I would imagine some of the dissatisfaction with life that some of the school shooters feel is at least, in part, fueled by constantly being bombarded by advertisement that is trying to make a sale by convincing them that their life is terrible as it is without whatever they're selling.
> To understand the importance of PFS, consider these two sentences: "A dog bit my friend" and "My friend bit a dog." It is impossible to distinguish the difference in meaning using words or grammar alone, since both words and grammatical structure are identical in these two sentences.

Am I missing something here? Those two sentences are absolutely distinguishable grammatically - in one of the them the subject is "a dog" and the object is "my friend" and in the other the subject is "my friend" and the object is "a dog".

I realize this is kind of nitpick, but at the very least this is a very bad example to use to demonstrate the importance of this PFS concept.
In-house data or at least switching to Foursquare (like they use in Europe).
How's your internship at Yelp going?
You'd be asked for a consent that includes the research description & details.
FWIW it does, although it's fussy and only works on posts in the last few days.

tbh Reddit's repost detector causes more problems than it solves (it still triggers if the original post was removed).
Yelp still has the best (as in the most comprehensive) reviews of restaurants. Google's reviews are littered with one sentence reviews which is rather unfortunate.

Having said that Yelp is absolutely, positively removes negative reviews from places that pay it for promoting. Having written a few and having opened tickets after those reviews disappeared I found the fun tricks they use to be able to claim that they don't censor reviews. They absolutely do. The only way to ensure that your review stays up is to post a copy of your check as a part of your review ( that's why you are seeing them these days ) which of course makes you totally identifiable and open to the lawsuits. Otherwise whoever "owns" the listing can dispute the review by claiming the person who left it is not sharing his or her personal experience.
You misquoted that. Sushi is expensive, the point is it’s all relative and I think for the quality it’s typically more in the range of $60 a meal. Very expensive compared to other meals sure, but a good value for the quality of sushi.
(TripAdvisor-owned) TheFork, aka La Fourchette, is the way to go in Europe. The quality of the reviews on that site is impressive, and there are numerous torch-the-unicorn style discounts to be had. Europeans take their food seriously :-)
Sure the datacenter infrastructure won't require the mitigations, but every single multi-tenant die will.

Inexpensive for the quality.
One suggestion I have is to try using Intellij as your IDE. It has some built in integrations that make spinning up a new spring boot project a lot simpler.

Or, if you really like using an IDE that doesn't offer these integrations, then another option is to make use of this page: https://start.spring.io/

It makes the initial setup easier.
Yes. antitrust law is exactly about having a moat (exclusionary conduct) and more than some pct of the market (monopoly power).
I used to work for a company that owned a bunch of traditional broadcast stations. The day the CEO got up in front of the local branch of the company and asked the question (roughly) "How do we get people to watch broadcast TV again?" I knew it was time to get out there. The company is still around and probably has enough inertia to keep going for a long while, but with that kind of thinking in the leadership, it's pretty much a zombie.
High quality banter. Truly enlightening commentary.
Man, I must be old--the first thing to come to mind was the Dannon yogurt ads from the 1970s with the old people of Soviet Georgia. And, at the time, Dannon actually caught some flack because there was no documentation of how old these people really were.
Yelp does have that feature that tells you how many people are in front of you. It's a really nice feature, too. I was able to walk around the Japantown mall in SF while I waited for our seat. I'd actually be happy with it if I didn't already hate yelp for their scummy things.
For skilled worker immigration to Canada, every applicant has to take an English test, regardless of country of origin or native language. It doesn't seem right, but it gets really complicated trying to say what countries would have the level of native English that the CDN government wants for their skilled immigrants.

So in this case you would put NO, and then go on and give your approximate level in the next question.

Thanks!

We could have a better/safer C but alas we don't. It's either C or all the way to Zig/Rust/etc territory (or using C++ like C).
> That said, even on Linux allocators will return NULL when they're just out of address space; there's no overcommit going on there.

Try calling fork() in that process then. By rights, the new process should inherit its own copy of all the address space of the old process, and is free to overwrite it with whatever it wants. Linux (by default) won't stop fork() from failing on a process with N GB of RAM and total memory(+swap) < 2N GB, yet there simply isn't the memory around for both processes. There's your overcommit.

> OR the EU could make/force an agreement that Libya/Algeria/Morocco take back migrants recovered in the Mediterranean.

There is also a third option, which is to send them somewhere else. There are a number of countries in Africa that are poor, but still aren't in the midst of any active war or genocide. If you're from a country that is, why not go there?

The answer is that the real reason so many want to come to the EU isn't the humanitarian crisis at home, it's for the better money. But when that's their primary motivation, and they have the same alternative as anyone from any of the other countries they could live in, then their claim is no better than anyone else's.

It's fair to not want to be in Libya right now, but when you have the option to move east, west or south, there is a lot less moral force in the argument that you have a right to move north.
Let me elaborate on why this argument isn't simply "whataboutism":

Nobody would call for Google to be shut down for the "evil" content they mirror and link to. We all have an implicit understanding that Google is simply a tool, a neutral platform to connect people to websites.

In fact, we believe the exact contrary. For us well educated folks, it's preventing access to Google on the basis of its content that is seen as a backward, deeply offensive move (China, Iran).

We look at the purpose and nature of the platform itself when we judge Google.
Well, the purpose of 8chan has never been to promote hate, but instead to provide an open alternative to 4chan, where everyone is welcome to open a board about any topic[1].

The reason why 8chan is ridden by "evil" content has more to do with the heavily controlled state of the giant internet networks, than the nature of 8chan in itself. Nothing about 8chan caters to hateful communities in particular. It's simply one of the few open social networks on the web, which naturally attracts the people rejected from mainstream social networks first.
Were it to be more popular, the ratio of "evil" to "decent" communities would trend towards the ratio found in other social networks.

So why do we call for it to be shut down, when its only real fault is to be too small? If you were the user of an 8chan community about cooking cupcakes (or furries, or BDSM), you certainly wouldn't want 8chan to be shut down just because some people are using the site differently.

___

Now I don't disagree with the reality that intellectually vulnerable people can be influenced by hateful communities in sites like 8chan, and that this is a problem to solve.

But in my opinion, the solution is to go in the total opposite direction of what you propose.
The urge to seek out and enter fringe communities is healthy, and at least a necessary step in one's intellectual development. People will from time to time look to escape out of controlled environments, into the bigger space of possibilities. This won't change for as long as we keep teaching kids that freedom is good.

The problem is that, as conventional social networks get more and more controlled, and havens of diversity suppressed (Tumblr, ...), the only remaining places of freedom are those where all the "evil" has been funneled in. That's how people wanting to escape oppression or simply discover new possibilities, get shoved in places where "evil" looks like the norm.

Therefore, the solution is not to shut down one of the last places of diversity on the internet, Instead, we should try to make diversity and openness of thought as widespread as possible, so that "evil" doesn't seem like the only option to a lost, vulnerable individual.

Birds already do most of the work to avoid collisions, and automated control of low-flying "cars" can work if there's a good system of coordination (ADS-B++) and "lanes". Yes, we can have lanes, which I imagine will exist in layers above freeways. Of course there will be times where weather shuts down the air traffic, but with computer control of the aircraft's navigation they could be usefully integrated into the national highways and airspaces.
In the context of the US, it doesn't matter what the 'left' in terms of the rest of the world is. If you're gonna argue and accuse someone of having a 'patriarchal reactionary bent' and being dishonest, perhaps be honest and genuine yourself.

Just claim you were born years earlier, tada!
>I don't, at least not comfortably (I probably could swing buying a newer car, but it'd definitely be painful)

Remember also, older cars cost a lot: they might not cost much to buy, but they cost a lot to keep running, because of repair costs. If you do your own work and have the time, this might not be a big issue, but for a lot of people it definitely is, and it's why they trade up to a newer car every so often: the repair costs on the old car become greater than the value of the car, so it's cheaper to just sell it and buy something newer that isn't breaking down all the time. On top of that, don't forget the cost of having a breakdown, as this can affect your job.
I wonder sometimes if Google Maps does better than Yelp because it tracks where people actually eat, not where they say they eat.
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> How do those customers ever delete anything? Click every single file?

The current recommended work around is to write a very short "life cycle rule" in the web GUI that deletes any/all files 1 day after it is uploaded and let it run for 24 hours and come back to an empty bucket. Yes, I know this is lame. https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/lifecycle_rules.html

Just to be clear, there are two separate product lines at Backblaze: 1) Backblaze Personal Backup which is COMPLETELY automatic and you don't need to delete anything, ever, it is all automatic, and 2) Backblaze "B2" which is a toolkit for IT people and programmers. This is only a problem for the "B2" side, and the IT people and programmers (for now) can write a script or write the "life cycle rule". But we will get this fixed, it is on the roadmap.
Grubhub's process of creating fake websites that compete with the restaurant's official site so that they can take a cut of any direct orders is so scummy.

I refuse to have anything to do with either company. I care about my local restaurants, not slimy practices like that.
You can't maintain liquid water at those temps. I don't think we are on trajectory for Venus like weather.
I recently build this AMD based development rig with an ITX board and the cheapest GPU I could find:

https://penguindreams.org/blog/louqe-ghost-s1-build-and-revi...

I would have much rather left the GPU out entirely and used the space for something else, but the high end Ryzens don't have any graphics supports. I'd have to go down to the APU units, where I'd trade off power.

There's little point to even having HDMI/DisplayPort outs on the board itself; they're unusable except for a small subset of APUs.
Yelp 5 years ago was a truly valuable service. You could go anywhere (in America) and find good food.

Then they lost focus. The app has not improved an ounce since then (seriously why is 'open now' not a default filter) and they've spent a lot of time doing shady things or complaining about other companies. They've tried to get into reservations, delivery, and non-food services but with half-assed attempts at each. They also did a really bad job at maintaining a healthy reviewer community (Google has done much better).

It's a shame because I don't think any other app took the lead here. Yelp just walked backwards into the pack.
The Google alternative to Yelp is Local Guides: https://maps.google.com/localguides

You can earn points and level up for your contributions (reviews, photos), but they don't have anywhere near the incentive structure as Yelp yet.
The crime rate is low, the literacy level medium-high. I wonder if any of the authors ever came to Sardinia.
Google Maps reviews are actually pretty good for many businesses.
I think they asked in a respectful manner, so I don’t see anything wrong with their comment really.

Python 2 will be EOLed soon.

https://pythonclock.org/

4 months 25 days 5 hours left until Python 2 is retired. After that point it will no longer be maintained by the Python project.

Of course Linux distros and companies will keep Python 2 running for years to come because of all of the tools that are Python 2 only.

New projects ought to be written in Python 3. However, in this case my guess would be that OP probably used Python 2.7 because macOS ships with Python 2.7 preinstalled.

So if we could, Apple are the ones that we ought to speak to. Convince Apple to ship macOS with Python 3 pre-installed.
Who are the main developers who will be working on this project? If the developers are largely used to Node, or Ruby, the package management, and language features might make them more comfortable, and if they are not comfortable with C++ already, the Rust learning curve might be negligible compared to some of the oddities with C++.

If you have developers coming from languages like Java or C# which have a structural similarity to C++, or if you have developers already familiar with C++, I would say that there is no need to throw that experience away, and that experience would get you guys farther than trying the new language.

In my experience, the clang compiler is very developer friendly in terms of error reporting and features. The only people that I know that say that C++ is old and clunky were those using gcc and C++98. Make is pretty open ended as a scripting tool/build tool, and there are plenty of alternatives if you don't like make.

I would choose based on demographics of your team. If you have a bunch of young developers, or if you want to hire a bunch of young developers, Rust is pretty popular with that crowd, and has a lot of language features that will make them feel comfortable. That being said, I only recommend Rust if you have a developer that is very comfortable with it, and can guide you through the borrow checker, whether to use stable or nightly rust, and the foreign function interface. C++ will require more discipline because there is less constraints that prevent you from shooting yourself in the face with code readability and memory safety, but it is proven, and if you have the C++ developers on hand, have them decide on a style guide and review process that works for your team.

“Do You Think We're Living in a Simulation?” (George Hotz and Lex Fridman)
Thanks for sharing this. I use Yelp for client lunches because I rarely know the area well, and it easily identifies restaurants that deliver. I always felt kind of slimy because of anecdotal rumors. I may have even perpetuated those rumors in passing. Now I feel a bit better, and I have some resources to back it up.
> every single multi-tenant die will.

To be fair though, those chips are a comparatively small part of the datacenter market. Most of them are sitting in IT closets, or per the example above are running HPC workloads on bare metal. Cloud services are the sexy poster child for the segment, but not that large in total.
Interestingly the holder of the record for oldest human being remains Jeanne Calment and there's a lot of evidence for her record. Wikipedia mentions a theory that her daughter might have assumed her identity in the 1930's[1] but it doesn't appear very credible.

So I guess it is possible to live that old, just extremely unlikely.

I love reading, but only a handful of books have really changed the way I look at the world. The Bluest Eye was one of them.

Minor spoiler: in the bluest eye a young black girl obsesses over a white female doll with blue eyes. Before I read it, I never considered the impact that the idealization of white beauty could have on minorities. After reading that book, I realized how important it was for children to be able to look up to role models (fictional or otherwise) that look like them.

In my own life, I have had my own share of fantasy role models (I am a huge Tolkien fan, and when I was younger I loved all things fantasy) that shaped my own identity, and after reading The Bluest Eye I had to consider the idea: how would those books have affected me if all characters looked nothing like me? I do not think the effect would have been positive.
> you will be able to pay a service provider a fee to update DNS entries for you.

So every time I add a new LB, or cycle out an environment I have to pay someone? And then wait for them to process the chain to publish the result?

Remind me, what did etherium get to for transactons to clear? 20 something hours? That is not something I want when I am trying to redirect traffic from either a set of NS records that are broken, or if I host the full zone in the chain, a broken AWS / Azure region.

Combine the time to wait for caches to refresh on the internets (better these days, but still longer than people would like), with waiting for a blockchain to publish my new records, and you have ops people in pain.

DNS is already one of the largest fault tolerant, eventually consistent, cachable, federated, and globally distributed key value databases ever to exist - we don't need to add blockchain to the mix.

> In that story, the piggies couldn't file class action lawsuits against the wolf. If sites could lie without consequence in official business capacity, why would the average privacy policy take 18 minutes to read?

I'm low on sleep today, so I'm honestly having a hard time parsing this argument. Are you saying that Yelp and other businesses are sufficiently afraid of class-action lawsuits that they're not willing to do shady things? If this were the case, we'd reach one of those dumb school-book economic equilibriums where no class-action lawsuits would take place. Businesses evaluate the risk of doing things, balancing profit against loss. Exposure to a lawsuit is just another number in that calculation.

> independent scientific study

That study is looking at whether fraudulent reviews are being added to the platform, not whether Yelp is calling up businesses and offering to remove bad reviews in exchange for money, which was my understanding of the original complaints against Yelp.
Great idea. For my usecase it appears to be missing support for unicode (emoji) though...
It's intended to be code-edited by a developer. The goal is to have an advance starting point. You'll start with "everything" ready to work on the fun stuff. If you curious enough to see the output I'm happy to share the code from our demo. If it makes sense drop me a line at john [@] zecoda.com
It is sad that Copyright, working closer to how it was originally intended, gets spun as 'a quirk'. Copyright is supposed to expire after a period of time rather than exist in perpetuity for the sole benefit of Copyright holders.
The switch from Python 2 to 3 was slowed down tremendously because major libraries did not fully support Python 3 immediately. The question regarding the dependencies was legitimate.
Nope. As long as you're alive, you're breathing and taking in C14 from the atmosphere (it's produced by cosmic rays turning N14 into C14). When you did you no longer breathe and the C14 decays. So radiocarbon dating measures the time from the death of the organism to the present. edit: ninja'd.

Not directly related to your comment, but a book I read recently was tangentially related and really interesting "Never Home Alone" [1].

It is basically about all the life around us that we don't notice, from microbes to insects, etc.

He had a section where he talked about the yeast we use for wine production coming originally from wasps who land on the grapes.

And also a section where they had 20 or so bakers from different regions each use the same initial sour dough
starter and then agree to feed it for like 6 months or something and at the end they all got together and each baker made a loaf of bread using their sour dough culture. The purpose of the experiment was to see how the local environment affected what grew in the starters and how that would affect taste.

I thought it was a super interesting book.

I use Foursquare and really like it (compared to Yelp). As it's crowd-sourced, the data can be iffy (missing hours, phone numbers) in some lower density regions, but that hasn't been a huge drawback.
Note that the introduction of birth certificates in the US only reduced supercentarians, it didn’t eliminate them.

I would be willing to accept that most are frauds, but I do think it is possible for someone to live to be a supercentarian. I have met a couple people who are around 100 who seemed healthy and had it all together mentally. I’m sure some decent percent of people in that position have the ability to live for another 10 years
