I have a well founded belief that obesity cause is sugar and its close relatives. There's no mistery about that. Obesity is almost unknown before sugar is introduced in a country's diet.

Current epidemic is caused because sugar is not only available but practically unavoidable if you consume prepackaged food. It's added to all kinds of food, some of them, like mayo, bread or sausages, totally superfluous. Meanwhile some "experts" keep talking about dietary fat and calories.
Apparently some NRO folks got smacked down on another mission when they tried to use a quote from the Ricky Bobbie movie as the slogan "If you ain't first, you're last"

No mention of unions.

No concept that Amazon should be held responsible as the seller when they resell a counterfeit item.

No mention of antitrust or monopoly issues.

Amazon doesn't have much of a GPDR/CCPA privacy problem because most of the data they collect is from their own customers, who have agreed to Amazon's terms. Amazon doesn't want to sell customer info because that would help their competitors compete with them. They have their own internal closed ecosystem.
Reading the post, I didn't get the impression that he was complaining about permission dialog boxes in general, but rather about the specific implementation (including lack of documentation and lack of power-user features) in Catalina.
Does build2 handle the case where code has

#include "foo.h"

and then, after a successful build, you create a new file named "foo.h" in a directory earlier in the search path than the foo.h that was used in the previous compile?
But, unlike Bazel, it doesn't run on Windows, which is a big limitation in enterprises.
This might be a stupid question, but would adoption of RISC V help fix this issue?
We will be looking into supporting older models starting with the darp5 and galp3-c.
How to Make Decisions Like Jeff Bezos
The party hasn't split in the manner of the SDP's creation, but the views are split in the sense that the majority of MP's are remain, but the majority of membership appear to be heavily toward leave.

The whole official stance on Brexit is a clusterfuck, and while "negotiate another deal, referendum and campaign on one side depending on negotiation" may be an attempt to sound pragmatic, it hardly translates into an election winning policy or slogan. Quite apart from which the available wiggle room for negotiating a different deal has been very clearly laid out by the EU from the start. That hasn't changed. That can't change without UK compromise. He isn't getting his supposed left-Brexit.

There we get to the sticking point: The MP's would mostly like to remain, Corbyn speaks of the systemic problems of the EU and the UK would have more options out. Allegedly he was on the remain campaign for the referendum, yet did nothing. He disappeared, and was notable by his absence and silence. Is it any wonder no one is clear? Including those who might vote for him? Including his own MP's?

In historic terms he's not the most left they have been, but he's the furthest left since Foot. He shares some views with Kinnock and probably occupies a place in the political spectrum somewhere between the two. He may not be an old school sixties or seventies Labour Militant Tendency socialist, but he leans old-school left. To anyone of the Blair era, he's unrecognisable. Though that is more that Blairite Labour was Tory-Lite.

Still, despite the awful stance on Brexit, their election policies resonated with the electorate, and were a chance to get away from the dogmatic, idea-free Tory austerity. With a sensible, temporary stance on remain they could easily have been running the country by now. Dogma comes first.

Then politicians ask why people are sick of politics and politicians, and vote for the lunatic options.
researchers are like Francois Chollet & many more even jeff dean and it is the greatness of the community that it's pretty open to optimization "Why do researchers love PyTorch?
Simplicity. It’s similar to numpy, very pythonic, and integrates easily with the rest of the Python ecosystem. For example, you can simply throw in a pdb breakpoint anywhere into your PyTorch model and it’ll work. In TensorFlow, debugging the model requires an active session and ends up being much trickier.
Great API. Most researchers prefer PyTorch’s API to TensorFlow’s API. This is partially because PyTorch is better designed and partially because TensorFlow has handicapped itself by switching APIs so many times (e.g. ‘layers’ -> ‘slim’ -> ‘estimators’ -> ‘tf.keras’).
Performance. Despite the fact that PyTorch’s dynamic graphs give strictly less opportunity for optimization, there have been many anecdotal reports that PyTorch is as fast if not faster than TensorFlow. It's not clear if this is really true, but at the very least, TensorFlow hasn't gained a decisive advantage in this area."

common people do want to appreciate & adopt the things that seems fit to the knowledge sphere at present from the researchers. tensorflow approaches are better and respected each and everyone of the community as well in exchange enlightened us new ways of understanding of ml solutions. it have turned into a family “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” and given the assets alphabet have a common man can turn into researchers! e.g. >> https://learn.grasshopper.app take this for example "Learn to code anywhere.
Grasshopper is available on iOS, Android, and all web browsers. Your progress syncs seamlessly between devices." << this is the status quo ! it's a gift of a lifetime for generations !
Depends on the battery chemistry. NiCd and NiMh batteries which were very popular 10+ years ago do have a memory effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect

LiPo batteries do not have a memory effect, and you should avoid deep discharges.
It's not that some work has some "inherent tendency" to be exploitive. It's just that some lines of work are extremely vulnerable to exploitive forms masquerading as non-exploitive, to the point where the whole "market" unravels and only the exploitive form dominates. Child labor also falls into this, basically. But prostitution is even more obvious.

And no, people haven't really shown how to fix the issue. Maybe it could be done via strict regulation combined with a high price floor, to purposefully turn it into a manageable, "niche" industry where qualitative factors are prized and discourage opportunistic entry. But while that might be okay even to many self-identified 'sex workers', let's not pretend that plenty of people wouldn't be disappointed by such an approach.
Nope. But I think UMAP would be a dimensionality reduction step that you fed into a graph-based community extraction algorithm? In our current code experiments, we have been starting with a k-nearest-neighbor approximation algorithm to build the graph. UMAP would, at first glance, replace that.

I think there is even a louvain clustering method (really a graph-based community extraction method) built into several UMAP libraries floating around . . .
I appreciate your help and was curious if you could field one more specific question:

What if I wanted to fork tensorflow and integrate my project into it, would I need the tensorflow fork as something like a git submodule in my main repo, or is there a way to tell bazel there's another repo somewhere else and where it fits into the graph?
How does bazel compare to
https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/README.md
And
https://github.com/microsoft/BuildXL
?
Which makes them war pigs themselves, and thus suitable cannon fodder.
That is not the only point that contrasts with the feel-good parts in a really strange way...
I just upgraded to Catalina today on my MBP, and that screenshot of Allow/Deny notifcations hits the nail on the head! Likewise the popups about allowing apps to control other apps - what a wonderful way to introduce me to Catalina!

I mean, come on, there has to be a better way than this, especially from a company supposedly famed for it's user-orientated designs and thinking?
There's a hosted Bazel in an early access preview. Tensorflow uses it.
They used tensorflow in their courses previously but later switched to pytorch.
...what else would it be a part of?

As I understand it these types of restrictions are "best effort". You're not supposed to set out to shoot someone with an inappropriate type of round from the get-go (eg, using incendiary against a human), but if you are shooting it and a target presents itself, you aren't blocked from shooting it if it is a threat to you or your boys.

None of this really matters in my opinion. Once the stuff is flying in both directions most restrictions (short of nuclear weapons) kind of get relaxed.
Annoying Technology
I think this sentiment is rooted in a misconception of the U.S. military industrial complex. First, people from higher income households are disproportionately represented among those who serve: http://www.nytimes.com/images/blogs/freakonomics/posts/Enlis... https://www.heritage.org/node/15058/print-display

> Enlisted recruits in 2006 and 2007 came primarily from middle-class and upper-middle-class backgrounds. Low-income neighborhoods were underrepresented among enlisted troops, while middle-class and high-income neighborhoods were overrepresented.

Officers, of course, and civilian leadership tend to come even more from the upper part of the income spectrum. The idea that wars are fought by the poor for the rich is a myth--the lowest 20% of households in terms of income account for just 10% of enlisted ranks.

As to "profit"--war isn't particularly profitable. Raytheon, the third largest defense contractor, is about as profitable as Starbucks (both in terms of absolute profit and profit margin). The defense industry doesn't mint billionaires or enjoy 30%+ profit margins like say tech. Raytheon has a valuation similar to WeWork. With the exception of a few highly-compensated CEOs, defense contractors are dominated by upper-middle class scientists and engineers.

The U.S. has a middle class military that serves middle class interests. Anti-war people fail to understand that because they fail to understand that Americans aren't anti-war. We're an ideological people and we're not afraid to use the military to achieve a wide variety of ends.

For example, what are we doing in Syria? I don't know, but a slight majority of Americans oppose Trump's decision to withdraw: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/18/americans-d.... 43% of Americans still think the iraq war was the right decision: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/03/19/iraq-war-co.... Only 30% of Americans think that reducing our overseas military commitments should be a "top priority." https://www.people-press.org/2018/11/29/conflicting-partisan.... Many policies that would involve the opposite, like fighting terrorism, limiting the influence of China, etc., enjoy more support.

45% of Americans self-identify as "hawks." https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/styles/pubs/public.... And more than 50% of Americans believe the following would justify military intervention: stopping genocide (70%), humanitarian crisis (70%), stopping Iran nukes (69%), ensurign oil supply (55%), peacekeeping in the middle east (50%).

Over 70% of both Democrats and Republicans support: U.S. airstrikes against terrorist training camps, drone strikes to assassinate terrorist leaders, and assassination of terrorist leaders generally.
I'm assuming most of the alt-history buffs reading this have already heard of it, but I thought I'd point out that this scenario plays out in great detail in Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory series of novels.

> are there tools for parsing the firmware bin?

Besides a hex editor, probably not.

> are they a threat vector?

As much as any other opaque software (i.e. not FOSS or otherwise transparent around source code auditing by arbitrary third parties). That is, in short: yes.

> is it like a settings file?

No, it's more like the operating system for the wireless card itself, running on the card's own microprocessor.
OP here. Thank you. I have no issues with the tightening of security and permissions on Catalina. In fact, I welcome it both for myself and my aging parents who I want to remain safe online. My issue, as you said, is the implementation and lack of documentation for those of us who do know what we're doing.
With US companies and citizens excusing to China for excessive free speech, this is now arguably a US issue, too.
Is the hypothetical contradictory article that you assume exists, but can't be bothered to find, also backed by an extensive report from a well-regarded environmental science group?
Absolutely not, but it’s just that every single time it’s about japan even if it is not the first or the first country to do so. It’s the fetisishing of japan.
Oh boy. I’d like to know Jony Ive’s reaction to Catalina...
From a historical perspective:

Bazel is the open sourced version of Blaze, google's internal build system. Buck is Facebook's open source version of their own implementation of a Blaze-like system. Pants was built as an open source implementation of Buck, before Buck was open sourced.

From a bird's eye view, knowing this history of their creators, I would guess that Bazel is more complicated internally, its API has a wider surface area, and ships with many optimizations included for the use case of building extremely large artifacts with many, many dependencies.

Someone who's more familiar with both, feel free to add details or correct my over generalizations! I've used Pants professionally and tried setting up Bazel for personal projects, but found it was too complicated for my needs.
I had the same response when they dropped the live version. I've been using the beta for weeks, and when I heard it went GM I was shocked.

My biggest issue is that the whole computer freezes for about 10 seconds when I activate a dropdown in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox sometimes. It will also freeze everything but audio playback for 10 to 30 seconds when watching videos full screen with VLC. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

But this release is the buggiest .0 release I've ever seen from Apple.
> All the NYSE has to do is enforce it's own existing rules and nearly every Chinese company on its index would be kicked off.

Perhaps all it takes is a complaint to NYSER [1] and FINRA, CCd to the SEC to find out why the NYSE isn't enforcing it's own rules on their exchange in regards to these listed Chinese companies. I submitted an inquiry to request the mailing address for complaint submission to NYSER, so a certified mail paper trail can be started. Best source of data for a list of Chinese symbols that would be non-compliant?

Sorry I misunderstood. I actually do click each pane to change focus/context. It isn't mouse-over.

My bad.
If inaction due to inability to decipher signal from noise is the consequence of a more absolute definition of free speech, it's an acceptable trade off. Too often not accepting the good with the bad results in attempts to correct the bad but instead "corrects" the good. Not every problem requires a proactive, legislative solution.

In these cases I fear, in the long term, we just have to count on the human nature to want to be able to make noise.
many bigots here dismiss bazel out of hand for being written in java.

the binary ships it own JRE and starts instantly (uses a server), why is java an issue exactly??
At this point I stay at least one major release behind Apple’s bleeding edge. They’ve been shipping increasingly buggy software on the Mac for years.
I dunno, I think corporations talking about social issues stands out more because it's contentious. If I was to try and broadly categorise the topics:

- min wage: economic

- climate: environmental

- energy: environmental

- diversity: social/business

- lgbt: social

- immigration: social/political

- govt tech: political

- facial rec: legal/social

- counterfeiting: legal

- data: legal/political

- tax: legal/business

I'm being as respectful as I can be. For example, I haven't yet raised the point that, the conference having taken place in NYC, an identical comment in the context of employment almost certainly would be considered unlawful sexual harassment under the provisions of NYC's Human Rights Law ([1], cf. also "Some Examples of Sexual Harassment" in [2], provided as an example of sexual harassment information required to be posted as described in [1] and [3]. Note also the hero image in [3], which, while perhaps not a legal document in its own right, is extremely on point for this discussion.)

Now, of course, a conference speaker does not typically employ his audience, and I don't argue that RMS is eligible for the civil penalties which, per that statute, may attach to the comment he made. I would nonetheless, in light of this information, find myself somewhat embarrassed to have chosen "it's just a joke, not sexual harassment" as the hill on which I wished to die.

I have a great deal of respect for RMS's legacy. For example, had he not invested the effort to bring GNU Emacs into existence, I would almost certainly not now be at the point in my profession and my career where I am; I have found Emacs an invaluable tool for something like a decade, and have no intention of ever replacing it at any time in the future. I own a signed copy of the Emacs 24 manual - bought at that same conference, and signed by RMS himself just a few hours after those events took place. I have no plans to destroy it, as I gather some have done. I was honored, and remain so, that he was willing to sign my book at all.

But the respect I cherish for the technical work RMS has done, does not extend to excusing his failures of respectful behavior, or the fashion in which they hinder rather than advance the goals of the GNU Project and the FSF as a whole. Nor does that respect extend to any longer keeping quiet about what he said or about the effect it had. Indeed, I should've spoken up long before now.

I understand the grievances of those who would hear no ill of their idol. I hope they'll someday learn to understand that facts don't care about their feelings.

slightly off topic, the black kitkat, those are dark chocolate kitkats?

The green packaged one is for sale now here, but now i learned there is a black one. (which they dont sell at our local supermarkets)
Why is that? (Sincere question)
I can add something to the list which is Sidecar i.e. using an iPad as secondary screen. It was a real nightmare to set it up as it’d not detect the iPad despite meeting all the requirements. I found no fixes online so I had the idea of logout & login again (iCloud) so that it might detect it.

Well, it detected I had an iPad but the connection would time out every single time. After rebooting both the Mac and the iPad (another wild guess) it kind of worked - very laggy and couldn’t use the Mac properly as clicking in e.g. System Preferences would open Finder to show me the app under Applications instead of the actual system preferences panel because of reasons.

It’s truly broken and felt like an alpha version. But this has been the trend with macOS and guess it’ll stay like this unless someone high enough at Apple decides to wake up.
So would then whole wheat flour fit the bill?
It seems better to me to think of this as a method for creating custom drugs rather than to think of it as the creation of a single custom drug for one patient.

Maybe the first one is extraordinarily expensive and risky, but what happens after they do this for a dozen or a hundred or a thousand people?
> Nukes [1940's], antibiotics [1920's], supersonic jets [1940's], space flight [1960's], the invention of computers [what are we calling this, 1950's?].

Sputnik was in the 1950s, computers happened in the late 40s, and yes, we're calling the time period these things were invented to be 1909 through 1959 or 1919 to 1969; whatever. Compare to the following 50 years of 1959 to 2009... Or compare 1969 to 2019; whatever; doesn't matter. One chunk of time; the EARLY chunk of time demonstrates enormous and obvious progress. The other one contains the iphone and "personal computers." One of them represents a preposterous increase in actual, measurable human power over nature. New things were possible that were not possible before. The other one represents an increase in distractions available to individuals.

>Your military-usefulness definition is interesting, but I think limited, and ignores how competition between societies has changed in non-military ways.

Indeed it does ignore this change, very self consciously so. Imagine if we're playing a game of "Civilization." Which invention, which requires the limited resources of the civilization to be dedicated to its development, confers advantage over the other civilizations? Atom bombs and antibiotics and the invention of computers in the first place, or personal computers and smart phones? Pretty sure the first couple of them are giant leaps forward which means your civilization dominates the other one. Maybe networked computing helps too, if you can use them to subvert the other cultures, but it sure don't look like it from where I am sitting!

>But this is wrong? Productivity stalled in the '70s, just as chip improvements really started to skyrocket!

Yes: that's the point! It may have stalled because the smart people were fucking around uselessly with chips and their useless biproducts when they could have been, say, building better solar or other non-carbon power technologies, or, like Gerald O'Neil's space colonies!
i hate microsoft's way of getting things done! stop reinventing the wheel !
