That might very well be true that Google Assistant is better but there’s a certain class of user, like me, that finds voice interfaces obnoxious.

The first thing I do with a new phone is turn Siri off because I don’t want to use my phone that way. So it doesn’t matter to me which is better or which is worse.

However privacy is important to me so I use that as a driver of purchases.
My understanding was that Redux had become largely redundant now that React Hooks have been released. I have only entered the React domain recently, so maybe someone can shed some light on when to use Redux vs. React Hooks?
The hubble constant is where the equations breakdown.

Remember why he even added it in the first place.

It was to create a model of the universe that is frozen. It's creating a reference frame.

Depending on which reference frame we use, we get different numbers.

It seems no one has yet mentioned the potential illegality of this policy. The rights of employees to discuss their working conditions at work, a largely political discussion, is protected by the NLRA. Google got whacked by the NLRB for their ban on political discussion as well.
The USA (ie. only Trump) pulled out (Pence and everyone else are battling this), Turkey is invading North-Syria (the autonomic Kurds areas, claiming Rojave are PKK), and Russia came to help Syria to protect its borders. ISIS prisoners escaped. Economic sanctions will soon end this charade, their NATO ally status is in question and Sultan Erdogan's time will be over soon.
Yeah, that's a fair point - for high volume/low margin industries 1% of revenue is quite a bit of profit. I'm much more impressed by a pledge to give 1% of revenue than, e.g., https://pledge1percent.org/profit.html which commits to 1% of profit.
I'm really not though. I'm aware that 'conservative' has specific religious connotations, but on the Venn diagram with political conservatism, there's a lot of overlap. Trump won many predominantly Jewish districts in the last election.
How big is that push compared to the push mentioned in this thread? I have no numbers but my first guess is that it is smaller.

I'd suggest keeping it in USD or other hard currency. Bitcoin provides no advantages in obtaining/transacting hard currency relative to other currencies, nor any stability while holding it. Either way you are going to a black market, and you are paying real, unaffordable conversion rates compared to transacting in (worthless) hyperinflationary currency.

The bitcoin guy is not going to accept 1 Zimbabwe dollar to 1 USD any more than your black market dealer who has USD. The real currency conversion rate is the problem, not the act of obtaining actual hard currency.
I am curious, why System Verilog isn’t mentioned in this article. It is much much better than Verilog and is used in industrial applications.

What I am missing are 2 topics: timing analysis and debugging. Static timing analysis and proper timing constrains are crucial for functional design. No tool can differentiate without constrains a slow signal signal toggling LED every 10 seconds from DDR3 533 MHz differential clock line.

Debugging FPGAS design cannot be avoided. Even if design works in simulator, it fails very often on real hardware. And then real fun starts. Xilinx has Integrates Logic Analyzer, Intel has Chipscope. Other vendors have their own similar tools. There are best FPGA designer’s friends. But these tools can’t be trusted, they break sometimes design in unexpected ways. Designer must develop gut feeling, what’s happening. Synthesis of design with integrated logic analyzer takes much more time than regular one. Debugging cycles are insane long. Forgetting one signal can mean 2 hours waiting, so add them all at very beginning.

Writing hardware description language is easy part. As somebody already mentioned, everybody can count ones and zeros. First problem every software engineer encounters is simple: there is nothing to program. FPGA design is about describing your system with these ancient language. Second problem is using bulky toolchain. It’s more than compile and debug buttons. In fact, there is huge machine processing code to bitstream. And it’s complexity naturally takes time to understand, you don’t need to be smart to be FPGA designer.

That's a bit too much dislike toward Steve Ballmer. The enterprise market is completely owned by MSFT today (huge part due to him). Azure wouldn't be Azure if all the enterprise products/contracts already in place. Sure, they missed an opportunity on mobile, but so did BlackBerry.

The stock market (stock price) just didn't love MSFT despite strong financials during Ballmer's tenure.

They can go through the bus lane. Usually when you design people centric streets you still leave a clearing big enough for vehicles to pass through, it's just they have to go very slow or have siren to alert everyone to move out of the way for an emergency.
Pedestrian areas in the city center here usually get delivery trucks in the early morning and after ~8:00 or so no cars are allowed in that zone. Seems to work well. Construction sites are an exception and while inconvenient I doubt people insist on bringing construction equipment by wheelbarrow from a km away.
Isn't cursor keys like that? If you get stalls when it sends the 4-5 byte sequence, you get to see ]^A instead of cursor moving.

Having dog slow links and tcp set to send each char instead of waiting for a whole line or packet probably helps to see it, but I'm somewhat certain the whole code for a cursor movement needs to arrive within a certain time in order for it to actually be a movement and not the individual chars.
bingo, money is enormously more complicated than microecon suggests. Micro-econ thinks Keynesian economics are full of shit, yet they stimulated us right out of a micro-economic hole during the 30s.
It makes more sense now, but I still got questions.

You see, when you created an in-game location, you're inviting players to go there, regardless whether or not the location is popular in the real life. Dedicated players may take a detour from their normal day-to-day route just to hit that location to gain in-game advantages, which will generate data noise if the map software wants to use players data to improve their product for normal non-player users.

Also, let's don't forget products like Google Maps and Bing Maps are already collecting users locations. And in addition to the location, it also knows where the user was, where the user wants to go and how the user would go there (Take bus, drive, walk etc). That, is high quality data (Better than a Niantic game could provide) that generates profit directly.

All the reasons combine, I think I still have some doubts about that business model.
Not saying anything about the dark matter, but dark energy is highly likely just the basic energy of the empty vacuum. The problem is the fact our equations don’t give the correct answer for it.
Yes but the bitcoin network computers don't _really_ coorperate (well they do, with a bandwidth of the order of 2MB/15mins), unlike supercomputers, so hard to compare. But yes, lots of waste.
The USA has a socialized healthcare system, it's called Medicaid and expanding it was a big part of the Affordable Care Act. In some states, such as California, Medi-Cal (the state's name for Medicaid) is fully available to legal immigrants and practically fully available to illegal aliens as well, the latter just have to use the emergency department rather than schedule a physician's appointment.

Our system does however assume that highly capable persons such as yourself are able to not only able to afford medical care, but also to pay for the socialized programs for those who can't.
Meh. The axiom of choice is well documented.

Each initial set of conditions would create a unquie system.

But we also see galaxies whose gravity is much weaker than we’d anticipate based on the objects we can see, impying they have less dark matter.
vlad whatever was full of shit 4 years ago when he said that he thought proof of work would be eliminated within 6 months. I bought hardware on the basis that he was wrong and it paid out.

I dunno why anyone still has faith in eth as a concept, it's a garbage programming model, it's a garbage developer, who has failed for an inordinate period of time as measured by the crypto community. he's just trying to pump up his holdings.

(many of these deficiencies would have resulted in monetary losses for the developer himself, had he not used his central authority to roll back the blockchain. Literally anti-"crypto as a philosophy". So much for "code is law" and all that.)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14691212

He's 2 years beyond his 2 year worst case scenario and he has zero progress. And in the crypto community 4 years is a ridiculous period of time to be behind schedule. It's time to state the obvious: he fixed the broken script model that Bitcoin refused to fix, but he is incapable of adding anything significantly novel.

4 years of failed promises? With at least one rollback from a central authority? time to look elsewhere.

Otherwise, the obvious question: where is the Proof of Stake that he promised literally 4 years ago? How many more years out is it right now?

(nor is the "never increase past X amount of currency" even a good model. real currencies need to match issuance the amount of demand for currency... potentially even negative at times. And someone needs to do that. Otherwise, the currency will be subject to a wild amount of inflation/deflation... just like all previous hard currencies.)

Gosh, we could call that a "central bank". And electing an unresponsive 17-year-old as central banker is just about as dumb as it gets.

He is already making central banking decisions... just ones that the majority of the community (ridiculously) agrees with (throttling the amount of currency issued) because the community is centered around deflationary gold-bugs rather than actual maximalists.
Still there. some of them.
The primordial black holes theory is much more of a theory than the dark matter. The corridor for their existence is getting smaller and smaller and they can’t really help establish the current large scale structure of the Universe (while cold dark matter can).
Are we discussing this as a hypothetical, or as a practical building method?

Plus I don't really want my town to sound like the set of Apocalypse Now.
It's much more than a placeholder for observations that don't match theory.

There are a whole bunch of very different observations that don't match theory in different ways, if your theory doesn't include dark matter.

But if your theory includes dark matter, all those various experiments match theory pretty darn perfectly.

There's no a priori reason why something like dark matter shouldn't exist. It would be nice to directly detect it through scattering experiments on Earth, but there are a lot of possibilities for what dark matter is, and each would require a different type of experiment to detect.
They definitely have to choose, and many places I've lived in explicitly mention that also voting in another place (in the US) is a crime.
Correlates with the rise of the 'Like' button somewhat. But could be a false correlation.
In the most recent development it’s been debunked. The problem was with the Hubble telescope measurements of the candles. Using another satellite and another class of candles they got to the measurement that was very close to CMB.
But surely, we already _know_ that we'll never be able to model the universe without a law of intelligence.

For instance, if you were an alien scientist on the other side of the galaxy measuring the atmospheric composition of Earth, there's no way that you could make a prediction to match the result without also modelling emerging properties of intelligence. We know that this is true, just as we know that intelligence and computation are physical properties of the universe - so why isn't there a serious branch of physics which tries to take this into account?

Dapr looks like Microsoft's answer to Istio - anecdotally, I've never gotten Istio to work (as recently as a few months ago) so I'll have to give this one a try at some point to see if they've done a better job.

OAM though, perplexes me. Even the justification - that k8s is out of scope of the developer, and is handled by ops - speaks to a misunderstanding of some of the advantages clusters provide. Some research [1] tells me that developers author "components" which encapsulate singular parts of an architecture, and are connected by operators into an application. And then auto-scaling is handled by "traits", which are entirely separate? It's interesting, but it seems to largely replicate (and act as a translation layer for) existing k8s features. Maybe that's the real value prop here, and the techcrunch article buried the lede - by defining components and traits through OAM you can move to any cloud-based model that supports the manifest spec (thus avoiding the high learning curve of something like k8s). Even so, I have a sinking feeling that most of this will be folded into the ever-changing definition of devops, so small teams that manage an app's entire lifecycle (and are told to get on board with the new-fangled dealio by management) will have another layer of indirection to debug when something inevitably goes wrong. If Azure comes out with an implementation of OAM that uses their VSIs, I'll get interested. Then it'll at least provide real value/choice, and hopefully make it easier to migrate existing workloads that don't need an entire machine for themselves onto a k8s cluster.

This is a bias that a lot of investors often make ...
OAM is essentially a YAML file.
It can be put in a service catalog
or marketplace and deployed from there.
But what’s maybe most important, says
Russinovich, is that the developer can hand
off the specification to the ops team and the
ops team can then deploy it without having to
talk to the developer.

This statement sounds very backwards to me. Isn't this increasing the separation between devs and ops which we want to get rid of?
Are you comparing Bitcoin to settlement with gold to make Bitcoin seem less inefficient? This seems like a misleading comparison, because which significant central banks still physically move gold around for settlement? Either they don't move gold or it is only moved virtually, and in either case Bitcoin is vastly less efficient.
You don't need statistical models to figure out that if you're desperate to hire certain people and there's very few of them in your hiring pipeline, you'll turn a blind eye towards certain interview mistakes where you would normally disqualify candidates.
I'd argue that people generally want systems where you can revert transactions that you made by mistake at almost no additional cost.
You could almost certainly have done better by borrowing money and buying the right kind of options. If you're willing to give up half the upside for a stop-loss, you would collect quite a premium and should more than offset even usurious interest rates.
Don't you find the fact there is something to be equally weird? I mean, first there was nothing and everything was as it should be. Then: something! And time!

This is why I think the notion of free will is wrong. The initial nothingness wasn't nothing. It was mass, but without time. The way the particles were arranged in this nothingness determines a future that has already been carved in mass.
Or the free market was hindered by the government's regulatory Jim Crow laws.
> It kind of implicitly throws out the notion that there could be an issue with the measurement process/tools.

AFAIK this was the assumption early on, space dust, black holes/brown dwarfs (MACHOs), weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and more were the leading theories. These are all normal (for physicists/astronomers) matter that just we couldn't see due to measurement limitations, so dark matter was an appropriate name. Only after all these theories were falsified we had to look at more exotic explanations.

That's a political opinion. But regardless of its validity, I'm not convinced that this justifies a single Bitcoin transaction producing as much CO2 as 700,000 Visa transactions.
This is a bit of an iffy comparison.

The bitcoin network asics reach exactly 0 petaflops. Why? Because they cannot do any floating point operations. They can literally do just SHA256 hashes, nothing else.

The "worlds most powerful network" simply cannot do anything else than this. It's effectively just an expensive set of electrical heaters.
Dark matter explains both the gravitational pull of the galaxies and the orbits of the stars in it and the large-scale structure of the Universe – we live in the LambdaCDM universe.
Dark energy is the energy of the vacuum space itself. We can’t yet find a theory to calculate it without measuring correctly, but that’s the best explanation.

Aether was more a question of esthetics. It didn’t really help to explain anything and was quite easy to debunk.
Dark matter and dark energy are quite different. It might not be the endgame, but these are the best theories we have so far and they work pretty damn good.

So what are all these "looking for dark matter" experiments actually doing?
The Plasma Physics & Electric Universe models considers "dark matter" to be plasma in dark mode & utilizes equations used in Electrical Engineering & other Electrodynamic/Plasma models.

https://www.amazon.com/Physics-Plasma-Universe-Anthony-Perat...

Relativity (time dilation) & > 3 physical dimensional mathematics is rejected in favor of physical experimentation & interpreting physical phenomena through the lens of plasma behavior (dark & glow & arc modes, discharge, z-pinch, Birkeland Currents, etc). The EU model has successfully predicted surprising phenomona of asteroids/comets & astrogeology and makes bold interstellar predictions. Luminaries, deviating from the standard model, include Hannes Alfvén, Anthony Peratt, Ralph Jurgens, Immanuel Velikovsky, Kristian Birkeland, Nikoli Tesla, David Talbott, Donald Scott.

Recent physical experimental success include the SAFIRE project. "The SAFIRE PROJECT reactor generates energy densities analogous to the Sun's ...in a laboratory on Earth".

A way of thinking about it is that space isn't "something". Space is just the gaps between "something".

It seems like a lot of people think of the universe as a sort of container/volume that things exist inside, and then what is "outside the box" is a natural question, because there is a boundary to pass.

If you instead think of it as simply a description of the extent of a set of objects, it's easier. Picture a simulated universe with no fixed boundary, just a set of objects with coordinates.

"The universe" is just the set of objects, and it's volume is just the volume encompassing all of those objects at any time. The simulation doesn't contain any "space". Space in the simulation is just an absence of objects, and there's nothing special about "outside" or "inside" in that situation. If the objects move further away, the universe gets bigger. If you "travel" to the edge of the universe, and travel further, the universe gets bigger. If you try to traverse the current "edge of the universe", the edge moves with you.

There are theories where there might be something "outside" our universe in one or more dimensions, but there's no reason why something absolutely needs to have an "outside".

Well, to be honest, all the great engineering and innovation is in other products, either completely unrelated to, or utilizing but not dependent on, Windows 10 (i.e. all the cloud things, a lot of hardware, etc.) The only thing that they did with Windows 10 is WSL, which I give them credits for, but I do not use it.

In any case, Windows 10 is a pretty bad OS, ignoring the privacy violations and telemetry, update annoyances, etc., the reason I think it is a bad OS is because of how bad it runs on a lot of hardware, including really expensive desktop Ryzen PCs with 32GB of RAM and a NVMe SSD. It's sluggish, it takes ages to open Explorer, Calculator, etc., and the built-in apps such as Settings often crash or get stuck. It's not due to software, that happens on a lot of hardware on a fresh install of Windows 10 19H1/1903/May2019Update thing.
