I don't see a realistic way to include every social group of human, proportionally to their impact. This is enormous task. And if we could - would you read news that has 20% content praising chairman Winnie-the-Pooh Xi? Because that's what proportional system would bring. Or 20% news about benefits of peasful islam.

If whole country pushes certain narrative would it make the truth due to sheer number of supporters?

I'm 48, and suffered from debilitating back pain until the last few years; it started when I was badly beaten up when I was 19, and got worse as the years went on - each episode would become worse and longer-lasting until around 7-8 years ago it was so bad I was in constant pain all day, every day, but with episodes of pain so bad I can't really describe it every couple of months or so. I've never been overweight or had any other issues, and people couldn't understand why my back was so bad or the pain so intense. (me included)

It was only learning to relax (and starting meditation) and stopping seeing my body as the enemy (thanks to the kind encouragement of my girlfriend as well as working with Alexander technique teachers) that I started to make any improvement, and this combined with appropriate physical exercises has meant that I've been fortunate to have nearly 2 years of normal life (which to me in the past would have just been a dream) - no spasms, no 'episodes', and now I can do normal things like go for a walk and not worry if I'll make it back, etc.

I was physically abused by my father when I was a child (fortunately he died when I was 8), and I really didn't think it had effected me much, but I now realise I spend most of my time out in public assessing who poses a physical attack risk to me, and it's only since talking my my girlfriend about it (she's training to be a counsellor and has this book by her bed) that I've realised that this is -not- normal!

My life is unrecognisably better since taking this sort of thinking on board. I'm definitely a 'science' person - lifelong atheist, try to be as rational as possible, etc - but we still don't know everything, particularly of how incredibly complex the human brain is, and how it can control so much of not only our experience, but our existence.
> Can someone explain what's going on here?

The founders retained voting control of the company when they raised outside capital. SoftBank - really, Masayoshi Son - is now buying both the voting control and the shares. Since these things have value, SoftBank is paying for them, though less than they would have 6 months ago and potentially less than they would have at the time they invested.

If you want to blame anyone, blame SoftBank for negotiating very poorly as they invested in WeWork. I’m not convinced that anyone is to blame, though, since SoftBank had every right to make that decision and all parties knew the risks. Everyone, including employees, knew and accepted that the founders controlled the company in perpetuity… which made no more sense 3 months ago than it does now. At some point, something like this - the founders or their heirs selling their control and equity - was going to happen, even if it was 5 or 50 years in the future. The company was transparently structured to put the founders first.

When I was living in the states I was surprised about the sad state of e-commerce there. I was used to e-commerce sites like bol.com and coolblue (local giants) in the low countries, which have a thousands time better service (on all levels) than Amazon, or basically any webshop I tried in the US. Of course, there's also just better consumer protection rights in the EU, but the above mentioned websites go way beyond what's required by law.
Answer is simple - we think we know it. Once you think you know something it immediately all excitement and interest disappears. But can you really know anything absolutely, fully in this Universe? Someone involved into science should answer what grows more with study - knowledge or realization of one's own ignorance?

Someone said "I know only one thing - I know nothing", to me this is the most profound understanding of the limitation our knowledge has.

I have some experience with this, ie ensuring LLVM optimizes and codegens the "best"! I have been working to generate target independent "kernels" for the Rav1e AV1 encoder and have had to do a lot of unidiomatic things to get LLVM to generate machine code similar in quality to hand written ASM. Granted, this is on integers and not floats, but the same principles should apply.

What I've found is that you need to ignore most of Rust: use/load raw pointers, don't use slices, unroll manually, vectorize manually, and check preconditions manually. You'll still get the amazing type system, but the code will have to be more C-like than Rust-like.

* raw pointers: LLVM is pretty good at optimizing C code. Rust specific optimization needs some work. (edit: I assumed arrays here, so you'll need the pointer for offsets; references are still okay. You'd also use the pointers for iterating instead of the usual slice iteration patterns)

* no slices: index checking is expensive, not to the CPU, the CPU rarely misses the check branches, but to the optimizer. I've found these are mostly left un-elided, even after inlining.

* no slices: slice indexing uses overflow checking. For Rav1e's case, the block/plane sizes mean that doing the index calculation using `u32` will never overflow, so calculating the offsets using u32 is fine (I'll have to switch to using a pseudo u24 integer for GPUs though, because u32 is still expensive on them).

* unroll manually: LLVM would probably do more of this with profiling info, but I've never found it (this is subjective!) to do any unrolling w/o. Maybe if all the other items here are also done...

* vectorize manually: Similar to unrolling. I've observed only limited automatic vectorization.

* And to get safety back: check, check, and check before calling the fast kernel! Ie wrap the kernel function with one that does all the checks elided in the kernel.

Might be off topic but I live to think about how well Japan has leveraged tourism. Eight years ago Japanese tourism was near 100% domestic. Japanese would visit mountains, onsen, and rural family. The idea that foreigners might be interested seemed absurd.

Yet around the time of the great earthquake the Abe government say tourism as a possible plug for the massive negative current account balance. The shutdown of nuclear reactors left Japan importing vast volumes of fossil fuels. Tourism leveraged existing capital, the hotels shrines and transport networks japan has always had, while bringing foreign money.

Since then Japan has been signing visa free travel treaties with every non-hostile nation imaginable. As a side effect the Japanese passport is now the most "powerful" passport in the world.

Tokyo and Osaka can handle the foreign hordes no problem, but Kyoto has could not. It is as if Japan has sacrificed the old capital to supply the rest of the nation with fuel.

The government is still playing a 40% increase over the next many years. It will be interesting to see how Kyoto manages, and if other tourist destinations can arise.
I don't get why he's calling it authentic. It's a simulacrum, just like porn to real sex.

But it makes me think of this photo series http://www.photography.at/_fake_holidays.html (or with more words: https://medium.com/gone/surreal-photos-from-inside-the-fake-...) of faked vacation spots: a ski hall in Dubai or of a tropical beach inside a hangar in Germany. And I have to wonder, how "authentic" is even Reykjavik nowadays? It certainly has been Disneyfied with the many many souvenir shops and "trendy" cafes, and as the article said, x years ago it used to be empty, and now it's full of tourists, so it certainly isn't "authentic" Reykjavik.

But then again, maybe tourists nowadays are just like watchers of porn. They know it's fake, but it's what they're seeking anyway. I was in Iceland in July, and even with the tourists, the nature is still great. Although I had to wonder what people were actually doing... they see something pretty and their first reaction is, "I have to take a picture of this!".

That is definitely not true if your adversary has the ability to control the endpoint and might even reflash the firmware of your USB stick.

Yes, thanks, I've since read that - excellent and thorough article.
In the end: yes! Although the situation isn't quite the same: if a rental car company would "steal" as much public parking slots for their currently idle vehicles as those Scooters steal sidewalk space from pedestrians, the issue would be swiftly dealt with by the "city authorities".

Those Scooters being piled up on the sidewalks are indeed annoying, but we've also become blind about the fact that cars in general steal much more public space.

This blows, not so much because Stripe is leaving SF, but because it's going just over the border for tax purposes so 100% of employees who live in SF will stay in SF. The company just won't pay their fair share to the city to offset their impact.

The line about this being about space and not taxes is hard to believe.[1] And for good reason. Last year Stripe funded an anti-homeless campaign just $1 shy of the reporting threshold, initially, until they were exposed.[2] That's not something you do if you're proud of sharing your true motivations.

When I interviewed at Amazon a couple of years ago (for a team on the retail side of things, this was their bread-and-butter) I raised this very point with my interviewer, about my concerns over the data-quality issues I was having lately with item properties/attributes and miscategorization. My interviewer said the main problem was bad data coming from their Marketplace and other third-party vendors. - he said this is was why they recently (at the time) brought in the great minds and heavy-guns for machine-learning to fix all of these issues - and at the time (2016-2017) I noticed things were improving.

But lately - over the past year or so - I've seen things getting worse - I'm assuming because the problem of well-meaning but ultimately inadequate data from Marketplace sellers is now solved - but what remains is fighting bad data from intentionally incorrect metadata from malicious third-party sellers seeking to game the system - which we see today in spades with counterfeit sellers, for example.

Amazon's data-quality issue mirrors Google's perennial black-hat-SEO problem - I think it'll keep their teams occupied for decades at this rate.

Is it Pandas based? I'm a bioinformatician and many of my data work flows start with pandas.read_excel() and end with pandas.DataFrame().to_excel(). I had some serious issues with it but I have come to terms with it. Actually Excel is ok as a central project "database" (up to certain size of course), anyone can quickly fill in a lot or rows (the smart dragging, the macro's that take in other Excel files, drop-downs for categories that I later use in Pandas/Seaborn...) and programmatically dealing with it is not too bad (pandas for bulk stuff, openpyxl for very fine-grained control and even conditional formatting, which we use a lot, etc).
Sorry! I don't think this is developer friendly. You are just pushing your problem to the developers. Do you really think developers will be able to make it faster than your implementation? Take your example of caching indices. Do I cache for each search filter and where do I store them? And again, do I serially execute all pages to cache cursors to build pagination on top of them?
Although you're right that anything but OTPs give you guarantees and that cryptography is still a black art (with lots of unrealistic conditional proofs), good cryptography can be completely open and will be no less secure if it is published, so there is really no need to kidnap the cryptographer.

There is also good reason to assume that if e.g. you make your own Feistel cipher out of existing cryptographic primitives without caring too much about performance, then it will be secure enough against state actors.

Nowadays side channel attacks seem to be the rule, and there is no way to secure the endpoints without developing the whole technology in-house - which is essentially impossible even for organized crime. So the whole discussion is essentially moot, the FBI can buy 0-day exploits on the black market or develop their own like everyone else.

Nope, calling bull on this. Not by a long shot. Japan has been a major international tourist destination, particularly in the winter for at least 20 years.

I've been trying to read up a bit on the methane clathrate "bomb" or "gun" theory lately, it seems to be popular among some fringe "we're all gonna die anyway" communities. Though my impression was that the vast majority of climate scientists don't consider it to be a very plausible threat [1]. It is based on some real scientific publications, but as far as I can tell in the realm of "very implausible theory".

There is definitely a concern about multiple feedback loops involving methane from clathrates, permafrost and also wetlands. There's also considerable uncertainty about the origin of methane emissions. But as far as I can tell the methane "bomb" theory shouldn't be our major concern.

That's exactly how it's done. :)
Visa is mainly economical. If it is likely for a person to come as tourist but stay for economical reasons, visa is needed. So you can give rich countries visa free treatment because their people are unlikely to stay, and you want to keep people from poor countries in check with visa requirements.

Backdoors have been revealed a few times in US products, but US companies have learned their lesson and appear to be pushing back. 9/11 is almost a decade in the past and the Snowden revelations embarrassed several companies. Things like warrant canaries are pretty common and companies like Apple have been publicly fighting government attempts to access Apple devices in court.

One thing the US has going for it is that unlike some countries, is that companies are more scared of their customers than the government.

And if you close your eyes in a lit place (outside in the sun, etc), you probably don't see phosphenes at all, just various shapes and colors caused by small leakage of light through the eyelid skin).

That's a rather uncharitable characterization. SF is just trying to tie jobs to adequate housing construction. We already have way too few houses, especially low-income housing.[1] Which is what makes Stripe's move here particularly low integrity: they'll have all the housing impact on SF without paying any of the corporate taxes.

From your own source: "A separate economic feasibility study from the City's Office of Economic and Workforce Development found that a range of office projects are 'currently infeasible,' even without a city fee increase. The study did contend that an improvement in market conditions could make a modest fee increase viable."

Video memory addressing could have become quite a bit simpler and faster if the width would be nice round 2^N number (e.g. 32, 64 or 128 characters on a line), especially on limited 8-bit machines of the 70s and 80s. So 40 or 80 is indeed a somewhat strange choice (at least those numbers aren't completely odd though, with 40=(2^5)+(2^3) and 80=(2^6)+(2^4).

I bet you wouldn't. What are the odds that Kris Kresser without any formal training or experience managed to better understand the science behind such a complex topic like heart disease than full-time scientists and cardiologists?

Self-learning is great for a lot of things, but heart disease is likely not one of them.
