the content creator and the viewer.
Business decisions and marketing are not the only reasons people write open source software and you would do well to remember it.
Even as a non-youtuber, I think it's been made quite clear that the "motive" is selling ads, and advertisers don't want to be associated with particular topics or tones. It's no longer "Broadcast yourself", but "Deliver us specific content we can monetize, and don't dare touch major IP holders' content", which is a completely different creator audience.
@RandomBacon, what mistake? It's clear you were saying, a spy app can record all the audio, gps location etc in a file, and then when the phone regains cell signal, the spy app can send out the recorded audio, gps location etc.
I'm afraid that's not the case. Generics are very easy to implement
under the following reasonable conditions:

1. you don't care about performance (you simply 'box' everything),

2. you don't care about executable size (you simply specialise every
generic definition to their concrete use cases -- this is what C++
compilers do),

3. you don't do reflection on types in generic definitions.

As "cinnamonheart" mentions in a sibling post, ML's generics are
straightforward, and remain, despite hailing from the 1970, even today a shining example of
programming language design. Unfortunately, Scala had to
violate all three points above to maintain compatibility with Java, and the JVM.
This book enabled me to think better from first principles.

e.g. How might I go about optimizing a redshift query? Well, now that I have an idea about how data is laid out on disk, because redshift is a columnar store, if I try to optimize X query, here's how I imagine the index to be so that sequential reads would be faster.

I could find a reference on how to optimize redshift queries, but this book answers the WHY and not just the immediate how.

I've read so many books that were practical, yet became so much less useful over time. (e.g. reading a book about the specifics of the Angular API, whereas now I write mostly React.)

I keep returning back to this book for understanding a top-level view of the fundamentals of distributed systems, specifically data stores.

I hope you give the book a second look at some point.

In Rust, we end up storing the necessary metadata inside of the pre-compiled library, so that when you use it from another library, the compiler knows how to do the right thing.
"NA" didn't design these cities, it was the old people who did it to themselves and, now, the younger people too. The best part is they're still showing up at planning commission hearings all over the country angrily demanding that their car-choked hellscapes be preserved in amber for all time.

Increasing ridership (at any time except peak) would lower the cost per passenger mile, at trivial additional cost. would.

I've done a few and never failed one. Was told to clench my butt cheeks really hard to get a pass. Another tip was to put a drawing pin into your shoe and push down onto it with your foot as hard s you were able to tolerate. And if you search online there are a few other techniques you can use to ace the tests. Most interesting for me was being told I'd failed a test I was later told I'd passed. It's sheer madness.
A few years ago I used Copilot to share the computer screen: https://www.copilot.com/

They need a secret to connect two computers, that can be passed by phone by non technical people. They use(d?) a nine digit number, separated in three parts, i.e.: 872 581 234

You need to transmit a much longer key, but perhaps you can transform it into base8 and use digits (skip the 0 to avoid confusions, and the 9). You definitively need some local check to ensure that each block is correct. Perhaps add a 8-module check to each block: 8723 5816 2343
That seems exceptionally unfair. They’re very up front about what they charge, how they charge it, and whether or not you even pay anything at all. I got a lot out of my overall college experience and so I probably wouldn’t opt for it, but if one of my kids was only interested in software development, I would suggest they attend Lambda School with no reservations whatsoever.
The AdSense settlement (http://www.adsensepublishersettlement.com/) was quite literally that exact pattern: Google would do a review once you cleared the $100 threshold for a payout and conveniently block you, but there was no evidence that the ad customers were being refunded
My family has a history of dementia and it's terrifying. Currently my grandmother is 95 and more or less can't remember anything from the past 30 years. She doesn't know who I am when I visit because I don't look like I did 30 years ago.

She requires 24/7 caretaking and most conversations with her end with "I don't know why the lord hasn't taken me yet". She's very physically weak and struggles to just walk around the house, etc.

This has been more or less her state for the past 15 years. Despite the best efforts of the family she is 95 and ready to go and not sure what else we can do.
Oh ok sorry didn't mean to come off like jerk, I thought this might be one of those "micro$oft" things
HK was a backdoor into the rest of the world.

Post-WTO, the Chinese are mostly through the front door without having had to change.

So definitely less dependence on HK now.

The British were still insane to give it back though. Say what you want about colonialism and how it was originally annexed, it was a strategic gem.

They fought a war they could barely win over the Falklands, and then they hand Hong Kong over as a gift.

There's no doubt China could have and probably would have taken it by force, but they also needed world acceptance a lot more at the time.
The only real obstacle for me is that a large fraction of what I do with my phone is listen to Spotify. It's not clear to me whether or how well it will be supported. (More research: looks like I would have to install Ubuntu Touch and a third party app?)

That said, I'm tempted to go for it anyway.

Honestly, this is one of the many things that makes me feel incredibly lucky that I have the interest in computing that I do. Not only has it led me down a supremely well-timed and lucky career path, but I also have a no-impact hobby that I can look forward to continuing into my old age.

Your point seems to be hiring humans is wrong, because YouTube incorporated more AI to pretend like they're doing something, remain in the good books of copyright folks and make themselves more money. Is that correct? So, what if a person does not sympathize with Google or care about them making more money? Ultimately your perspective is shaped by whose side you're on.
Well, that and industrialization, technology and specialization of labor has enabled us to be able to travel to outer space, for example. So we may be able to be the first species to colonize another planet. Earth will probably be smashed by another huge meteorite at some point in the future, so it's an important feat.
I agree that the close American relationship with Saudi Arabia is problematic and incompatible with our core values. However Al Qaeda leadership intentionally selected terrorists from Saudi Arabia in order to disrupt the relationship. So ironically backing away from the Saudis now gives Al Qaeda a win.

By “wide ranging utility” you mean “detecting and diagnosing mental disabilities” right?

If not: Using IQ for anything else is, at best, quite useless, and at worst, severely problematic as you found out when you heard about scientific racism (such as the eugenics movement).

From a compression perspective, of course it is not ...how else would you model your environment?

Consciousness is just a glorified 'top' command. Our visual cortex has evolved over millions of years to distill our environment down into a much lower dimensional space.

Additionally, I would rather have them phrase it like neural activity creates consciousness (which in my opinion is almost a meaningless tautology).
