It's a good question.

I hope that the law comes down on these devices such that it only makes sense to keep and analyze all recorded data locally.

If recorded data is never the property of the corporations but of the private owner of the device, a lot of the issues with them could be defanged.

On the flip side, the value proposition for these devices may then be reduced - both for the corporations that produce them and the customers that use them.
An historical mistake that humanity is paying (and will pay) for a long time.

Scheme 'cloths' was a viable option. Lisp remains the most popular scripting language among Autocad users despite Autodesk pushing other languages (.NET and JS). So popular that Autocad clones use it also as a scripting language[1].

Those would be the "attackers willing to go that length" the person was referring to. If these are the adversaries you want to defend against, your solution is even simpler - don't store such secrets on your phone. Also maybe hire a bodyguard.
Also sorta silly, because you are going to have to carry it with your phone anyway.
I think it's much easier to make your own electricity than to make your own petrol if it comes to that.
The thing is that now Boris Johnson delivered a deal so he can freely go with no exit if the parliament refuses it. Which he hints he really wants.
Until the mess has gone trough courts 31st will be long gone if he decides to not seek extension.
Is that more of a day-to-day problem for you than shoulder surfing? I ask because I used to have a drinking problem, too.
They are leading in the polls and the main threat to them is the Brexit Party, which would be thwarted with a deal in hand, so I wouldn't be so sure.
How would that even work? Individual country laws between England and Scotland couldn't clash with EU laws. That would then infringe on England's independence.
But society doesn't have a "morality module" "in place" that people can just outsource their moral judgement to.

If someone have lifted your pin/password, they can very much unlock your phone while you are unconscious.

IMO a combination of bio-metric and pin/password/phrase would be a good solution.
This (‘affinity index’) has been going on for at least twenty years, late 1990s.

Pyrolysis (at a reasonably large scale) can make acceptable diesel out of plastic, biowaste, or cooking oil.
If "everyone" were the threshold we apply, politics could never get anything done. Scotland voted 62% remain, that is a pretty strong mandate for remaining. Stronger than the 51.9% leave vote for the UK overall.
This sounds like comedy to me. Either people say machine learning is magic and solves everything or people say not to use machine learning at all and this lets them drill down and understand?

Many search tasks really do need machine learning, especially variations on collaborative filter and matrix factorization. Mixed modality search often truly does need deep learning and wasn’t even really possible at a level of fidelity suitable for real use cases until maybe 10 years ago.

If Algolia was categorically omitting a whole class of possible solutions, that would be a big red flag, certainly not a reason to think they can drill down to understand search results better.

I worked once on a large ecommerce search engine that had been built with Solr, and the sort order involved crazy hand-tuned boosting scores applied to ngrams of different sizes. None of it was reproducible, nobody knew where the magic boost weights came from, and as the quality of results started to plummet, there was no way to fix it. Everyone was too afraid to modify the magic constants because even slight perturbations created stark visual errors. And this was just for a super simple non-normalized term frequency matrix with boosts. “Not using machine learning” is not at all a signal that your solution won’t end up as a black box with no interpretability.
It's the wild west -- corporations are just doing what they want while governments are asleep at the wheel.

Also, having an army of lawyers is exactly what allows for this -- you need to know which areas are gray in order to exploit them without risk of retribution/regulation. A basic minutes-long conversation would have likely arrived at the point of how recording of the owner themselves/third parties would affect the product.
I'm not sure that Scotland and Northern Ireland would automatically be allowed to "stay" in the EU - wouldn't they need to reapply for membership as new entities?
I think locales are for dialects, where you can have different terms used for the same concept. Here you can have someone speak the en-NZ dialect, but with a French accent.

Also, we would need en-FR, en-ES, en-IT, etc. All languages as spoken from all other native languages. And obviously the strength of the accent varies.
I wouldn't be too sure about it. Sure, they will not be able to repeat the results of the last EU election (where they came out on top) at home in the UK, but they still might get gain enough seats to become a player and even a "king maker". After all, we live in a time where every poll said Remain will win, and every pollster said Trump had essentially no chance of winning.

But you're right, First Past the Post voting can pose a major obstacle for them and probably will pose a major obstacle for them in the next election even if it happens sooner than later. Like in 2015 when they had a popular vote share of 12.6% but got had one seat (or 0.2% of seats)

It's not faster than light at the scale where there's matter in the universe. Across a planet or solar system it's not measurable.

It's when you measure between one side of the observable universe to the oposite side that the expansion speeds get crazy.
You may want to consider Ramda.js instead:

IMHO does a better job than Lodash, because:

1. All functions are automatically curried.

2. The order of parameters lends itself to composition.

EDIT: 3. Transducers.
Right. May needed the DUP to keep her majority, so she couldn't propose a deal that they wouldn't accept. Johnson has no majority so the DUP are no longer important.
We think of it more as getting into NBA or Olympic Games or becoming a Navy Seal. It is tough to get in, tough throughout and will only harden you if you don't break along the way. Being part of community and other perks also are a nice-to-have.
It's much harder and more expensive stock up on electricity thank liquid fuel if you know your source is going to be unreliable.

Richard Gabriel’s famous essay “Worse is better” (https://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html) is an interesting perspective on why Lisp lost to C. In a way, the same arguments (simplicity vs consistency vs correctness vs completeness) can be made for why functional programming lost to OOP.

But those philosophical perspectives aside, personally I find my brain works very much like a Turing Machine, when dealing with complex problems. Apart from my code, even most of my todos are simple step-by-step instructions to achieve something. It’s easily understandable why like me, other non-math folks would prefer a Turing Machine over Lambda Calculus’ way of writing instructions.

This could be why OOP/Imperative was often preferred over FP.
The comparison that helped me understand it was seeing the Universe as a balloon.

My friend and I both live at different points on the surface of a balloon with distance A. I throw a ball at light speed while the balloon is being inflated, and the distance between us is B when the ball reaches him after T time.

To my friend it seems that the ball was thrown at B / T speed, which is faster than the speed of light.
It is a scripted response tailored to convey a specific, albeit less than truthful, narrative Much like the Juul CEO telling the public not to use their product right before the next announcement they were under investigation. Hopefully, a similar investigation will be announced presently.

But isn't the Benn act (which itself is flawed and may be overruled by EU law) now satisfied as there is an agreement?.

If this is now voted down by the chimpanzees in parliament then the UK can leave without a deal without asking for an extension.

Maybe Elm itself is a killer app, but certainly not elm-ui. I don't think Datomic is a killer app too. Its certainly not comparable to Rails/OSes at scale
From what it seems, it records a "flat" fingerprint, because the screen protector is obviously a flat layer on top of the device. So any haptic touch only activates this flat fingerprint
Republic of Ireland cannot take the reunification financially.
Northern Ireland is underdeveloped and relying on governmental post to keep afloat.

Rep doesn't currently have enough resources to support integration of north. Unfortunately at the moment its romanticized dream.
Have you had pizza in Rome? Rome is a good example: Rome has a tradition of thin and crunchy pizza, which is far from the "standard" pizza (which is the Naples one). Rome pizza is pretty common in Rome, tough there are also many places serving Naples pizza. The point is: Italian people living in Rome and going out for a pizza usually distinguish between the two kinds of pizza: for example, I have lived in Rome for some years and, since I don't like Rome pizza ("pizza romana"), I always chose places serving Naples pizza.

In the rest of Italy is the same: you call it "pizza", but you distinguish between places that make good Naples pizza, bad Naples pizza, good not-Naples pizza, bad not-Naples pizza.
Agreed, nothing has substantially changed on either side, this is a moving of deck chairs just so BJ can waft a piece of paper.

The DUP are still against it, the rump of Labour, lib Dems, and the rest will still be against it.
The best is to have a secret phone like secure folder or private space. Thus you are protected even if someone makes you unlock the phone.
Miners more or less entirely pay the cost with the blockreward which means the users pay way way less fees for their Tx than it would actually cost in energy.

If we assume max 7Tx/s 1 block can hold 4200 Tx
One block gets the miner 12.5 BTCs that's a 0.003 BTC "subvention" per Tx that would otherwise have to be pais as fee.

In other words the cost is paid by inflation which hurts most who holds and not who uses it.
People don't care about a little inflation because the price gains where way way over that. But in the long run this system can not work. Every halving requires the BTC price to at least double (assuming the same mining cost). Problem is mining cost goes only up the halving is finite it goes to zero blockreward. Since the price can't go to infinite it's obvious that this system has to crash at some point we just don't know when.
Ah, here's a video of a note 10, which has the same fingerprint sensor as an s10, being fooled by a gel _case_ after being trained with a fingerprint normally.

> you might not want to multiply N and M with Y dapr nodes

That would be bad, but my understanding of the "sidecar" is that there would be M dapper nodes, each attached to a main consumer in a container. (and probably add N dapper nodes as well, if the N senders are also containerised and managed this way)
Can you back up any of these big claims with actual sources? This is the first I'm hearing about this.
Personally my thinking changes from Turing Machine to more math like with each year I do functional programming

Simulation doesn’t have to obey the rules. For non-scientists it is enough to “tell” them how it works without actually rendering it, cause they’ll never check. For scientists, you have to make their brain believe that all is consistent with complex computations all the way down.

Imagine that you know physics and math very good. But then simulation suddenly fails due to segfault and you realize that all your knowledge was just a gibberish nonsense and your work sessions and discussions were dream-like experience. Otherwise it was just a pretty dumb 3d simulation slightly better than a modern AAA game.

Edit: I mean, a simulation argument opens a huge can of worms, if you consider the perspective of a lazy simulation developer them-self.
> A blockchain could be used to enforce that immutability. Which might be an actual, useful application for blockchains.

Yes, and surprisingly the implementation is called Bitcoin ;)
I’m no chemical engineer, but just the fact that I’ve never heard that word tells me I’m not doing that in my garage after an emergency. I’m going with self-generated electricity. That I know several ways of doing, from common household materials.
Am I rhe only one who likes single quotes around literal strings?
The idea that Labour don't want an election is absurd. They've been demanding one since last year. The only reason they're voting against one now is that Johnson would pull the UK out of the EU whilst Parliament was dissolved. They'll support an election as soon as possible if there's another extension.
Recently I found out John Romero does a podcast where he speaks about Apple II at great length, you can find it at appletimewarp.libsyn.com

C'mon, that a straight lie out there, plain and visible.

The other alternative is that he is utterly incompetent at his role, which I don't believe for a second. He is probably be incompetent in speaking with media though
> common for a wannabe Bitcoin millionaires to run mining software on computers and electricity they do not own or pay for

Define “common” and provide sources for your claims please.
Because it is difficult and funding flows to workflows which treat software like brick laying.
Fingerprints were never supposed to replace passwords, they're more analogous to usernames.

I like fingerprint scanner as a quick way to unlock my phone, it's at least more secure than the 4 digit passcodes or patterns I used before that, and more convenient than that or face recognition. But I wouldn't want to use fingerprint to replace entering a password for making payments or accessing any secure data.
I'm working remote from a near village, and it's soo awesome!
A skittish nocturnal animal is unlikely to get roadkilled. Only the carcasses we'd find need to get removed promptly by scavengers. That said, I think it's more likely extinct than not.
Locales can help distinguish country-specific variants (e.g. US vs. UK spelling), but pronunciation varies a lot at the sub-national level. If you want to support all possible accents, you'll need a more fine-grained encoding.
So I'm no expert. My instinct is that these two dark stuffs are (as the OP said) "placeholders" - stuffs that fall out of the equations, but which we cannot find, or even describe. If you want me to believe in stuff, then you need to be able to point at it (at least in some kind of metaphorical sense).

I have a similar opinion about "cosmic inflation", as it happens; it appears to be a solution to a problem with the equations.

In both cases, it looks to me very much as if someone has described the problem, and then announced that their problem-description is actually a solution. Nice work, if you can get it.
Bitcoin’s energy use is its most valuable feature. If you think it’s an issue - you don’t understand what’s valuable in Bitcoin.
If someone is going to go to the lengths of cutting off your finger to get into your phone, I would suggest you're screwed anyway because they seem like the kind of people who'd chop off your/your wife/your children's fingers to get you to unlock it if you had a passphrase anyway.
To be honest, I'd like a 2nd referendum just to get the politicians to think about a deal that would be acceptable to both sides, rather than being hard remain or hard leave.
Firefox on Android allows extensions. Including ad blockers.
As far as I understand it they would have to reapply, but if I recall correctly back when the referendum on Scottish independence was a thing the EU said that they'd fast track their application, whatever that means.

Again, if I recall correctly.
the second part wasn't about what you said, but an example of how the claim "if a person gives up something, then they weren't passionate enough" is nonsense.

to give you a better example: since guido van rossum gave up leadership of python, does that mean that he wasn't passionate enough about it?

absolutely not. but how he was treated destroyed his passion, and he couldn't handle it any more and burned out. this is the argument above. women leave despite their passion they got more pain than they could handle. just like guido.

The immediate benefit that I see with these types of things is: installation isn't needed.

I remember this being quite a good thing for the Harvard course CS50. You don't need to download an IDE, you can just open one up in the cloud.

Video editing falls in the same space, depending on one's tech savviness.
I'm convinced it's possible to create a company that looks and feels like yours and still makes it big. The idea that you can only grow quickly when everybody's being pushed into a burnout feels hopelessly outdated to me.

Hello there! I was rejected today for 7th time I believe.

We started selling our product in January, We just signed a contract with Accenture, we are on track to have 1 million websites using our technology and we are about $20k MRR (which we know will be a much more thanks to some partnerships we are about to sign.

YC is an amazing opportunity, but it's just one of the many tools we have as entrepreneurs. Keep working, be better and more important than anything, be permissionless.
I would say "dark" here is more like "unknown" than a color reference, while both obviously have a connection in how we experience.
I'm not sure if working for an NGO is necessarily better in terms of culture. It seems to me you can have good or bad culture and management either way, regardless whether the purpose of the organization is making profits or not.
DevOps is not a role. You arebtalking about a modern ops role in this dialogue.

That analogy does not hold if you think about it
It's not clear to me that the Brexit party will be thwarted. They'll just repeat their usual line that the deal is Brexit-in-name-only and betrays the result of the referendum.
I think if you watch those videos you will learn that getting paid is not limited by total currency in circulation both due to velocity of money [0] and due to non-currency assets that people get paid in (IP, stock, etc).

In the scenario I described above each country could spend all their wealth if they do desired. Nations constantly create money and handle deposits so even if they wanted it all in cash that they never spend (which no one does) they could do that in both the $100 and $200 scenario because as nations they can create currency. If the currency is backed by wealth of nations then inflation is less (ie, a country printing $100 with $1 in wealth is in trouble, but a country printing $100 with $100 in wealth is less in trouble).

Fortunately, while these concepts are a little non-intuitive, it’s possible to study, learn, and use them to influence our decision. Or to help me decrease confusion on the relationship of purchasing power and wealth.

Personally, I think JS is a fine functional language. Like you say, it doesn't have a good FP style system library, but it doesn't have a good anything style system library ;-) My main complaint is that currying is awkward. One thing I have discovered, though, is that closures are relatively slow (that is, unoptimised) in most implementations. In several implementations, they can also leak memory in certain circumstances. There is a very old outstanding bug in V8 that gives a lot of details about this... unfortunately I'm not in a position at the moment to go spelunking for it (I wish I'd saved a link...)

Anyway, I've done quite a few fairly large katas in JS using only an FP style of coding without any dependencies and I really enjoyed it.
I wonder if that's following a definition of antisemitism which considers any criticism of the Israeli government as antisemitic?

According to this article (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/04/labour-adop...):

> The most controversial passage in the draft statement proposed by Corbyn said: “It cannot be considered racist to treat Israel like any other state or assess its conduct against the standards of international law. Nor should it be regarded as antisemitic to describe Israel, its policies or the circumstances around its foundation as racist because of their discriminatory impact, or to support another settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict.”

This statement was not approved by Labour's ruling body.
Corporate Robots are programmed with 2 rules - Everything has to be scaled up & It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. Then they are let loose on the world where they fuck up, junked and a new model with the same programming is wheeled in.

Can they be reprogrammed is the question.
This is about as politically realistic as the alternative: for the EU to break into its constituent parts instead so that a simple ROI-UK deal could be arranged without involving trade policy with Hungary, Portugal, etc etc
You are mostly right, except that the actions of gitlab _are_ an active endeavour in various respects:

- putting a stop on political discussion at the workplace

- making it clear in the handbook as a matter of policy that gitlab will sell to whomever they legally can

- sending a clear signal that any time spend on considering not to do so and expressing an alternative opinion is seen as a violation of the values of gitlab and waste of time

- engaging in commercial activity with anybody, assuming you don't rip them off and they actually benefit from it, can also be seen as support in a very weak sense

However, 'support' also has the meaning of condoning. It's like a bystander not taking action when somebody is sexually harassed. You don't say he actively caused the harassment but his lack of action betrays an implicit support.
