Automated market movements take place in milliseconds and those in developed countries mostly enjoy access to more or less instantaneous communication. The idea that the best response to political problems is to patiently vote every 2 years and expect that to have more of an impact that actions taken on shorter timescales is absurd.

Voting is nice in theory but in practice is extremely amendable to corruption. 18th century technology isn't cutting it in the 21st century. In a rational world our legal code would be editable like Wikipedia built on top of blockchain. If you look at representative government as an information system it's screamingly obvious that it no longer functions properly and is ripe for abuse.
It bears mentioning that SLAPPs (strategic lawsuits against public participation) can extremely effective if you want to create a chilling effect against opposition.

Case in point: how much negative media coverage of Peter Thiel do you see after he sued Gawker into the ground for dragging him out of the closet?

Thiel claimed that being exposed as gay "ruined lives", but involuntary public exposure prominent closeted individuals has long been an effective tactic in non-violent combat against conservative public officials and religious leaders who use their position to infringe on the rights of LGBT individuals. A man of Thiel's wealth and influence is surely fair game for similar treatment.

I hate the phrase, "check your [facet of personality]." I have asked people to examine their motivations, and I always will - because saying, "why do you believe you are the most qualified person to give this talk?" should really be answered before the person gets up to speak.

And if the answer is, "I'm not, but the person who is doesn't want to evangelize", fine. But yes, consider why you're speaking. That's fine. Otherwise, the message is a load of drivel.

By summer 2017, it was clear that RussiaRussiaRussia was all they had in store for the next several years. At that point, I knew Trump would be reelected. This is a fairly awful person who has actually done a number of impeachable things, many of them after he took office. Yet, they chose to dwell on something that was obviously false to the average voter. Why would they do that? I think the answer to that is related to the fact that Biden is the current pick. If in 2016 we had made a (short) list of candidates likely to lose to Trump, Biden and HRC would have vied closely for the top choice.

The problem with comparing "catch and release" with letting someone out on bail/with a citation for public intoxication is that for the latter, we have a positive identification for the person in question, we know where they live, and generally they have a lot to lose from failing to show.

This isn't really the case for people crossing the border illegally. Almost by definition they won't have a permanent address or a life to be uprooted from (or if they do, they're already uprooted from it - that's why they're crossing the border), and if they're set free they most likely won't have legal ways to support themselves. (No green card == no legal employment prospects)

I'd love to see historical rates of people showing up for their court hearings in illegal immigration cases like you describe, though - maybe I'm wrong!
At peak saturation, blue has the lowest luminosity, which gives it the greatest contrast against white. Purple, magenta, and red are next.

Well said. Not to mention that where you where born (geographically) and what social sector makes lots of cultural differences. For example, in late 90s in Argentina my mother washed clothes by hand and didn't own any game console. As you can imagine, even if I was a teenanger during the year 2000 my culture and life experience was differrnt than a middle class American of my same age.
x = rand() % 2 always gives a random number. You can't
correlate them that way.

Needs to be a tunable random number and technically needs to be "true" as mentioned.

But I don't think that the authors would disagree with your larger point - their point is to provide polynomial speed-up over digital computers for a certain class of problems. That this can be done with classical computers isn't exactly a deep insight, it's rather obvious.

For someone who doesn't live in Russia, the difference is academic, and they are far more similar, than they are different.

Actually, now that I think about it - one key difference is that shitty sugary drinks have killed more Americans then the Russian government did.

Another is that corporations buying candidates, by virtue of sponsoring their political campaigns have done more to undermine, subvert, and corrupt democracy than the Kremlin could ever dream of. You say the Russians have improperly 'influenced' elections? China astroturfs their global image? Please contrast that to to both the effort expended by, and the rewards gained by the fossil fuel industry, in 'influencing' elections, and astroturfing its global image.

Everyone's getting their knickers in a twist because some Trump staffer had some meetings with the Russian government - yet half the politicans in Washington are regurgitating talking points straight from a corporate press release.

But I suppose propaganda from the former is kosher, because they have a clear profit motive for it, eh?

I'll go further:

For each problem there are a few sub-problems and a "right way" to do each of them where a "right way" corresponds to an algorithm which efficiently tackles some element of the implicit structure of the problem.

I think within 5 years we will have made great progress on algorithmically discovering these "right ways" across many problem domains. I think both differentiable neural architecture search[0] and the MAML with implicit gradients[1] stuff is very interesting from this perspective.

They had to be shut off during heatwaves mainly to limit the raise in temperature of nearby rivers, due to the river heating, the limited flow of the rivers, and the raise in the reactor's egress water temperature. It is not clear if the raise in the egress water temperature had a big impact, it seems more likely that the heatwave made the rivers less able to receive the excess heat. The cooling systems were still fully able to cool the reactor, but not without shedding a lot of heat to the rivers (as usual).

Of course, this is not at all contrarian to your point, I made the precision because "no longer could be cooled adequately" could be misunderstood.

They were also some problems with the efficiency and reliability of backup generators during heatwaves, but this is not very hard to handle (the backup generators are much easier to cool than the reactor itself).

Bingo. I read the code to be sure there wasn't a factor to model this. The answer should depend on the relative probability of choosing a whole pill or a half pill. The code assumes equal odds, with no state dependence on the remaining ratio.

I was startled by the formula, though. It's the same as the Gilbert-Shannon-Reeds model for card shuffling, where the probability of a card falling from each packet scales to the number of cards left in each packet. (I wrote the "seven shuffles" paper with Persi Diaconis.)

I wish there were some revisionist theories, but to propose a revisionist theory you need tons of work and very credible studies to back it up ... to simply say "hey Ramses was a bad guy" is much easier, it won't attract attention of any credible historians who may try to discredit it but it will get published and may even give you an opportunity to write a pop-science book, so you can go from a poorly paid "one in a million" historians to hopefully "an author of the popular science bestseller".
You are correct that a higher interest rate is supposed to compensate the lender for the risk that the borrower defaults and the lender loses all his collateral.

But when the lender can garnish the borrower's future wages, sabotage his job applications, and force the borrower to repay with the threat of criminal prosecution, the lender's risk of losing his initial collateral goes down significantly. What justifies the lender charging exorbitant interest rates when he has all these tools available to avoid the loss of his initial investment and earn even more profit?

I think that combination why usury is reviled. It's not just the high interest rates, but the tools and punishments lenders use to lower the risk of default below what justifies their high rates. It's high interest rates + debtor's prisons that's really repulsive. Having a lender offer you higher terms because he says you're more likely to default, but then refusing to let you default and seizing your economic production for the rest of your life.

I think I read the same article (Portland?). The key thing is that the change was slow because demand was building up slowly.

OTOH, if changes are held back for decades and demand is pent up (ie soaring prices and increasing commutes) then there's going to be a surge once changes are allowed. ie SF will see a far bigger, faster change than other places.

It's precisely the places that have a huge pent up demand for housing that have the biggest problem with Airbnb.
I agree that the integer factorization is a poor choice. Last statement in the Abstract talks about sampling and optimization which could be the bigger point.

Their pre-processing seems like simply expanding out their cost function that's of the form E= (F - XY)^2. Of course it's a lot of multiplications since X and Y are binary and multi-dimensional. Not sure if it would be NP-hard though.

Hi. We don't know for sure how many targets are involved in these letters. However, the USA Freedom Act prohibited bulk collection of information here.

The government now releases basic statistics on NSLs, for example here: https://www.dni.gov/files/CLPT/documents/2019_ASTR_for_CY201....

In 2018, there were 10,235 NSLs, with 38,872 "requests for information" (ie targets) within those NSLs. So you can make some general inferences.

So, in this case, suppose I lose my phone, then buy a new one, but before opening the box I find my old phone again.

I have spent money on the phone but there is literally no degradation. Is selling the unnecessary phone hurting the industry? How much money is Samsung losing?

The whole "perfect copy" sounds like an invented reason to stop preventing people from exercising their rights to me. I don't see why the quality of a product needs to be degraded before you're allowed to sell it. The market is as big as the amount of people playing your game at the same time, that's how it's always been up until Steam came along. Games were made before Steam and they will be made when they are sold second hand again.

The only difference between hardware and software in this regard is that software actually can be prevented from being resold. I see no reason why we should.

Everyone should go to the dentist, and many insurance policies pay for that.

Insofar as it works, therapy is "preventive care" -- it should help you to live a healthier life, thus reducing your overall cost to the insurer.

This gets tricky when we consider the frequency and cost of therapy. If you go every week, and a session costs $200 (not unreasonable in much of the world) then it's probably only coverable in a single-payer, "healthcare-is-a-human-right" system, and even then only after building a pro-therapy consensus that might be difficult.

Because even if everyone should go to therapy, lots of people think they shouldn't.
There no parasite that causes facial deformities, and mismatched emotional cues are a fundamental part of humour/acting.

> Okay so wait, we have corporations trying to turn the public against a competitor for being "too successful," in the hopes that it will let them use the apparatus of government to hobble said competitor in any way without repercussions, and no one is upset about this? Instead, we just go along with this fake-grassroots idea of "oh yeah Amazon is an evil empire"? This doesn't process for me.

Amazon can be an evil empire, AND their opposition can also be evil corporations that do evil things like organize fake grassroots campaigns. These are not mutually exclusive ideas.

> Amazon is so superior to the competition that they're left trying to use institutionalized violence to stop them

"Violence" is a word with a meaning, and it isn't happening here. No one has been so much as bruised. If you have to resort to this sort of sophistry to make your point, your point is probably not correct.

Amazon isn't winning because they're superior to the competition. Lots of online sellers manage to not sell counterfeit goods, have better prices, and give more of the profit to the people actually producing products. Amazon is winning because of first-to-market advantages, pre-existing infrastructure, and monopolistic practices.

> And before you talk about how Amazon acts monopolistically by promoting their own or favorite products, it's their platform, they have a right to do that and they're not forcing sellers to use them. The sellers, if they really think they have a better chance elsewhere, can leave. It might make it worse for users, but again no one is forcing you to use Amazon. Use Walmart all you want!

It's clear that you do not understand the concept of a monopoly.

You'll have to deal with APIs that do return full 64-bit pointers with real information in the top bits. You won't be able to play games with these bits. Stuff is going to break unless you are careful. If you are shipping a platform of some kind then you must also ensure that your customers cannot get into trouble (if you tell them "Hey, these upper bits are up for grabs" then you are doing them a disservice, in several ways).

"We know this is wrong, but we'll deal with it when it happens" is a demonstrably expensive road. I can't think of many clearer cases of refusal to learn from history in computing.

How fast does the CPU step up and down the throttling caused by AVX-512?

Basically, if you are interleaving like you suggest, does the processor detect this and reduce the throttling by the "duty cycle" of 512-bit operations?

If not, could there be a way to tell the CPU to do this?

In my area, they add no real value over the standard taxi companies. Literally the only advantage to them is that they're cheaper (which is an artificial and unsustainable difference). Everything else they do is also done equally well by the cab companies.

That may be why there aren't an increasing number of Uber and Lyft drivers here, but the taxi companies are expanding.
