> Last I checked, Great Firewall DPI takes around 100ms

How do you check that? The DPI works mostly in async way, mirror traffic to standalone servers to extract key data points, if found a match, send RST to drop the TCP stream and maybe further blacklist the IP indefinitely.

Is there a new mechanism that requires synchronised data stream check? Making a DPI on backbone internet with <100ms latency would be extremely impressive achievement.

I use Genius Scan on my iPhone to scan documents that I need to archive (I think it's also available for Android).

In addition to automatic cropping it fixes any distortions so the documents look as if they had been scanned with a flatbed scanner. It works really well for my purpose.

How often are people taking a microSD card from their camera and putting it in their phone considering on a lot of devices this means pulling the battery out.

There's much in this thread about the helmet absorbing the energy of the impact, but that's far from the whole benefit of wearing one.

The helmet, by conforming to the shape of your head, distributes the energy from the point of impact to a much larger area. So instead of having your head cracked open at the point it hits the tarmac, or pierced by a pointy rock, the force will be evenly distributed across your head.

The helmet also has a low-friction shell that will slide across a surface, which helps avoid head rotation, snapping your neck or getting whiplash, and will protect you from cuts and abrasions.

I've been saved by my helmet many times.
Obama's election was sold as a positive milestone for race relations. Once he was president he devoted almost no time at all to race relations, and conditions for many PoC actually deteriorated, because he discarded his popular base instead of creating an integrated social movement.

(Ironically - if that's the word - Trump has been far better at creating the latter than Obama was.)

A lot of people actually believed the Hope and Change slogans. But it turned out there was no real cause for hope, and very little significant change.

And that's marketing for you - illusion over substance.

Why does it have to be only one ancestor ape, and not several that evolved human-like features simultaneously in the same environment?

We have Neanderthal DNA, that we inherited through interbreeding.

Why can't both we and the Neanderthals be descendent from a varied group of very similar apes that interbred as well? Isn't this the most likely scenario?

Sometimes I think scientists fall for the same simplistic patterns of thinking that the men on the street fall for every day.

Like, there is only one solution, there is only one cause, there is only one reason, when in fact reality is much more complex than that.
In the U.S., phone providers are protected by the government. You can't compete with them. The government has basically granted them fiefs.

I feel like cars are great. I don't know where the complaint is there. There is an enormous amount of variety in cars. It's really amazing. Definitely a triumph of capitalism.

I also don't really have a problem with banks. There seems to be plenty of options. People mostly just complain about Wells Fargo. It's easy to switch.

Every truly hated industry is shitty because they are a government fief and nobody can compete with them. In other words, regulatory capture/regulatory ownership. Besides phone providers, the one that comes to mind for me in the U.S. is healthcare. Also, TV providers (AT&T/Comcast)---absolutely government fiefdoms. You can't legally compete with them.

If you find an unregulated industry, people don't buy shit. There is competition and people buy good stuff. Clothing, for instance. And almost all consumer goods. Think about all the amazing gadgets and appliances that are available. Computer hardware (e.g. laptops, desktops).
You can argue that about any limited resource for which firms are in competition, like land.

Unlike most resources though, Google ads take into account a quality score, so if one of those merchants is lower quality than the rest e.g. users go back from the store to keep searching more often, then they'll have to pay more and all other things being equal, the more useful merchants will outcompete them.

In practice AdWords does enable many businesses that would otherwise find it too hard to reach a niche audience, and wouldn't be able to rank organically for a keyword because they have no inbound links.
Would you have put yourself in the same situation if you didn’t have all that protective gear on?

iirc this is one of the theories about injury being higher in American Football vs. Rugby, the increased safety equipment leads to a cycle of increased hitting force which leads to increased equipment, etc.

I don't know anything about Rust, but a nicer word is probably "intrinsics". They usually compile to a single instruction.
The impression I got from a recent PBS Eons video on the non-existing missing link[0] is that interbreeding happened all the time and that a very realistic possibility for the answer is "most, possibly all of them".

I don't agree with your breakthrough. Reverse mode automatic différenciation is really very simple and is not at all what got us there.

It's finding the right architectures that capture data priors and symmetries, and that can learn efficiently with stochastic gradient descent.
Automatic differentiation is just a useful tool to use with those ideas.
>Eg Holland has a number of cheap shoe chains. Schoenenreus and Scapino both breathe an air of cheapness, and one went bust and the other is struggling bad. Their direct competitor Van Haren sells exactly equally crappy shoes, and everybody knows it, but they are thriving, simply because the store feels like a proper high quality shoe store.

Same in the US with Target and Walmart. They sell exactly the same discounted products, in giant stores that carry everything, to exactly the same customers, but Target has cultural cachet (both embodied and mocked as "Tar-jay"), while Walmart and its customers are mocked (if you're nice) and denounced (if you're not) incessantly. Somehow, the giant retail chain corporation based in Arkansas is seen as the embodiment of all that is evil with American business—to the point where San Francisco and New York City don't allow any within their borders—while the giant retail chain corporation based in Minnesota is seen as (relatively) hip and culturally/political acceptable enough to have outlets in the downtowns of said cities.

They're required to do what they promised to do in your Deposit Account Agreement and/or are required to do by state law. In some states if you take no action to recover it they will be required to "escheat" the money to the safekeeping of the state treasurer to await your eventual claim for it.

use_int(n) # MYPY complaints here because n could be None
if n is not None:
use_int(n) #MYPY allows this because it understood it cannot be None

2) TypeDict work fine, do you have an example of waht does not work
3) Of course, JS is different from Python, "keyof" doesn't make any sense in Python because Python uses class where JS uses dicts
4) Of course there is:

print(v)

accept_values("foo")
accept_values("bar")
accept_values(3)
accept_values("wrong") # MYPY complains
accept_values(5) # MYPY complains
Why would that unfair to the American taxpayer? Making sure a war you want doesn't happen saves those taxpayers' lives (and money).

And in the Nato and Japanese case the "bribe" is paid in kind: you get what you are asking for (the US builds up its military and provides a security guarantee; those countries don't have to waste money on military expenditures and in exchange get a higher standard of living than the US). I suppose that's peace through strength.

> Second, how are we ever going to compete when we keep sending them the designs for our latest gadgets?

Sounds like the arguments against free software (AKA Open Source) I heard in the 80s and 90s.

The American worker isn't going to build these low margin products anyway; the design is where all the margin is.
Google is a brand. If that brand was held in the low regard it deserves the problem would work itself out. People would still work there, but they would be embarrassed about it.

Yes, I seem to recall getting 333 1/3 milliliters, which is usually rounded as 330ml in most contexts.

There is a study which found spike at filing divorces at February; https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/08/why-divor...

From this with MFD values it is (not) sensible to say these people want a divorce and seriously don't want to keep the ring and disappointed at the prices they got.

Then there is this (probably doesn't really warrant being called a) study put marriage spikes to October, September and June; https://www.theknot.com/content/is-there-an-off-season-for-w...

From this it is (an even shakier prediction) to say these were asked to (or tasked with) buy a diamond ring, vehemently opposed it and wants rest of the world how to avoid it.

There is no real evidence that computers can be programmed to intelligently invent and act on their own thought processes. All notable AI techniques to date specify in exhausting detail the thought processes that the AI should execute in carefully constructed algorithms. We're getting closer to the point where we can tell the computer to "think and act like a human" and in more and more domains it succeeds. But we're as far as ever from "think for yourself".
They do not. I've heard their recommended advice if this is a problem is to fork out and purchase yet another laptop at your own cost, and return it within the return window.
I think the car industry is a racket because they frequently have lots of recalls that affect safety, but they often don't admit it freely. (like the Takata airbag incident) Same for requiring car dealerships, and negotiated pricing. Getting a car serviced for a recall then having to wait for months, possibly while not being able to drive your car can be a real problem.

Utilities like cable / internet aren't really protected by the government, in that there is supposed to be competition, but the companies rarely want to compete, so they tend to service different areas.

A lot of banks do a lot of the shady tactics that Wells Fargo does, like ordering deposits and withdrawals just to make sure you get hit with the maximum amount of overdraft fees.

I totally agree with you on healthcare. That is one of the biggest rackets in the US where price fixing is rampant, and price discovery is purposefully non-existent.

Oh, and just to throw one more in, the airlines!

> Every truly hated industry is shitty because they are a government fief and nobody can compete with them.

If you're a monopoly and the government doesn't step in, they are basically granting you a fief over that area.
In Australia, all of those could be simply done with an online bank transfer instead of a cheque.

Functionally it's the same thing, except that instead of writing on a piece of paper that you're giving the bank authority to withdraw your funds, you're doing it online. It takes less time, it's more reliable, and you get even better record keeping, as you can enter notes when you make the transfer.

Facebook is also a great example. That shit is so absolutely awful, and it's destroying people psychologically. People will eventually learn and get out of it. We will find a healthier alternative and adopt it organically.

But chances are the government will force Facebook to be just slightly less destructive, so that people never abandon it en mass, and never find a healthier alternative.

Facebook will kill itself if left to its own design. They are clearly committed to that path.

As to why: the costs of the MS browser monopoly didn't hit either MS or the user, it accrued at website developers and MS's competitors. They had to jump through burning hoops to make their sites work both in IE and any other browser.

In fact, the easiest and cheapest way to develop a site was to go with MS's proprietary tech and essentially lock out Firefox, or any Linux (or Mac) browser. Opportunity costs were minimal as Windows enjoyed a >90% market share.

At the time the hammer came down on MS, things had in fact improved a bit due to web 2.0 and other browsers (ie. Firefox) leapfrogging MS. But it is extremely dishonest to claim the ruling somehow prevented OSS to gain market share, that flies right into the face of facts.

Agreed, I state this as you need at least:

1. Agenda
2. Expected outcomes

Agenda forces the host/chair to consider how many items are going to be discussed, how long each might take and most importantly scopes the meeting allowing the host/chair to keep things on-topic. If you're organising an important meeting with lots of topics to discuss, but only have 30 mins scheduled due to "scheduling issues", you're doing it wrong.

The expected outcomes ensures that everyone knows up front what is expected to be the output of the meeting. Is a decision is to be made? Are we just looking to gather input?

This helps ensure that the right people are in the room. No-one should be able to say "I'd like to say yes, but Bob is out and I can't say yes without Bob's say-so." It also helps with a focus for the ending of the meeting.
