I wish Linux distros would take the system python out of the default path, put it in /usr/libexec, and patch python dependent packages to use that path manually for exactly that reason.

There desperately needs to be a separation between the Python that's intended to support the OS and Python that's intended to be used by users. These should have never been mixed and there's so much headache caused by it.
It's common for people intending to kill themselves to tie up loose ends and put their affairs in order. It's actually often listed as a warning signal of suicidal behaviour. Generally when people go they want to cause as little trouble for their loved ones as possible.

I mean, in medicine most "fixes" for harsh problems are temporary; nothing is permanent as in the end we all are going to die sooner or later. There's a good reason to think not in terms of "people cured" but in metrics like QALY (quality-adjusted life years) gained - even if this transplant fails tomorrow, it has given that poor woman 5 years of significantly improved (according to her own experience) life quality, and that was a good and valuable thing to achieve even if it turns out that it can't last.
Fair market competition is dead. It has been for a long time. Companies use every trick in the book to gain advantage, ethics be damned. Fair market competition was the first casualty of Neoliberalism when companies took greed is good to their heart and focused only on increasing shareholder wealth. Ayn Rand must be spinning in her grave now.
This article is absurd. It says the 2011 fund return rate is 12%, which isn’t spectacular. That’s the whole point of the article.

Except the 2011 fund includes stakes in Airbnb and Stripe, two massive companies that have yet to go public.

So, sure, at the moment the returns aren’t awe inspiring. But give I can’t imagine anyone at AH is losing sleep over the long-term success of that fund.
> 10% higher than 2017, thanks Trump

It's been increasing dramatically since the early 80's, regardless of who has been president. So I'm sure you meant thanks {Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump}.

> If internal activities increase the value of the domestic economy by more than the trade deficit, then the trade deficit really doesn't matter. It's already paid for.

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue for? Are you saying we should ignore things as long as we can afford them (so there's no reason for rich people to insulate their houses or close their windows, so long as they can keep paying their electric bill), or that there's secretly some benefit of running trade deficits as long as you can afford them? To me this sounds like the captain of a boat denying that a huge hole in the boat is a problem so long as the water gets pumped out slightly faster. The thing is if you are a net exporter you are getting richer, and if you are a net importer you are getting poorer (richer and poorer than you would have been otherwise). If you live in some bizarro universe where that isn't true, explain why companies keep trying to sell us stuff? Why do farmers try to sell more corn than they buy for seed every year? Why does China, and every other country, try so hard to stay competitive and increase their exports? The answer is as obvious as it is true, whatever other wealth you generate, if you export goods you get that money too, just like the rich guy who insulates his house gets to keep his rich guy bank account AND the amount he saves on his bill every month.

> Finally, the only way to buy goods abroad is for someone to sell your currency and buy theirs. If you're buying more abroad than people buy from you, the balance is exactly equal to the 'deficit' in trade of your currency.

This makes the opposite point of what you are trying to make. There is a net flow of funds towards China. That means China is holding USD, which means our currency is made more valuable and their currency is made less valuable, since we have less dollars in circulation domestically. This makes our exports more expensive in terms of foreign currency, which means we sell less stuff to every country, and especially to China. Meanwhile having a currency that actually gets more valuable is an economic disaster, it will throw the country into depression if left unchecked (if you don't know why then you shouldn't be commenting on economics: https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/978/economics/definition-...). So we have to print more money to keep the value of our currency stable, so the effect of 'china's investment' is exactly nothing, apart from China building up huge wealth exporting to the US and the US not building up wealth exporting to China.
You definitely need to stay abreast of fire safety and toxic chemical regulations here, and you probably want an explosives license anyhow for some of the materials you might want (particularly for ignition I think).

They're perfectly abstract if they pertain in no concrete way to the case at hand. You said yourself that your defence of RMS is down to your viewpoints about these concepts.

What possible reason can there be?
Sorry for not making it clear: they don’t ask for the money, until it’s “needed”. The term of art is “capital call” and while it’s possible to call at any time (perhaps you want to make a huge investment and you don’t have the cash currently), it’s usually somewhat spread out. The “default” behavior is an even-ish set of calls over say a 5-year period for a (nominally) 10-year fund.

Yes! Most Cyclone Vs or Zync/Artix chips can support quantized networks, and people have been making them easier to get started with, for example this toolchain[1]: https://github.com/danielholanda/LeFlow

Can take Tensorflow models and convert them to Verilog. Tensorflow already has lots of tools to train quantized models, so all you need to do is convert them to hardware.

If you had a big enough Lattice FPGA you the open source Yosys toolchain, or use one of the Vendor proprietary toolchains for Altera/Xilinx.

> Because there are no other misdemeanors where the penalty is deportation.

This is false.

https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/12/immigra...

"The U.S. government initiated deportation proceedings in May 2007 against Saul as he returned from a holiday in Mexico. Saul is a British citizen, born in London, and at the time his removal proceedings began, he had been living in the United States for almost a full decade as a legal permanent resident... As grounds for deportation, the government cited a misdemeanor—check fraud—that Saul had committed at the age of 19."

"Aggravated felonies sound serious, and many of them are (kidnapping, theft, and bribery make the list, among many others), but there are also many misdemeanors that could fall within this term’s scope due to the mismatch between federal and state law. Crimes of moral turpitude are equally tricky."

> The only reason to point it out as a misdemeanor is to make it seem like it is not a problem.

It's to put it in perspective when folks try to act like crossing the border is a crime against humanity.
So when the economy is booming they do as good as S&P. I wonder how they'd compare in a recession. S&P:4% and VCs:?
> That doesn't mean we have known path to fusion for power generation.

Perhaps this was just a poor example, but we absolutely have a path to fusion power generation. ITER [0][2] is under construction now, and is expected to be capable of 10x power returns. DEMO [1] should have 25x.

I have to agree with sangnoir. I don't want to provide free engineering services. I want a working product. If you are explicit about component compatibility and provide a troubleshooting checklist (all ways it must be plugged in and turned on) then you should assume there is an issue. You should also treat the boards as interchangeable; if a board comes back, you test it and it's good, ship it out again.

A family friend will help me troubleshoot my electronics. So, I have seen the other side of this: I get something which is completely nonfunctional and send it back to the manufacturer who claims it is functional, and tries to bill me for the shipping both ways. That's why if I can not get a working replacement in 2wk or so I just send it back for refund.

For a real example: Are you using very well made power supplies? Maybe your board's power filtering could be better, and customers notice because they buy the cheapest supply that meets their power requirements.

It seems this thread and others like it has fueled a controversial honeypot, as some users are mass-downvoting comments that are perfectly in line with the content posted, simply because they stand for or against ousting Stallman, and others are doing the opposite -- mass upvoting comments that align with their predisposed view of the situation.

I'd like to take sometime however to reiterate that freedom applies to all views. The ability of a user to use software regardless of their personal beliefs or background, what they want to use it for, or against. The choice of usage is completely and wholly up to the user, they may modify it to their heart's content, and the community can use those modifications freely for their purposes. Restricting viewpoints you don't align with is completely antithetical to the purpose of having free-as-in-speech software, and it is truly a shame, regardless of how you interpret the situation, that the poster-boy for these ideals has fallen from his position due to alternate views.
Most people don't get promoted by saying they invested 100% of available assets in an S&P 500 index fund.

Short answer is yes for most workloads. It's fast, scalable and well supported.

WCF could operate over pipes which was cool for machine local IPC, but beyond that I think gRPC is superior.

But I asked your exact question to the dotnet team and architect David Fowler gave me a decent answer.

I mean yeah, but I want to know the general theme. I accidentally ordered Pine Nut ice cream in Mexico, it was delicious. (I expected pineapple, nope, something better!)

But even being willing to try interesting foods, I want to at least know I'll get something I can eat. I don't care if it is served with a side of stinky tofu and it is spicy enough to burn down a small forest, but there are certain foods I've tried (repeatedly!) and found out I don't like. I'll revisit them every few years and try again, but I don't want to order entrails 3x in a row by mistake.

But hey, turns out squid jerky is pretty good!

> Actually, my friends who don't use GPS got lost the first few times, but now know the city better than anyone.

Of course, but if I have to meet someone somewhere, I'll use GPS because "sorry I got lost exploring" is a crappy reason to delay someone else.

I'm more than willing to wander around places w/o GPS. But sometimes I actually need to get someplace.

Or heck, just get out of a Tokyo subway station. :) (Though some of the stations are a LOT of fun to get lost in!)

In Memphis, TN, black people commit more murders than about everyone else. They don't even report many of them since (a) tourism and (b) it's already most news stories. Most whites in poverty turn to drugs, do petty crimes, higher than national average suicide rate in some places, etc. Blacks, recently Latinos (esp cartels), were unique in doing all kinds of violence in their own communities plus others at random. Whites usually use violence on others externally to benefit their own group, esp via military. Most people writing comments like yours try to explain the difference with all kinds of stuff about oppression, environments, etc pinning blame in one place. Yet, the whites so oppressed they're doing drugs and/or killing themselves aren't murdering other people in their neighborhoods due to their oppressive environment nearly as much. The hard data argues a difference that's not from white people since they'd have been doing it first if it was.

I have a feeling most of you went to white schools or lived in white areas instead of black ones in bad places. Most in my area that went to the latter, including black folks, know where this comes from. I already described it here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20660278

You folks need to stop just dismissing all blame on the black side as "cops must just always make stuff up or police them harder." There's plenty of that worth calling out. However, the biggest hole in your argument is murder in high numbers. You can watch folks that don't kill people or who get shot all day in whatever selective way you want. In the end for poor neighborhoods, the black ones you watch will have committed many more murders hitting many more black victims than the white ones.

And, if gangs are involved, the dealers and killers will often be told they're in for life. They'll be perpetuating it in a way that has nothing to do with white people. And you should be calling them out hard on that if you really care about thugs getting arrested by cops and/or protecting their victims which are mostly black. Instead, it's whites (damage of some kind) blacks non-stop in your comments or the media vs thug culture from blacks murdering black people all the time. And, it seems, something like that with machismo and cartels in Latino areas. I have less experience with them, though. I didn't get to since we had to leave the neighborhood after a small confrontation led to one putting a contract on our heads that canceled (maybe) if we moved.

So, I'm calling bullshit unless you're saying there's both racist over-policing by cops (mostly but not all white) and thug culture coming from blacks creating killers that take out tons of blacks blacks. Something similar for Latino areas. Then, it fits the data.

Reasons, Why ML Is in Lime Light
If RMS had given 1/1000 the consideration to women's feelings as he did to internecine disputes within the FOSS community, he might still have his job today.
I met with Stallman once, in a room of two dozen people, around Stanford in 1987 or so .. I can tell you the "OSS" or whatnot you are referring to, existed in a very different world then. Stallman had a twenty minute talk, which was a strict and tightly worded explanation of the significance and reasoning behind his proposals. It was very much the utter opposite of a two line throw-away judge-and-jury declaration of conclusion, as seen above.
Funny, that was never my impression of the TI-83. In each menu, every item is numbered, and you can just hit the number to enter the corresponding item. I don't think there's anything that requires more than 5 button presses, and most of the common things can be gotten in 3.
That depends on which country you are born into. There are several million South American immigrants living undocumented in the US who would beg to differ with that statement. Likewise, there are many expats who've chosen staying with a company over staying in their country. Finding an employer that treats you well may be harder than finding a country that treats you well in many instances.
That is most definitely not racist though. Once we go there, we're basically trying to force ourselves to take a worldview that does not accurately represent reality.

If my classifier predicts that an Asian guy would probably eat rice, if it's accurate, is it racist?

The issue I'd have here isn't racism, it's when race dominates other features resulting in, in this case, poor recommendation quality/variety for Asians who prefer non-rice dishes or vice versa.
The U.S. army, while preventing the North from encroaching, were effectively sitting ducks and as the casualties grew so did the anti-war tide at home, until they pulled out and the south was left to their demise. The North, then separated when the U.S. arrived, bordered China, their arms supplier, and had thick jungle cover from the Ho Chi Min trail all the way to the south. While the U.S. took some pot shots at the North through bombing missions they "officially" were never invading.

This was an impossible situation from the beginning.

> South America guerrillas are unbeatable.

Bolivian insurgency failed, Guevara died. They don't always win.

The thing of it is the arms involved at the outset are irrelevant. You can't coerce a population largely unwilling to be controlled. Arms (including bombing devices) inevitably make their way into peoples hands. In the event of martial law things would fall into such disarray it's unsustainable.

I take issue with the idea that a population needs to be armed a priori with a specific set of weapons in order to repel a "tyranical government", which is a kind of boogeyman idea if I ever heard one. A tyrannical govt, comprised of a minority of people, versus the U.S. scenario is not a likely one. You'd sooner see a civil war, and even that's incredibly unlikely. But then I suppose you'd see gun regulation as evidence of tyranny.

The most tyrannical govt I can think of is the Chinese one and they have popular favor with their people. The HK situation shows that popular dissent is powerful with or without weapons.
Importance of machine learning in recent times
I still have my ti-85 and the serial link cable I built for it.
The term “open source software” was invented by Christine Peterson in 1998 (edit: thanks!) to distinguish from GPL-style free software.

Open source (inclusive of both) never really had any traction outside a few limited domains until the GNU project.

Case in point, I picked up a TI 83Plus for my son who was going into 7th grade this summer for $10 at Goodwill. It is in fine condition. It turns out that it isn't required, but I'm glad I did: he keeps it on his bed stand and tinkers with scripts at night. Its the one screen I won't regulate for him.
Ti calculators very easily store notes.

You save the name of the program in a certain format and it becomes an invisible file.

Add to this building your own apps to calculate common algebra, chemistry, etc. My high school allowed apps as long as we wrote it from scratch and were willing to risk our grades on it.
As you can see in this thread and everywhere else it’s been recently discussed, Stallnan’s actions have detracted from his message. Now we talk about pedophilia because that’s what RMS introduced to an environment that should be discussing free software. He failed his own message by doing that. No one else is to blame.
https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-install-amazon-appstore-o...

This article on how to install the Amazon App store and third party APKs pretty much sums up the situation. On the surface it seems like a great idea to allow third party apps, but in practice it actually leads to a degraded experience, viruses, and vulnerabilities, as evidenced by the editor’s note at the top of the article recommending against doing what the article is saying.
Love this, really fun idea.

> The article mentions the 'LA Complete Streets Official Guide' listing which streets the planners designated as arterial vs non-arterial - guess what, if there's a mismatch between the plan and how people can reach their destinations most efficiently, then it is the plan that's wrong and needs to change, not the drivers.

I think you are failing to differentiate between use and abuse. Roads have a specific purpose. Small, narrow side streets in dense, highly populated neighborhoods are not meant for heavy thru-traffic. Drivers using them for that purpose are, in fact, abusing them, at the expense of the people that live, walk, run, bicycle, and park in that neighborhood. In these instances, it is not that the city planners were wrong. The plan wasn't wrong. The drivers heedlessly barreling down streets never meant for that are in the wrong.

> it's not the fault of drivers that this road doesn't suit their needs.

You can't always get what you want. The desire to get to work 5 minutes faster doesn't overrule the right of people to have safe streets to live on. Unnecessarily diverting loads of drivers onto roads not meant to handle them is unethical.
>"As software engineers, we have to abide by some sort of moral compass," Vargo told The Register at the time. "When I learned that my code was being used for purposes that I perceive as evil, I had to act."

The key here is "purposes that I perceive as evil". The list of those purposes knows no bounds, and will extend to as far as the developer deems so. Organizations should keep this mind the next time they want to use open-source software -- does our use-case sit in line with whatever the maintainers/developers' moods are that day?
