> Pricing in externalities is a part of that adaptation. It literally is "getting on with it".

> It's unclear to me why pricing in externalities would do this.

Well I'm not here try to tell you they will, and why. I'm telling you why you run into intelligent people who aren't gung-ho about reforming our economy in regards to climate change. That if you're trying to have a conversation with to get the desired result, politics, how you need to approach the "other" side.

Of those that I've talked to about this, the belief is that the necessary changes to pricing would result in an economic downturn, as bad as if not worse than the "Great Recession," which is still in recent memory for just about every adult. That's the milder hesitancy, some believe the necessary economic changes simply aren't possible, that to do so wouldn't even help make things better. That we're past the point of no return, so might as well just roll with it and adapt as needed.

Your problem is not telling them "bad things are going to happen if we don't deal with emissions" but rather "things are going to be so bad that your fear of economic decline is the lesser of two evils." Secondary is convincing them that necessary pricing can be put into place without destroying the economy.
That's politically expedient, but if laundering carbon is as easy as exchanging goods across a border then what's the point?
i concur, sending 22k an hour isn't very interesting nor difficult. I think the highest i've tuned a system to was about 1m per hour sustained for days and this was back in 02-03 era. we definitely burned out a few parts and upset the hands in the datacenter a few times. would be a fun project to do with modern hardware, but i have no reason to send that quantity of email anymore. removing atime was probably the biggest single speed gain, along with understanding the MTA very well.

If your boss, union leader, controlling spouse, etc. tells you to vote a certain way, they would gain the ability to demand that you give them your identifier if it's public or, if not, login and show them the final vote status. This is very hard to detect and anyone proposing a blockchain needs to learn why election systems are designed the way they are first since this is not a hypothetical problem.

RISC-V from the beginning was designed to work perfectly fine with vector processing. The lab that developed RISC-V made RISC-V to have an architecture that would allow them to use different vector units and experiment with different vector architectures. The Berkley Parallel Comouting Lab is where the worked on RISC-V.

The RISC-V V extention is the result of this work and exploration into parallel architecture.

RISC-V was to be modular and the V extention is just as much part of RISC-V as the F extention.

> The question I find interesting is: is this assumption correct? Is service scale the dominant factor in market share, or could you win a significant piece of the pie with a "Smaller YouTube by Humans"?

At least so far, the answer to your second question has been "no," at least if you define "significant" as "that which attracts significant VC investment." (I'm not suggesting that's the best metric, but it's what an awful lot of tech companies use in practice.) This is because the answer to your first question is demonstrably yes: when it comes to services that heavily rely on network effects, service scale is the dominant factor in market share.

It's possible that you could carve out a sustainable niche if you really leaned into the "by humans" part, but it'd still be a niche. I don't think that's necessarily a reason to avoid it.
The polygraph is entirely scientific in the way it actually works: eliciting forced confessions under psychological coercion. However, for that coercion to be effective, the targets and the public at large must be convinced of a pseudoscientific idea that lies are detectable physiologically.

Hence the conflict between the promoters and the detractors, proving that it works would make it no longer work.
I understand your point. Yes, push button music is a scourge ;)

Though, let's draw a line between someone who can make music for unobtrusive background applications (like OP) and someone who can make music for entertaining lots of people, perform it in person, and do both for decades while keeping a high level of quality (like Bruce Springsteen or Björk).
I am skeptical of the premise in this article that primary driver of AI innovation is start up funding. If anything, most of the big recent AI developments are only unlockable/accessible to players with huge amounts of scale, ie. big institutional technology players.
This is not an appreciable understanding of history. If talking about the UK specifically.
I was recently tasked with making some small incremental changes to a large code base that I was not familiar with. I was successful specifically because I could see the existing implementation and use it as a template for making the necessary changes.

For example, if I had to add a widget to a form, I could copy the implementation of an existing, similar widget and then make the necessary changes to it.

Similarly, I had to change the datatype of a field from string to integer all the way from the UI back to the database. This was fairly easy because I could make the change at one level, and then run the compiler to see what my change broke one level up. Fix, rinse, and repeat.

If I had to do any of this without access to the existing code, it would've been 100x harder.
Yes it is. Just recommend videos similar to ones you've watched, and attempt to cater neutrally to your sensibilities. Use views and engagement to determine when something is trending. That's apolitical. Arbitrarily excluding Joe Rogan or PewDiePie is political.
Well if you unlock the switch there is of course a port.
I would argue I am coding against a stable runtime. No unexpected bugs due to upgrading. No need to worry about upgrading. For many applications, I don't have to worry about security updates. I think for many cases like closed systems that plan to run for years to decades, python 2 is attractive to even new projects.

This is good.

Although when I think of a cookbook, I'm mostly interested in some re-usable snippets of codes that can be used again and again. A good example would be Chris Albon's site https://chrisalbon.com

For eg:
- a recipe for splitting comma separated values in a column into multiple rows or
- a data cleaning recipe that removes all unwanted spaces/trailing newlines/punctuations

I've searched but never come across a compilation of such re-usable code snippets anywhere. Would be glad if anyone has any resources like this.
This isn't the first time that the CA regulator (BPPE) has surprised code schools with cease-and-desist letters :)

That said, we (App Academy) found that the BPPE was a mostly accommodating regulator that worked with us to come into compliance. We did face a couple challenges that will likely still exist today:

1) BPPE won't give approval to operate until the whole application process is completed. This means that Lambda School is likely operating without approval and will continue to do so for 6-12 months at a minimum. Contracts are unenforceable during this period, the school could be forced to shut down CA operations overnight, etc.

2) BPPE doesn't have a formal policy for Income Share Agreements (ISAs). We were able to get our ISA approved in 2015, but it took some doing and was not nearly as straightforward as getting a normal tuition contract approved. Several other ISA programs that applied a year or two after us were not approved.

I think the fall in the price of waste is because there is a glut in the raw material (recycled paper, plastic pellets etc.) that come from the garbage. So it looses it's value because the materials it produces has lost value.

Governments don't pay for recycling when dumping is a cheaper alternative.
You could simply conclude that all papers could be true or not. Yet we wrote one, which is also true or not.
As a note, "sugar" isn't the only added sugar ingredient you'll find in bread, or really any packaged food. For instance, I read through the nutrition guide for Breadsmith's breads and rolls, 28 of their 44 offerings have some form of an added sugar (see: malt syrup, honey, granulated sugar, molasses). I wouldn't qualify that as "most" although it's certainly not slim pickings overall.

The label may not say "sugar" but it can be there in many different ways. See https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/56-different-names-for-..., one of the first results I came across that only lists a fraction of the possibilities.

You realize restaurants that directly employ the delivery persons have most of the same pitfalls as tipping using an app service right? If you don’t know how to understand how restaurant service persons are typically paid, it is better to not use the service at all than it is to not tip. You are still possibly supporting a very shitty business model unless you know that those delivery people are paid well without tips (most work on a tips basis for a big chunk of their wages).

I don't really see how that's an unfair conclusion to draw.

The more dependencies you have, the more likely you are to get one that's going to cause a problem down the line, be it due to conflicts with other libraries, subtle bugs that take years to manifest, or someone deleting something from upstream package manager (as was the case with left-pad).
Honest question - when the creators know the bad behavior of Disney/Sony etc, why poke them at all? What is the point of using their music, even if it is used in good faith for just 5 seconds?

You just need to show consistency

Imagining that I’m running gets my heart rate up, I can keep my breathing consistent, and the finest sensor detects perspiration changes on your finger which is the toughest but also a mental game.

Finally you need to consider the psychology of the tester or institution testing you. There are irrelevant questions that may not be yes or no questions, but its often more important for you to not be a free thinking paralegal expert and instead a soldier that complies.

So if the question is “have you illegal downloaded mp3s” the answer isn't “the consumer doesnt have the burden of knowing if the provider owns the copyright or associated license and copyright infringement only occurs if you share it” its just “no”, but if you can rationalize your compliance with the legal defense then it will be seamless to say “no” without showing an anomaly on the polygraph

Also congratulations you're a sociopath now, just focus on your breathing
> either you get this back and I will complain about you to your boss or stick around for 5 minutes and get a tip

This is terrible and you should be ashamed of yourself. People who work for tips are at the low end of the power dynamic here and you are exploiting it in a very gross way. If you really do this, you’ve probably eaten some spit too. Don’t mess with the people who handle your food.
> possible to scale a human operation to this level

Here is one stat I found from 2019:

So if videos were reviewed at 1x speed, they would need 24000 humans working 24x7. (Not sure how to scale that to actual jobs, but seems manageable)

Some polygraph setups will include a "butt pad" that you sit on that can detect your flinching.

I think it's interesting because it somewhat supports the claim. If clinching didn't work or help in some way, why bother including a motion detector under your backside.

This is fantastic. Not only have they effectively pushed Microsoft to improve things for everyone (in 1905 of Office and 1903 of Windows specifically, via new [lower] telemetry options), but now Data Viewer supports Microsoft Office's telemetry, and we have more data on what Office's telemetry is doing.

Overall well done PrivacyCompany and the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security. Still seems to be fights left to have, but this is definitely a step in a positive direction.
> What will a landfill be in 10,000 years time?

Someone else's problem.

In all seriousness, by then either we have solved waste disposal through automation, or we will be living in landfills.
I think part of the issue is that errors are not evenly distributed. There are many more false positives (detecting a lie when the subject is truthful) then false negatives. Most people assume errors are random, in this case they are not. Of course, this is combined with the other unreliability of the measurements make it close to a waste of time.

lip service. Im not buying it. Maybe they went to their legal counsel and said.

"How do we do this cheaply, how do we get around approval?"

In either case, you have an education company, educating in the tech field making a technical mistake. Not good. Whats the quick fix. Lawyers fault , we got new lawyers.

1) Is there no legal recourse for being lied to by your lawyer?

2) How do they know they hired the right lawyer now? Did they go cheap the first time?

Dont do the same mistake Lambda school did, dont go cheap with your future. Get a real solid education from an accredited institution. Just dont go into too much debt.
Why blame YouTube? They're doing it at the request of the right holders, who would otherwise have a claim to pull the whole video down. They also provide an automated tool to scrub claimed music from already-uploaded videos (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2902117?hl=en) You might say the music rights holders lack empathy though...

A fair question. An easy answer is that I thought Lisp was pretty cool, and that the students were capable of it. And, pragmatically, I was experienced with it, unlike MaxMSP or Processing.

But there was something philosophical: I liked the idea of introducing them to the feel of fundamental computer science, rather than a nice layer over computers for artists. (And what artists actually use those nice layers?) I wanted them to experience an open source ecosystem (unlike Max), and I felt that the Java-base of Procesing was off aesthetically -- too many layers over the machine.

Thinking about the OP, I do wonder what it would have been like to teach coding-for-artists with Hypercard. One thing I love about Emacs Lisp is that it is only grudgingly visual. That it returns computers to something which sends output to a TTY. It gives people who have grown up with a GUI a vision of what computers were like before. I like that Emacs (and Lisp) are things with a history and touch on earlier eras of computer culture.
I think there needs a be a different term.

To me "compost" is a decomposing pile of natural materials. Plants, certain types of food waste, animal waste, etc. that anyone can put in their backyard (or scale up to industrial size) to turn waste into nutrient rich soil.

A very specific industrial process that can break down a very specific type of material in just the right circumstances is so completely different that it seems odd to me to share the same name.
If you go and look at the Map/Reduce/Filter, Channels, Containers, and Append sections of the examples, there isn't any use of contracts. All that is required for those sections to work is to declare a type parameter, and then allow that parameter to be filled by any type, but still typecheck that all of the variables with the same parameter are the same type at the calling site. There's no need to have a contract for which methods can be called on the type, because we don't need to call any methods or access any fields. In my experience, this fills most use cases. It allows generic data structures, and generic functions over those structures.

If you need a little bit of behavior for those types, such as for a TreeMap data structure or a Sort function, Go's higher order functions make this possible without contracts, by passing in functions. The draft's Containers section uses this approach to construct a TreeMap. The SliceFn function, described in the Sort section, also uses this approach:

func SliceFn(type Elem)(s []Elem, f func(Elem, Elem) bool) {
Sort(sliceFn(Elem){s, f})
}

Although this does use method overloading via contracts in implementation (via Sort), it doesn't need it. I expect that Go's existing interfaces (which yes, are a form of polymorphism, mea culpa) + unbounded parametric polymorphism are enough to solve 90% of Go's current issues.

The more complex cases are still possible to handle with parametrically polymorphic structs containing functions. Yes, that's bad code, but we'd be able to look for this use case, judge how often it occurs, and use it's use cases as data to inform further discussions on contracts.

The only case I struggle to easily deal with is the numeric case. My solution doesn't allow generic numeric functions, although I think there's room to explore that in more detail.
