Europe should never be united. That's a terrible idea: why would you concentrate and centralise power to such a massive extent? Power corrupts and the EU institutions are already riven with it, the last thing people in Europe need is a massive Soviet-style bureaucracy attempting to control the entire continent at once.

Small is beautiful. Let's start by restoring the primacy of the country as an organising unit. Where there are no actual disagreements in policy, they can recognise each others standards and avoid trading friction. Where disagreements over policy do occur, then deviation in those areas should have no impact on unrelated areas.

The EU has become a monster that is willing to cut ties with important European countries entirely if they refuse any aspect of its dominion. Relations with both Britain and Switzerland are on the brink, despite both countries trying hard to be best friends with their neighbours. The EU is actually imposing trade sanctions on Switzerland because of a disagreement over something related to trade union law, so I expect it to get much worse in future as the EU continues to maintain near-totalitarian "with us or against us" politics against them.

Every attempt to unite Europe under a single government has led to disaster. This time around will be no different.

I'm curious as well why you'd be using x86 processors in embedded devices. Care to share?
I have bad credit. The only time it is a problem is when renting cars,but even then they allow it after a ridiculous deposit.

This is a VERY good reason why cash or cash-like transactions are good. With China they enforced their crazy system using wepay where even street beggars now have to accept payment that way.

Ish. This move would have eventually happened even if the community had jumped on Java 9+ from day 1. Oracle is all about monetizing and reducing costs, doing that with Java was always on the cards. It just so happens that it comes at a time when there is also an upgrade issue from a technical perspective.
That’s why I mentioned class action suites. If a manufacturer did that, it would be a dream for a law firm as it would be pretty easy to show the damage of doing 5 oil changes over 150k miles as recommended (vs 15 or 30 or whatever). Of course consumers would get $5 or something small, but a law firm would get millions that would be paid by the manufacturer.

Again, hard to know. But when the manufacturers have something to lose from being wrong and random mechanic who sells oils changes doesn’t, it makes it easier to man vehicle maintenance.

By purchasing the work through Amazon's store, and clicking the "enable speech-to-text", he instructed Amazon to do it. I should mention this looks like an extremely vague distinction, and it's not even mutually exclusive. Amazon provides a service of its own volition, and he took advantage of that service.
I don't think they mean Maxwell's ones, since they can be derived from the Schrodinger equation with a well chosen Hamiltonian.

But then, the observation principle is as fundamental as Schrodinger's equation and irreversible. It's just not an equation.

> The issue with the approach used with the Q6600 was that communication across cores on separate dies was orders of magnitude slower than communication across the cores sharing a die. Is AMD's success down to recent advancements in brand prediction and core scheduling optimization?

The biggest problem with the Q6600 is that it was a big hack to communicate over the frontside bus, something designed for nice slow memory access that didn't have the bandwidth or latency for inter-core communication.

Infinity fabric, on the other hand, is good enough that on Zen 2 they didn't even bother to directly connect the two CCX that share a die.

Well, especially Taleb's claims are worth it to source check. Especially if they are these really juicy stories (like only 5 people in Europe knowing long division).

He has bit of a habit exaggerating and elaborating on stories for the sake of making tasty reading. There was a story in Black Swan about two hospitals and a simple statistical riddle that he claimed professional statisticians would get wrong. It wasn't even a trick question, most people would get it right. I found this hard to believe but I was still sort of surprised when the source spoke of a much harder statistics question that was surveyed at a psychologists convention, not statisticians. That was the first (and the last) source I checked on him. I'd have checked a few more but I don't have the book any more.

But now I guess I can add this one to the list of examples.
Um... so... you do know that blind people can't see the printed page, right? This technology opens up reading these books to them out loud. Requiring an additional license for people with a disability is pretty disgusting. Right now, I can share any books I download with my spouse, children, etc. But if one of them was blind and I wanted to share with them, suddenly I'd need a different license just for them? That doesn't seem right. The author's not going to get any additional money out of us, we'll just not read their book.

1. Any concerns about privacy? Even if Memfault is one-way (as you mentioned in a different comment), that doesn't mean that important user information is not exposed. Battery SOC and last-seen stats aren't completely harmless.

2. Maybe this will be clearer when you release docs on the SDK - do you provide interfaces for normal logging in addition to just crash logging? Ideally, firmware applications should never crash, but unexpected logic states or invalid user input happen all the time.

3. How are you expecting licensing to work? Per device? Monthly subscription fee? Flat fee software purchase?

4. Are your libraries ASIL or FDA certified to allow use in the automotive or medical industries? What are the reliability/safety implications of wrapping your main binary in Memfault's monitoring interface?
HTML was as well, before CSS became commonplace. I still reflexively do it on occasion when writing a root page (html/head/title/body tags).
Buddhism is a living tradition and always has been. Theravadins have no monopoly on "true" Buddhism - the Pali canon was transcribed hundreds of years after the death of Gautama Buddha and the authorship and authenticity of many parts of the canon remain disputed within the Theravada tradition.

Perhaps more to the point, a quotation from Nanda-manava-puccha (as translated by Thanissaro Bhikku):

"Whatever brahmans & contemplatives
describe purity
in terms of views & learning,
describe purity
in terms of precepts & practices,
describe purity
in terms of manifold ways:
none of them, living there in that way,
I tell you, have crossed over birth & aging."
I think there's a large gap between your credit history and the comments you make online. Or the comments your friends make online.

Pretty much nothing that impacts our rights impacts our credit scores. For example, freedom of speech, press, religion, gun ownership and much more do not impact your credit score.

FICO certainly correlates with some factors you may not want to be included but it seems like a pretty reasonable compromise. If I sublease my apartment to someone, shouldn't I be able to know if they actually pay their debts?

There are lots of problems around the implementation and privacy with FICO but these seem more logistical and implementation than a broken idea in general.

The Chinese social credit seems broken in general. Allowing US companies to check your instagram also feels broken but it's complicated. If you lie to an insurance company and then post that lie online (ie the adventurous sports example from the article), maybe you should face consequences.

A difficult situation is when tech monopolies ban you from using their service. For example, I believe every American should have the right to hear/read every public announcement made by the President. If you get banned from twitter, you may have your rights violated somewhat.
I meant the specifics. Where and how did they get the books in such volume. I didn't know of the arrangements with thrift stores to take huge volumes of books.

One of those "obvious in retrospect" ideas. The IoT startup I worked at probably would have used this.
It certainly is a dilemma but I feel choosing the first option is myopic (I want my customers to know "today" what this is) as opposed to long term strategy. If tofu was invented today, would we market it as soy cheese?
Interesting! I'd not seen this before. I like the idea of a central place to manage these services, because I find some of them have utterly impenetrable UIs. Good if you're using multiple services.

I work on Snapcraft. As this is an electron app, you might want to consider making a snap of it available in the Snap Store, so it's more widely discoverable by developers on Linux desktops. I wrote a blog post detailing how over here https://snapcraft.io/blog/bringing-electron-applications-to-...

I'd be happy to help promote the application if/when you choose to land it in the Snap Store.
You don’t have to build the feature, just add a “contact us” button for > users. Building enterprise grade features is a pre-mature optimizations.

respectfully, that sounds like a fairly mealy-mouthed implicit endorsement of a very specific 19th century form of textual literalism to me. Speak plainly when you state a position, and I'll be happy to return the favor. If i'm reading you properly, you ought to know beforehand that we have probably very different hermeneutics.

I would be happy to start on this issue by pointing to any number of long-running (like, millenia-long) ideas on this and other complex moral issues that are littered throughout the many texts of abrahamic faiths. Claiming that there is exactly one intepretation that's valid (which you implicitly do) is a crabbed and limiting way of reading and living pretty much all of the time.

On this specific front, my church only recognizes two sacraments, and both are open to all. With regards to challenging present norms and mores, I am happy to agree, albeit in a way that you almost certainly don't mean. For instance: the more of the body of christ that locks themselves to concentration camp gates, the better!

KFC isn't rolling out thai/indian curries, garlic chinese broccoli, or cheese gorditas any time soon so in this context it seems odd to somehow demonize fake meat while suggesting foreign cuisines are superior. what's the point?

most of the interest i'm guessing is coming from what was previously thought to be "unthinkable": that is, fast food chains whose core business revolves around animal flesh introducing something else that isn't animal flesh. there are tons of consequences for this outside of American vegetarians wanting to replace meat or whatever.
No API information.

This is what I look for first when evaluating CRM software, which gives me an idea of the underlying schema and how to extend or integrate the software.

Most smaller CRM's do not support multiple price books, for example, that can be critical to businesses that have price differences between sales channels and regions.

A typical use case, customer story, for your solution would be helpful.

Isn't "fif-ty-six" three syllables?
I read your supposed differences and see none. Both Democrats and Republicans harvest information voters thought was private to microtarget their message to people. The only difference seems to be you dislike the message that was then presented. But that isn't a problem with the methodology, thats a problem with the message. If your point is that Trump ran on a campaign of racism and division, fine, I'm with you on that. But the idea that the Trump campaign utilization of Cambridge Analytica was scandalous and the Obama campaign's analytic efforts that do the exact same thing is somehow above water is ridiculous.

Either harvesting people's data and using it to message to them is a problem or it isn't. The message being sent is a distinct issue.
You were probably thinking it, but you didn't explicitly mention the No. 1 cost - raising the cattle. An animal that large is probably both delicate and expensive as it grows to maturity.

Could conceivably cut out all the work of growing bones, feeding/watering, animal healthcare, breeding & transport with labgrown meat. And the fixed cost of maintaining farmland. The cost saving potential is huge.

Not even considering the benefits of being able to quickly adjust production to what can be sold, as opposed to waiting however long it takes for a calf to grow up.

The reason the black hole information paradox is a paradox is because it presents us with an unresolved contradiction ("There are various ideas about how the paradox is solved"). So there are several theories with try to resolve the contradiction, but they are all competing theories (i.e. physicists do not agree). Also, some of those theories assume Anti-de Sitter space which contradicts the positively mesaures cosmological constant.

So in the sense that before the paradox is resolved, we don't know if the radiation is thermal or not, but the idea of the radiation being thermal was based on the existing bog-standard theory of QM and GR. What is under debate is how that needs to be modified, which we haven't agreed yet.
There is a saying making the rounds: “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism”

Diamonds are just compacted carbon. If you could create a device that detected dense carbon objects, then it could find diamonds.
There is definitely a lot of considerations that arise with this form of releasing software. It does not fix bad code and should not be used as the only security consideration for a codebase. I could see this being incorporated into a closed source project that has a good testing and code review pipeline as well as regular third party pentests on a release of the software that does not use fuzzification. From a project motivation standpoint, we were examining the internals of fuzzers and found that these techniques could be extremely effective. Right now the project is just academic research and no projects currently use this technology.
A plant-based burger. Lab-grown meat is made from animal cells
I honestly don't understand why it's such a big deal that so many people insist meat must be part of a meal? To the degree that in Argentina they say "si no hay carne, no hay comida" (if there is no meat, it is not a meal). It feels like if I insisted on having bread at every table sitting. Clearly, it can be seen as just a habit and not a requirement?
I think its a plea to take the (in their view ) more serendipitous, meaningful approach of discovering something on the shelf in a quirky second-hand book store.
A black hole is not a singularity. If that were true, they would ALL emit the same Hawking radiation pattern.
FICO scores are definitely worth comparing to this new emerging system, but there are key differences. The input data to FICO scores is broadly public (but not the exact weighting), and they only relate to financial and credit history. They are also regulated by the FCRA, making it so people can see the data that is being held about them and requiring negative information to be removed after a certain amount of time. People can and do receive damages from credit agencies and creditors if they don't correct erroneous information or violate other parts of the law.

It's regrettable that they're are used for things like employment, but on the other hand, you won't be prohibited from using a taxi (Uber), hotel (Airbnb), entering a restaurant (PatronScan), or using a phone or the mail (WhatsApp) because of your FICO score.

Nobody knows what data goes into the reputation systems of tech companies, where it's collected, or who it's shared with. You usually can't look at it. You usually have no recourse as there is no regulatory oversight and no contract to use their services besides "we can kick you off at any time for any reason or no reason at all".

I'm happy to answer questions, and sometimes I can point to non-obvious resources. But mostly I feel that the approach would/should be different for trying to discuss things than "Please help me do my homework"
There's a difference between the physical laws (that we know) and the "domain of physics". There's a great deal we don't yet know about physics that's nevertheless within its domain.

Not everything is in the domain of physics. "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?" is not in the domain of physics. However, physics (or its subsets chemistry and biology) can explain how life may have emerged.

Physics can't rule out that a god snapped his godfingers 5000 years ago and made it all appear the way that it does now. It can't rule out an immortal soul. It can't rule out that we're in a simulation, or that unobservable fairies are actually behind all the forces in the universe. For those cases, I like to apply Occam's Razor - not because it's true, but because it's practical.

> And as you point out, the notion that Darwinian mechanisms can account for evolution of complexity and diversity is pure speculation.

Random mutation and natural selection do result in complexity and diversity. This is a fact, not speculation. You can try it at home, on your computer. We do have genetic algorithms working on those exact principles. They're generally not preferable to more informed algorithms, because they're slow, but they do work.

> It uses mechanisms that we can see operating in the lab and in bioinformatics, such as bacterial horizontal gene transfer and empirically calculated substitution matrices. And the further that bioinformatic algorithms diverge from Darwin's ideas, the better they perform.

As we can see from computer simulation, pure selection and mutation is inefficient. If nature can find a shortcut mechanism that "Darwinian evolution" itself does not account for, it's not surprising that it would become a dominating factor. However, what makes you believe that such a mechanism itself could not possibly arise from natural selection and random mutation? Is it the improbability? It's a big universe, you know. We're not even talking about the probability of this happening on all planets, but on any planet in the universe.
The ugly side of financial inclusion
There are many things that are not illegal, but ruin the experiences of others: cutting in line, making a scene to get freebies or comps, pushing. Previously, cities and towns were generally smaller and communities provided social pressure against this behavior.

Most people are aware of the Chinese tourist stereotype. Perhaps they see this "social credit" system as a way of combating that behavior now that communities are much too global to provide the social pressure they once did.
> So the billions spent on campaign advertising essentially has no effect? I don't buy that for a second, otherwise it wouldn't be a billion dollar industry.

So, it's not just about flipping voters.

It's also about encouraging people who agree your politics to head to the polls & discouraging the dissenters.

I didn't find their use of the data for marketing particularly novel but using that to create a campaign to discourage black youth in Trinidad from voting seems extremely unethical to me.
Because the meat you buy in the grocery store goes bad after a few days, and (here is where I think parent is being slightly intellectually dishonest) while it is true that the fast food companies certainly source their meats from authentic, standard-holding institutions, that's only the beginning. That isn't to say the rounds of processing and preservation that occurs afterwards. You can't just buy a McDonalds chicken nugget off the shelf. Sure the inputs are the same, but the outputs are vastly different, and that's where the perceived difference in quality comes from. Fast food optimizes for longentivity, ease of cooking so they can reduce the labor costs associated in preparing that meat, and eliminating sanitation issues so they reduce their total liability and loss around food borne illnesses so they can reduce the labor costs associated in preparing that meat for you. That is why McDonalds undergoes the painstaking process of sanitizing their meat with an ammonia wash (prompted by the 90's nationwide beef e-coli outbreaks that resulted in serious litigation against popular burger joints), then adding in artificial flavorings back in to make it taste like a burger again (furthermore this is how McDonalds achieves that "miraculous" feat often described here when this topic comes up of having their burgers taste the same and have the same consistent product everywhere for over 20 years).

Tl:dr; yes it is true, inputs are the same as what you get in the store, but the outputs are vastly different. You have to factor in additives and preservation process. There really is a simple "sniff" test/heuristic I have developed after my decades in food service, and it's not really a secret, but seems like some aren't in on it, and it goes like this: If it goes bad, it's good, if it doesn't go bad, it isn't good. (Good is obviously subjective here, so my criteria is obviously "real" food in the sense that it is minimally processed and preserved and minimal chemical additives)
