You are the party of X, whether or not some arbitrary philosophy party X is supposed to uphold is consistent with the party's actions.

My doubts were meant as specifically against your points.

CLOS is often lauded as one of the best object systems. To see it as one of the complaints feels odd.

Cruft in the standard library? Examples would be good here. But, this is hard to get behind. Nobody would be really sad to see Java date leave. That said, many of us are happy we don't have to touch some code that is working fine with it.

And this is next to a demand for a bigger standard library. Which will only lead to more cruft.

Not sure what you mean about the compatibility layer. Care to expand?

My point was if CL had the press of any of the alternatives to gave, that would put weigh the negatives you gave. Instead of chasing removal of stuff, marketing would make more of a difference.
I agree that reCAPTCHA (all versions) are terrible. (At least, sometimes it is possible to avoid the problems by selecting the audio CAPTCHA, which tends to work better as far as I can tell.)

Instead, use the protocol-independent CAPTCHA. It is a SASL mechanism, which sends a challenge with plain ASCII text (and may include line breaks), and then accepts a single response of plain ASCII text, and then the server decides whether or not the response is acceptable. The similar thing can also be done with a simple HTML form, but using SASL would then allow working with any protocols and work with command-line interface just as well as HTML interface, too.
Yeah if this thing does MPE its going to be easier to use with an ipad or running a DAW that has MPE compatible plugins like bitwig, logix prox or cubase. Those hardware were hard to find in the 90s when they were new, compared to the dx7 this module only ever say small production runs.

grepthisab’s comment is about the textual representation, which uses a decimal number < 192.

A bit to my surprise, the textual representation also uses that for the ‘on the wire’ protocol (and that isn’t to keep the format a text format. The ‘MSG’ part of a syslog message can (but SHOULD NOT) contain arbitrary byte sequences (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424#section-6.4). I would have expected this to be packed in a single byte there.

So, we have potentially binary messages, _and_ a syslog parser must know quite a bit of Unicode. Fun :-)
When they target the interest rate through the monetary base, they lost control of the monetary base.

In other words, if they target the interest rate they can't control the monetary base, so, Central Banks don't control the quantity of money in the economy.

If they choose to target the quantity of money in the economy, the tool that they have to use is the interest rate. So, they would lost control over the interest rate.

Modern central banks target the interest rate: they sacrifice control over the monetary base. The central bank don't decide the quantity of money in the economy, they decide the interest rate.

The implication is that they have to cover any necessary reserves by the private banks if they want to keep the interest rate in its target. So, yes, private banks create money when they lend and destroy money when the money is returned. And that's OK because that means that the quantity of money adapts to the activity of the economy.

Hey folks - Twilio's Developer Education team here :wave:

We're super excited to bring TwilioQuest 3 to you today. It's our latest take on the best way to teach developers about APIs.

My public accounting prof. did a lot of consulting for smaller banks. Early in the semester, he made the entire class raise their right hand and repeat "Banks are not my friend" three times. He then advised us on things like keeping our checking account in a separate bank from our mortgage, etc. That lecture alone made the class worth the price, imo.

It depends what value there is in an account, but for a service I run, I just let the bots sign up accounts.

Accounts don't really cost me anything, and they get automatically deactivated if they didn't get any activity in the first 30 days anyway. Activity on my service costs money, so if someone wants to make a bot that pays me money, I have no problem with that.

The only time I'd consider implementing something like reCAPTCHA is if I was giving something away for free (e.g. a free trial) such that a signup actually had a cost for me.

The luxury market in Seattle (Bellevue) crumbled after the Chinese foreign asset taxes went into place. Empty homes that were Chinese owned, are still largely Chinese owned, but suffering from deflation of market value.

It's pretty likely that your and my (dis)taste for particular politicians and parties overlaps, but keep in mind that only one single senator voted against the passage of the Patriot Act as originally presented.

This is what I do with my kids.

They both have the habit of very frequently interrupting me to ask me questions they either know or can find the answer to easily, or asking me to do things they can do for themselves.

I try to avoid just giving a blunt "no" because I'm also trying to instill in them the idea that family is about helping each other. So I try to say, "Yes, but I'm in the middle of ___. Give me a few minutes then I'll help you."

More often than not, as if by magic, it turns out they have the capacity to do it themselves all of a sudden.
This reminds me of Janelle C. Shane's work on AI[1]. Computer vision's been learning based on the photos that people take, not the visions that people see, and this is giving AI a preference for photogenics instead of reality.

People generally don't take pictures of rolling green hillsides. But they very often take pictures of rolling green hillsides with sheep on them. So if you ask the robot to draw a picture of rolling green hillsides, it will include sheep. Or, if you ask it to draw a picture of the savanna, it will want to include giraffes.

Now you're being asked to find a bus in a photo without a bus because it's a street scene, and every street scene has a bus in it.

I haven't read her book, yet, but her Twitter[2] is often full of amusing anecdotes like this.

Thanks for your question.

IMAP is certainly on the todo list :) [1]

For the moment, I am focusing on Gmail in order to develop the features users want and fix the bugs that inevitably arise. Then I will move onto IMAP.

I want to increase the likelihood of a smooth transition to other emails providers. I am both fixing bugs and implementing new features every day so we are getting closer and closer to IMAP every week :)

I wouldn't read too much into the word choice there. "Uncomfortable" is probably a better way to say it.
To be fair, I have not read the article. I am to busy with work today, but I did bookmark it for later. Also, thank you for not being insulted by my question. It wasn't meant as an insult, I was just pondering what the net effect might be if in formalism became dominant:

> why bother going all the way "down there" just to say "good enough"? Why not say "good enough" a lot higher up the ladder closer to where the problem originated.

That is exactly what motivated me to pose the question. Will would-be amateur mathematicians, that might have been great, find themselves lacking the necessary motivation to pursue a deeper understanding of the material? Will they stop climbing the ladder and just say -- good enough?
According to James Risen, one of the reporters that the Obama DOJ went after, "the [Obama] administration has prosecuted nine cases involving whistle-blowers and leakers, compared with only three by all previous administrations combined".[1]

Here's more context from Risen's article, which was written in December, 2016:

> Criticism of Mr. Obama’s stance on press freedom, government transparency and secrecy is hotly disputed by the White House, but many journalism groups say the record is clear. Over the past eight years, the administration has prosecuted nine cases involving whistle-blowers and leakers, compared with only three by all previous administrations combined. It has repeatedly used the Espionage Act, a relic of World War I-era red-baiting, not to prosecute spies but to go after government officials who talked to journalists.

> Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.

> I experienced this pressure firsthand when the administration tried to compel me to testify to reveal my confidential sources in a criminal leak investigation. The Justice Department finally relented — even though it had already won a seven-year court battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court to force me to testify — most likely because they feared the negative publicity that would come from sending a New York Times reporter to jail.

> This is the ultimate humble brag.

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

But the point still stands: that non-compete is draconian. Whilst I highly doubt Amazon would be interested in me, I would not be interested in working for them or any other company that could potentially bar me from making a living for any significant period of time after leaving.

At the most basic level I need to pay my mortgage and household bills, I need to buy groceries, I need to fuel and service my car; maybe I've got a family I need to provide for.

And what's the point of saving from a great salary if you need to spend 18 months burning through those savings after you leave the job? And in what world are most employers going to be willing to wait 18 months to take you on?

Seldom enforced is not the same as never enforced. Humblebrag or not, it sounds like a smart decision to me.

> If Facebook were to start creating or editing content on its platform, it would risk losing that immunity

and

> If Facebook is going to behave like a media provider, picking and choosing what viewpoints to represent, then it’s hard to argue that the company should still have immunity from the legal constraints that old-media organizations live with.

This is all nonsense. Old-media organizations are protected by CDA 230 just like everyone else: they can host third party content like user comments without being liable for it.

Publishers being able to "censor" is the whole value proposition for having a publisher. You're paying for the NYT because it picks who to publish. Facebook has no special "platform" protections that anyone else doesn't get.

Many, many people seem to think that CDA 230 itself makes a distinction between "platforms" and "publishers". I even replied to someone here in this comment section:

> What is the non-conspiracy explanation for the magic bullet involved in the JFK assassination? I only know the conspiracy theory that claims that the CIA accidentally shot JFK and then covered their tracks.

It's entirely possible that a secret service agent accidentally shot Kennedy, and they're on the record of saying so.

"We don't know" is not really a conspiracy theory. "We don't know, therefore X must have done it" is a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy thinking is the tendency to make these connections.

Really nicely presented site, but I can't be the only one who's tired of what feels like people constantly "name dropping" these models to make a point. Just because it has a name doesn't magically make your argument more impactful, you still have to convince me.
My pages apparently don't align with yours (I see page 46 has only a single exercise), but I don't see where Rudin says anything is "good enough." He states the definition of convergence, meaning that if a sequence satisfies the property then we choose to call it convergent. There is no question of good enough

I don't see a claim about an "infinite set of inequalities" - I see an infinite set of I equalities that must be satisfied.

Talking about Romania: in the modem Internet era I cabled (with my brother)the block of flats where we lived to share a connection. The wires were hanging between floors and were simply stitched to the walls internally. These types of cabling were then bought by ISP for cheap and they found themselves with cities cabled for pennies. Now they pulled fiber on public light poles (for free, of course) and interconnected all these networks, changed the switches to Gigabit and got cheap and fast Internet for the masses.
You cannot do this kind of shady work in Germany, you need to get permits, pull the wiring underground, these kind of things increase the cost a lot. Also the mobile Internet is fast in Romania because of the competition from the very fast land lines. In Germany both are missing.
life's too short to solve these things - i view it as the equivalent of a rude host at a restaurant (meaning I'll take my business elsewhere)

8chan and similar make no money. The reason they are able to survive is the cost to run a site is so low (with DDoS protection being critical to lowering resource usage).

Additionally, being on the clearnet is much more accessible to people than having to install Tor, find the onion address and navigate to it. Every barrier added to accessibility bottlenecks the number of people that end up on your site.
> They target the interest rate through the monetary base

This is correct. (The Fed has other tools beside open market operations, however, including directly manipulating rates on reserves and the discount rate.) But monetary base != money supply. The Fed manipulates rates to effect changes on the money supply.
Violence does refer to direct physical harm. There's a subset of people, predominantly in the social sciences, that is trying to redefine violence to include things like "economic violence" and "social violence" (e.g. breaking up with an SO you don't like, or not being friends with someone anymore). This is not the average person's understanding of the word, and personally I feel that it drastically washes down the meaning of violence.

If these things constitute violence then lots of violence is completely legal. In fact, you commit violence probably every day when you decide who to be friends with and who not to be friends with, who gets hired, etc.

> I see no good end to normalizing the idea that even pedophilia qua attraction, as you have it, is in any way okay.

Just as with drug and alcohol addiction, destigmatizing the condition as a moral failing removes a barrier to acknowledgement and seeking (and continuing) treatment, which reduces the likelihood and severity of the condition producing socially harmful behaviors.

In the case of pedophilia, I think that's a pretty big win, but obviously that's a matter of the relative priority of expressing moral revulsion compared to preventing harmful action.

> They were ashamed not only of what they'd done, but also of why they'd done it.

Clearly that shame associated with the orientation didn't do any good in preventing the harmful action, so maybe it's worth considering whether the stigma around the orientation is useful or counterproductive. “People feel shane about having pedophilic orientation but still go out and molest children” doesn't seem to me to be as compelling an argument as you seem to think it is for the social utility of the stigma it references.
> I think this is just what Google does when it thinks you're a "bot": i.e. they don't know who you are.

Maybe this is to prevent adversarial learning? If the images reload immediately, then the bot can learn (via a neural network) whether its solution was good or not. If there's a delay, it's the same, but the learning is slowed down by the same factor.

No idea if this is true, it just popped out of my head.
And no one finds it suspicious that these shooters were all posting on 8chan and happened to blow up at once?

Folks, you're witnessing false flags designed specifically to censor sites like 8chan, where the deep state can't control the message.
