Well, it's all a little ambiguous. You can choose to pre-publish or not, and you can choose to announce whenever you want: before pre-publishing, after but before publishing, and at the moment of publication itself.

It's certainly true that they announced early, but it's also true that the community at large regarded it with appropriate skepticism, causing the whole thing to be self-corrected in months.
Agreed, the title is spreading FUD and is very clickbaity.

>Perhaps this implies that no matter how rich society gets, there'll always be people who just burn though whatever they earn. This would partially explain why people in poor countries like China and India are still able to save a greater percantage of their income than people in western countries who earn an order of magnitude more.

What's the connection there you're implying [1]? I would think that the higher (capacity to) save is an artifact of peer pressure/ecosystem effects. If a frugal person is still expected to have a big house, or else be seen as weird, that imposes a constraint that forces a lower savings rate than they prefer.

It's a hard Gordian knot to cut, but once everyone expects normal people to pay a certain expense, you can get stuck in that kind of bad equilibrium.

A cynical view - alas it captures the truth.

It is very easy to point fingers, to blame it on funding, blame it on journals, blame it on media, but in the end:

- scientists decide who gets funded

- scientists decide who gets published

- scientists make exaggerated claims in the media

The source of the problem is the scientists, not understanding the damage they are doing to themselves.

I do foresee downvotes, because scientists do not like this idea at all :-)

Stable or slightly declining, but that is a personal choice I made as I focused on my career.

Unlike many, I don't update or A/B test anything after a product launch, so once a product is out launched, it's done from my perspective.

With some more effort, I could be growing, either by launching new products (last product launch was in February) or by starting up my ad campaigns again (I cancelled most of them in April to improve profitability at the cost of slower turnover).

I was let go about two weeks ago, if I can't find anything I love working on, I'll take this full time and (hopefully) go back to growing.
The solution is pretty simple. We need to design electric highways that have a self driving lane. In the self driving lane there is guidance in the road that assist self driving cars. Since the cars are self driving they can coast in 80km/h sharing the lane with trucks. Add electric supply and rails to lessen the tire friction and we are a long way to reduce carbon emissions from transportation.

For city centers cars should for now assist the driver but not self drive as the system are not yet safe enough todo so. From machine learning we know that image analysis has probabilities associated with them. Probably might not be safe enough in cities.
>You can turn off Windows telemetry.

See, turning off telemetry (if it is even possible to turn it off fully) was implemented to be complex on purpose, so that most people can't do it and won't do it.

But Microsoft can still trumpet to the world that "you can turn it off if you want".

I'm not too convinced.

Let's assume we devote 70% of the 1TB cap to streaming (netflix, youtube, etc.). This leaves 300GB for anything else, which be more than enough. Using netfilx's highest bitrate for 1080p, we get 268 hours of content for 700 GB. At the highest bitrate for 720p, we get 518 hours of content. Dividing that by 30 days, we get 8.9 and 17.3 hours per day for 1080p and 720p respectively. 8.9 hours split among two screens (one for kids and one for adults) might be tight if they don't have anything else to do, but 17.3 hours sounds more than enough if the kids are in school and the adults are employed full-time.

5 Lesser-Known Pandas Tricks
Can 35M Book Buyers Be Wrong? Yes. (2000)
Your whole reply just oozes with paternalistic co-dependence. Do you realize that?

You seem to think you supremely know what is best for the poor. You seem to think you know that not pointing out foolishness to those being foolish is a good thing.

And you seem to think it is not only your duty, but also that you are one to impose what you believe if best for those who you think are poor.

Have you ever asked the poor whether they desire your benevolent meddling in their lives?

You are literally expressing concern for lenders who knowingly are either taking risks that they will have to bear the cost of, or they are collateralizing the risky loans on to others who should be sophisticated entities that should be evaluating the risk contained in the securities they will be acquiring.

You should be keeping your concern for other people's individual lives in you pants. But if you are going to have a concern, start having a valid and healthy concern with the systemic risk of these subprime loans being bundled and collateralized into people's retirement accounts and pension funds on fraudulent or negligent circumstances.

Because when it comes down to it; if you have known any of the types of people that take out these loans, they not only don't want you meddling in their lives, but they resent the notion of being denied something that is being dangled before their eyes when they can't realize the consequences of their action just mere minutes out. Reality is also that if you are concerned for the poor, your worries should not be directed towards the individuals that may have to suffer the consequences of their own actions (regardless of whether you like what they do with their lives or not), but you should be concerned with these subprime loans triggering systemic cascading failures throughout the whole system that will put people out of business, poor that did it to themselves and middle class who didn't alike.

If you want to become the savior of the poor, go ahead, put your own money and time in place to inform and educate them on their foolishness. They will appreciate it … surely.

"3D touch" on the iPhone 11 is a mess now because it activates some intentful interaction by simply leaving your thumb on the display for too long.

At least with the peloton purchase, it sounds like they are using Affirm. Generally if you have good credit, interest rate is zero. I've seen it on other high ticket items for sale online. In this case Affirm reduces the friction of buying higher priced products.

The phone I'm typing on now was financed through symphony credit. Zero interest, and 36 monthly installments. I'm sure there are penalties if I don't pay every month, but it's on auto pay.
Makes a lot of sense from a business perspective. If a senior person can train 10 more junior people, who then produce higher quality work and stick around at the company to become senior, everybody wins.
The argument is weak, but it's also desperate. These days trying to influence companies often comes down to some argument based on objective costs. "You are modifying my content against my wishes and adding latency to my Internet browsing experience" isn't objective.

Personally I think it is morally wrong, and it also is definitely impacting a person's Internet experience. 1/4 of a second is an eternity if you're sensitive to latency. So yeah it is "that bad", it is ugly, it is intrusive, and it speaks volumes about Comcast.

AFAIK, if you have a plan that comes with the Xfinity router, you don't have a data cap. Otherwise, you need to pay for unlimited data (which is pretty hard to explain to the call center people who really want to sell you cable and/or a landline).
I think part of the reason is battle-testing. Blaze (the Google internal version of Bazel) has been used by 20k people per day for well over five years to continually build a single mammoth shared C++, Java, Python, Shell (plus others) code base complete with a globally distributed cache system and thousands if not tens of thousands of build machines.

I went with Comcast Business, and they don't have data caps...
Not sure how to properly put an adjective to it, but I'm doing some side money on crypto trading.

I started with a rather small amount of money (~0.15 btc) that grew to around ~0.21 in two months before the shitcoin I was playing with went literally to shit (They are not called shitcoins for nothing) and was left with around ~0.12.

I'm testing the waters now with a more stable shitcoin.

FWIW mine is (seems to be, at least) a very stable brute force approach. That I'll make no comments about ;)

P.S.: I obviously have data to back up my claims - the transactions log of my crypto exchange account - but as well the "method" I'm employing can be inferred from there, as it's rather obvious.
Correct, this is why I'm wondering. Input is done through hiragana such as "わたし" (or even a step further removed, transliterated from "watashi") and then the IME is triggered to convert it to "私" (or other matches).

On a laptop, my experience is that romaji -> hiragana is as-you-type due to being unambiguous, while the default trigger for hiragana -> kanji is the spacebar, same as described for Korean. Hence my confusion as to how it's different - the individual characters certainly are, but it sounds functionally identical.

On my phone just now, typing this comment, the experience was switching to a Japanese keyboard and inputting the hiragana directly, then the kanji suggestions appeared where autocorrect suggestions normally would.
Yeah very few houses actually have been signed up so far. They're doing it on a street-by-street basis starting in the old town area.
You can very often rewrite uses of the cut like:

foo(X, Y) :-
some_condition(X),
!,
bar(Y, X).
foo(X, Y) :-
baz(X, Y).

to:

foo(X, Y) :-
( some_condition(X)
-> bar(Y, X)
; baz(X, Y) ).

and get the same performance and clearer code.

There are really very few actually useful uses of the cut in modern Prolog code. But we have no good, free, current teaching materials, so people get stuck learning the old ugly and convoluted ways.
First off, completely disregarding the legal status of this, it is both hilarious and encouraging to see this. Why? Because people too often seem to forget that companies you work for actively are likely trying to minimize how much you get from them, regardless of the value you give them. In this situation, Francis is a key employee on the team (the poster says as much), yet he has office politics torpedo a promotion. As far as the company training goes, Francis is doing everything wrong. As far as how you should behave towards a company that does not respect you or anywhere near your value, he's doing a good job playing the cards he has.

I have no empathy for bad company policies or politics. In this situation, a good response would have been for HR to tell Francis how valuable they think he is to the company and that they were going to push through a different path for the promotion, and then to actually do it. Francis likely would not be acting this way without an obvious pattern of disrespect in the culture, and a feeling of being used by the company. If he sees the company (HR) show how much they value him and fight for him to be compensated more because of that, he would likely back off his defensive and combative stance.

This does not work for most location datasets. It is easy to Re identify users in this type of dataset with a few lines of code. The identifying information is embedded in the locations and time stamps themselves. Research shows 4 randomly selected location points from a phone is all that is needed to uniquely identify 95% of the population.

I have Xfinity and they’ve done this to me. It only happened to my wife when she was browsing. My data Cap has hit 90% this month but I haven’t seen the message. 4K Netflix is no joke and can easily make me hit 1TB.

Safari is my main browser and I recently stopped using Chrome. I believe my wife uses Chrome. Maybe this doesn’t work on Safari?
The injections where particularly annoying for me because I was planning on getting the capped removed, but wanted to use those two months before doing so. I started getting those warnings about 2-3 weeks in for both months.

If you've gone over before, they will charge you $10/50GB of additional data, capping at $200 more a month.

You can pay them an extra $50/mo to remove the data cap.

This is coming from someone who unknowingly got a $200 bill one month because of Comcast.

I left them and don't regret a second of it. Terrible customer service all around, and just an evil company from the top down, especially after having read Farrow's recent book Catch and Kill.
If that's the case they should have released it a few days later, to avoid looking insecure. Because that's what it looks like, and I'm not the only one on the thread who sees it that way.
