Where do you usually look for his smile? In footage of high-pressure media interviews and public debates? In the photos carefully selected by the editors of whichever news sites you browse?

Could be he just likes meeting fans, and is amused by a goofy cartoon frog. See also: Hong Kong protestors’ use of Pepe, and prevalence of the meme among less politically-afflicted but still sad and disaffected young men on the Internet. Also mainstream on Twitch.

Sorry, this is nothing more than a shake down. There is no demonstrative connection between prescription use of opioids and non medical use. prescription use has come down only to see abuse go up.

since it has become so much more difficult to divert prescriptions those seeking them have resorted to fentanyl and heroin which is not the fault of J&J or any other company.

The real cause it the drug war that too many nations practice. this has led the over dose issues we have seen. it is not legal sellers of drugs or their advertising. quit buying into this sham sold by politicians and the media, the reason it exist is to simply redirect blame and shake down the companies by relying on ignorance

I would think that setting a fast increasing tax (say doubling each year) on patents would solve lots of issues. Once you do not want to pay the tax, the patent moves to public domain. Same tax should apply also to copyrighted work.
I actually followed Camille Paglia from her time as salon columnist and found her really annoying. First of all for someone being celebrated for being provocative she is depressingly mainstream. Her views are generally center-right. She supports and repeats whatever views and opinions corporate america chooses to foist on us, supports the military industrial complex and is guaranteed to go gaga over every female celebrity sex symbol the mainstream media chooses to trot out for our adulation.

But she does everything in such complicated convoluted language (liberally throwing in a lot of intellectual talk about sex in there) that she makes herself sound brilliant, radical and revolutionary for dumbly and unquestioningly following the same corporate mainstream.

It is really a shame because not all social science is bullshit. There really was great social science and literally theory being done challenging the status quo and looking for ways to make societies better but people like paglia merely just take the air out of the conversation, by taking up attention “being provocative” while not saying much.
> It's hard to imagine but the patent system was actually designed to encourage growth, not slow it.

And that was done by people completely oblivious to how real world economics work, and reinforced in that delusion by later generations of not much smarter statesmen.

It is not humanly possible to imagine how economic growth and efficiency is encouraged by intentional introduction of economic inefficiency through imposition of artificial scarcity (which is what patents are, literally a license on economic inefficiency)

Benjamin is a fascinating figure in the history of philosophy. He had a lot of interesting things to say about fascism and history. Probably the most vivid expression of his understanding of history can be found in his 9th thesis on history [1]

>"A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such a violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."

Completely left Windows 10 (after several parallel years with Linux based systems such as openSuse/Ubuntu) for macOS.

I get a workstation that has sensible defaults and gets out of my way 99.999% of the time. I get why others prefer Linux systems in development but within my ecosystem I am simply happy I don't have to configure my fan speed and install fourth party drivers to get WLAN to connect after the machine sleeps.

The only things that Windows really excels in are gaming and office. Open source office suites are simply many levels below MS Office, and no I won't use LaTex at work although writing my thesis with it was indeed amazing. The macOS office variants (by Microsoft) are also severely lacking in comparison...

Unfortunately the author appears to have both a problem with react and a problem with men and appears to struggle to separate those two concerns, and this blog post is worse off for it.

On the topic of react, it took off precisely because it performed so much better than what was hot at the time (angular, now known as angularjs; jquery), and that includes on older devices.

Unfortunately that performance came at a price of a complex "developer story" which later improvements such as flux (and then to a better degree, redux) helped mitigate. Eventually enough improvements to the developer flow have landed the ecosystem back at "performance can suck sometimes".

A global immutable state isn't going to be the best for razor sharp performance, but it's easy to reason about, so provides a way to deliver reliable applications with mixed ability teams.

The alternative is having to reason about state at all kinds of levels which can be far more performant but will likely end up with more bugs.

That said, the later part of the article starts projecting a lot of bad things on React which it isn't to blame for. The commodification of the web has react to blame? It's an assertion with no evidence.

No, I don't see it. I'm utterly annoyed with Windows 10 even after declining any and every ridiculous request from Microsoft. It has nothing to do with 'training users to read' that the start menu is terrible or the new control panel is an abomination. And their asking for permission to track you has nothing to do with want to train users. They just want to track you. And even if you decline everything, there's plenty of telemetry that isn't disabled.
How is this any different from taxis, truckers, etc.?
Empirically, it boils down permittivity and conductance of the material. I am not familiar with the physical factors that influence that. For real applications there are other important factors too though. If your substrate gets moldy in a week then it would be hard to package and sell it to a customer.
> For comparison I once rode in a prius with 400k miles, and it had had the engine replaced multiple times.

That's odd, and definitely not normal.

Firstly, the Prius was the least expensive model maintenance-wise in the link above.

Secondly, I have heard from multiple people that the Prius engine just keeps running because it doesn't get the same loads as a normal car (makes sense).

Finally, taxi drivers drive reliable vehicles that are cheap to maintain, and the Prius is the car of choice for taxi drivers where I am (and here that's categorically not a side-effect of other financial incentives).

How do you store your ML datasets?
How do you store you ML datasets? I'm looking for something like an artifactory but optimized for ML datasets, where I can:

1) store sparse matrices (labels + features + comments) in an efficient way

2) push/pull a dataset quickly from a language or using a cli

3) (bonus) visualize the distribution of a particular feature and it's correlation with the label

My point being that the price is far lower than what you'd pay in a store. Still no excuse for all the ads and tracking, but if you're going to impale Microsoft, at least be honest about what the context is. Their behaviour is abhorrent enough that you don't need to make shit up.
> I’ll be really happy and relaxed if my car can mostly (70-80%) drive it self to daily commute or next trip to LA;

There's a caveat here that this 70-80% must be contiguous and the car must be superhuman-level reliable in that segment. Otherwise, the "additional pair of eyes and hands" significantly increase the danger. If your car suddenly decides that it can't handle something and asks you to take over in the last second, you won't be able to handle it either.

It is pretty unlikely that a company (Google) would break a contract with another relatively large organisation (Mozilla). Yes, Google vacuum up all your data and do shady stuff with it, but only because all of it is legal.

Plus, the amount of data that they get from Mozilla must be tiny compared to the amount of data that they collect through their search engine: it's only data on mozilla.org, not data of everyone that uses the browser at all times. It is not wise to risk a lawsuit over it.

> I wonder why. Implementing some basic analytics on a few pages shouldn't be that hard.

Maybe defining a contract to prevent use of Mozilla data without loopholes is harder.
> Opiates are a legal, and medically necessary

This is finally being questioned by studies. Multiple studies have recently come out that show non-opioid pain killers are as effective and sometimes more effective than opioids in both chronic and acute pain. Now, I don't think opioids need to be made illegal because they do have their uses, but they are clearly over-prescribed when more conservative options may work.

The word "popular" can mean widely used or widely liked. I think popular in the case of javascript is more the former but people often imply the latter. By usage, death and taxes are popular too!
Even if you ARE tinkering with .NET stuff. I work for a .NET shop on my MBP and the only things I remote into my Windows workstation for are some of the old .NET Framework projects we have that I still need to touch periodically and generating dacpac files from data projects (which is being worked on macOS so I'm really looking forward to that day). Many things (Docker is a huge example) just work better on macOS, and overall I find myself more productive. I feel that macOS is just a more "terminal-first" environment than Windows, and I'm more at home there. It's a shame.

I actually don't hate Windows, I used it for decades and still switch over to it as needed. But I really love macOS. I just wish they'd fix some of their hardware lately.

None of those produce anything, they are entirely dependent on actual production.

GDP per capita is just the GDP divided by population, and GDP itself is not necessarily about production at all.

It does require AGI, at least if you're planning to drive on most of the world's roads, and not only on some "pampered" streets in the middle of the desert or on heavily-regulated and very well maintained streets like in Norway or Switzerland.

As a human a I have a quite "accurate 3d representation of the world" but even so, many times I'm left dumb-founded by what the people driving on the same streets as me are doing. And even if you do manage to replace all those other people with self-driven cars, how do you account of cows ending up in the middle of an interstate road (it happened to me at least once), with wrong street markings or no street markings at all or with drunken bicyclists whom you can't see at night?

Honestly, I'm talking about Toronto, where similar attempts to keep our taxes low "for the poor widow in her house she raised her five children in" has resulted in an inability to properly fund our transit system.

Javascript is fine. It has first-class functions, a minimal but functional metaobject protocol, lambdas, etc. It is also fast and has familiar syntax to work with.
