Trying to discard and ignore all the violent actions, and actions that look very anti-China by claiming that they are "fomented" by the government is not serious.

One day we read an interview with a guy who took part in the storming of the LegCo and everybody here is in awe before its determination. The next, someone criticise violent actions and you guys claim that they are by government' agents provocateurs...

And every day I can watch BBC reporters following violent protests from within.

There is nothing wrong with admitting that some forms of protest are hurting the cause of democracy.
So where did these conversations go? Just curious if she is heading back more aware or more confused.

I'm just pissed off with owning stuff taking up space that doesn't work. I REALLY don't need a washing machine that doesn't work taking up space in my home.

You're quite right: price is not a good guide to quality. But I am beginning to think that "consumer" products fail much sooner than "industrial" products. So I'm thinking that my next utility room will be kitted out with industrial washers. Stuff the "consumer" stuff where it don't shine.

The whole thing is a bit sad. We could have a real discussion about net neutrality. We could talk about how 5G probably will need different kinds of connections with different latency or reliability and that if you are building a normal Web service you probably don't need all that while some other services obviously do. And such specific improvement maybe should cost a bit more.

But no. Because all ISPs will use non net neutrality for is to push more expensive subs on people without really offering something better to them. Or push out competition of their own services.
Who in general would support Ait the way he behaves? He is so obviously a corporate ISP spokesperson, even without looking at his resume.

Both French and Japanese HSR were/are financial black holes that bankrupted the relevant railway companies. French TGV is nice but again, stations are often far outside the city centres.

ARM, a British Company, owned by Japanese Funds.

P.S - I means no offence in case any Brits got the wrong end of the stick. Just genuinely curious.

Wow I live just a couple of miles from here, down the road in the next village! I run by this stone a few times a week. It's well-known locally and I think it's mainly pre-teen couples carving their initials in. The rest of the park isn't treated with any disrespect so it's not just people being terrible in general. People keep stealing that brass inscription by it, though, which is a bit more troublesome. That's probably organised metal thieves rather than locals.

The ridge is I think the highest part of the Wirral and has commanding views over the Irish sea and the beginning of the mountains of north Wales, where it's certainly likely people would gather for ceremonies. It feels like a bit of an intersection of England, Ireland, and Wales. But this rock itself is set back from that in a hollow so isn't in as interesting a location.

I proposed to my wife in the country house of which this stone is in the grounds of, too.
And so does Oracle. You usually only pay if it's in production. But again - at some point there needs to be some mechanism to catch people who don't pay. All other alternatives seem to be more aggressive and worse.
Mistakes I Made as a First-Time UX Manager
It is a status report in companies doing "Scrum" - usually after CTO paid an Agile-with-a-capital-A consultant.

I've been a bit of volunteer agile coaching in my area, and yeah, one example that always stuck with me was that the product managers and BAs just got renamed product owners, and they sat in every retro and attended every stand-up.

Funnily enough they were never available to the team during planning. They had important meetings on a Monday...

I tried to empathise to them that "stand-up and retro are solely for the team", but no dice. They still wanted that command and control.

Perhaps my reading of the situation is way off, but at the risk of making a fool of myself:

My understanding is that Monica wanted to use gender neutral pronouns throughout her writing as a general case, but that this was deemed "not good enough" (or indeed hateful) in the cases where someone has chosen specific pronouns. So I suppose this is what the GP is referring to. And I can't argue that it seems like a rather extreme position - although I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise.
My lab purchased a digital color frame buffer in 1980 for 30K. That would be around 150K in current prices. It had a screen buffer of 512 by 512 of one byte, i.e. quarter megabyte memory. It was dual port- write to memory, read onto display. Memory price was the bottle neck then. Four years after that the Apple Mac came out with 1/8 megabyte B/W memory for $3K, e.g. arguably the first consumer graphics computer. Again its price was memory bound.
It's open to interpretation? Not that it's an ideal measuring system, but all those units should have unambiguous metric equivalents.

Why should they? There is not a lot of money to be gained from renting niche product in comparison to enormous capital expenditure for anything hardware related.

Lot's of dotcom companies burned themselves badly while chasing trendsetters with custom silicon. A cookie cutter 40nm SoC may cost "just" 10M today, but by involving yourself into custom silicon game you risk loosing in it. Not to mention that your operations troubles will increase n-fold.

Managing operations of hosting business with hundreds of thousands customer is hard enough. Logistics, server lifecycle, DC management, managing procurement contracts with unruly OEMs... Now try to dock all troubles you have with chipmakers to it. It will become a nightmare.
I can't help but feel that NCoC isn't scaleable. "Let's all be reasonable" is a great strategy when a handful of people are working on something and they are all more interested in getting the job done than talking about it. But it runs straight into the fact that there actually are people - particularly in the open source community that are perfectly willing to shout abuse at other contributors until they quit: https://adtmag.com/blogs/dev-watch/2014/04/linus-torvalds-ra...
I don't think there's a lot to say about this, you want the pretraining on a large dataset and on a task that's similar to yours. Probably largeness is somewhat more important. These things aren't an exact science at this point.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

As far as I can see, their options are:

- Keep using datasets largely made up of white college kids and stock photo models, and be accused of racism because their image recognition systems don't work so well for other demographics

- Specifically seek out other demographics to broaden their datasets, and be accused of racism for it

- ...stop trying to make any kind of system that deals with images of humans?

> we just didn't talk much about it publicly

"just"? Not being able to say something in public is like not being able to say it at all. What you just talk about with your friends or family is as relevant to the public sphere as your private thoughts are.
I think it is exactly based in science.

Clinical tests for vaccines do not follow golden standard that any other pharmaceutical products have to follow. Vaccines are never tested against inert placebo. No pharmacocynetic studies were ever done and are not required. Manufacturers are exempt form being liable. Any parents reporting any side effects are ridiculed. Epidemiological studies done on the subject are just bad.

But if you portray people asking this question as "anti-intellectual anti-science cult-like group" then you won the discussion because you prevented any rational and scientific discussion from even taking a place. A job well done.
That's why there's tamper-evidence - my phone displays a message stating it's rooted on boot.

Thanks. I might be too young (being ~30), but I never understood why people use the labels "left" and "right". As you say, they're not very informative; doubly so, if you talk in an international setting (like HN), with US "left" and "right" being different than Europe's "left" and "right". But even in the past, I don't remember any time when they were accurate. Personally, I hate them and much prefer to talk about particular issues. I only brought "alt-right" because Wikipedia puts it in the definition of fascism.

As an aside to aside, if we take that Wikipedia definition: "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy" - and if we strip it off "far-right" and "nationalism", we're left with "authoritarianism" + "dictatorial power" + "regimentation". Not sure about the last one, but "dictatorial power" doesn't seem to me to fit the SJW movement. There are few prominent figures wielding some amount of influence, but they've already fallen out of favor. When I look at it, it feels like authoritarianism, except the authority at the top is missing. Just a bunch of people willing to disrupt a community bottom-up for an idea.

Come to think of it, it actually smells like a bottom-up, secular flavor of a cult. I grew up in a religion which is sometimes classified as a cult, and the way the SJWs manage to insert themselves into a group and suddenly turn the focus from whatever it was originally about into a focus on race or gender issues very much resembles what I've seen (and sometimes done) in that group. Except that dismissing some discussion because "God's Kingdom will soon come and put an end to that problem, so it's more important to talk about how to be in that Kingdom than about that problem" doesn't work anywhere as well as the equivalent with gender.

So are the users (giving their time), both more and less experienced ones. But I would rather have a forum with a duplicate or two, than a forum where you cannot ask (a different question) because it is constantly closed off as a duplicate - sometimes in the time while you are writing an explanation of how it is different than the other one - by a mod who hasn't taken the time to understand the difference. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

And while I agree that some amount of moderation is necessary, it has long ago crossed that limit.

Mods should moderate in moderation, not to the extreme.

Just the other day I asked a question regarding Windows and Android around 12h (midday), and spend until 23h that day discussing with a mod, whether it should be moved to a site that deals exclusively with Android questions (and where it would be closed/offtopic because of the Windows part), or closed on the site where it was asked for being offtopic, because of the Android part.

That they - the mods - haven't understood the question became obvious only when we settled that discussion, and when they attempted to answer it themselves.

This is just a trivial example. But it shows the current state of affairs.

AWS gpu compute is extremely expensive. If this is due to datacenter licensing costs, I hope they come out with their own hardware soon to reduce these costs. If on the otherhand, it's because their value-add is not in renting out the hardware but burst scalability, then I'm less optimistic that they'd cannibalize their own cloud product.

Currently, it only takes about 1 month to break even if you buy a consumer gpu like the rtx 2080ti, compared with AWS time. For training purposes it doesn't seem to make sense.

- just looked up the numbers and google tpus are pretty similar in terms of pricing. I think any aws equivalent would probably be just as expensive compared to a diy pc.

Which correlates with what I've observed: they're all young. I don't think I've seen a social justice activist older than 30-35. I wonder why that may be?

> It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple decades. Especially in light of the surprises that climate change may bring. Such as perhaps millions of immigrants coming north as drought reduces agricultural productivity.

Interesting, yes, but it's the flavor of "interesting" that scares the hell out of me. Dealing with climate issues requires cooperation, and it seems that in spite of all the social and technological advancements we've made, we're at historical low point of humanity's ability to coordinate.

I thought we're talking about the underground power lines that go from a transformer to the house.

Later edit. Ok, that makes sense. For some reason I read it as "upgrading the residential grid to support the extra load of EV charging". There are already HV power distribution lines spanning the country. I understand building new transmission towers would be a NIMBY topic but is it a given that they can't be upgraded to expand the capacity over the same towers?
Huawei looks like it has a strong game here:

They kidnapped one person, as far as I know. I agree they crossed the line there, and there's no excuse for that. But that's an exception, not the norm.

Where's the evidence they are behind that? How are they forcing the HK government's hand?

> They have said HKers have freedom, and yet they call us terrorists and cockroaches for exercising it.

You have the freedom to peaceful demonstrations an protests, not violence or destruction. And the CCP most certainly did not call you cockroaches, some angry mainlanders maybe, but not the CCP.

kudos! i got similar problems with optimizing recipes & groceries, but i never got past google keep and apple reminder.

anyway, a word of caution about open sourcing. people are quick to scream that you make the source available. but what about this? an article/blog describing in more details how you solved the problem instead? few people ever ask that.

what i saw with open source is, once you put the code out there, people will start requesting features, making you carry the burden of maintenance, etc. but ofc there are good things too. i just haven't seen it with small niche projects.

my 2 cents.
I cannot understand how anyone puts up with measuring stuff by volume (other than liquids). 1 cup of flour is a hugely variable amount depending on how compressed it is. Don't even get me started on heaped cups. For baking in particular where everything needs to be very precise, it's bonkers to see recipes without weight measurements.
