@Dan, fyi, useTransition is already used as a hook name by the quite popular react-spring animation lib. I mean, I can migrate old code bases to import { useTransition as useSpringTransition } or I just import yours as { useTransition as useReactTransition }.

Not a big thing but also not really elegant. How would you deal with this?
I had problems with git blocking because I was accessing git too much, can you share how to do the same with some tool like proxycrawl?
Thanks for the advice I'll keep an eye on it. As far as I'm aware he's home basically 100% of the time so that unfortunately doesn't help narrow anything down lol
I agree with you. I used to think that marketing is just another department's job.

Tough crowd! Congrats on launching. Not a tool I personally need (already have all the keyboard shortcuts I need), but I'll try to keep it in mind in case the occasion arises.
This makes me wonder. What such booming technology is there right now where I can contribute something like this and make a mark for myself?

Having born much later in the history of Internet, I think I have missed out on many of the early magical years of the Internet.

But if I can get involved in some other technology that is in early stage and booming and where I have a chance to contribute something that may become a de-facto standard 10 years from now, that's something I will be very interested to invest my time on.
Forget the national security concerns (though they could well be valid, would not be surprised if so) ... what about the potential for child exploitation? The softporn/borderline actual porn that children are allowed to post of themselves to be viewed by anybody? It amazes me that very little has been said about this in the mainstream press. Just do a YouTube search for "hottest tiktok videos" and convince yourself that child predators aren't using this platform. Some YouTuber did a big "expose" of this a while back and had his video deleted (and then reinstated?), typical YouTube drama etc. but it was quite eye opening. I would never allow my children anywhere near such a platform.
Interesting. I don't remember using floppies after 1999.

A lot of comments are saying we could eat the urchins. Sure. But creating yet another mass food production from a single species is like what we did with cows - now we have an ecosystem with a single point of failure.

The only way to fix this is to have as complex and diverse a food web as possible. That way if one species goes down, like the way the sun starfish has, everything else doesn't collapse around it.

To be fair, as far as people in Wisconsin are concerned, the deal can't really get any worse, per sé. It was already pretty clear that we'd been hosed a long time ago. Then, mercifully, the trade war came along and may kill it completely if the Gods favor us!

It is very possible that there will be action against Mr. Neumann. Any court of competent jurisdiction would likely rule that he was in breach of his fiduciary responsibility. There are even richer people who are not happy with him, who can hire even bigger armies of lawyers to make his life hard. I'm guessing they'll wait until they've got the company locked down and him out, then start going after him.
My experience with image classification benchmarks was that they approached human levels only because the scoring only counts how much they get “right” and doesn’t penalize completely whack answers as much as they should (like getting full credit for being pretty sure a picture of a dog was either a dog or an alligator). I suspect there’s something similar going on in these language benchmarks.
Yeah but if you use Qml you can do whatever you want. That's the magic.

This was an issue of bad timing, not a bad business model. People weren't really mentally at the point of buying such thing on-line, and pets.com burnt through their cash so quickly that it couldn't wait for people to start adopting it.

What about companies where different parts of the company have differing work arrangements? For instance, my telco has some union workers in specific roles, as well as non-union retail staff, and a "management professional" category. If union people were getting laid off, it would be due to the role, but of course there would be no non-union workers in that role.

What’s your view on the ethics of doing this for users who haven’t signed up or otherwise provided any info, and thus think they’re anonymous?

Do you think most otherwise-anonymous Web visitors know or understand that IP->individual/business lookups are possible (for IPs which don’t have reverse DNS or SWIP entries)? It seems like basically no Web visitors know about IP data appending.

If or when this does become mainstream knowledge, how do you think the general public will react?
How to Get Rid of Back Fat: 10 Best Exercises, Foods to Eat
I freedive the Pacific coast on a weekly basis year-round. The little purples are actually tastier than the commercially harvested reds to me, but it's a lot less meat for just as much work. I don't see them really making this work commercially, especially as much as the states (especially California) limit commercial urchin permits.

Thing is, the environment will sort itself out. Two years ago the urchin blight was hitting SoCal extremely hard. This year isn't so bad, a lot of places have kelp coming back extremely thick, and the purples aren't creating any kind of apocalypse. While it's true that there aren't as many sea otters as there were in yesteryear there are plenty of reef fish that eat the urchins. Sheephead are very numerous and they love crunching those guys - in fact every time I gut one it's packed full of purple urchin debris. In five years I'm sure there'll be an imbalance with too many sheephead, and we'll have some other article to read and worry about.

The brilliance of the problem is that you're led to think that the odds have changed.

I think there's a psychological component too. So many probability questions are about random events so you (very naturally) take a position that the revealed door is randomly chosen. It is NOT - you always see one of the goats.

I mean, they should probably feel like fools believing there was child sex trafficking going on in the basement of a building that has no basement, even if some other conspiracies turn out to be real. It's a textbook case of mob mentality that so many people believed the lies and nobody did even basic legwork.

(And let's note: it's not like 4chan broke open Epstein's crimes. Old fashioned FBI legwork did. And the guy had a history of sex trafficking already, which nobody in Pizzagate did. As fun as it is to pretend to be an armchair sleuth, it sure isn't a pass-time that's got a good batting average over professional investigation).

Follow along with this story, its a crazy rabbit hole into a late-capitalism where actual production of goods is completely abandoned, and instead the state directly funds 100% pure profit with no social or productive benefits. Literal pure theft.

It was also how I found out that I could now have a whopping 2GB hard disk in my own machine - or that I could upgrade my 486 to a pentium with this cool new thing called the Pentium Overdrive. Computer mags were especially exciting because you got to see the progress of technology.

I think most people back in the day came away from these magazines wanting more things they didn't even know existed prior to opening it up.

Most all of my coworkers from East Bay drive in, but my office is in Mission Bay and BART doesn't go there. People used to take BART to the shuttles but so many people were quitting as a company retention thing they started letting everyone wfh during rush hours, commute off hours and gave people free parking instead. I like the flexibility but it's still a pita.

Bay Area needs more robust interconnected public transit, and higher density housing near transit hubs.

Those aren't necessarily inherent flaws, they're bad execution. Ride-sharing _can_ be very profitable, but it's also supposed to be very low-overhead. SV startups don't do low-overhead.

Electric scooters are a little iffier, as they take significantly more capex and there isn't much data on market acceptance (Or, at least, none of which I know.)

Meal-in-a-box is not a bad idea either; new people are showing up every day whining about how, "Adult-ing is hard." The fact that people eventually "graduate" is not an issue so long as more people are being born. It's just not necessarily something Joe Six-Pack is going to buy.

If you've noticed a common theme here, it's that the idea of hyper-scaling can be flawed. The above all have significantly lower threshold for market saturation than they believe, if you ask me.

Ride-sharing can be successful, but may not take over the world. Electric scooters can be successful, but may not take over the world. Meal-in-a-box can be successful, but may not take over the world.

SV gets stuck in the pareto trap of scaling past economies of scale and to the point where that next 20% of your customer base takes 80% of your capital. You can push scaling, but the market only moves so fast.
If you mutate an object itself, we can't really track that. There's no magic going on; you can break the state if you use mutable objects. It's less of an issue in Scala where immutable data structures are the norm, but I can imagine it would be disappointing in Python.

Currently it takes a shallow copy of the state output by each cell, meaning every value is going to be a primitive value or a reference. If it's a reference to mutable state, you're kind of on your own with respect to keeping reproducibility. I felt like this was a good compromise between strictly enforced reproducibility and practicality; if it turns out to be confusing we could consider deep copying the state, or having an option to do that (I could imagine it being pretty bad for efficiency in a lot of ML use cases, though).
Maybe this is something that change during the 80s, but my understanding is that the people you are talking about were mainly referred to as "crackers".

The demos in keygens and intros were commonly known as "cracktros".

+1 for the terrific analogy!
I think a huge part of it is that music videos in general are highly sexualised. Vine isn't about just music videos, you can post whatever. TikTok is specifically for music videos, so kids will see popular music videos where celebs are scantily dressed or whatever, and then emulate it. And then other kids come along and see what their friends are posting and want to do it too, and the cycle just continues. Add to that the fact it isn't US based (and so probably isn't moderated as heavily) and you get what we have now.

edit: confused by the down votes. Not sure what is being disagreed with? Miley cyrus wearing so little you can see her bum cheeks is what I'd consider sexualised. Maybe you don't? Do you think it's okay for 12 year olds to be posting that on TikTok? Am I just a prude?

I'm surprised if there are many TikTok users in the US.

What is the draw of that app? The description on Wikipedia says is it is for "markets outside China" but all the content I see upvoted on reddit appears to be from China. Do they just take the popular videos from China's version (that the West has never seen) and inject them into TikTok, making TikTok appear to be popular/high quality?

Well you got the whole search and discover issue.
Yeah, but "painkiller" is often/mostly used to refer to opioid painkillers in the US these days.
It's important to note that to a large extent, this is the reality of bringing consumer goods manufacturing back to the US. The only way it will ever make financial sense for companies to do so is if it either comes with a massive subsidy or if the number of human jobs is small. Any deal promising thousands of blue collar jobs doing what is far cheaper to do elsewhere should probably be regarded as bullshit until proven otherwise.

Note: this does not necessarily apply beyond "cheap" consumer goods. For example, cars and trucks are still produced at many US plants for a variety of reasons.
How would these things work for database storage? Do you need to worry about them wearing out like with flash?
It's not quite the same being shown a bad door vs a bad boxer that you were told would always result in a draw otherwise. That means the other boxer is always the better one (or the car), it doesn't take into account that the winning boxer could be what you have.
If anyone hasn't really noticed this, a good example is try changing the mouse pointer speed (which is surely a pretty common thing to want to do!).

> But the lawmakers say because TikTok is owned by a Beijing-based company, it could be compelled by the Chinese government to turn over user data — such as location data, cookies, metadata and more — even if it’s stored on servers it owns in the United States.

An analogy: To protect data from potential acquirement by the US government, EU should shut out Google from Europe? This doesn't make sense and is completely political. Watching politicians trying to gain brownie points and _sound like they care_ while not actually doing anything useful hurts my eyes.
