You mentioned the wealthiest 0.000001% of open source projects in a discussion about how the other 99.999999% need funding as some kind of proof FAANG are pulling their weight. Just their cash savings weigh about 2,500 tonnes so they're obviously not pulling their weight at all.

The so-what is software development evolution comes to a grinding halt while we wait for third-world and developing countries to hit the sweet spot where people can afford to pursue their art and afford the tools and connectivity it requires and afford the many years of learning to understand the steps between hello world and inventing kubernetes. Google didn't even invent kubernetes as much as they extrapolated to it from experience and open source.
This paradox of choice largely doesn't exist in the US either. The majority of people in both countries didn't graduate college. For almost everyone, the elite universities aren't even on the radar (much less the elite employers like FANG into which those universities feed). This upper middle class striverism is over-reported in the media, but is irrelevant to the vast majority of Americans.

My wife went to high school in rural Iowa. Everyone went to the local high school, and then the smart kids went to U of Iowa, the next tranche went to Iowa State, etc. Her parents were "rich" (her step-dad is a surgeon) but there wasn't much in the way to distinguish them from everyone else. Other “rich” families owned farms, a couple of stores in town, etc. She did FFA (Future Farmers of America) and worked her way through college babysitting. (Tuition at U of I is $8,500 today, about the same as University of Toronto or McGill.)

I should add, in Iowa under 10% of people are below the poverty line, about the same as Canada, infant mortality rate is about the same as Canada, the homelessness rate is 1/10 what it is in Canada, 94% of the population is covered by health insurance, etc. I just got back from Des Moines. Talk about a prosperous, broadly middle class society. The child poverty rate in Des Moines is 14% versus 25% for Toronto. There are no FANG jobs, but millennials with completely normal colleges-graduate jobs own houses. If you want to know why many Americans don’t view their country as a loaf-apocalyptic wasteland, it’s because they don’t live in New York or San Francisco.
They exploited bugs in Safari.
Wait, so Google once again proves how much they suck at customer service, and the conclusion is to be wary of Apple Card? That seems like a stretch.
Aside from the absolute need to make sure you sign out of iMessage on your iPhone before you get rid of the device (so your friends still using iMessage will still be able to reach you using SMS), what is it about the Apple ecosystem that would lock you in that wouldn't be solved by using the iOS version of Google Drive to back up the iPhone before you sell it?

But don't let browsers pretend to be neutral runtimes for the terrible third party scripts on which surveillance advertising depends. They are not neutral. The big-4 browsers in the west apart from Apple are partly or fully captured by $100B ad businesses.

We are all in a weird space. Best to fight back at the endpoint with the right browser. Could be Safari, Firefox, or Chrome with opt outs and uBO and other defenses (but risks remain in Chrome especially), if you are not game for Brave.
Prices will still rise if demand is increasing faster than supply. If supply remained constant, the prices would rise even faster.

I'm currently evaluating this space for a mixed-use 100 employee company. We're an e-commerce company who deals with B2C customer service, B2C/B2B inside sales, and C2B where we purchase from the customer.

We currently have a cloud-based PBX system that is okay-ish. No onsite hardware outside of Polycom phones. But, it's not very flexible. Our sales and service teams could benefit greatly from having access to customer data before picking up the call. Easier api-based access to call logs and recordings would be amazing as well. Tighter integration with other messaging channels would be great as well.

Where I'm lost is making the leap from our traditional phone system to something better. Twilio Flex looks great, but I'm not sure if it's overkill. I admittedly haven't taken the time to understand the entire stack (SIP, softswitches, IP-PBX, etc..). Perhaps I'm missing something, but it feels like there's a gap in the market between the a la carte Twilio services and a traditional PBX.
That, or they don't care. Or they don't care enough.
Maybe it's a generational thing. Nobody I know even uses snapchat any more. I had it for a while, but it felt like a fad. Slack and Discord (which are basically just nicer IRC) are the primary methods of communication for both professional and casual conversations in my social sphere.

I've worked remote for years, and never wanted anything more than a basic "do not disturb" status. The creator says they're doing this to address loneliness, but some of us don't have a problem with addressing loneliness via text (or we get enough socializing in outside of work to be content). For people like me, this type of tool just creates extra mental overhead and distractions. I get that some people are into this because it's neat tech, but I'm really not convinced that it's a real value-add rather than a fad.
US / FAA airlines, particularly on a per passenger mile flown basis (which for US carriers is a huge number) are incredibly safe - both against other modes of transit and same mode in a number of other countries.

I won't get into all the reasons - many understandable, many addressable. But one small point - it generally takes a chain of issues (from design to maintenance to PIC) to result in an fatality these days.

Paying fines is not jail time. The big white collar criminals never seem to actually do jail time. Many don't even pay back their bonuses or sell their second homes. A guy selling MJ can get jail time and someone killing 10K people get's a vacation home in the bahamas.
I'm not an expert in ML. However, with what little I do know, I wonder how well "training" a neural network really mimics the brain.

Our brains grow as we mature and along the way reinforce pathways as we internalize information. Our interpretation of the world is internal and unique to our individual consciousness.

The part that is "trained" is how we relate that information externally to our environment and other entities.

A child says "Da da" because it learns that sound elicits a reaction. The internal representation of its father is not trained. It is where the neurons grew and reinforced.

Maybe poorly communicated on my part to people who know much more about it than me. Tl;dr: maybe focus less on perfecting the training of recognition and more on the training of mapping the external to what was naturally recognized where the neurons fell.

Can Middle School Students do Hackathon even AI theme? - Blast
Sometimes status quo is an excuse that is waiting to be disrupted. We just launched super successful middle school AI theme RC car hackathon and the result shows clearly it was right thing and hackathon is not only for highschool and beyond years! This middle school coding club hosted it and we helped them with curriculum and running the event. Since it was for middle school students, we combined hardware (RC car aka "donkey" car with raspberry pi built on it) with software (tensorflow so students can control their RC cars with their body gestures after programming it first). Lots of key learnings came out but the biggest was the lowering AI experience to younger age groups (6th graders and above). Mainly we want to instill them that AI is not to just automate things but to empower them to learn and build and apply...Go Comical Coders Coding Club who made this incredible feat!!!https://www.comicalcoders.com/hackathon.html, more pictures of this awesome hackathon:https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6571896220334256128/

...system libraries contain identifying information? Is this some alternate usage of the word "system library" I wasn't previously aware of? I'm assuming, and haven't read anything to the contrary, that these are just dynamically linked code libraries what have been a pretty big part of how OSs work for decades.

Therefore, I can only conclude that the identifying information is which precises system libraries are installed on any given machine. Any solution to this problem other than "have fewer system libraries and don't change them as often" is adding far more complexity to computing than it will ever be worth, and computing already has enough of such "for the security gods!" solutions.
I know about ART. I actually have some contributions to the STM32F4 reference manual as my team had access to pre production silicon. There's bugs in the prefetching on that thing on early revs and you need to flip a chicken bit.

I still don't see anything in there that's not the usual way flash is accessed in cases where it's mapped into the address space for XIP applications. Hell, a lot of the time people will stick something nicer than a dog simple direct mapped cache like ST's implementation.

Why the war on virtual cards?

My bank lets me create infinite "throwaway" credit cards that work for a single payment or up to a certain expiry date. They're great for never having to expose your real card number and keeping track of maximum spend. Are these classified as virtual cards? I use them all the time for Facebook ads and was planning to set up a AdWords campaign too, but now I'm worried
I came here to say this ⬆ Glad someone else did it for me, better than I could have.
They also write:
"Conclusion: The release of 13 Reasons Why was associated with a significant increase in
monthly suicide rates among U.S. youth aged 10 to 17 years. Caution regarding the exposure of
children and adolescents to the series is warranted."

The could have written the exact opposite since the release also is associated (according to the authors) with a CI [downwards going to less increasing] trend in suicide rates.

April 2015 was also a spike April. And the March to April step in suicides 2017 when the series was released is not bigger than many other steps.

I would say there has to be more to it than what the authors provide to claim something is associated with an increase. Actually, all events that has happened since the beginning of the data series could be associated with a "significant increase monthly suicide rates among U.S. youth aged 10 to 17 years" since the long trend is in that direction.
I understand that. My point is that "if needed" is a pretty squishy phrase, and if you asked different groups of US citizens what that entails you'd get wildly divergent results. For example, I would say if we keep going along our path of putting people in camps, that is worthy of rising up — but there are other people who think that's a good thing and we should keep going.

There are also certain demographics that are much likelier to own guns, so "is armed revolution necessary" is really more a question of "is this particular group of people unhappy".
The so-called 'neural networks' have nothing to do with the brain. They're only called that as a branding exercise. Because math is scary and boring, biology and brains are warm and fuzzy.
My issue is that it seems that this "modern stoicism" always seems to be coupled with another toxic ideology. At least from what I've seen online.
> All I can say is that it's likely that he was either using a virtual card or his identity was tied to a previously suspended account.

> After doing a bit of research, I discovered that the number that is generated in the wallet app (the only way you can get your card number for the Apple Card) is, infact, a virtual card.

This seems like the likely cause.

The author offers it as a warning against using Apple Card.

I read it as confirmation that Google would do well to focus on customer service for once.
Way back in ancient times, employees formed unions to demand better working conditions instead of waiting for a company to benevolently provide them. Replacing burnt out employees and writing good PR articles is cheaper and easier than fixing the many systemic issues that lead to it. They might get better productivity out of non-burnt workers, but companies are afraid to invest in employees that could leave any time for better opportunities. For better or worse, this is the situation that is incentivized by at-will employment and other factors.
This whole practice reeks of being downright fraudulent. Especially with a new technology like Apple Card, which folks will understandably not have a strong familiarity with. I get that Google needs to combat fraud and all that, but they should at least inform the customer of why such a drastic action (a permanent ban! !!) was taken with almost no warning.

Really, any respectable company in this situation would simply flag the account for a billing problem, deny the card, and let the customer try again. At which point, any legitimate customer will go, "Oh, guess they don't take Apple Card" and use something else. It's the same effect (account can't be used, "fraud" with the Apple Card if it exists is dodged) but is not nearly so user hostile as this... mess.

Google's opacity here seems like it could only really have one benefit to the company: They can shut down any account they don't like, and since they're always vague with the reasoning, they don't necessarily have to have a valid reason. Their whole "you know what you did" approach is just uncertain enough to cause the victim to doubt themselves and be unlikely to mount a defense. I don't know what their actual motivations are (I know it's popular to hate on Google, but I have a hard time believing they're pulling stunts like this on purpose) but it looks bad no matter how you slice it.
You should be _extremely_ skeptical of this finding.

1. It's an observational, retrospective study.

2. The control analysis is dubious, and its unclear if the control analysis was selected in advance.

2. It's an astonishingly high effect size.

3. They do numerous sub-group analyses without any indication that such analyses were pre-registered, and apparently without doing any multiple-comparisons corrections (e.g. bonferroni).

3. From the article: "The observed suicide rate for March 2017 — the month prior to the release of “13 Reasons Why” — was also higher than forecast. The researchers note that the show was highly promoted during the month of March, exposing audiences to the show’s premise and content through trailers. The researchers did not find any significant trends in suicide rates in people 18- to 64 years of age."

We're being asked to believe not only that the show itself can have this huge effect, but that the trailer can too. But only among males in a certain age group.

This stinks.
Daydreaming, imagining myself in better positions and even planning goals to get there, but never actually starting
Unless you can show a country's (i.e. Australia's) suicide rate plummeting shortly after banning guns, I'm going to have a hard time believing it has a big an impact as you claim. There are lots of first world countries in EU and Asia where guns are banned that have suicide rates comparible to or higher than the US's (and I have a hard time believing guns are the only thing standing between the US being comparible to its peers and having insanely low suicide rates)

Even still, there are other ways of increasing suicide friction than outright bans. Firearm waiting periods (to prevent same-day purchase suicides) would increase friction, suicide pamphlets with every sale would increase friction, etc

What Happens When Americans Don’t Pay a Hospital Bill
If you think folks who have a record in the US (where they can enforce regulations around maintenance, training, ATC, airport design) should be in JAIL for creating a system which has an incredible safety rate among ALL modes of transit I find that disturbing. Seriously - we need MORE folks attracted to public service, not going to jail because armchair quarterbacks on the internet are upset.

The safety chain in the US has an absolutely incredible record. And there have been PLENTY of design and other failures along the way even in the US BTW
Almost all the price-market comparisons from decades ago forget utility value of monetary and the shifting of disposable income for non-essential goods and services. Houses then cost the equivalent today of perhaps $80k as well. A better comparison may be around disposable income though which at the national average household income of about $70k to be a safe $15k, so cars should be about $20k. Except new car sale prices nowadays are about $30k and yet we know that most people making $70k for a family of four probably aren’t going around getting a new car.

Elizabeth Warren’s paper from a decade or two ago did a fair job doing some pricing comparisons of the day to turn of the century American household microeconomics and demonstrated the primary change in the past 100 years was the additional cost of a second bathroom.
Yeah, I wondered about that too. I remember older, traditional window managers like TWM, FVWM, OpenBOX, etc. show this but most newer "Desktop" environment's window managers like XFCE's and Gnome's do not.

Interestingly when sizing a terminal window these WM's show the size in columns and rows and when sizing a "real" window it shows the size in pixels.

Probably an option somewhere to turn it on in newer environments but it's been a while since I used anything but cwm[1] (which does show the window size on resize) so I can't be sure.

Which bank if I may ask?
> Not so, these developers chose to volunteer their time to benefit the commons, and corporations occupy the same spaces once in a while. Whether or not there are abusive companies who stake out those projects for rent-seeking, to build walled gardens of their own, looting the commons making money for themselves and giving nothing back, is really not a function of the person who did something good for everyone's benefit.

It actually is, that's my point. The developers knew there were licensing arrangements that guarded against that possibility, and they chose licenses specifically designed to allow such looting.

Reciprocity is great. But if you license your code in a way that says "Feel free to take this and make money off it and give nothing back" when there are other options, then you made that decision and there is no obvious fairness argument that somebody should be punished for doing what you granted them license to do.
Honestly I'd rather for all that communication to be handled by email and not phone calls.

College cost is only $50K a year if you choose to go to an expensive college....

https://www.valuepenguin.com/student-loans/average-cost-of-c...

Our researchers found that the average cost of college for the 2017–2018 school year was $20,770 for public schools (in-state) and $46,950 for nonprofit private schools, only including tuition, fees, and room and board. Each year, school costs have continued to increase, even accounting for inflation. We took a look at higher education data from the College Board to provide a deeper understanding of the costs and the differences between states, school types and degrees.

The majority of students pay between $6,000 and $15,000 in tuition for both public and private schools in the United States.
I learned the hard way to always have at least two ways people can buy things from you. Never bet your business on another business that uses algorithms to arbitrarily disconnect yours and algorithms to respond to customer service inquiries.
To be fair i think this is an exercize in vanity and why not say it, stupidity.

Javascript VM´s these days are fairly complex beasts with huge amount of man-hour and expertise. Also technically this would be a inferior solution as compared to what V8 did with its interpreter in Turbofan (and SpiderMonkey are doing now as presented in the article), by generating
pure assembly through the turbofan backend (the same technique used by LuaJIT before with great success).

By the way lets not forget we are talking about Mozilla here, were a couple of more misguided projects could mean the abrupt end of the organization who is suffering to keep its market share in the browser wars.

There are a couple of things that could take some advantage for being re-coded in Rust, but modern super-powered javascript VM´s are hardly one of those things.

Of course, if in the sidelines someone craft a JS VM in Rust, and after IDK, 4 years, you have a mature enough JIT VM, maybe there will be a reason to move, but Mozilla itself investing its unsustainable, limited and in the brink of extinction funds on something that will require a lot of money and that in the end will get you basically the same perfomance as the old C++ jit, its a pretty bad move.
