I have told my story over and over so anyone truly interested can look in my history as I won't write it all again, but I lost my life due to America's system and have sunk further as an ironic consequence of only having access to it. Every time these topics come up I see people defending it or making claims that are simply false.

ACA was a horrible compromise because the right would not allow proper Universal Healthcare. In my state, as in many, there is a gap where you can be denied a subsidized ACA plan and Medicaid. I fall in that gap and get nothing but the privilege of buying a full priced ACA, poor coverage, plan for something like 7-800usd a month plus something like 6000usd yearly deductible plus the multi thousand coverage floor you mentioned. All of which is impossible for me. I did things right. I had a significant savings when this happened, spent most all of it on this stuff, I have a few hundred a month pension I was lucky to have, it doesn't cover my needs, I have no insurance or benefits. I was denied disability. This is America.

Someone else below also brought out the "I know lots of people from Europe who come to the USA for superior healthcare" line as well. I lived in Europe and never met or heard of a single person who did this. It surely happens. But its not "lots" nor proof of some superiority.

I recently got another diagnosis after having to really fight and spend a lot because the system is so broken. The 3-5min you get and insane costs for everything hinders care. I was already on the edge as my history points to...and have been trying desperately to move back to Europe where its not perfect, but even in the paid, private system I would have access to for the first years I can get far superior care to here for less. But the hits just keep coming and I don't see making it anywhere now. I wish people would care about others and how this system hurts them, rather than their politics. I will lose my life because of politics I never chose to be born into and that have continually reduced my quality of life. I just cannot understand why people continually deny this is the case and fight against that which helps all of us. I have mostly passed anger and am in intense disappointment on the issue. I just want to live. I am not allowed to.
> are morally on the hook if the felon commits another crime?

In the Age of Outrage, yes, even though it's stupid.
Homebrew is only useful for macOS users though sadly.
I guess what I meant was that libpng is (currently) the only implementation that attempts to fit a libpng-shaped hole. Not in the sense of being API or ABI compatible, but in the sense of being a free-floating multiplatform library solely dedicated to PNGs, rather than a higher-level multiformat library or OS API.

Because of this, libpng gets linked in by a lot of the higher-level multiformat libraries (like SDL) or graphics toolkits (like WxWidgets) when their aim is also to be “portable” free-floating multiplatform libraries, rather than libraries that have special per-OS code-paths for everything. (Which becomes especially important in things like embedded OSes/unikernels, or sandboxes like Emscripten, where there aren’t any OS image APIs.) And these portable libraries and toolkits then get used by runtimes that want portability, like Erlang or Love2D; or by software that can’t access the OS’s SDK to link to system libraries, like game-console homebrew.

In these cases, the feature-set of libpng determines the PNG features that these higher-level libraries support. SDL supports loading animated images—but not from APNG, because libpng doesn’t provide SDL with that capability. SDL isn’t going to do the work of adding their own APNG support; they’ve got enough on their plate just making sure all their components stay glued together. But if there was a “better” PNG library than libpng, that ticked all the same portability boxes? They’d switch.

Don’t study success. The people who double their money by betting it all on black didn’t have some divine insight that you can copy, they just got lucky. But do study failure. The people who lose everything by betting it all on red did have a fatal flaw in their approach to risk that will be valuable for you to avoid or at least be well aware of.

One of the obvious faliures to study is that many great teams with great ideas failed to get any funding because they didn’t walk the startup walk or talk the startup talk with potential investors, which is exactly why you should talk about copying Tesla and about growth hacking.
> Inspectors are typically former industry workers and may have perverse reporting incentives. Places like ND and WV are rife with corruption between wealthy drilling corps and regulatory bodies.

This is a major part of the wider issue. Regulatory bodies are financially incentivized to not work as intended. There needs to be a restructuring of the current incentives, so as to balance the priorities of the people and the planet.

Unfortunately, the rule makers are the profit takers, so don’t expect them to self regulate..
The fact that there are more evil evils doesn't counter act the argument. What a weird argument to make... It's like the"why are we funding research into X when heart disease kills more people". "Why are we focusing on guns when cars kill more people".

Maybe the answer is we don't ship dangerous materials across vast distances using methods that are dangerous to the local communities. Why does the answer have to be whatever the cheapest most convenient solution for the company? It should be the solution is least likely to cause serious harm and meets the needs of the communities it impacts.
Yeah that's a bit of my worry. Granted I've only listened to Rogan a few times so maybe my view is skewed.

I don't mind "Hey let's hear this idea out." but at some point hearing an idea out without really identifying that the idea or theory has so much BS behind it is kinda questionable.
I suspect that people would get suspicious if someone is offering them free sex parties. If there's a fee then it would probably be less suspicious.

> xlnet trained on 10x more data than original BERT No, I've read on a github issue of xlnet that xlnet base is same size as bert base and xlnet large is same size as bert large. (I don't know for ernie 2)

It's not about the size of the model, but the training data. If you read the XLNet paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.08237.pdf they clearly state in section 3.1:

"Following BERT [10], we use the BooksCorpus [41] and English Wikipedia as part of our pretraining
data, which have 13GB plain text combined. In addition, we include Giga5 (16GB text) [23],
ClueWeb 2012-B (extended from [5]), and Common Crawl [6] for pretraining. We use heuristics
to aggressively filter out short or low-quality articles for ClueWeb 2012-B and Common Crawl,
which results in 19GB and 78GB text respectively. After tokenization with SentencePiece [16], we
obtain 2.78B, 1.09B, 4.75B, 4.30B, and 19.97B subword pieces for Wikipedia, BooksCorpus, Giga5,
ClueWeb, and Common Crawl respectively, which are 32.89B in total"

If you compare to BERT paper https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805.pdf training data for "pretraining data" section in also section 3.1:

"Pre-training data The pre-training procedure
largely follows the existing literature on language
model pre-training. For the pre-training corpus we
use the BooksCorpus (800M words) (Zhu et al.,
2015) and English Wikipedia (2,500M words).
For Wikipedia we extract only the text passages
and ignore lists, tables, and headers. It is critical to use a document-level corpus rather than a
shuffled sentence-level corpus such as the Billion
Word Benchmark (Chelba et al., 2013) in order to
extract long contiguous sequences."

So 32.89B words for XLNet vs 3.3B words for BERT.

We've also run fine tuning experiments supplementing additional private medical corpus (~10B words) and felt starting from clinical-bert was better than xlnet (for our rather specific use cases).
omg they think we're hip
Yeah I agree. Deep learning mostly eliminates feature engineering which is a huge win. However BERT and other transformer models take too damn long to train. I still prefer using FastText for transfer learning because it can be trained on large corpora quickly. Combine that with supervised deep learning, and you often get good enough accuracy in practice.
WEBM/WMI/CIM[0] exist already.

I'd like something that integrates canned DTrace/eBPF scripts, along with authorization (some canned scripts might leak sensitive data). Really, a bit of an idempotent, extensible, remote OS observability protocol.

Granted, Oracle does contribute lots of code. As the result, lots of Oracle-created code gets backported too. That said, I see people backport a lot of code/tests that they wrote themselves, and/or with the help of non-Oracle contributors. For example, Red Hat, SAP, Huawei backport a lot of code to maintain the target platforms they own (e.g. AArch64 and PPC), or their components (e.g. diagnostics support, Shenandoah), or their build environments. While I understand the desire to pitch Oracle here, it would be awkward to do so by undervaluing the contributions of others at the same time.
I'm not who you are responding to, but the gender skew is massive. This [1] is just someone on his subreddit doing their own calculations, but the sample size is 1128 men to 68 women. More recently it's like 10 to 1 [2].

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. One the one hand it's a podcast targeted toward men, which I'm fine with. On the other hand, his whole thing is about open-mindedness so it doesn't seem quite right for him to almost exclusively hear the views of men on his show. I also wonder if he has a harder time getting women to feature because of the demographics of his audience.

I have no idea what the demographic breakdown looks like along other axes as I couldn't find much info.

>Sure. Then it becomes a question of who gets the stuff. A situation where you import 50 million people's worth of food, let 10 million waste 20 million's worth of it, and let another 10 million go hungry: is that moral or sustainable?

But you will always have food waste regardless what system you have. That's something already considered in calculations for how much food a person would need. Not doing so would be foolish, because it's irrelevant what system you have - food will still be wasted.

>Eisenhower's quote.

Eisenhower's quote is interesting, but it leaves out comparative advantage. In this case, money indeed is not the whole story. Somebody that's good at making weapons could very well be rubbish at producing food.

There's also the fact that you need to be able to defend yourself and your interests. It doesn't matter how much food you produce if somebody else just takes it from you. The modern world relies heavily on trade, but this trade requires that there is some military might on most countries. Otherwise they'll just be taken advantage of.

Edit: as others mentioned it could factor in people flagging the post, comment to upvotes ratio, etc

Fella from Kazakhstan is here, the thing is that state government claims that they had finished certificate testing and provided instructions how to remove it from the devices two weeks ago (http://knb.gov.kz/ru/news/v-otnoshenii-sertifikata-bezopasno...).

I never installed that certificate and had to use VPN during this time. Still some of the people have connection issues with certain sites like facebook, gmail, etc.

Some of the companies had sued government and mobile carriers for that connection issues.

In my opinion Mozilla and Google made a right decision, there is a lot of talks of how good is Kazakhstan now for doing business, the taxes are low, it's easy to get a visas for foreigner employees, and by doing this they are losing trust to themselves.

I don't think they will manage to make a fork of some of the browsers, simply because level of the our software production is kinda low, especially in goverment sector, and people will definitely not use the browser if they will attempt to make one, they will manage to use VPN and will find other ways to just use the "normal" software.
Yep, after reading the post I'm not any less impressed by (or interested in) Rust. If the post's claim were "Wait until Rust changes more slowly before investing more heavily in it," I might be able to agree.

For a project like notqmail, I would worry about portability. qmail runs on a lot of platforms and getting Rust bootstrapped is a bear.
Chrome isn't preventing the certificate from being installed, they just added it to a CRLSet, so it'll be treated as revoked even if it is manually installed. Firefox is doing basically the same thing I think, probably adding the cert to OneCRL.
From interviews with women employed at Atari: https://kotaku.com/sex-pong-and-pioneers-what-atari-was-real...

> Many interviewees said it was the best job they ever had, adding that news of Bushnell’s rescinded award struck them as shocking or unfair.

> “It’s drive-by assassination,” said Loni Reeder, who worked at Atari for two years and, later, co-founded a company with Bushnell. “I think there’s an element of telephone being played. Every day was not a wet t-shirt contest.” Reeder added, “There’s a collective anger amongst us toward the individuals who made this a big deal.”

> And 26 years after she first walked onto that Pong assembly line, Elaine Shirley took another job, one where her new boss often lost his temper and yelled. She tried to quit in her first meeting with him. “I told him, I came from a company where everyone was nice, not mean,” she said. About a quarter of the women I interviewed said that they can claim #MeToo, but that their time at Atari had nothing to do with it.

> Mireille Chevalier said she happily attended Atari’s hot tub parties and went on dates with colleagues. “Nolan was never, ever bothering me,” she said. “If a woman wanted to go out with Nolan, it was their business. It was never pressure. I went out with one of the directors for 10 years.” “Where are you going to meet a man when you’re young?” Chevalier said. “We didn’t have the internet. We used to meet our boyfriends at work.”

Those criticizing Atari and Bushnell do so from a position 40 years removed, and through the lens of secondhand accounts. The people who worked with him firsthand paint a very different picture.

>Except Rogan isn't necessarily even good at that.

That's a subjective assessment. I think Rogan is very good actually, and there was circumstances when he skewered the interviewee by simply asking them to clarify their position. The recent example of this was his interview with Bari Weiss, who had the self-inflicted misfortune to simply assert that Tulsi Gabbard is an "Assad Toadie" and Joe Rogan, politely, asked her to clarify - and Bari fell over herself and couldn't even define what 'toadie' meant in context. I've never seen that kind of politie (and unintended) evisceration on network TV.

>All you'll really learn about are the talking points they want to present to the world.

It's actually quite hard to delegate to talking points in a 3 hour freeform conversation. I would argue that the alternative, the 60 Minutes-style interview format which wholly consists of talking points and sharp edits to fit a narrative. Those kinds of interviews are much more prone to simply generic speech as the interviewee tries as hard as they can to be uncontroversial because they know the interviewer is actively trying to catch them buggle some phrase, and then push this sound bite in every preview of the interview.

>Without pushing them on some issues or asking them to argue or defend those points it's impossible to understand how they actually think about the issues.

That's what makes him great. He's humble about his level of knowledge. He knows he's ignorant about many things. Referencing the Bari Weiss interview, how many interviewers would ever admit to not understanding a word or a concept and genuinely asking for a definition. This is in sharp contrast to "mainstream" interviewers pretending they are experts, when it is painfully obvious they are not.

>Or as someone else in this thread put it, if you're not pushing back at any point then it's just an infomercial.

You say that and maybe it feels that this should be true, but if you actually listen to his interviews, it just doesn't come of as an infomercial. I keep going back to contrasting mainstream interviews which in fact, do come off fake, wooden and infomercial-like.

Panspermia is such a plausible theory. We know that life spreads like crazy if you let it -- try to keep something sterile and life always finds a way in, even into our sealed jars and cans, volcanoes, the bottom of the ocean, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if one day we find that Mars is teeming with bacteria that hitched a ride on one of our rovers and adapted.
The people most impacted by any price change of any product anywhere are the ones the least able to afford the thing whose price is changing. It’s a cute tautological sound bite that is meaningless without numbers to realize the impact.

There is a real cost to the environment, communities, and people’s health that is completely externalized and unaccounted for by the fossil fuel lobby. It’s a real cost that will eventually be paid by taxes and lives, not a manipulation. Ignoring that cost in the price of oil is the opposite of market-driven.

Reading this gives a very hopeful tone to a pretty hopeless situation.

Visiting the USS Pampanito in SF recently, I read a plaque that said, while the US submarine force in WWII formed only 1.5% of the Naval force, it was responsible for something like 55% of confirmed kills of Japanese shipping. The tradeoff was that the submarine force suffered about a 30% loss rate.

the reason why you have to stop this kind of thing is because the people who are responsible are the same people behind the destruction of unions, public transportation, universal healthcare, etc. they think they are outsmarting us by getting away with crimes and stealing from us.
