> live in a low trust high surveillance society that simulates a much more pleasant high trust society

And in a high surveillance society, whatever the initial conditions, the cost/benefit ratio of cooperation vs. defection is biased towards trust. In other words, the ersatz high trust society would become the real thing, of course only provided the surveillance is trustworthy. For example, China's social credit system might work if it is administered sans corruption. It has to be self-reflexive.

As incredible as it seems, Mrs. Grundy will save us.
Hey man, thanks for Buster. I donated. You deserve it.
The hardware should be the exact same between all terminals right? It seems accounting for that would only add noise.
Its really going to depend on budget.

At this level of quality of speaker the accoustic properties of the room (and the location of the speakers) will have a bigger impact on the quality of the sound than spending more money on kit.

I have the M040 which are a newer and more environmentally friendly model aimed at bedroom producers (i believe). There is also a cheaper M030 model.

The M series offer only basic room response controls (e.g. if the speaker is located near a wall or in a corner). The parent alludes to much fancier calibration achieved with the use of a mic and DSP's in the speakers.

The other thing worth noting is that genelecs are very neutral sounding speakers and also (as they are designed as nearfield studio monitors) have a relatively small sweet spot. So maybe not the best choice to fill a big room at a party, but I love them very much :)
Wouldn't this simply be a matter of designing hardware that does these operations on chip as a software accessible operation?
Who cares, Google is behind it and it's actually quite well done from a network traffic obfuscation / confidentiality perspective. They have a formalized working group and doing it the old fashioned RFC-spec-development way would likely slow down QUIC's adoption by several orders of magnitude.

Flutter QUIC + ICE NAT traversal + P2P distributed key value store == a completely decentralized framework for getting rid of mobile telephone providers and abolishing all forms of censorship.

No reason for cellular towers anymore when you've got 20+ handsets around you within ad hoc WiFi or Bluetooth range for decentralized mesh networking.

It's not a joke, it's just a name, so humor has nothing to do with it. The problem is that it's a weird choice of name. If someone named it "Hitler" or "Damnation" or "PoopEmoji" it would also be a bad name, but those would also not be jokes, just bad names.

Interesting that they opted for a relational rather than a categorical one; the latter is proving to be more flexible [0].

Chrome and Google not caring or supporting these kind of things I get but Firefox's recent efforts seem to be either gross negligence or targeted moved to destroy their addon ecosystem.

I thought Firefox was going to get better with their redesign but it seems like it just resulted in lost functionality. Their misguided quest to get more market share has been a completely failure and pushed anyone who valued their customizable experience away.
On the one hand, this seems like a real missed opportunity by Mozilla. As Chrome reigns in extensions that conflict with Google's business model, this is a reason to use Firefox.

BUT - extensions are also often the cause of a slow and frustrating Firefox experience, which then leads folks to talk about how Chrome is better-performing/faster (I've been guilty of this myself in the past). Mozilla needs to make sure Firefox is keeping pace with Chrome, which they've presumably decided means de-emphasizing extensions.

That said, not sure why Mozilla needs to de-emphasize donation buttons.
In US law, eliminating competition is generally fine. It's only a problem when there is a monopoly or close to a monopoly. DoorDash doesn't seem close to having a monopoly on food delivery.

There is a big difference between your skin gps tracker and facial recognition. The skin gps tracker is a new data source. Facial recognition is making better use of already existing data from mug shots and security cameras.

If you are concerned about privacy, then let's regulate what data you can collect and from whom you can collect it. However, once you have the data, police should be able to use computers to better understand, filter, and generally make the data more useful to solving crimes.
Thanks for the input!

Yeah, overhead cables aren't the best, as a lot of the time, the length of the tubes and cables aren't long enought to do that. Also, yes, you'll end up with a 'beaded curtain' of tubes and stuff going into the patient.

The idea of having everything routed under and then up to the bedside is not bad, though cable length is still an issue.

It is a hard problem for sure.
It would be possible to integrate parquet data with PartiQL.

Here is an example of integrating PartiQL with CSV files. https://github.com/partiql/partiql-lang-kotlin/blob/master/e.... Integrating with Parquet would of course be more complex then that.
On airforce one, there is an active anti-missile laser-based system designed to send a high-intensity pulse into the optical/IR tracker on a missile warhead effectively disabling it. There's also one that uses an EMP pulse for missiles that use radar tracking instead of optical.
We're going to see more consolidation, but are any of these companies addressing the treatment of their delivery drivers, or issues that are starting to crop up, like delivery drivers eating food that they're delivering?
Using the iOS 13 beta is pretty nice in this regard. Calendar events usually show a (non-sound interruption) notification prompting you to turn on Do Not Disturb for the duration of the calendar event.

The Last Battle, the book that is used as a reference for 95% of the entire wikipedia article, is definitely worth a read. One of those stories that I'm surprised hasn't been turned into a movie yet (maybe because some of the Nazis are "good guys"?) edit: never mind, looks like they're finally making a movie about it
Direct payment from browser vendor to useful devs: not sure where that money would come from.

Web browsers are insanely profitable thanks to search referrals.
It is not illegal to buy competitors (commenting only on US law). It can potentially violate antitrust laws if you eliminate all competition in a market by buying out competitors. But given the existence of Seamless/Grubhub, Uber Eats, and others, plus most of the restaurants still take phone & fax orders, it would be difficult to argue Doordash buying Caviar corners the delivery market.
They're also failing users. The Chrome Web Store is a cesspool of malware and other abusive extensions - Mozilla is doing better though.
Sure. But if the claim is that removing this will degrade security and privacy posture, then it is surely relevant to discuss the security and privacy benefits you'd get from removing this feature so you can argue that the benefits do not outweigh the costs.
We used to use Sococo and got frustrated and abandoned it a couple years back, actually.

If you hit the Slack button it opens a link to that Slack chat. If you are in a room with a group it'll open a group DM to the other people present. (I personally rarely use the Slack button because any given DM or channel in Slack is only ever alt+tab and ctrl+k away, but that's just me.)
Awesome! Yes we’ve taken a more functional, less literal approach than Sococo. Bernat likes to draw an analogy that the first washing machine was a wheel of hand-shaped paddles. We think we’ve found something much better and less skeptical.
How is it contrived when it's happened again and again historically?
Yeah, those were the main criticisms, as I recall.

In practice, only people who actually wanted a jury trial would participate. And I gather they'd get funded for bail and/or family expenses, plus representation.

Also, is it really likely that defendants who might get 25 to life are being offered six months?
Presto is a distributed query engine that can run queries across different datasources. It accepts a basic ANSI SQL syntax.

ZetaSQL is a custom SQL dialect, along with parser and analyzer, that Google uses for products like BigQuery and Spanner.

PartiQL is a new query language extended from SQL to work with various non-relational data sources and schemaless data formats in a more natural and idiomatic way.
The ML Test Score: A Rubric for ML Production Readiness and Tech Debt Reduction
Sooo... where are all the people against the Chinese on this thread?
Dissent is useless if you can't give voice to it, and that's exactly what these systems seek to do -- make it dangerous to do anything the state doesn't want you to do. From speaking in public to peaceful protest these databases will eventually be used to identify anyone who has ever peacefully participated in a democratic society.

This was what the FBI wanted in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and now, 70 years later, they finally have it.
This is literally how tons of people end up going homeless. It's a lot harder than just "pack up the few things I have and dip out"

People totally can't afford to move in many cases.

But I've never been that poor to be fair. And I'm guessing you haven't either.

A big advantage of tmux for me is consistent keyboard shortcuts across OSs. I really like iTerm but never use the native windows feature because you loose that as far as I know. Once you’re using iterm integration you’re back to macOS shortcuts.
Here comes Jenny McCarthy starting the anti-estrogen movement...
That's what I thought as well, but that theory doesn't appear to hold up. For example: http://hydra.nat.uni-magdeburg.de/packing/cci/cci14.html
OK, fair point.

In order for genes to have any impact on an organism they need to be expressed. And it's expression that creates the enzymes that create hormones. So it's hard to separate those two.

Environmental exposure can change how genes are expressed and thus hormones.
Thank you! I'm not a web dev precisely, but I think I can muddle through that :-)
Interesting project. Thanks for sharing.
DeepMind's healthcare AI ‘breakthrough' trained on heavily skewed data
It sounds like that part is already done; now they're optimizing the hardware design.
Good luck with your plans!

Think about using a bell siphon [1]. Its typically used in aquaponics with a constant stream of water being pumped, but the pump can certainly be switched with a relay/pi/sensor setup to allow for intermittent dry spells (depending on what your growing). Water can be pumped from a nearby reservoir or tank.

RescueTime is what you need.
Yes. I agree with your characterization here.

I'm just blown away that Apple hasn't reverted this. Imo it's a huge vuln.
I was expecting to just hear white noise. Isn't that what all frequencies is added together, like the color white is all colors added together?
I can't really recall when there was snow in Oslo for half a year. Some years were nearly snowless. Officially, the winter period in Oslo is 119 days.

And well north of the city/further from the sea you can feel proper winter better, sure. Even so close as Lillestrøm it's crisper. But again, nothing unusual by North/central European standards.
+1 on Amazon. The LP behaviour interview is pretty random, weird.
Looks like this package is maintained by a single person: https://github.com/CategoricalData/CQL

Not sure it's comparable to something like Amazon, that has probably dedicated funding.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. For total beginners, Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous may be an even better place to start.

The OP also responded: "but I see your point." Not snarky.

So no, you need to design it on the F1 FPGA instance.

This is neat. Anyone want to add support for TreeBase/Tree Notation? http://treenotation.org/treeBase/. It's currently on the backburner to query TreeBases in SQL without having first to convert the TreeBase to sql. Seems like it would be relatively straightforward to use this to do that.
Cops Are Giving Amazon's Ring Real-Time 911 Data
Agreed, but incorrect language shouldn't be used either. Every word has a meaning. Polluting the meaning of words, either maliciously or not, creates harm because it obfuscates the truth. The truth is he was shocked once for a nonviolent offense. Not continually.
>Priors in Bayesian statistics are not randomly guessed.

And frequentism (if there is such a thing) does not prohibit using base rates in their analysis. The article is setting up false dichotomies.

Also, this in the article is a "random guess":

>Maybe we’re not so dogmatic as to rule out “The Thinker” hypothesis altogether, but a prior probability of 1 in 1,000, somewhere between the chance of being dealt a full house and four-of-a-kind in a poker hand, could be around the right order of magnitude.
By chance do you know how can I access the lectures of other harvard courses?
That's a fairness argument. How about this, in the 1980's I got a BSME for under $20k since the State of California paid for most of it.

Friend of mine got a free ride to MIT courtesy of wealthy grandparents on his mothers side.

Another friends single mother was on welfare, as a reasult he got a bunch of grants which paid for everything. He was lucky because he managed to get his BSEE before Reagan made sure kids like him got screwed good and hard.

One can argue that that people currently suffering under high levels of student debt were given a raw deal already.

Life is so very unfair already. That it's 'bad' to make things more fair for one set of people but not another is a weak argument in my opinion.
So many bands from the "progressive alternative" genre are now either defuct or stopped releasing material.
This article is designed to outrage, and specifically to reinforce the ethos of debt / poverty being entirely a problem of individual responsibility.

Late stage capitalism claps back.
I don't know your age, but from my experience, at least in the 1980s and 1990s, there really were real warring camps of Bayesians and Frequentists. People working on the same scientific topic who were Frequentists wouldn't even cite the papers of their Bayesian colleagues. Frequentist textbooks like A.W.F Edward's "Likelihood" would spend pages disparaging Bayesian methods. But I agree that things are much calmer these days with most people being pragmatists that don't care about being "pure" but use a mixture of methods from both camps.
I think the answer is that public WiFi hotspots don't have any way of verifying that they are who they say they are, whereas TLS works because you have a trusted third party (the CA) that verifies the keypair.

So, if a WiFi hotspot used something like TLS, the data would be encrypted, but you have to way to verify that you're not going through a malicious third party's hotspot on the way to the public WiFi.
So am I to understand that birth control could be responsible for autism?
Thank you :-) I've edited my message to include the correct URL.
The distinction between the two scenarios is important though, because if the US gov't was to institute changes to college where newly attending students got a break that earlier students didn't, sure you'd get pushback, but not nearly as much as just forgiving existing student loans.

The US is more individualistic than the UK, but we're not entirely heartless bastards.
This may have changed since I don't really use Caviar, but I'n not surprised since I think Caviar's delivery/service fees are the highest (which is why I don't really use it).
Everything is new data source at some point, everyone gets outraged for a bit and then it's business as usual. There is no stopping ""progress"" and technology.
SF Homeless Project: 24 hours inside the city’s crisis
There was a story here locally where a young boy wandered out of his house while he was thought to be napping. The parents noticed and a search was started, but after a few hours they found him inside a neighbors car, dead from the Texas heat. A GPS tracker would have saved his life. I understand the privacy and personal liberty concerns, but I have a hard time coming to a decision on this one myself.
Is it not valid to do a multiverse analysis using all conceivable priors in this case? There’s no real need to make an arbitrary decision, unless you truly know nothing about what you’re looking at in which case, shrug.
So true.

I racked up a grand total of 4k USD (fees) debt.

3k legit expense, 1k me fkin up. Parents covered the 3 clean, 1k parental loan. I enter adult life nearly (1k) debt free with a world competitive degree.

And that's for an education I'll happily stack 1:1 with against other top unis globally.

I look at the US guys with 100k debts and my god...I'm thankful for my roll of life dice...competitive degree with near zero debt must be 0.1%
Because that's how civilization operates. Why should I subsidize someone else's electric car? Why should I pay for firefighters even though my house has a very low risk of burning down? Why should I pay for a rehab clinic even though I'm not an addict?

Because it makes society better off, that's why.
The ultimate goal is indeed to build an ultra-fast ASIC. There's a $1M ASIC circuit competition planned for for 2020. This $100K FPGA competition is a "warm up" to the ASIC competition.

It's funny, I know almost no two people with similar experiences (user or courier).

For example as a user I have literally never had a good experience with Caviar. It almost always wrong in different ways.

As a courier one time the guy called and said that the restaurant was taking so long that Caviar would no longer pay him to wait so we ended up paying him out of pocket to cover it (he said we could cancel and get our money back but that he'd also get nothing after waiting for a very long time).

Uber Eats, as a user, has usually worked pretty well. As a courier one of them told us they constantly have out of date restaurant menus, people order from them, the restaurant substitutes or ignores it completely and now they have to deal with an angry person.

It really feels like restaurants are not equipped to handle these types of services and all of the services don't train their people if at all, as well as treating them kinda like crap many times.
This team has consistently put out the highest quality content I've ever seen across the web. And they've already put out so much free content that it's awesome to see them finally launch with this first paid guide. Excited to see what guides they'll continue releasing.
