>Art criticism is no different than any other field... it's completely baffling to people without education in it, and makes total and obvious sense to those who do.

Many fields are not baffling to people without specialized education.

Your description of Pollock’s mural reminds me of this: https://xkcd.com/915/
>> But if your business is buying and reselling things

You mean like the vast majority of all consumer goods? Very few people buy direct from the manufacturer - isn't this exactly what amazon is, minus the requirement of having to buy the product to be the MITM?
How well they keep time should not necessarily be the only consideration, though. A couple of years ago, I went shopping for a cheap watch, because it's been years since I've used one and I wanted to feel one again. Most of the ones I saw on sale (all cheap ones) were incredibly bulky, so comfort is a consideration. Most couldn't be read in the dark, so that's another consideration. The one I ended up getting fell apart in a month, so construction is yet another consideration.
Your assumption here is that actual conflict with a modern nation using conventional weaponry is possible, perhaps the majority of conflicts we have and/or the conflict we should prepare for, and will last more than the flight time of Nuclear warheads.

I would argue that future conflicts are either proxy conflicts against less equipped forces (see Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, conflicts with limited, focused objectives (Secure a piece of ground that is critical, say the Straits of Hormuz), and existential conflict that results in nuclear war.

If it gets to the point that we are in "actual conflict" that is existential (meaning in this case specifically American survival depends on it) with a "modern nation" (I'm assuming you're talking about somebody that has nuclear weapons and a relatively developed nation state - say, China, Russia?) it would be difficult to avoid considering nuclear weapons.

As a result, Aircraft Carriers might be the weapon we continue to use most as a practical matter, with our strategic arsenal backstop still in place.

Probably doomsaying, but it's difficult to see it shaking out another way. I'm not saying we go straight to warheads, but anything more than testing each side in a way that leads to a negotiation likely escalates quickly.
Is running via Mono available for current Netduino devices? I see a lot of references in the docs to the .NET MicroFramework:

No, I run into this with my Linode also. Basically any of the large VPS providers and some of the smallest are well known to other services for being used to automate scraping or other things. Linkedin is a great example of one that (used to anyway, haven't tried in a while) completely block any IP that was known to be from a VPS provider.
It's there in all its glory for the state. Massive surveillance to create a permanent record of everything about everyone.
I think it's more of the other way around. To have happy moments you have to have suffering moments to compare to how bad it could be.

Basically: who gets happier when they get a gift? Someone who doesn't get gifts a lot, or someone who's always getting gifts?
I don't think any of my personal websites be HTTPS without LetsEncrypt. It's great for that use case.
Which platforms are going to do the targeting and how long does it take for the weapons to arrive? Carriers don't just sit in one spot waiting to get hit.
I don't know the answer to your question, but why do disagree so strongly?
Barack Obama thinks 'woke' kids want purity. They don't: they want progress

There are a lot of things the general public do not understand about art. One of those is that to some artists, especially ones that create non-representative art, the process of creating their art is just as or even more important than the final product.

To a consumer, viewer, or critic of art, the value of a work of art may be in the final product, but the artist may not view it that way at all, and it could be valuable to them because of, say, the way the process made them feel at the time, or how it helped them work through some personal issues they were going through.

So, yeah, you might feel like some abstract work of art is "garbage", or think that "my 2 year old could do that" or something, but your reaction is really irrelevant to some artists. Some artists want to be seen, recognized, acknowledged, and appreciated by the public, while others work just for themselves and really couldn't care less what you or anyone else thinks of their work.

As an abstract, visual artist myself, I find my work to be very meditative for me, and akin sometimes to digging through layers of earth and excavating something buried within, which can be fun, intriguing, or therapeutic for me. I do strive to make the final result pleasing to myself, but to me the process of creating the work itself has value, and what some random person off the street thinks of it is really of no consequence to me.

As for what a painting is worth on the art market, you have to realize that for many art buyers, these paintings are seen as investments, and their price is determined by what people are willing to pay for them (which is often determined by what they think these paintings will be worth to other investors in the future), not necessarily by them having any "objective value".

Also, what's often valued in art market and to academic critics is someone doing something first, or stretching the boundaries of what is considered art. The first "blue canvas" or whatever, is worth a lot of money even though it took absolutely no skill to create, while anyone else creating a "blue canvas" today would be ignored because they're neither being original nor pushing the boundaries of what's considered art.

As Salvador Dali once said, "The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot."

On the other hand, the value of art in the art market is a testament to Any Warhol's definition of art: "Art is anything you can get away with."
And when these private companies become large enough they become the de-facto public forum.
The Last McDonalds in Iceland
As a person who spent majority of his life in Russia, your comment is the one that makes me crack up, not the parent one. And I can safely say that the same would hold true for most of the people from those countries who were lucky enough to be exposed to all sides of coverage on the issue.

If you think the way western media covers things is biased and dishonest (which it sometimes is, I admit), you have no idea how bad it is over there. It is a completely different degree of delusion that cannot even be called "bending the truth", it is straight up aggressive lying and fear-mongering that can barely even be rivaled by Alex Jones and his InfoWars.
MS had a solid OS with Windows Phone 7 years before Android had anything resembling a good user experience.

Waiting years between updates with no news pushes away OEMs and ensures consumers forget you even exist.
My personal impression is decentralized tech — at least with regard to established equivalent functionality — is still in a kind of emergent state. I think there's a lot of options, and there's some coalescing around some standards, but the landscape is a little chaotic in terms of standards and options. My guess is that will take a little while for people to adopt certain standards, and it will require more niche communities to do so first, followed by the broader population. I'm not even quite sure that the current offerings, in their current forms, are necessarily what will get adopted.

Also too, I think the software-as-a-service and cloud model has created a certain expectation among society, that everything is handed off to someone else. Decentralized tech requires a bit more involvement, that might be more familiar to older experienced users but not newer ones, or might require native users who gravitate it as their first choice for various reasons.

Finally, there are limitations with decentralized tech; I suspect that any eventual equilibrium will always be in flux and will include some centralized, decentralized, and federated technology in various proportions depending on societal circumstances.

Everything can be cast in terms of economic incentives perhaps?
This is absolutely not so. Just because one flies high one day does not mean if you fly low the next day that it is negative at all. Because hey - you are FLYING! There are different joys in all levels of flight (or to leave the analogy, of life). Additionally IF one does have an exceptionally negative day, it can be used to even more appreciate the exceptionally happy days. And another way to understand this is that the happy times, if truly pure and happy, never lose the positive buoyancy they shed on the rest of your days; so in that way those days have raised your overall abundance of life.
True, my phone is more accurate than my watch. It lives in my pocket, though, so my watch is more convenient for finding out the time.
>as if the complexity of difficulty of an art piece its what makes it valuable

But it is true. Of course it is not the whole story, but complexity and difficulty influence how humans interpret and value things.

Training a new model for each category is already possible today, but doesn't achieve the goal (mass-specialization).

The problem is that when you pre-train a model, you can only solve for the lowest common denominator of what every customer might want.

In ecommerce, for example, you might pre-train to get price, product name, reviews, and a few other things that are general to all ecommerce. But you won't pre-train it to get the mAh rating of batteries, because that's not common to the vast majority of customers (even within ecommerce). It turns out that most customers need at least a few of these long-tail properties that are different than what almost every other customer wants, even if most of the properties they need are common.

And so the challenge is to dynamically train a model that generalizes to all "battery sites" based on the (very limited) input from a customer making a few clicks on a single "battery site".
You are responding to a different argument than I made. Your claim is that neonicotinoids are harmful to colony-forming bees. My argument is that the harm does not appear to be reflected in the pollination industry, which, in the US, is the essential purpose of those bees. Honey bees are livestock, not wildlife.
My thoughts are that mypy helped me and my team catch real bugs so I'm sold :)

Would a Canadian have more of an ability to influence a Canadian corporation? I guess I am just confused why it being a US corporation changes the equation verse a corporation from anywhere else.
With China you know who is in charge. With Hackernews it is a bit more opaque.
I really wish HN wouldn't do this except for materially incorrect titles. I find myself trying to figure out if a link/discussion is the same one I've already read after the title has been editorialized.

Complaints after Amazon sends food that's expired or past its best-before date
The entirety of human history is one of conflict. Do you believe this is now at an end? Do you believe there are any prospective military threats to the US in the next 30 years? And if so, from where?
Get an ASN, get some IP space, and the issue is no longer a problem.
TikTok, like Twitter, doesn’t allow political ads.

Besides, Hollywood movies should have enough propaganda in them already.
Oh, that is a fair point. If they'd have bought Nokia before they both became turkeys it might have ended differently. But at that point, Nokia probably wasn't for sale and the "two turkeys" analogy wouldn't have applied either, tbh.

I do make that assumption because your average staff member that would manage something like that, would do the easy path of default settings (which are probably public).
The Swedish name is “dator”, isn’t it? Its root is certainly “data”, but I like it better than the more cumbersome Norwegian word “datamaskin”.
I think they do. They're the same thing they've always been: an advertising company. They can only become something else when the majority of their income is derived from something else. Which it currently isn't.
That's assuming an awful lot of unncessary bad faith. While the title guidelines are enforced here in an incredibly nonintuitive, nonobjective, nonconsistent way, that's no reason to imply malfeasance.
is this not how it should work, at least in europe according to the new data laws.

recently nello.io was sold and this is the email i got.

we have good news, which we would like to share with you immediately! The journey of nello continues - we will join forces with the team of SCLAK. The new owner SCLAK will be the Italian supplier of smart home products. This fits perfectly to nello.

In order for you to be able to use your nello one in the future, there will be an update of the app shortly.

Since your data is particularly important to us, you will be asked to give your consent to the transfer of your customer data to SCLAK in the course of this update. The continued usability of your nello one can only be guaranteed with your consent. Without the data transfer, the functionality of your app will expire, which we would very much regret.

> "Mercurial (hg commit) or SVN (svn commit), or hell, even CVS (cvs commit)."

Why would I [re]learn those tools if I already know git?

If I'm going to move to a new VCS, it's going to be one that actually gives me something I didn't have before, like Fossil. Not some other VCS that captures the same concepts with a slightly different cli UX (which hardly even impacts me at all, since I rarely interact with such systems on the command line rather than through porcelain provided by an editor extension.)
Ask HN: Should I get out of gov as engineer?
Due to a certain turn of events, I ended up as a software engineer at a government institute at a relatively young (<25) age and sticked there. Not developing Java EE applets but very enterprisey (MQ, non-REST SOAPy stuff) Spring-based Java law-to-software-systems nonetheless for a few (~5) years now. The work is pretty challenging yet non-demanding (9 to 5 and you are expected to have left by then). The salary is obviously not top of market but competitive (Europe) and has a steady growth curve but you know what you are making 10 years from now unless you actively pursue promotions to a different function profile (middle/upper management, PO, architect role etc). Making sure you have more days off than you will normally spend seems to be govt's top priority and peers are often cheeky jealous about how I seem to have an infinite amount of vacation hours.

The biggest problem I have is thinking "is this it?". I like my job and my colleagues but working in govt I feel no commercial pressure whatsoever. Of course, we have deadlines but we are delivering the software regardless and our "clients" have no choice. We will never compete or have to fear that work is drying up, only that we have to do it with less people and we don't go too far over budget (and if it runs out, other work under a different budget code gets higher priority). As a result of this, innovation isn't really a thing. Optimization, really making things better, is not a concern or objective even though on a daily basis my hands itch to "fix" stuff. The law abiding citizens won't ever complain about inefficiencies in processes, why his data model is too complex for what it is doing or why some forms aren't 1 step instead of 5 of which we could already fill in 4.
