Why would I do that? None of your arguments on this thread appear to have been persuasive, judging from the pallor the text they're displayed in has taken. If it was just one or two comments, sure, who cares, but you've written a multitude of them, and none of them appear to be surviving. It feels like the burden of proof falls rather more strongly on you than on me at this point.
I agree that metric is better but this is ridiculous. Miles should be abbreviated mi.
People were equally dismissive of MP3 players, tablets and smart watches.

Apple proved them all wrong and will likely do so again with the glasses. You just need the right killer applications and great design.
I was addressing just the issue of speed. The torperdoes aren't intended against carriers really. The carrier groups are supposed to be attacked by something like submarine launched self organizing packs of antiship supersonic missiles like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-800_Oniks. An attack submarine like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasen-class_submarine carries 32 missiles and can launch 8 per salvo (the VLS launchers are revolver type, so the delay between salvos is very short) from 100km distance in the low-altitude sea-skimming mode. Such an attack would present serious challenge to the carrier group defenses. It is basically machine against machine - automated CIWS vs. the missiles incoming at 2.5Mach (and the new generation of hypersonic missiles is coming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrahMos), and humans have no role in such engagement.
It's generally pretty clear that when a business is failing, the employees won't be very happy.
Agreed. But what are the contenders since 2008? The iPad and the Apple Watch. The iPad was really co-developed with the iPhone for all practical purposes, as the original iPad prototype inspired the phone. You can definitely make a case for the watch, but it's an extension of the phone in so many ways.
That's the point. Blender UI was for Blender expert users. Not some other program's expert users.
A false dilemma is not how you make a constructive pro-environment argument. It is unnecessary, and won't convince anyone. You could've asked what else they do for or against the environment, but that'd be off-topic in this thread I suppose.
This is a pretty poor model for how employment should work, morally. Let's put this model to a realistic extreme to see how it falls apart:

Suppose an employer asks a loved one to have sex with them or they lose their job. I mean, no one is putting a gun to your loved one's head to have sex with their employer, but something is clearly very wrong at this level right? Suppose they have an expensive debilitating medical condition that can really only be treated with good insurance (I have seen this firsthand where a medication can cost hundreds a month even with insurance (not great insurance but I was an intern, it was all I could afford)). Suppose they tried searching for a job with comparable insurance for years but always come up empty. Now when it's between whether or not you will go homeless with a debilitating medical condition or basically being raped, what would you choose? Frankly, I would rather be raped. I have been in the hospital with great insurance as well, when my condition was at its worst, and even morphine and norco did nothing to make the pain go away; I can only imagine how much worse it would have been on the streets with that kind of unending pain; I can only imagine never being able to find a job like that ever again because I will always be in unending pain and never be able to interview well. Fortunately, I got really really lucky in that I am an engineer who is an American citizen that can find jobs easily that dont require me to physically be there but, most people are not in my position. Back to the point, if someone is more willing to be raped than to not be raped out of fear of the consequences, that's pretty damned close to forced right?
>slanted it toward their agendas.

They do this a lot. It is (rightfully) pointed out any time a right leaning website story is posted, with the whole "Note this is from X publication, and they are right leaning, so take that into consideration" comment. For some reason NYT seems immune to this criticism though.
Businesses are systems of people. Those that affect people nonetheless affect the business. You are then in the realm of which organs the people can survive without.
At some point, people are going to see the problem as not of a lack of privacy technologies, but of a small group who surveils them and exploits their personal information to keep them disadvantaged, and they will decide that this is the problem they need to solve.

It is also likely that the technology they use to solve that problem will be much less sophisticated.

Ballots, surely.
Apple now is the world’s largest watch maker both by units sold and by revenue.

In fact Apple Watch’s revenue is projected to surpass that of the entire Swiss watch industry this year.

Even if it doesn’t “kill” the existing category, I’ll say they did a fantastic job carving out the smartwatch category.
How often do labor unions campaign to impose salary caps on their own members? The very idea seems out of character.
I read all the articles on their web site (the ones in Spanish and not Zapotec, anyway), the articles in the press about them, and the comments sections of those articles, and I talked with hacker friends of mine who live in Mexico City. I'm interested in minimalist computing systems like Oberon, Plan9, stage0, MesCC, Scheme, Forth, Squeak, OTCC, the LGP-30, and the Familia Toledo's Biyubi system; myself, I've written things like StoneKnifeForth and httpdito, a web server in under 2000 bytes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6908064

But only in my dreams do I approach achievements like Biyubi.

70 bits? That's a ton. I'm at:

17.62 Chrome 75.0.x normal (non-incognito)
16.62 Chrome 75.0.x incognito
15.62 FF 68.0.1 (Private doesn't seem to make a diff, I get the same score)

Seems like in Chrome, at least, the most offending (most unique) "characteristic" is HTTP_ACCEPT Headers, which looks something like

text/html, */*; q=0.01 gzip, deflate, br en-US,en;q=0.9,fr-FR;q=0.8,f...

If there is a good way to control this (FF does a much better job -- could be tied to plugins and such tho), one could further reduce the number of identifying bits.

Chrome seems to do better (less unique) in both Hash of canvas fingerprint and Hash of WebGL fingerprint. I've summarized the main differences I see below, seems like combining the best of Chrome w/ the best of FF would result in even better privacy:

https://i.imgur.com/QQQ6R85.png

Edit: I think Chrome's HTTP_ACCEPT Headers is like that because I've installed/enabled many languages in it for l10n testing. I'm removing them now, which should make Chrome get a better score than FF.
I don't think you can plausibly argue that the Echo is not a success for Amazon, I'm sorry. Apple would've loved to be in that market first, they just missed it.
That does help! Thanks for writing this up. It’s really quite interesting.
In some ways it the conflict with feminists is inevitable, for example when feminists demanded that every man accused of rape be punished, ignoring the rights of the accused and the existence of false allegations.

It was MRAs that stood up to that, while menslib seemed to support it.

Rarely, but if the union official gets to chose between more people paying dues and fewer people paying dues, which are they going to pick?

We know that Unions don't oppose salary caps, but they oppose differentials in compensation based on job performance. Seems like that amounts to the same thing? Unless you're suggesting we just pay government workers more and see if we get any marginal productivity out of them.
I'm an Apple shareholder...biggest concern with driving "services" is that the 30% commission on in-app purchases is borderline obscene and I don't think longterm sustainable e.g. if the tech regulation hammer is pointed at Apple, regulation around the App Store, including limits on Apple's commission, would make the most sense.
I've read the book and it's filled with cited sources, charts, photo evidence and logs. He was a published researcher and had over 150 publications on dentistry.

Guy was one of the foundational figures in modern dentistry: https://books.google.com/books?id=pZnzxgEACAAJ&dq=weston+pri...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S104863643...

He's also far from the only one to link nutrition with dental health (or health in general)...here's an article showing links between early carb consumers and dental caries: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3903197/

And another study confirming Price's assertions, with 34 Paleolithic skulls being inspected for dental and oral health: https://www.nature.com/articles/ng.2536 (NPR interpretation here: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/02/24/1726888...)

Another study confirming link between sugar intake and cavities: https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/78/4/881S/4690063 (conclusion is that fluoride is a crutch for bad nutrition and doesn't fully solve the problem)

Suffice to say, criticism of some aspects of Price's works or opinions over his many decades of work, I'm not here to defend all of that. But the links between nutrition and dental health and development are well founded. And that's exactly what the OP article suggested as well.
Agreed. In fact, code can be more expressive than mathematical notation, and providing code would do a better job of demonstrating a theory.

A lot of the proofs are just to legitimize papers. The cynic in me also thinks that by not providing code, the authors intentionally make it more difficult to reproduce results to hide tampered data. You see the same happen in science all the time with p-hacking, or with just plain fraudulent data that is purposely difficult to reproduce.

Luckily there are a good number of papers that provide a repo link, but not enough yet.
Vast majority of people are ego invested in themselves, and typically love to criticize other people well hating being criticized themselves. You run into a problem is they're easy to manipulate, as you play to their ego and criticize the people they hate.

Because big tech companies have become the arbiters of speech online, and they are disproportionately favoring one party in their actions. This was woefully apparent in Google's congressional hearings [1][2], where Google's only defense was that seemingly partisan actions weren't company policy, but actions of a few individuals. That line of defense fails to hold muster when said actions repeat like clockwork.

> The "metered paywall" trick is a loophole to get around that.

Do keep in mind that this isn't so much a loophole, but an agreement that Google made with publishers so that they could stay ranked on Google. In the wake of this they might reach a different agreement.

If Google had a setting for "I am a subscriber to x,y,z -- please include them in my results" I would be so happy. I want to tell Google that I'm a Red Hat subscriber and want their KB articles first.

I can follow your hypothetical right up to the point where the union official commits career suicide by trying to piss off every member single member of the union in a single stroke, and no further.
The comment I was going to reply to disappeared, but for something closer in form to the Matlab example that used to be here:

using Plots, DelimitedFiles
d = readdlm("data.tsv",'\t')
A = [ones(10,1) d[:,1:2]]; B = copy(d[:,3]); X = A\B
plot(B, seriestype=:scatter, color=:blue); plot!(A*X, seriestype=:scatter, color=:red)

I find Julia syntax feels closer to Matlab than to Python or R, just different enough to be frustrating for the first month or so (followed by a period of "oh, that's why Julia does it this way instead!")

It's not just workers. I've repeatedly asked for reduced hours, or more vacation, in lieu of a raise. Every time, my employer's response has been some form of "we can't do that for unspecified technical reasons" or "if you get that, everybody would want it." Honestly I don't get it. The big irony is that several people in the upper strata who are ostensibly making these decisions only work part-time and have at least 2 C-suite jobs

composeObjects cannot compose correctly. The nature of objects is to know the domain. Food is a composition of ingredients and cooking. However you can eat food and take it to go, because during composition, the context of what food is, is added. Your composition method cannot do this, it does not know about context. A tuple (cooking, ingredients) has no domain knowledge. Your composition is mashing random stuff together. It is not correct. It is the same as creating a tuple or list of two objects, with no concept of Food.

>That depends on your domain. In this particular case, it could be the first chicken on the stack. It won't be a particularly tasty chicken, since it'll be entirely uncooked and probably frozen, but that's certainly within the realm of possibility.

No it's not. Domain matters, otherwise programs are meaningless. Composition without domain proves nothing.

>Well yeah, welcome to Turing-completeness :)

Why are you welcoming me to something you don't understand. Everyone knows what turing completeness is, therefore everyone knows that you can imitate features of one primitive with features from another if the underlying system is turing complete. So what is the point of your whole expose? Let me answer for you: there is no point. When someone says that C++ supports types and python doesn't we have a guy here who says "well python does support types: look I wrote a whole C++ compiler with type checking in python...." You are that guy. Technically correct, but Literally going nowhere with all your points.

>Indeed, and the rules in that example would be:

>1. There are two things on the stack, and those things are addresses of procedures to JMP or CALL into.

>That's really all there is to it. If the arguments aren't valid pointers to procedures, then you crash :)

No dude. By rules I mean domain specific rules. Not arbitrary rules of the language. The composition of step1 and step6 is illegal because it doesn't make sense even though you can do it in forth.

>You could do the same thing in Lisp, or in C/C++ (when linked to, say, LLVM, or when using a compiler that allows dropping down to assembly), or assembly, or in quite literally any other Turing-complete language with the ability to emit arbitrary code and JMP to it (and even then).

Again you can do anything with any language therefore all languages are isomorphic and there's no differences among any languages. Dude. Come on. Objects and procedures do not compose, unless you bend them to imitate functions. You can do this in C++, lisp anything, including Forth. This is an obvious fact. Therefore nobody brings it up. Except you.

>Again: not all bricks are Legos. Nothing wrong with needing mortar and rebar to build something.

Buildings aren't programs built to be refactored and changed on a very dynamic basis. If you want your program to be scalable (which buildings aren't) modular (which buildings aren't) refactorable (which buildings aren't) then you need to build with legos. Mortar limits scalability which is a feature 90% of programs want but fail to have.

If you want your program to be glued together like a giant monolith, be my guest, use the mortar.
> this will be close to auto-published on save, and the first person to try the code will delete all entries from a live table/collection.

Ah, that's not how it works. I think you're thinking that you edit code in your editor and then there's this super dangerous deploy. That's not it at all.

When you make new code you open a feature flag. The feature flag doesn't run until you're ready to run it. We haven't dealt with the delicate case, but I'm imagining that we'll let you put a clone of the DB in so that you can test it.

And you can have code reviews and tests and so on while the feature flag is open. Think of it like a branch.

I keep hoping that something like GNU Taler will catch on. I have having subscriptions to various services, and I think something like Taler will help because it makes payments easier.

An even better service would be to have something like Netflix, but for news. I could pay $X/month and have access to a variety of news sources. Ideally, those news sources would be paid according to their popularity and accuracy, and I would have a simple bill every month to pay instead of several.

I had a subscription to The Economist for a little while, but I found that I still read other news sources and only read a handful of Economist articles. I want quality journalism, but having subscriptions to every source I trust is cost prohibitive and no single source has everything I want. I want a curated set of high quality articles for a constant price.

Remember the analysis of Losers/Clueless/Sociopaths in corporate life.

The Losers are low level people who know they have lost the battle to be a big shot.

Clueless are the strivers, the first level or two of management, who think they have a chance to be a big shot.

The Sociopaths actually do have a chance. Not all of them are evil but they all know 100 hour weeks won't do it for them.

I don’t care that my previous comment post has been downvoted, but I do want to clarify that I wasn’t being facetious; C++17 removes a number of old features and constructs that had been previously deprecated and there exist programs that compiled under C++14 that need non-trivial changes to compile under C++17.
