I'd recommend for you to listen to the Bloomberg Odd Lots podcast from 15 April 2019 - it had Zoltan Poszar from Credit Suisse on to talk about the general trend in the money markets (and he was worried about something like this happening back then too), and quite a few of your questions should be answered by the time you're done.

Here's the link (it's also available on Apple Podcasts)- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/audio/2019-04-12/why-foreign-...

edit: It's a little heavy on content, so if you don't know much about the money market (like me when I first listened to it), I'd recommend having a pen and paper on hand to take notes.
> If you are a web dev keep in mind that localhost is not available so that you need to figure out the IP address of WSL2.

Which sounds like a non-issue, but is actually quite annoying, as almost every unconfigured daemon binds to localhost...

I'd like to signal boost this, it's a very important line of research. Congrats on a groundbreaking paper! The first time I have seen it, I was completely shocked by that perfect linear fit on "Do ImageNet Classifiers Generalize to ImageNet?" Figure 1.

To elaborate for the other commenters: vaishaalshankar's team has created a new ImageNet evaluation dataset from scratch, and they observed that the leaderboard positions of popular image recognition models didn't change much when switching to the new evaluation. The actual performance of the models decreased significantly, but without affecting the ranking.

The OP starts from a not very controversial claim: there's a good chance that the winner of a Kaggle competition is not actually better than any of the other top k contestants, for quite large values of k. But then he completely overplays his hand, and by the time he gets to talk about ImageNet, he makes claims that were actually falsified by vaishaalshankar's paper.
Haven't tested WSL2, but used WSL as an X client quite a bit. It works, but performance is pretty terrible. It's fine for 'static' GUIs, but far from great for any sort of interactive graphics.
Or? Is it in theory possible that your preception of reality is off?

Government regulation of the net (aka speech) is a non-starter, so the people who think "insert rule" fixes something are forced to rebrand it to "net betterness". More than half of the general public is wise to these techniques.

What "pragmatic" law do you have in mind?
Try actually reading what I wrote and not attacking straw men.
I wonder what the reasoning for this attack was. When they pulled the trigger, were they attempting to target a specific individual or groups? The article mentions that groups of IS were alleged to be using the fields for training. What kind of calculation of civilian casualties or risks goes into this decision? How do citizens of the US/Nato countries understand what that calculation is, or is that policy effectively out of the control of the populace at large, vested only in the wartime decisionmakers? Will there be any discussion of this or justification, or is that beyond the reporting responsibilities of the AP?
Oh god, I hope the potential spouse bases their decision on factors other than net worth. I don't want to live in that awful world.
Because your average farmer is obviously going to join up with a militia or terrorist group because of some abstract political thing like sanctions, which he probably has trouble even measuring in his day to life.

As opposed to your elected politicians and your military having blown up his daughter at her wedding, scattering her remains over a wide enough area that it is hard even finding anything to bury.

Makes sense.

The only way you're going to get someone mad enough for that, is if the militia you equipped happens to inflict similar cruelties, or you otherwise mess with his nation in a way that is more than just an inconvenience.

If the US imposed sanctions against my country, I'd just shrug. If the US killed my family members and I had no recourse...
That remains to be seen. Yes, traffic has its toll, we are all quite aware of it. But we do not have the numbers on drones in large deployments carrying packages so that seems premature.
IIRC, if you use docker swarm it wil handle the routing for you. So if an app is running on port 8080 on two swarm nodes, if you access port 8080 on each node, you might actually be accessing another node.

Since docker swarm knows if an instance is down, it will know to not use that instance.

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/ingress/
If it has a sim card it has tracking via cell towers, not as accurate but still 10-50 meters accuracy, whether that tracking is available to you is different thing.

It basically assumes you have at least one year's grad school level background in economics. It does give some overview, but probably not enough to learn it from the book alone.

Tesla exists since... 2003? They started as a research initiative in 2010, things became only serious business wise when Deutsche Post acquired them in 2014.

Anyway I'm not even sure why exactly we're talking about Tesla. I thought they were going to produce a semi, not a delivery truck?
I think you can try a tool like Envoy for doing routing between versions plus some other custom stuff.

> "How can this be used against me?"

And rightly so. Kids I observe learned well from our mistakes and they know better than giving away their real data, posting their photos etc. I was stunned to hear from a 10-year old "but this review is obviously fake, anyone can write what they want on the internet to trick you into buying something." I guess they're better prepared to deal with the digital world.
From what I can gather the guy is going in on satirical comedy. Specifically in the way we tend to evangelise these big tech companies and those who work for them.

Sometimes his delivery is so deadpan that I get an odious vibe from it. But it does seem that he’s not serious and is using his previous status as a part of the humour.

Sanctioned people are in a way oppressed people and their grievances may well be legitimate (i.e., "I had a nice family business and now my export targets are gone while I did nothing wrong.") Retaliation probably feels like a genuine reason for their actions too. Many sanctions hit the population while their government hardly feels it (they still have enough to eat, places to live etc.)
Obligatory - "That's just, like, your opinion, man"

30 years later and they still want the Mini-14 banned.

Anti’s aren’t stupid. They banned the G11 to set precedent. Now any mass market firearm that uses caseless ammunition is immediately on the chopping block. A powerful move - cheap caseless ammo would be a huge boost to the community and industry.
Yes, someone can but you'll need security clearance for that.

If we assume this was not intentional, then the two most probable causes are human or technical or any combination of both.

A drone can't land, open Skype and allow an interrogator to speak with the locals in their language- it flies high, have limited visibility and the interpretation of the incoming data is based on prior intelligence.

If you look at the pictures you'll see that pine nut farmers looks the same as IS Jihadi terrorists, both use civilian clothes and sometimes they are actually the same person.

All those things you think are false are 100% absolutely true.

Terrorism is a political tactic coming from a power asymmetry and is labeled as such due to this power dynamic as a consequence of who controls the narrative.
There are advantages to using minikube for local development if you are interested in replicating and testing the whole flow. I think these are most important for small teams of 1-5 people where everyone needs to understand the whole infrastructure stack and regularly performs changes down to the kubernetes resources. That said, I've found that for bigger teams where you have a few people concerned with keeping k8s stable, and most people developing the actual application logic, docker-compose is still the most no-frills-easy-to-understand option for local development.
Not sure about the legal framework in the US but over here across the pond, it's enough if you remove the data when restoring the backups (reasonably easy to do; took me about a day to implement that on an old codebase that I wrote more than ten years ago, and I haven't touched either PHP or that codebase since then...).

IANAL but the guy who told us how it's done was, and in addition to all the legal stuff, of which I have absolutely no recollection because I don't really understand it, he pointed us to this as a useful resource for people who are also not lawyers: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... .

Turns out it's acceptable for data to remain backed up for a while (as long as you inform your users), as long as you have systems in place that guarantees it's not used anymore.

Just sayin, it's not rocket science. Reading Internet forums you'd think the GDPR was like Apocalypse Lite, but in my experience, it took very little effort to implement it for companies that weren't engaging in shady practices.
Heh, no, sorry, my fault. I wrote the patch you're referring to; I got it to link. When AMD went to test it on hardware (which I don't have), they hit alignment related general protection faults that I traced back to a movaps instruction. I'm still working with CrOS and AMD folks to figure out what to do, but there's a few questionable things that are going on in their driver that have a few kernel devs confused. For now, people are just happy to see AMD participate more in upstream kernel dev, but definitely some parts of their driver will need to be rewritten I fear at this point.
"I cannot imagine how it can be a good idea to reject the internet. Avoid social media all you want, but choosing not to have a search engine, dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps and so on at your fingertips is just bonkers.

But we had all that growing up 40 years ago. The internet has made people stupider, as a culture. People learn less because you can just look it up. Yes, you can. It's much easier to look stuff up, but that means people are retaining less themselves.
Is it a single model or stacking of multiple models?
Yeah, I do feel somewhat sorry for Bernhardt though -- she couldn't get the same eternal recognition that people a generation later could in the movies. From the reviews, it seems she had the kind of personality that would surely make her a movie star.

I hadn't even been aware of Sarah Bernhardt until a couple of months ago, when I visited the Alphonse Mucha museum in Prague. It was she who essentially launched his career in art, by commissioning him to make posters for her performances. And through his art, I could feel her personality reaching across time to me. I'm not sure if I'd actually like her performances, but she felt like someone with skill at holding attention, that's for sure.
> The word "bureaucrat" is just a catchall term for the people who work for the government

"People who work for the government" are "civil servants" (or "public servants")

A bureaucrat is a member of an "administrative system governing a large institution".

Each civil servant has some power when it comes to do what/how he wants to. On this behalf bureaucrats and (even more) technocrats are among the most powerful.

> soldiers

A soldier must obey (nearly) blindly, becoming a mere instrument for brass. Brass bureaucrats/technocrats have their own political agenda, and many adjust their actions accordingly.

> police officers

Most aren't bureaucrats. Theoretically they enforce laws, even if they don't agree with them. In practice many adjust their actions according to their own political agenda.

> teachers

Most aren't bureaucrats. Many teach according to their own political agenda, or just guard while repeating state propaganda.

> firefighters

Most aren't bureaucrats/technocrats. Moreover their field is not politically-loaded (nearly everyone agrees about what they have to do, and how).

As someone who grew up in rural Louisiana in the southeastern US, if you're being charged by a hog, you're better off with a .45 semi-automatic handgun such as a Colt 1911 / clone. That will likely be the difference between "I just had a mild heart attack" and "I'm in the ICU". As far as hunting, sure, a bolt-action rifle in the .30-caliber range, such as a .308 or .30-06 is fine, since you have distance on your side, particularly distance that isn't rapidly decreasing with some tusks headed your way with your name on them.
Wow, did I strike a nerve? I'm not making excuses or equivocating. I'm simply pointing out that this is not some random tantrum on the Chinese side. The USA, and Canada, knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to "make an example of" Ms. Meng, and the Chinese are retaliating by making an example of some westerners - who, by the way, are all charged with crimes as well, unless you are claiming they were framed?

Meng's charges are 100% about the Iran sanctions. This "fraud" was allegedly misrepresenting the destination of funds - allegedly to conceal a relationship with a company previously accused of trading with Iran. Meng was explicitly arrested by request from the USA.

I invite you to put aside your outrage, step back, and think about how the other side might view things. This "law" that Meng has broken - in her home country - is viewed as an illegitimate attempt by the USA to impose its will on the rest of the world. Illegitimate law, illegitimate investigation - and if you think enforcement of this kind of law isn't arbitrary, think again. The US knew what it was doing, and China's decision to start strictly enforcing one or two of its own laws is the absolutely predictable outcome.

One more thing. I'm not "making excuses". I'm no great fan of China and I'd never live there. But I'm tired of the narrative of "my own righteous, virtuous country can do no wrong" vs "the evil, scheming little brainwashed totalitarians". It's simply ignorant to think so. There are a great deal of intelligent, reasonable Chinese, and when they do things, they do them for a reason. Look for those reasons. If all you can come up with is "because they're evil" - go back to the drawing board.
Which is all the reason to remember that, whatever we do, we absolutely cannot break our civilization's ability to maintain existing level of technology and improve on it. If we do break it, we're done. The Gulf Stream shutting down would be tough, but survivable. Global economy shutting down would be game over for humanity, preceded by unprecedented amounts of suffering.

> You could say that saving the environment is just saving the current set of humans, or our modern way of life. It definitely sounds much less noble when put that way though.

If you compare "our modern way of life" and the promises ahead to past millennia of humanity, it actually does sound very noble. I wouldn't wish medieval or ancestral life on my worst enemy.
Or Yemenis kill 30 Saudi date farm workers in Saud.

Or, God forbid, Iran kills 30 Saudis in Saud.

We've been exposed to so much propaganda that we instinctively know what is "worse", and who is "allowed" to kill without due process.

There was a wave of anti- Muslim hate crime in the US after 9/11, although not by any of the specific families of the victims.

Yes? E.g. after the murder of Lee Rigby in the UK there was a small wave of attempted arson on mosques.
Anti-ideology is still an ideology, see Lacan's Book XXI "The Non-Duped Err". You can veil your imperialistic ideology behind some idea of an "objective" evaluation but it's transparent to everyone and everyone.

I agree with everyone else re Payment Intents. I started using them in "beta3" last December(?) and did my last "upgrade" to PaymentIntents (really a full replacement of the Stripe integration) 2 weeks ago.

As others have said, the documentation is the major issue. PI takes time to understand, particularly if used to the old way. The documentation is improving but still a mess. Code examples miss steps, and I only made progress when I found this page: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents/web-manual which 2 weeks ago wasn't clearly linked in the documentation (and https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents/migration where I kept ending up had contradictory code for the last stages). The split between automatic and manual confirmation isn't helpful.

Like others, each integration took longer than the 1 day I expected. I resorted to reading the API documentation at times to work out which JS method I needed - something I don't normally need with Stripe! handleCardPayment() vs handleCardAction() vs createPaymentMethod()... there's so many code snippets floating around in the docs for contradictory flows.

If Stripe really want to improve matters, a "What do you want to do?" wizard that asks questions like "When do you want to confirm?" and "Do you need to store the card?" and produces the right code snippets at the end would be helpful.

I also feel Stripe has dropped the ball in Europe. I was consulting with a client with not-insignificant turnover, and I recommended they switch to Stripe. The sales team took a week to reply to his enquiry, then didn't answer the questions but returned a boilerplate response. And this went on. It's not a good impression and made me look bad. I'm going to be less open to recommending Stripe to existing, established businesses now.

4-6 years ago Stripe was a shining example of a motivated sales and support team. Now - old and painful-to-integrate competitors like SagePay are doing better. Or shudder Braintree, who have arrived with discounted rates, terrible documentation, but an easy-to-drop-in JS widget for all payment methods.

I mean that they actually don't know about the history.

You can see this in almost every discussion about computer science topics.

Look for example how many programmers are shit-talking about Java and they have no clue about certain design decisions back in the day.

Java was the language that made byte compilation and VMs mainstream. Together with XML (another heated topic) it liberated us from unnecessary binary data formats.

And even the language itself was a gift from the programming gods at a time when the most viable programming languages were C, C++, or Perl.

I will forever be thankful to Java for saving me from C++.

In my experience of working for corporations, all of them tend to be cult-like. Office politics: bringing down others to cut ahead, cutting deals, favoritism, etc. are the norm and your work and quality of it matters very little in the long run as long as you can deliver something on time.

The difference lies in perception. Or to put it more elegantly, if you like (or at least can tolerate) that specific flavor of Kool-Aid.
This is all starting to be addressed. France I believe is introducing a law forcing manufacturers to show the expected lifetime of their goods, various laws on packaging are in the works. Yesterday for example Burger King announced they were no longer including plastic toys with their kids meals (could be uk only).

I don't know what country you're from, but this is already happening in western Europe. Slowly, but it is happening.
If Afghanistan mistakenly killed 30 Americans there would be hell to pay
If the West (and USSR/Russia) hadn't been meddling in the political and social affairs of the Middle East for decades, it's completely possible that we wouldn't have any/many Middle Eastern terrorists with the funding and capabilities to do any damage outside their own countries.

It's tempting to suggest, "or if we had done a better job with our meddling", but... no, it just doesn't work, empirically so, and we should stop doing it.

Unfortunately, pushing diplomatic solutions hard would be political suicide in the US; the "us vs. them" mentality is strong here, and I don't think most Americans would be ok with what they'd see as giving in or giving up. And even if the politics at home could work, it's unclear if all that many on the other side are interested in a diplomatic solution, given how radicalized some of them have become due to our recklessness and hubris.
I'm no compiler expert, but I don't see why it has to be so difficult.

Just make Rust use the C++ ABI.

C++ code is compiled in separate translation units as C++ by the C++ compiler. The linker statically links calls to C++ code from object files created by the C++ compiler. That's it. Rust doesn't need to know how to deal with templates because templates are all instantiated by the time this happens. This means you have to write a lot of your fancy C++ logic in separate C++ source files (not headers), but that's the whole point, to use already written code.

The only thing Rust has to do is pass pointers to static code and follow the calling and name mangling convention. Zero calling overhead.
Your bank most certainly can help - the Direct Debit Guarantee is very clear that "If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by the organisation or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society" - it doesn't matter if the bank believe Sky notified you, they are the ones bound by the guarantee to refund. That doesn't stop Sky from sending you a separate bill for the service, but your bank MUST refund immediately if you ask them.

Be persistant, and if they still refuse, use the secret magic words: "So is that the banks final stance on this request, or is there another level you need to escalate my complaint to before I can contact the ombudsman?"
