> Why did New Guineans wind up technologically primitive, despite what I believe to be their superior intelligence?

That's a direct quote where he says flat-out what he believes. It sets the tone for the entire book and the implications about how societies evolve. In the context of everything else, one could reasonably infer that he believes that Eurasians conquered the world because they genetically evolved to develop authoritarian, centralized societies where intelligence took a back seat to being a pawn in a hierarchical political machine.

But he doesn't say that explicitly, and probably doesn't even think that. His discussion of natural selection and evolution is so loose, equivocal, and as you point out even contradictory, who knows what he believes. Point being, no matter who's the good guy or bad guy, he uses very specious reasoning to build a sophisticated theory about how the world is ordered, the very kind of specious logic used in racist thinking everywhere.
Which results in the same dataset. Same with mobile phones. But that's ok as long as you obfuscate the data too give the illusion of privacy.

So You could have a tracking on a map of a dot moving, but as soon as you associate that dot with a person in the same dataset - that causes dramalama. But you can have that dot associated with a person in a separate dataset held by somebody else and skirt around the fact that the same dataset is held, albeit obfuscated at a remedial level that placates the technothuds.

Is it true that in the US that medical bills don't impact your credit if you are making payments -- even $1/month? If so, I don't quite understand why people would go bankrupt from medical bills. Am I misunderstanding somehow?
I'd wager you're correct in your assumption that most decision makers would not be duped by something like that, however a bogus tweet from an official source could be used as plausible cover for leaders who are seeking justification to take actions they wanted to take anyway.

Can you imagine what would have happened if a post-9/11 Iranian leader's account had tweeted "we have successfully acquired nuclear weapons and will be attacking Washington DC and Jerusalem tonight"? Elements within the governments of the USA and Israel have been agitating for war with Iran for decades, and that could give them the cover they need to act on it.

Wages were not an issue, her knowledge was. She'd regularly buy expensive, overpriced trinkets. Also, she had two older brothers who got priority, so paying her more wouldn't necessarily go to her. She was still living with her parents.
The first time I saw a compound bow, I assumed it was ancient, because it seemed like surely they would have figured it out given that crossbows were a thing. I was quite surprised that it was from the 60s.

People tend to make the mistake that ancient people were just primitives, but assuming they'd produce ideal solutions can also be a mistake.
Could it be that better mental health (whatever the cause of that might be) causes both higher income and more physical activity?
Yeah, I hate to be cynical, but I'm not buying the stated use cases as the main motivator here for Google. It's cool they are releasing it. Interested to see what other folks come up with.

I wonder if this could be used to identity people based on hand movements alone? Like some sort of movement 'finger print' or something.

I've got to imagine we all have somewhat different paterns of moving our hands. Is it possible AI could be trained to study existing footage of a person, and identify them this way? Maybe akin to facial recognition, but hand movements instead?

Or maybe they are all too similar to be able to tell one person from another. Hell if I know, but interesting to think about.
Does Google's et all EULA cater for this as fairly sure many childrens phones track them and fall foul of this.

Oyster cards in London, your journeys are tracked, consent not asked for. Let alone giving special privilege for children.

Then the whole aspect of under-age (children) commiting crime and evidence. A smart lawyer could abuse the whole aspect to squash any evidence that placed them at a scene of a crime as they never gave consent and if they did - they didn't know what they were doing.

Basically - if a school can't rely upon consent from children - nobody can.
That depends on the person, who tracks attendance.

If the teacher sells attendance reports (together with detailed lesson transcripts and audio recordings) to Google, Amazon, Netflix, US and Russian governments, all major data brokers and The USA Association of Rich Pedophiles, all at the same time — yes, there is no difference. Otherwise there is a substantial difference.

It is amazing, that a person, directly reporting such detailed information to elsewhere, would be considered a pervert and criminal, but using an automated camera to do the same thing is somehow alright?!!

I understand that startups and cash/credit businesses were severely hit due to demonetization which happened in 2016. But that doesn't explain why it is responsible for current slowdown, which is mainly happening due to drop in demand in Automobile and Real-estate sectors. I haven't seen economists(even who are critical of the Government) blaming this slowdown on Demonetization[1][2].

The idea of generating an interpreter from the compiler is really neat.

What I missed in this article is why the Baseline Interpreter is faster than the C++ interpreter. The code snippet for the load zero instruction looks like what a compiler should produce for a straightforward C++ switch case for that instruction. Except that the code uses a push instruction to store the value directly on the system stack, whereas the C++ interpreter would presumably use a more general store instruction into an array (in the heap, maybe) treated as the interpreter stack.

Is that the difference, or am I missing something else?

What's with the Walled Garden of DSP and RTB?
Been looking into RTB for quite some time and there are many DSP solutions out there. I don't want that, I want to bid on my own terms, in my own dev environment.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for an open sourced DSP solution?

I haven't read AK; from context, is that really what Tolstoy meant? Without context, the well-known quote could be read as happy families are alike in that they are happy, since, in practice, happy families are not identical.
The integers form a group under multiplication though and a key property of a group is that every element has an inverse. So how does the definition hold if there is nothing that could be considered an inverse for the number 0? Curious about this... I never thought about it before.

The interesting thing about Gmail for me, is that I lost the ability to log in to my primary Gmail account quite some time ago (well over a year I think) and yet I still have a device that remains logged in and showing me new mail even though I don't have the password, can't send mail, and can't reset the password by any means.

I am beginning to think it is a notable security hole, as Gmail shouldn't, and surely does not in general, allow a session to last for years without timing out or requiring re-authentication.
Google Trends is not an answer. It's more likely that people will soon be fed up with enormous unrelated content and infinite scrolling, and will revert back to what's actually useful: specialized and managable content.

And if you're searching for trends only, you'll be able to find that it's already happening. Community discovered that social networks is not an answer, the content is mostly garbage in there and nobody wants to 'scroll to infinity' anymore.

Look at Lisp trends at different time periods in the past 60 or so years. And then at Clojure or functional programming in general now.

There are a lot of articles on gamasutra (also GDC videos on youtube) on different aspects of this, but the quality and exact applicability is going to vary a lot, here's a couple of short ones that call back to psychology 101 that may be useful.

Ask HN: Would This Work?
What if a government assigned a very small % of income tax to "tech_services" for each citizen. It could be further subdivided into categories (social, communications, media).

Then when a user of a social media site, non-ad generating search engine, news site, email client, chat app etc wanted to register, they could oauth-style authenticate to the tax office and assign a % of these funds to a particular service.

The data/advertising driven business models online grow due as everyone likes free and ads are a great way to monetise a free service. Since a citizen has already "paid" their tax it's still effectively a free service for them. Why not spend it?

Depending on the implementation it could also be used to subsidise smaller or more socially impactful services (eg gov directly subsidizes lower income people to use more expensive services). Its also possible to support user pricing models to be based on income.
Unlike most people, the Egyptions rather conveniently buried people with religious texts, so we have a fairly decent idea of those religious practices.

Off topic: I sometimes browse in in-cognito mode. This was one of those times. I clicked through to the article, and the website detected that I was in in-cognito mode and said I wasn't allowed to read the article in in-cognito mode. I feel as if this walled-garden approach is getting out of hand.
I don't think we're talking about Atlantis here. We're talking about ruins being inundated. There is some tipping point where every society collapses, and those inland and upland we occasionally locate. Except that we're having a damned difficult time doing that in aggressively biologically active regions like swamps or rainforests.

Say you built your town on a 3% grade next to the water. That's 3 meters of descent for every 100 meters of distance. If sea level rises 50 meters, your town's ruins aren't just ~45 meters underwater, there's also almost a kilometer and a half out to sea. Nobody is looking there.

That presumes all early stage startups (as made in the US) are created equal, and any regression in their success rates is bad.

Given that 9/10 startups fail even without GDPR, it's not surprising that early stage cos form the Lion's share of failures, and it surely can't be good for any data that was slurped up during whatever these experiments at market fit were doing.

And given that the ultimate goal of GDPR is to protect privacy, it doesn't make sense to exempt startups, especially when the early stage stakes are high and a failure to squeeze out every drop of value legally possible out of your data (while your competitors do) could mean the death of your venture.

As such, comparing to American standards or even current European standards doesn't quite work when there's a clear shift of the moral bar for GDPR compliance.
Venice of course, is 1500 years old and people still very much live there. It's also made of materials that are impossible to craft without metal. I said a village might be abandoned due to sea level rise, but it's unlikely to cause civilizational collapse. Highly, highly unlikely, since it moves sooo slooow.

The article cites awesome stats about the effectiveness of showing the results of static analysis at "diff time" (in code review) vs. outside the dev workflow.

> For classes of bugs intended for all or a wide variety of engineers on a given platform, we have gravitated toward a "diff time" deployment, where analyzers participate as bots in code review, making automatic comments when an engineer submits a code modification. Later, we recount a striking situation where the diff time deployment saw a 70% fix rate, where a more traditional "offline" or "batch" deployment (where bug lists are presented to engineers, outside their workflow) saw a 0% fix rate.

> ...

> The response was stunning: we were greeted by near silence. We assigned 20-30 issues to developers, and almost none of them were acted on. We had worked hard to get the false positive rate down to what we thought was less than 20%, and yet the fix rate—the proportion of reported issues that developers resolved—was near zero.

> Next, we switched Infer on at diff time. The response of engineers was just as stunning: the fix rate rocketed to over 70%. The same program analysis, with same false positive rate, had much greater impact when deployed at diff time.

I am the Sourcegraph CEO, and we've long been aware of tools like this at Facebook, and Google's similar tool (described in another ACM article, https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stor...). We are working on bringing static analysis into the dev workflow, and letting you run campaigns to apply static analysis fixes across your entire codebase.

I'd recommend using monetary penalties, including clawbacks, for motivational purposes. I suspect jail isn't quite the same level of deterrent as money for people who value those extra 0s on their net worth. Civil litigation is easier to win, too.

I don't know if it's my imagination, but emails of mine sent via my domain and not gmail or outlook seem to often mysteriously vanish, and I was thinking it may be because they are flagged as spam.

There's also the issue that nothing other than gmail works very well on an android phone.

I started using email long before Google existed, but I'm not really familiar with a good alternative at this point. It's not that I wouldn't theoretically pay money for a good old fashioned email provider with human customer service, but I really don't think such a business exists anymore, due to the proliferation of free email. And a small-time automated business is going to be worse than a big-time automated business anyway. It's just not 1993 any more.

Neither do I. My point was made in earnest. Women are judged negatively for dressing up and actually making an effort in looking attractive. Men aren't judged negatively.

If we start selling makeup for men and encourage a society to use it, it will equalize the notion of "vanity" - using economics and generating desired behaviour in form of externalities is a favourite armchair hobby of mine.

Speaking purely on the technical side of this problem: if you had to design a system to take attendance without some sort of human in the loop (e.g. a teacher), what other workable solutions are there? ID scanned by itself? A student could scan multiple IDs for their friends. ID + PIN? Due to the bursty nature of entering classrooms, that would cause a jam up at the PIN reader. Short of an ID shackle (that's a joke), nothing really comes to my mind that is foolproof.

I don't think he meant sugar in the sense of being bad when he compared it to heroin. The comparison was to highlight the similarity of addictiveness of sugar in children and heroin in adults. Addictiveness isn't necessarily always bad.

> and sugar is never a bad thing in our culture

Sugar IS bad, scientifically speaking. I wouldn't be surprised if sugar is an important reason for the high levels of obesity and heart diseases in India. In the end, I think we need to move ahead from traditional values and selectively and logically think about the parts of our culture we want to retain.
There are many css grid solutions, I would recommend looking at bootstrap, bulma, materialize for examples.

Essentially most of them are comprised of a grid broken down into 12 columns. For your example in bulma the following would render the same:

<div class="columns is-multiline">
<div class="column is-two-thirds">bigger</div>
<div class="column is-one-third">smaller</div>
</div>

The way it works in the CSS is @media queries which specify how to handle the object widths at various screen widths.

In your example, your min-width is the only thing creating the scaffolding effect. When you fill in your elements with content you may notice them behave unexpectedly.

Also, this may have been more of a stackoverflow question.
Media queries?

But just because a president has the power to declassify (and make classified) anything he wants, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is wise. Showing off your toys is fine when it is a jet with a bathroom covered in gold leaf. When a tweet reveals capabilities that your country spent (literally) billions of dollars on, you are basically wasting taxpayer's money, because now these satellites are going to be less effective. How much less effective probably depends on the adversary, since the big players probably had a good guess about what these imaging satellites could do, but I'll bet ISIS probably didn't (similar to how an unfortunate comment alerted ISIS about being tracked by geotagged images on social media).

It might be okay if experts conversed with the president about the second and third order effects of tweeting the image, and he concluded that it was worth it to release the image. However, given the widely reported disdain that he has for the intelligence community I doubt that such a conversation took place.
