You are correct that the walled garden contributes to security by creating "another hurdle" for attackers to overcome.

Nobody is arguing that Apple's approach isn't more secure; they are arguing that the tradeoff (an additional layer of security vs. the right to install the software of your choice in a computing device you paid for) is not worth.

There are countless examples of this. Requiring everyone to strip completely naked to get on an airplane would absolutely act as an additional hurdle for a person with nefarious intent, but we don't do that because we acknowledge that there must be a fundamental tradeoff between our safety and our freedoms.
Is “how to own a slave?” one of the topics? Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, etc. And of course Luke 12:47-48, where Jesus condones slave beatings. The Bible is practically a slave owner’s manual.
There are three B2B value props: revenue growth, cost reduction and mitigating risk. Everything else is a proxy for those things. If you can materially impact one of those things, ideally in a situation where 1. You have a track record for it and 2. You can demonstrate the value is measureable, you'll generally get paid a piece of it. The question is generic, so I thought I'd post a generic answer. People would spend the most on solving a particular problem that occurs once in the evolution of the company, and therefore doesn't make sense / isn't strategic to bring in-house. They do that anytime they have that kind of issue, across those functions. In terms of earnings, though, it really comes back to those three value props and two traits (track record and measurement).
There's no reason for them to not give it, as it's an easy item to address.

The sandbox of minecraft I think offers some more exciting and unique possibilities for AR.
I experienced what was apparently “state of the art” AR at E3 this year. It was Unreal Garden using HoloLens. If you’ve never tried AR, you’re not missing anything. The experience was that of looking at a minuscule and low res lcd screen a few inches from your face. Not only is it awkward at first but the visuals aren’t very clear and the headset is very bulky. I would argue AR through an iPhone camera is much better.

In fact AR is especially bad compared to VR where the experience is fully immersive. With AR you get a confused blurry reality where you can literally see the seams and this messes with your brain that something isn’t right.

I could imagine a universal paperclips style game where the initial interface was literally just a solid color. That resolved over time as you moved your mouse or typed, slowly gaining fidelity and using the randomness of your movements to dynamically fill in some color scheme. (So it would eventually resolve to a game space, but one that was uniquely colored by your actions.)

Conway's game of life often starts with nothing. You could pretty easily start with literally just a white screen.

I could imagine some stuff that's probably closer to generative art starting from nothing.

You could have a sea of noise that you sort of collect into a shape, which eventually becomes your avatar. I think about a game like Warning Forever played pretty well with the concept of starting with (almost) nothing.

> 10,000 feet. Night vision is now degraded by 15-25 percent. The blood saturation has dropped to 90 percent and your brain is receiving the absolute minimum supply of oxygen. This is the absolute highest altitude at which you should haveany trust at all in your own performance although your judgment is already severely compromised. Euphoria will prevent true self-assessment of your abilities. Physical hypoxic symptoms such as tingling and headache may not become apparent for four hours ormore at this altitude, although judgment has long gone by the wayside. Above 10,000 feetblood oxygen saturation and performance degrade steeply.

> 14,000 feet. Blood oxygen saturation is down to a dangerous85%. You will be increasingly disabled at this altitude. Vision will dim. You willexperience serious degradation of judgment, memory and thought. The impairment of judgmentwill leave you feeling just fine and confident in your performance, however. If hypoxia isnot recognized and corrected at this stage of impairment, it is unlikely that it will berecognized. You are in serious danger.

16,000 feet. Only 2,000 feet higher than the last assessment, but you will behave as though you had ingested a full load of gin and tonics. Your blood oxygen saturation will have dropped to 79 percent and you will be seriously disabled. Youwill be euphoric, belligerent, disoriented or perhaps all three. You will be irrational,unreliable and dangerous. If you are alone, your chances of survival are decreasingrapidly.

> 18,000 feet. At this altitude you are incapable of any usefulfunction although you may still feel great! Blood saturation has fallen to 71 percent andyour brain is suffering. You will pass out in about 30 minutes.

> 20,000 feet. If you have not already collapsed, it will not belong now. Five to 15 minutes is about the time of useful consciousness at this altitude and prolonged exposure can result in death. Blood saturation has dropped to 71%.

> 25,000 feet. Forget it! Blood saturation has now dropped to lethal levels. Time of useful consciousness is three to six minutes with death followingnot long after that. Above this altitude, suffering a rapid decompression may also result in a condition divers know as the bends and various other pressure related maladies. Remember, this is only HALF as high as some modern civilian aircraft are certified to fly!

Hell, whatever that process is, I might even use it in a Mac (if I had one), just because I have Xcode so much.

It’s weird there’s a real gray area. If you started as Metal many later punk bands had reverence for you if say you happened to be Ozzy or Lemmy. Then, just as the article suggests, many of the Metal bands claimed Punk as an influence. I’ve even heard a punk band angrily do a bunch of Slayer covers back to back because me and my friends weren’t into them enough. Needless to say there is some competitiveness between purist DIY aggression and hedonism taken to another level.

With the new server backend that has been released where you can add remove books and modify metadata etc. It would be lot easier to build a different frontend. The Calibre Dev is quite open to take patches that increase functionality without taking away previous functionality so he would be probably open to adding more functions in the server.
Also helpful would be doctors who actually perform the kinds of general exploratory tests you are alluding to the existence of. I’ve never encountered one. I usually need to beg for extremely specific tests to be done but rarely do they agree to perform them. Even a bribe of thousands of dollars paid in cash under the table on the spot is still not enough to get them to comply with simple requests for specific tests. Where do you live?

The first two are already worth it alone. No ads double the monetary value in my mind, and on demand is by far the most important part. Sure you can sorta fix that with a DVR but not even really.
After using Netflix for so long, the quantity of ads on even the paid form of Hulu is unpleasant and I avoid it, will not be renewing.

The hidden point here is that with cable, you didn't really have the option but to get a 100$ package, and especially with the lack of on-demand, it made it much harder to watch all the shows you wanted.

Here, you can pick and choose much better, and even if you have shows you want on every single service, you can very easily rotate with on-demand.
Hardly, that is more of a hack. There is however a distributed, clustered version of sqlite: Bloomberg's Comdb2. It has the same scaling factors as e.g. percona, can be Geo-replicated (multi-roomed) and has many advanced timing and financial data types. Plus SQL functions can be written in Lua. Oh, and it has super granular serialization guarantees, up to and including full linearizibility.

By using Sqlite as the SQL frontend, it retains features other NewSQL engines struggle with (recursive CTE, deep optimization, compatibility with existing queries etc)
> They will get more reliable

The road to higher reliability is a slow one when we are talking about cloud-level 9s. I get the feeling they are still in the early stages of adopting a B2B culture and everything that comes with that.

For example, the June global network outage was caused by a software bug that had global implications. AWS moved away from building software that crossed region boundaries years ago, I would guess because they had an issue like this one. It feels like GCP is many mistakes behind AWS.

Cloud reliability isn't due to genius, it's just software+infrastructure that has been improved again and again in response to new failure modes. I think it will be several years before GCP has reliability that is comparable to what AWS has today.
Nathalie – electric with methanol power cell
Funny you should mention Ozzy and Lemmy. Motorhead was grouped in the thrash metal camp and got lots of respect for never selling out; mid-80s Ozzy on the other hand was seen as pop metal has-been pandering to the hair metal masses. That may have changed as people rediscovered early Black Sabbath and gained a grudging respect for Ozzy's work with Randy Rhoads.

Another interesting case is Glen Danzig after he left The Misfits. I saw Danzig perform in 1988 and was warned it would be "metal" but it was really heavy and slow, more like Black Sabbath and played by guys who looked like snarling barbarians. Even though all these kids had on their Misfit T shirts the crowd was really into it, because it was so good.
I listened to a podcast today where they guy being interviewed said something to the effect of:

"We like to say that humans are the tool-using animal, but we've found that lots of animals use tools. What I think is the actual advantage of humans is that we are the mimicking animal. We see what works for other animals and find ways to do the same thing without having to evolve those traits"

I thought that was a really interesting way of thinking about it.
They are all Turing machines, all that matters is can I run my algorithm at higher performance than equivalent priced conventional solutions.
I think the value in WireGuard is that by making things simple enough, you can do the "hard" parts manually, and thus don't need all this fragile machinery around it.
What about Hynix? Didn't they drive all of the the Japanese semiconductor makers out of business? I know it was a national/political move, but it was still dumping.

Much of that debt is the result of infrastructure projects and a large savings demand by the population. Sure they could have done much better in investing that debt (to help with paying it off later), but it would have still been there even if they did (since the demand was there unless they pushed it out into the stock market or American treasuries).
"Holmes — who dropped out of Stanford University at 19 to found Theranos — and Balwani face maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and a $2.75 million fine, plus possible restitution, the Department of Justice has said.

Civil case lawyers not being paid. Criminal lawyers may be getting paid. Priorities.
Scumbags never change. Did her attorneys honestly think Holmes would balk at stiffing them when she already proved willing and able to shaft Theranos' investors and employees?

Show me where I said that.

If it wasn't already obvious from the rest of your message it's obvious from this that you have no MMA experience and are guessing at everything. In a dark alley against a single person the best possible outcome would be to get on top with their belly down and use a blood choke which puts them out. That would be a submission, because in the gym you would stop when they tap.

Everything else you said is so nonsensical I can't follow it enough to respond to it.

Yeah, seems like you're correct here.

I went back and re-read the pre-print here (https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~noamb/papers/19-Science-Superhuman.p...). On page 2:

> To reduce the complexity of forming a strategy, Pluribus only considers a few different bet sizes at any given decision point. The exact number of bets it consid-ers varies between one and 14 depending on the situation. Although Pluribus can limit itself to only betting one of a few different sizes between $100 and $10,000, when actually play-ing no-limit poker, the opponents are not constrained to those few options. What happens if an opponent bets $150 while Pluribus has only been trained to consider bets of $100 or $200? Generally, Pluribus will rely on its search algorithm, described in a later section, to compute a response in real time to such “off-tree” actions.

Good catch, and thanks for the correction.

Regarding the effect of stack sizes, I'm not certain on this, but my intuition is that there is some effect on perceived ranges of the other 5 players at the table if stack sizes vary. Since Facebook AI will not be releasing Pluribus code or pre-trained models/weights, we can't be certain, but things like stack-to-pot (SPR) ratio would seem to matter.

Of course, you could always make the argument that human players in a cash game can re-up/refill to the maximum buy-in whenever they're short, but that's another discussion altogether.

Bootstrapped, profitable, very rapidly growing B2B tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients.

If you enjoy dealing with very smart clients in a somewhat technical and fast-paced environment, this role may be for you. The Survey Director exercises 3 different skill sets:

1. Client management/communication skills: Interact with clients all the time

2. Business acumen: Learn about different industries/niches and transfer learning across projects

3. Technical skills: Never-ending supply of short coding puzzles (think <10 lines)

This is not a software engineering role, but some coding familiarity is required. It's a tough role, but super interesting work!

I think open-source software is great as well, but assuming these kind of bugs are found because you can inspect the code is very wishful thinking that doesn't always hold up.

> The first amendment may remain in the US as a sort of residual idea from classical liberalism, but it seems not too many people actually want this.

I'm not sure the first amendment was ever really popular - Nazi's marching down a Jewish neighborhood, hippies burning the American flag, John Adams defending British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre - freedom is often very unpopular. Just because something is unpopular doesn't mean it's not sacred.
What happens if the attorneys quit, and Holmes can't afford more private lawyers? Would a public defender represent her? That'd be quite the case to pull, I'd imagine. On cases where full teams of lawyers and paralegals are needed, practically speaking, I'd be curious what sort of resources a public defender might be afforded.
