The thing that's the most powerful to me is that they actively decide which companies aren't following ethical practices and decide to invest away from them.

https://www.nbim.no/en/the-fund/news-list/2019/decision-to-r...

When the companies behave properly and decide to follow ethical behavior, they put them back again on the investment list.

I also wonder how the Softbank 100B vision fund is going to fare compared to the Norway investment fund. Although 5% growth rate sounds meager, they have done well since 1998, and it seems that the fund is generally betting on low risk returns.

Massive kudos to Norway for showing the world how not to fuck up your country like Venezuela when you're sitting on a money mountain.
Yes, that is the case. Tenofovir and emtricitabine are generally well-tolorated. They can affect bone density and kidney function and this should be monitored; the majority of people experience no side-effects.

That part of the FA you're quoting refers to the table, not the actual images of the circles; the part of the FA that I directly linked seems to imply something different.

Unless specific circles in the diagram are somehow linked to the specific authors?
In banks, a lot of the important operations are on entrenched/Legacy systems (eg mainframes) or vendor/cots solutions.

Therefore for some developers in a bank, a lot of work tends to focus on shovelling data around the bank in a myriad of formats to interact with these systems, or get data in and out of databases.

I get that. My point is that it's disingenuous to call it "free" in the headline when it's clearly not free in the way you would normally use the word in that context.
What a creepy slave attitude. When you go to jail and someone tells you to pick up the soap, do you just do that?
The mathematical definition is canonical. It is the one that preserves context. The scheme definition is incomplete and allows for invalid compositions to occur.

Forth is not composing anything. Remember that, it is imitating composition through a collection of primitive commands. Composition exists in a function as a primitive. Again no one is talking about isomorphism between procedural and functional languages.

Composition exists as a primitive in functional, composition exists as a concept of multiple commands in forth or other procedural languages. Get it?

It's absurdly "bad" form taken to such an extreme that it's basically parody (or art).
I think this is the right response to the gp's budget item enumeration.

People don't naturally pay the minimum for each necessary bill and never buy anything else. They have a stream of money and tend to spend it on what they see their costs are now.

Some adults are cognizant of future planning and are detailed with their budgets (past, present, and future), but I suspect most are too tired from working + raising kids to spend the extra mental effort to budget carefully and stick to it.
Frightens me to think of the impact this is going to have on agricultural production over the next ten years. In cooler countries, there's sometimes benefits to warmer seasons, though biotic stresses like more insects / fungal diseases tend to dampen that.

In hotter countries (many of which are developing), abiotic and biotic stresses can easily combine with bad weather events to wipe out an entire region's production. The political instability that this can and likely will cause is the greatest short-term climate change issue in my opinion. I really don't see how it can be avoided, given trans-national institutions which may have helped buffer these impacts are also at their lowest ebb since WW2.
Hi, author here. Certain software may bring greater value for society when it is freely accessible for everyone, without compromising on user privacy, while being partially subsidized by users who can afford to sponsor such projects.

It would benefit us all if browser vendors would enable users to easily support extensions, and do so from a unified user interface, like an extension store.

It sends a different signal for the user when a browser vendor encourages and handles contributions for extensions, instead of leaving developers on their own to build makeshift donation prompts and expect users to give out credit card data or sign up to third-party services just to donate.

Sponsoring your favourite extensions right from your Google or Firefox account would help projects receive more funding, be more user-centered, and further enrich the browser extension ecosystem, while encouraging new developers to publish their own extensions and support user needs.
My personal learning style generally involves learning in layers, and I would imagine a high-level overview of TLS 1.2 would be good since it provides some frame of reference before jumping into TLS 1.3, which from what I understand is an evolution of TLS 1.2 to provide better security. I seem to recall quite a bit of discussion during the development in regards to making TLS 1.3 look similar to TLS 1.2 for the sake of dealing with middleboxes.

If someone knows of a high-level document about 1.3 that goes through the handshake process and differences with 1.2, that would be a great reference to have!
Coordination on a multi-national level (outside ad-hoc corporate arrangements) is an ideological non-starter for most of the world's governments.
Correct.

And I say over and over, it is time to evaluate the true cost of crime.
I wonder how this affects their system. If you have 10 years of a changing facial profile on someone, is their algorithm smart enough to drop older items? Or do you, in your 20s, look like your ten year old brother?

If it is embarrassingly parallelizable, then why would the total amount of energy (megawatts) invested in running the function not grow until it equals the economic value of the outputs, regardless of the particulars of the algorithm.

And if it's not embarrassingly parallelizable, first, tell me why, and second, what's all this business about optimizing the algorithm in the first place?

A quick online search seems to show that 1g of caviar costs $7-$10 (presumably in bulk, not retail).

$410M is about 60 metric tonnes of caviar.

Still a better deal than buying a tier-3 food delivery company.
> It is a regular occurrence to hear about open source developers selling their browser extensions, only for their users to be exploited later on by the new owners. ... We are witnessing the failure of browser vendors to recognize the value of our labor and the important role it plays in a healthy browser ecosystem.

So this is an interesting philosophical question - the market value of the extension is the value of "monetizing" it by stuffing ads, or worse, monitoring/tracking/exfiltration, into the extension. It's the market value of the trust of the extension's userbase. Is that the value of the extension developer's labor?

I would argue not really. The value of a bank, for instance, is not the amount of money in all of the vaults. That money is held in trust for customers, and it is not for the owner of the bank to dispose of. Therefore, nobody who makes a fair offer for the bank should expect those resources in the transaction, so a fair market price for the bank is much less - such as the present value of the interest earned by the bank minus the interest returned to customers.

In particular, the only reason the bank has customers is they expect to get their money back, generally with interest, at some point in the future. If they didn't, they'd put their money elsewhere. So if a bank is willing to sell the contents of the customer accounts, that indicates incomplete information in the market - customers didn't know the bank wasn't trustworthy. The true market value of the bank, in a perfect-information market, would be close to zero.

It seems like the problem here is that we know two ways of compensating browser extension developers: "don't" and "breach your users' trust." Those point to wildly undervalued and wildly overvalued estimates of the fair market value of the developers' work. And we should come up with some fairer way to value their work (or, more fundamentally, to compensate them; we may not need to monetize the extension, necessarily) first, and I'm not totally sure it's the fault of browsers for not having had such a clever idea - it seems like we collectively need to figure that out.
I personally just used this to drill a bunch of vent holes, though N = 37.
Everyone that I've talked to about their rental property usually talks about it in terms of just the cash flow though. So yeah, they'll complain about unexpected costs that bring them close to "break even" in many years, but then after 30 years they have a $500,000 (or however much it's worth) asset. So I don't feel too bad for them, and it makes sense why so many people do this if they can afford to.

I’m a master’s student in Computer Science at Oxford (graduating in September). I am enthusiastic about data science and machine learning with an interdisciplinary education in industrial engineering and computer science. Interested in a full-time position where I can utilise my current skills and knowledge, and I can further develop these skills in a practical and fast-paced environment.
Great idea! Since you're using Electron/React, did you guys build something in-house for the screen sharing + cursor collaboration? in my experience, nodeJS is really bad at this kind of real-time stuff
Perhaps keeping it separate is a good thing technically.

DoorDash app and website are a dumpster fire with usability and bugs galore.

The issue is as a user is if you bring this up to DoorDash support they have no internal process for handling reported issues with the app and website and letting the development team know.
I'd love to be disposed of in a cool and eco-friendly way. Give the nutrients back to nature so to speak. I'd be fine with just being tossed in a bog etc and letting things eat away. But rules and all...even the most basic no frills cremation is something like 1500usd which is obscene in my view. I find the 5 figure events with ornate sealed caskets to be ridiculous.

part of that sounds right. Our founder is an engineer-turned-PM and have a team of engineers + designers + PMs. He runs the design + engineering dept. for other startups.

but alas, this is not a marketing tactic for the agency business. Think about it - people coming in through here are literally coming because they do not have the funds to make their idea a reality.

This is him wanting to create a resource that he wished he had back when he was starting out.

He just wants to work with excellent doers / founders. who have an idea, know their market, while we can build the product. They own it and scale it, run it the way they want to run it.
What legitimate reason is there for an American citizen to tell a Chinese newspaper about Chinese computer systems US intelligence agencies have compromised? Is it fine to leak information about CIA-compromised Russian systems as long as I leak it to Pravda and not the NYT or directly to GRU? Your distinction has no practical use.

Also, "published" because Snowden didn't publish anything. He showed documents to SCMP, which publishes a newspaper.
I think that's a bit unfair to Mozilla. They previously had prioritized extensibility over security, that is, extensions and plugins had basically direct access to the browser's C code itself. They've now prioritized security over extensibility. That's not to say that extensibility isn't a priority (or that security was previously not a priority).
School busing’s lasting legacy on cities
Interesting business model, but Jakarta is insanely dense (largest city in APAC) which is probably why its more profitable. In the U.S. you have urban sprawl and suburbs, which increase variable costs of delivery.
Great; some NGO, based on (citations needed) claims millions of premature deaths a year from alcohol, a substance which has been used by humans for at least 30,000 years. I look forward to their detailed report on what the projections are for widespread psychedelic use.

Of course there won't be any. Because psychedelic use is at least at present a useful form of social control. I know a few people who killed themselves drinking and driving, and have a cousin who drank themselves to death. I know dozens, perhaps hundreds of people who have destroyed themselves psychologically using psychedelics. Dead people are tragic. Zombies are worse.
Ooooh! I finally get to be the guy that helpfully posts the context for that saying! (And while I absolutely love this clip, I'm sad that it's become relevant so often in the past few years.)

Exactly, I hear many of them are already in the system...
I'd love to see a source for that.
>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

IE (used to?) have this bottom notification warning about 'X plugin is slowing IE, would you like to disable it?'. Perhaps Firefox should add similar feature and notify users about slow plugins, maybe even with some actual data instead of a vague slowness claim.
They're also failing to support users, as hinted by the article. The fact that developers are able to simply hand over control of extensions to a third party, who are going to do god knows what with it, without the user being informed at all, is ridiculous.

I have a few extensions with 10-100,000 users and have received many emails from people asking to buy one. The numbers in the article seem accurate - if you have 100,000 users you could be looking at offers for tens of thousands of dollars. So, it's no surprise that developers cave in and compromise their users' security.
>Did you ever watch a congressional hearing in the US on any technology realated subject? It's a comedic bit.

This comment could be straight out of 1870 when things were industrializing rapidly. We'll figure it out eventually. Hopefully without any serious oppression and/or bloodshed in the process.

Why would you reach any other conclusion? We are a bloodthirsty, competitive, barbaric species that can't go very long without killing large numbers of ourselves in the name of various things we create and twist to fit our tribal tendencies. Certainly people can learn otherwise but it seems any institutions dedicated to peace, civility, helping others or expanding knowledge eventually get co-opted to serve baser instincts, if they aren't created under a subtext of them at the outset.

Humanity is not faced with a problem. Humanity is the problem.
I'd imagine the problems are far more fundamental -- do they work at all given the typically poorly constructed training sets. And also what is their FP/FN rates for subsets of the population -- do they work as well/poorly for everyone?

The problem I see with many of these systems are -- they are trained on one population and used for inference on a very different distribution (minorities.) OR their accuracy is only high on the overall population, not universally accurate across all subsets.

When those in charge, those with political power, etc (usually non-minorities) "see" the performance of the system, they experience it in their own context where it works. They don't feel the pain from the experience of the sub-populations where false positives/negatives are larger.
How is coordinating on global warming not a hard technical challenge? Politics is inherently a hard problem. And even if we were able to extricate politics from the discussion, it's a hard problem to define the optimal benchmarks and criteria for emissions reduction, across all countries and jurisdictions.

(by definition, defining these criteria for the world would necessarily involve politics)
Not inaccurate. People should research this further.

Good luck finding a way to say it.
Sure - if you disregard the 50 billion months before you started counting your flips.

> don't understand how standard rates are sky high while promotional rates are near the rock bottom.

Promo rates are the bank's marketing department paying to hook in the card holder on the probability that they will use the card for a long time. The standard rate largely factors in the cost of doing transactions (shared with the merchant percentage) and covering the risk of default.

The 14-18% rates go to 24%+ if the card holder moves to a higher risk class (recently defaulted on another card, missing payment dates, etc).
That's always brought up but the debt used to be dischargeable and people didn't default on it at any abnormally high rate. With current loan inflated tuition prices I bet there would be a spike in "intentional" bankruptcy as tuition prices plummet towards their new equilibrium.
I dunno, I make over 250k/year in base comp, and if you offered me an extra 20k, I would work an additional 10%.

Regardless, Jeff Bezos is most certainly not managing his finances himself, he probably has an army of peons advising him on everything.

I can confirm the whole Mediterranean region near Italy is going through successive heatwaves. Previously, it is not uncommon to have 40C days in the summer. But it is just a few random days. It is almost normal week/heatwave week now.

Tomorrow temperature around Tunis will be in the 41-45C range. That's very uncommon for this coastal city.
The computation described (compute x^(2^t) mod N) is designed to not be parallelizable.
I guess this is "how it's done". But why should it be? As long as all the hypotheses he states can be directly measured in humans that should be enough.

Treating humans as black boxes isn't necessary anymore. We have very good measuring tools now. I believe we can make much faster progress if we just look inside and use logic inference.
Now look at the revenue per device that is generated for developers.

https://themanifest.com/app-development/android-vs-ios-which...

Not only is it easier to build and maintain apps for iOS, people spend a lot more money on that platform. That Android market share is, in large part, driven by developing nations that aren't going to spend a lot of money on buying software on their mobile devices.

That could certainly change in the future, but I just want to illustrate why just talking about the number of devices might not be the best indicator for which platform you should develop applications.
