I'm not an expert on the US system, but I believe ratification implies some sort of agreement.

I also believe there is an amendment process - ie it has changed over time and each of those changes is through some sort of democratic process...

So the debate and negotiation still goes on, even if it changes slowly.
Just a notice: I am currently seeing it on Amazon for higher than $1
love to see that.
Sorry, but that's not what a brain is doing. A brain is a self-sustaining organ, using a vast multitude of inputs, outputs, and interconnects to affect its surroundings.

"AI" is severely limited in both its inputs and outputs, has virtually no interconnects, but most importantly: it is not a self-sustaining organ. Wake me up when we have implemented RNNs on a dynamic, auto-sensing, auto-actuating FPGA grid.
The tournament was already over, and he had won. They took back his prize money.
"The controller (which history suggests will one day be called the DualShock 5, though Cerny just says "it doesn't have a name yet") does have some features Cerny's more interested in acknowledging. One is "adaptive triggers" that can offer varying levels of resistance to make shooting a bow and arrow feel like the real thing—the tension increasing as you pull the arrow back—or make a machine gun feel far different from a shotgun. It also boasts haptic feedback far more capable than the rumble motor console gamers are used to, with highly programmable voice-coil actuators located in the left and right grips of the controller."

I didn't think of having haptic feedback in the ps5 controllers. It's going to be interesting on how it will turn out.
I don’t see how they conflict. Your co-workers sound like they’re advocating their own ethnic interests via the party in each country that best supports these.
I think the biggest is from the rest of the world. We are complicit because we happily buy goods from such a horrible regime. We need an international boycott on China until they shape up.

Ideological. Communism and human rights violation are seen as acceptable due to a specific worldview. Demonstrating the error with the worldview can change people's minds and lead to internal regime change.
Capitulation is not avoiding a power struggle. It is an outcome.
Uh that's not even what I'm saying. Of course Europe itself contributed to it's success and wellbeing too. I was saying the alternative of Nazi or Soviet influence probably would not have turned out as well. Also using your train of thought, because the Nazis made scientific advancements they are "good"?

I was saying that whatever system the US promoted after WW2, it worked out pretty well for most of us. Europe and the US have protected press, free thought, science advancements. People can watch/read what they want. There are problems but it's def a collection of good societies. So idk what your issue is?

Or psychotherapy. For some reason, a LOT of people that I've known to eventually to go become therapists, first have dabbled in tarot, runes and other magical divination. And since their intention was honest intent to help people and they were intelligent enough, progression to moden therapy seemed very appropriate.
Same, the pain in the voices got to me.
Is that true? Seems they are doing a lot in Africa. And even if it were, it's hard to believe they'll treat foreigners any better than their own people.
Yeah, it's a tricky situation. This could be dismissed with the phrase "freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences" that gets bandied about when certain people get deplatformed.

By going after Blizzard for suspending this guy for his speech, you're saying that you care more about the targets than the action. That certain actions are ok as long as we're hurting the right people.

So that's what they actually have to defend. They can't hide behind "free speech" now that it's speech they support. They have to make the case as to why this speech should get a pass while other speech should not.

tl;dr:

(1) Unlock exclusive content based on reading progress

(2) Include integrated discussion forums for each book where kids can discuss the content and their experience

(3) Include tests and quizzes about the content (and win prizes)

(4) Enable kids to earn the ability to publish their own work

(5) Include “hackable” books where kids of all ages can mash up the story and content

(6) Easily enable parents to incentivize kids with real-world rewards

All of these seem reasonable (which is not to say I necessarily endorse them). I am skeptical of #2 however. I believe it is good for kids to discuss what they read, but I think if I were a parent, depending on the age of the child, I'd be concerned about who my child is interacting with in the forums, and I could see it becoming a distraction from actually reading books.

There was in fact a film about it. I watched it twice and enjoyed it both times.

Everyone has their quirks. If a friend breaks down crying on any mention of arbor day because their spouse died on arbor day... Someone might consider that response to be irrational, overly emotional, and/or inconvenient. But it would still be really unkind to fail to accommodate the friend. After all, it's easy to avoid mentioning arbor day 99.999% of the time.

Life is hard for everyone, at least at times. When we can do something painless to avoid giving someone a bad day even if its an act that would be meaningless to us, why shouldn't we?

Admitting that doesn't mean we're also required to accommodate when it's actually a problem, or that we're awful people if we don't know, forget, or make a mistake. It doesn't mean that we agree with or endorse their quirks... it's just a simple act of kindness and respect.

It's also efficient, because there is almost always something better to get done than navigate some other person's emotional minefield that we avoidably upset.
Which is still a huge ask for most developers, especially if those 10 hours need to be within normal business hours. It's hard enough to apply, prep for coding challenges and interview whilst employed full-time. Why go through all of that for an extra $250/wk? That's like 2-3 hours of a senior bay area engineer's time.

I have a hard time believing that they're getting the absolute best engineers using this strategy, but who knows.
> "well, just 30 more years, and the world's going to end after that anyway."

I don't think that kind of exaggeration is productive. People have been saying that for decades, and now climate change deniers are using it as evidence for the whole thing being overblown, even though we're already suffering from the effects of climate change and they're getting progressively worse

It's not technically going to be the end of the world, it'll just be a much crappier world for most of the people living on it
I feel like there are different levels here. The Bnetd thing was unfortunate, but still an exceptionally first-world problem. People being beaten to death in the streets may warrant a bit wider reaction.

Do you really believe that all the people actually incarcerated in these "re-education camps" will actually be killed directly or indirectly (forced labour, starvation) ?

If it is the case then I agree it would be comparable to holocaust or other genocides. But it is not what is happening at the moment, and I am convinced it won't happen (there has been no mass murdering in Tibet afaik)
Nearly every time that I google a git command, it's something related to tags.
i'm on board with a boycott of blizzard and also activision.

we can't continue with appeasement of a totalitarian state bent on controlling the discourse of the world if we want to claim that we are a democracy.

unless we're willing to lose money to stay true to our ideals, our ideals aren't real whatsoever.
Supporting HK protests is very different from falsely claiming that the hiring bar was lowered for women (it said this in the doc, I know enough people at Google who participate in hiring committee to know that it was a false statement).
At the risk of being labeled one myself... there are no examples. I've seen dang respond to complaints like this many times and every time it was real people with real profiles being accused of shills, trolls etc.

Also, if you look it up it's almost all politics threads wrt China this year on HN with overwhelming anti-China sentiment, yet here we are, arguing about pro-China influence being too strong.

Then the question is no longer about how many shills are objectively out there that can be quantifiably measured, because this fact is obviously not what people have been basing their accusations on, but what results in the very question of shills being raised in the first place.

The only theory I can think of would be Chomsky's fifth filter, that is, a common external enemy that helps maintain consensus and divert ideological stress from internal antagonism, be it terrorists, Russian trolls, Chinese shills. This is compounded by the universalist belief that it is impossible to hold "genuine" political thoughts other than the End of History liberal democracy project, which is in itself beset on all sides already, making it all more intense.
You can believe that censorship in general is appropriate at times, and that there are inappropriate ways to use it.

Censoring racists and serial harassers isn't the same as censoring pro-democracy activists.
In principle, but otoh it makes a lot of sense to train with the same stuff you use for real.

That being said, recently non-flourinated firefighting foams have been developed (based on some sugars IIRC), so there's hope these will be able to replace the old stuff.
It more than "looks like" Blizzard is taking China's side. They have outright said that they are in their chinese language statement

The player will be banned from the tournament,and the casters will never be granted the chance to cast any official tournament from now on. Besides,we will firmly PROTECT THE PRIDE OF THE COUNTRY just like what we always do.

I just explained this to my mother, who is 80 and has dementia, and this is what she said:

"That's silly."

"It's only going to make people around the world watch it."

"A country the size of China with the power that they have and they mess up on a tiny insult."
Which marginalized group, when fighting "to make this country what it is", hasn't been opposed and mocked (e.g. "whiny little babies) by the status quo at the time of their fight?
That's about what I'd expect at the current level of GPT-2. It is very good in some dimensions, but terrible in others, e.g., right there at the beginning: "Blacks make up 1/8 of the world's population, but they account for only a 3/10 of global economic power." - GPT is very bad at math [1], it gets the structure of arguments involving math or numbers but doesn't understand the numbers, so right off there's a massive unforced error in this controversial statement in which it complains that 12.5% of the world's population has "only" 30% of the power, undercutting the whole thing from the getgo and making something that was a good start to a "controversial" statement completely fall apart into farce due to a simple error. It does this sort of thing pervasively. It's clear that GPT-2 is touching controversial topics but it's failing to put together controversial sentences.

I suspect that the sort of thing that Scott discusses in this story isn't quite possible, at the full described power... but certainly if AI gets better than GPT-2, it'll get better at this too.

I'm a freelance developer with 7 years of experience. I specialize in helping early stage companies bring their ideas to life as new apps and websites. Beyond creating a beautiful app with you, I'll make sure we're measuring the right things so you can get the best outcomes. I build apps to allow quick iteration and short feedback loops. My experience at startups has taught me how to pick the right features to build and validate quickly, which saves you money and time. I can help you integrate marketing, analytics, and sales to get the most out of your creation. One of the first companies I worked with, SwoopSrch, I helped take their rough idea of what they wanted to an MVP in a weekend. Then I spent a year helping them iterate on the idea. I spent a few years at Rackspace building massively scalable cloud infrastructure and making open source contributions to OpenStack. Then, I started as the first engineer at a startup, Triggr Health, building apps to help people in addiction recovery and help with mental health issues. One of my freelance clients was the University of Maryland, who I helped migrate some Flash apps to React and handle some challenging performance issues. Another client is HealthJay, who I helped to build an app to track seniors and detect falls. I built an Apple Watch app for them, as well as a React Native app (which also detects falls), a React back office app, and a Node backend.

I've got experience with:

- React Native

- React

- iOS/Android native development

- NodeJS

- Javascript and Typescript

- Python

- Django

- OpenStack, AWS, Ansible, DevOps

It really is about free speech, though. What if my religion decrees that your vegetables are poisonous?

'free speech' also includes zero-evidence claims, and even lies! Freedom of speech == Freedom of fake news.
It's just an IDE interface. You can buy USB or PCI-express adapters for $20 or so.
The parent poster isn't claiming that certain issues are more or less pressing than others. Rather, we, as ordinary citizens, have zero control. Individual acts of protest are not working and do not change these companies' behaviors.
I'll say, I was a bit of a dick to you in my response. So sorry. You clarified your stance a bit.

But, you're falling into the trap. Every time "re-education" camps have popped up in history, bad things happened. Very bad things. You don't give the benefit of the doubt to this. The organization in question always claimed the whole "we're just helping" and other bullshit.

Ever meet a habitual liar? Someone that just lies and twists facts constantly. Even when they don't have to. Gives you an aneurysm from having to deal with their constant bullshit? It's more for their own sociopathic dominance ego rather than just the situation's consequences. But they just twist and manipulate every fact or try to skirt around issues with rhetoric. A reason why lots of folks hate lawyers, because that's literally their job to re-interpret facts and laws to suite an outcome (yes, not all lawyers are like that, a bit of a generalization, but it's to communicate a point). That is what is happening here.

They're not detainment camps, we are re-educating people here, to be proper Chinese citizens. No, Chinese people don't die here.

This can be valid statement and millions of people could be buried under the floor boards. China has a wonderful practice of making people "non-people" or we westerners would just view that concept as "non-Chinese". One example was during the 1 child policy, child 2, 3 and so on, wouldn't be granted Chinese citizenship, even though they were born in China, by Chinese parents. So, if you have an ethnic group you don't consider Chinese, because you can "take that away"... well of course they don't kill or harvest from Chinese people!

This is how communists communicate. This is soviet old hat doctrine. There are no Russian spies in America. Yes, because technically they're Soviets. There is no problem with any Russian nuclear power plants. Yea, because it was in the Ukraine. Or how about a shit ton of that denial from the recent blast in August until forced to admit it? Got to love their wording though on the people killed: “A bright memory of our comrades will forever live in our hearts." They died in an explosion... bright memory...that's fucked up by the way.

Lying without lying. We all use to make fun of this shit in the 90s and early 2000s. What happened in the 2010s? How did we all forget that communist regimes are the best at double speak? The only way to deal with this is call out their bullshit for exactly what it is and not back down.
I favor the "source available = source available" and "open source = open source (by the commonly understood open source definition)". It's much clearer that way, and wasn't really a muddy issue until certain big software companies started using "open source = source available"

My gut reaction is that if Venezuela is apart of any of the international trade laws then it'd still be illegal but there's essentially no way in practice you'd get in trouble for it (Assuming you're a Venezuelan citizen and you aren't like blatantly selling it in the street or something).

My pihole isn't running on a "client" machine, though it is running on a VM on the home router/server just to keep it entirely separate to aid maintenance. A container would do the job too. I was just pointing out that the OP wouldn't need new hardware to set up pihole.

And in my case the VPN is not just for accessing my ad-/malware- blocking DNS resolver, but also for accessing other local resources and for general paranoia (nothing goes over the mobile network or public/guest WiFi unencrypted). Useful extra feature: because payment processors think I'm at home I'm bothered less by extra identity verification steps than I would be if my source address and therefore derived location changed regularly.

DNS traffic going through the VPN stops the network intercepting and forcing it through their resolver anyway (I'm looking at you, Sky) and means that I don't have to make my DNS resolver visible to the unwashed masses.

So I'm not just being obtuse. IMO, anyway.

You can do very much with very little when you force yourself to be constrained. Of course that doesn't mean everything works without dialogue, but many things are different in ways that may sometimes be better.

Watch City Lights, by Chaplin, for example. One of the last great silent movies. You can argue it could have been funnier with more dialogue (it has some in the form of intertitles). Maybe it would. But it wouldn't have been made that way with more dialogue. Many of the scenes are structured the way they are because dialogue isn't there as an easy out of situations, and forced Chaplin to think long and hard about how to show instead of having characters tell. I'm sure the same story can be done well with talking characters, but it's not a given at all it'd have been better, because the script would almost certainly have been very different.

The most famous example from City Lights is probably the scene where Chaplin gets mistaken for a rich man by a blind girl selling flowers, which is a major setup for the rest of the movie.

Chaplin struggled with it for ages, because he felt he needed to actually give a reason to explain why she'd think he was rich.

The solution is beautifully simple: Chaplin steps through a car to avoid a police officer, and slams the door, both signalling his presence to the girl and signalling initial wealth (the movie was filmed in 1928/9). We (and he) learns that she is blind by seeing her not realize he's picked up the flower (there's one line of text there), he pays her, and as he has just handed her effectively the last money he has, the owner of the car enters and the car drives off, leaving the girl to think Chaplin did not wait for his change, giving her further reason to assume his wealth (there's another intertitle with one line there).

It took weeks of filming over several periods to get it right; both because Chaplin struggled with finding the right mechanism, as well as because he insisted on showing her blindness realistically (and so he rejected a whole slew of actresses he didn't believe could realistically portray being blind). With dialogue it'd be so easy to cop out and use some dialogue to cause the confusion.

As it stands City Light is frequently considered one of the best movies of all time.

The scene in question is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCPGFTp0vmo
