Not to suggest they aren't also struggling, but mostly-national outlets with a strong or exclusive web presence aren't the epicenter of the crisis in journalism--they're the outlets weathering the storm.

Newspapers, particularly local and regional ones, are the epicenter of the crisis--and they are being hollowed out. This AP article (https://apnews.com/a0409119ab71400b944662fc770593a0) is a good place to catch up.

(Anecdata, but FWIW: GateHouse, mentioned in this article, acquired my hometown paper in the past year. My mom has variously worked residential and single-copy delivery for this paper for decades. My stepdad worked delivery, managed a delivery district, and was an early employee in the paper's online operations. Subjective, but their stories, firsthand and from friends, make it hard not to see it as an extractive vulture operation.)
Types of LSTM Recurrent Neural Networks and What to Do with Them
The stock configurations are exactly the same price as the 15" used to be, but now with double the storage. So it's actually better value now than it was.
The problem is your incentives breed more bureaucracy and its exactly that bureaucracy that leads to higher costs and a system where nobody knows the price of a procedure. Laws get passed with good intentions, but with bad overall outcomes on the system as you pile on more and more mandates. You have to back off from these requirements and let the market work. Imagine if anyone could get a MRI or a CAT scan or a blood draw anytime just by walking into a small private clinic in a strip mall. No requirements to go through a primary or a specialist, a registered nurse can and should be able to do this with minimal licensing. No insurance company forced to be involved. No over regulation mandating that "thou must do the following". Imagine next if health insurance was like car insurance, with companies blaring ads about how much you could save if you switched to them. No mandates that it must be employer provided. No hospitals being forced by law to fit the bill for the uninsured, thus driving up the cost for the insured.

My point is you need to back off the list of mandated incentives and let the market do its thing. Then, once it appears that things are stable and there is healthy price competition, you can maybe pass a few laws to take care of the edge cases and bad actors.

Yes, Docker naming has often been confusing. No argument there.
Yes, it is explicitly statistical bias, and it comes from extrapolating a system of equations from single point observable outcomes, a situation Economics tends to solve with instrumental variables.

If I can, let me explain using basic quantity supplied and demanded.

Consider the supply equation: Q_s = a + bP + cX, and the demand equation, Q_d = e - fP + gZ. Data only observes where Q_s = Q_d given P, X, and Z.

So what most ML models attempt to do is predict Q as a single fit function of P, X, and Z -- not entirely unreasonable, but misses the structure of the full system. So two things to consider:

(1) Implementing a rule policy based on "measuring as it actually is" may result in a feedback cycle (personally I think there may be one in common real estate property valuation "AVM" models). By recruiters relying on a biased model the class imbalance may actually increase over doing nothing.

(2) Normative ideals, like being blind to anything but skill and opportunity or equalizing background (two common political ideals in the US) cannot be appropriately evaluated. This is Judea Pearl's claim of Pr(Y|X) versus Pr(Y|do(X)).
Aside from the cryptorouting concept and some convenience functions in wg-quick, Wireguard doesn't really have strong opinions on routing. It's perfectly legitimate to setup an interface with a single peer and global (0.0.0.0/0, ::/0) routes then use BGP to announce networks across it and manage the kernel route tables.
> If you feel like you're doing something because someone "deserves" it, you're doing it wrong;

I was giving a description of how "intolerance of intolerance" works out in practice.

It doesn't matter if you think these people are doing it wrong.

I do not believe that humans can be trusted to be given such an easy to abuse loophole, that gives them carte-blanche moral authority to act terrible to other human beings (because the the target of the abuse is "intolerant", and therefore deserve it).

It is safer to just say "no. You should not treat people poorly, even if you believe that they are intolerant, or deserve it because of some other quality".

I’m glad they finally came around. I used to ask lots of questions. e.g.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170528/writing-hello-wo...

Unfortunately, the moderators and I had a disagreement about the importance of asking questions without attempting to first solve the problem.

Well written (and well-defined) questions are the key StackOverflow. From the questions, you could extract a Rosetta Stone of programming. An experienced programmer could learn most languages on the job.
Yes. They are properties of your comment, not somebody else's.
If I could choose to pay for just the content I want, it wouldn't be $200/month, because I'd carefully pick and choose what I care enough about to pay for. I spend most of my online time on a very small number of sites and same few youtube channels, many of whom I already pay on patreon, if I had to pay a little more to cover streaming/video hosting, that cuts google out of the financial picture, I would totally do that. I do not like google, but I do like the handful of content creators that I follow. Any other time I spend online is idle time that I could do without and if forced to pay for it, it would actually help me break a habit I don't particularly want in the first place.
What if the question isn't one of capability, but a question of self selection and preference?

Does those things even play a role? If yes, how does that play a role? How large of a role? If it does play a role, why? What's important to women in career choice vs what's important to men? Why is that the case? Is it nature or nurture or both (and to what degree of each influence those choices)? Is it upbringing? Is it pressure from society? Is it barrier's to entry? And to what degree does all that play a role?

I see the potential for a much more nuanced conversation with this topic.

Saying women aren't capable of being a programmer or being successful in STEM is in my mind a garbage assertion.
Everyone should read their annual diversity report. Publishing their data is commendable, though they don't break it down far enough to be able to fully determine the intersectional proportions.

As an example of what is in there, for their tech workforce, whites have declined from 57.8% to 43.5% in four years. (see page 33) You can decide for yourself whether this suggests racial bias in hiring.

Then maybe we'll get less blogspam and have a higher signal-to-noise ratio of sites run by people who are passionate about things and know what they're doing, instead of crap trying just get clicks to get paid.

The First Amendment does not have the same restrictions as the Second Amendment.

To the extent that your speech does not also constitute illegal action, there are no restrictions on speech and those protections do not depend on nationality, citizenship, etc. All that matters is the jurisdiction of the US court system (since they can't enforce First Amendment rights if they don't have jurisdiction).

Some types of speech are also acts, like conspiring to commit a crime, or inciting violent action. In those cases, the content of the speech is protected, but the actions of the speech are subject to prosecution.
Something makes me feel that today a lot of hard working employees lost all their stock options, or their hard earned cash if they previously exercised them... Mirantis can't possibly have paid multiple billions for that, which means all common stockholders were likely wiped out as part of this "fire sale" (pure speculation on my side).

I ran into this issue with 2015 MBP. I incorrectly assumed SSD where still removable and connectable to a USB adapter. When my display started failing I took it to Apple. They advised that data loss is possible. I had an old backup and figured I could just use the SSD via USB for more recent stuff.

Sure enough all data is lost. I ask them why they removed such a feature. They said they replaced it will a special port on logic board for accessing the SSD the same way. They tried that though and it failed. LOL at the nonsensical design decisions.

If Apple does a removable SSD again, it would go a long way to restoring faith in them.
Stopped at all costs means "do not engage in certain behavior, yourself, even if you think you have a good reason for it".

Even if you think the other person deserves it, because of whatever excuse that you can think of, you still shouldn't act horribly, no matter the nice sounding justification that you can trick yourself into believing.

Humans are really good at tricking themselves into believing that their horrible behavior is justified.

In this specific situation, calling someone else intolerant is just an excuse that people will use to justify their horrible behavior to others.
This is a pretty good point. Tolerance-as-peace-treaty doesn't apply nearly as reasonably between groups as it does within a group; although that makes sense. Do not abide by the peace treaty, conflict arises; and then it's about how you resolve conflicts between groups.
First off, Awesome story.

I have a friend who had something similar happen, he got a frantic call from his grandmother who learned via a scam call that he was in jail across the country and needed bail money. This was a few years ago, so they couldn't have used a duplicate of his voice, but possible they were relying on imperfect memory.

Sweeping generalization, but elderly are and would likely prime targets of this kind of scam in the future since they likely have funds and are less likely to be educated in the state of the art for this kind of tech, not to mention a protective instinct.
Part of the difficulty in that question is that if everyone makes $100K, the purchasing power of $100K will drift pretty rapidly.

For what it's worth, I'm of the opinion that the long tail of high-paying jobs (which I count myself in, to be clear) is having a negative effect on the cost of living by making it easy for us to drive up the prices of limited resources like housing near an urban core, restaurant reservations near an urban core, etc. If you curtail that somehow (my preferred approach is heavy taxation, but you could also regulate salaries or perhaps encourage the free market to charge people disproportionately more if they make more money), I suspect the problem will fix itself, and <<$100K salaries will start to go farther.

Then you don't need to solve the problem of where we get more funding for journalism / taxi driving / whatever from.

G Suite is now clearly oriented to companies, and the differences in tools compared to free accounts make sense in that context. Google cannot deploy to corporate customers tools that are not properly tested yet, and that they cannot guarantee will be supported for a long time.

They use free users as beta testers and to see if ideas stick. They can't deploy those to actual customers.

> If the history of Microsoft and Windows security is any indication, it'll take Intel many many years to turn that ship around.

AMD's Bulldozer debacle may be a better example, because in some ways it's a better example than Windows.

By that, I mean two things.

1) Silicon typically has a pretty long up-front design phase. Meaning there's probably at least 2 upcoming generations in development at any given time.

2) Intel's marketing is somewhat coy about 'architecture' changes, but the sources I found (admittedly just an SO post and Wikipedia) indicate that the number of pipeline stages in the Core series has not changed much over the last few years. IOW it's probably not a full architecture revamp in their 3-step cycle.

P6 as an Arch lasted around 15 years, when you think about it (including the original 'Core' i.e. Core 2 Duo/Solo here, as while heavily optimized and revamped, it was still P6). K7/K8 lasted about the same longer (15-ish). Netburst was a bit of an outlier, only lasting around 7 years. Same for Bulldozer.

Big assumption here, but based on the pattern I'd assume that Intel originally wasn't even considering a full revamp (or, depending on how they do their iterations, it wouldn't be fully revamped) to be ready until around 2023.

Because of the time involved (back to the first point,) I doubt they would be able to have the problem mitigated in silicon until 2021 at the earliest. (As a bonus, they'd probably want/have to qualify it extra well, lest they accidentally introduce a whole new class of vulnerabilities.)
I’m still struggling to find out what exactly is required for mobile apps in particular. Our legal team (very big company) told us we have to add a link to our Privacy Policy on every screen of our app, so hundreds. Where can I find things like requirements on those, or is it just really vague?

Sure, but besides a very low number of comments on HN I've never seen anyone who really appreciated the TouchBar (and the increased price it causes). Say Apple would offer a model with and without TouchBar and the TouchBar model would cost $400 more, how many people would be willing to pay that? I bet it would be less than 5%, maybe even less than 1%.
Can you describe the architecture that would make this possible?
And, how does the neutral 3rd party determine the difference?
What you said makes sense, but only to limited set of people.

Not all people are interested/capable of learning how it works underneath. There're like, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of React developers in the world, very few of them understand how React really works underneath.

This is actually one of the goals that React was invented and popularized inside Facebook. It's just sooo easy to pick up and start building.

That being said, for our product, it's not only about React and its basics. We can totally create a workout project for React internals. That depends on what you guys need :) We started with these two projects because it seems a common useful and popular thing, and we're able to do them ourselves.
> Docker really doesn't help with application packaging

It does. You can do crazy shit like this with Docker containers:

thinking about the time we created docker at work in 2009:
nobody could remake our centos4 build machine for our C++ code
so we shut it down, imaged the file system into a .tar.gz, and
made our makefiles transparently extract it & build via chroot.
so absolutely fucking cursed -- @stdlib

https://twitter.com/stdlib/status/1192461409549987841

It's essentially still exactly what docker allows you to do:

tar-up your whole f'ing disk, and run it in a chroot somewhere else.

Try doing something like this with yum. Good luck.

Of course it's horrible. But now, you can get away with it.

> I think anyone who works a 9-5 job should be able to take care of a parter and raise a couple kids, not have to worry about healthcare or being able to afford basic housing and the necessities of a modern life, and be able to save for retirement.

I'd definitely agree with this.

And I'd also partly wonder whether this could be used to sell companies/the well off on better housing/land use/rent control policies too, since in many places, the only reason the expectations have gotten so high is because the system is simply broken/completely unaffordable.

For someone to get the kind of lifestyle mentioned in central London or near Silicon Valley, you'd need at least a couple of hundred grand a year. Maybe this would change if people realised that the more they fight affordable housing, the more it'll hit them/their companies financially having to pay out for their workers to live in such broken systems.

Isn't it possible they are not using AWS? There are plenty of game hosting services that own their own hardware.

Even if they are using AWS (which personally seems like a poor decision for this kind of use case), I don't think your pricing comparison is fair. On demand pricing is the most expensive way to rent AWS servers. Reserved instances, dedicated hosts, and savings plans can cut the cost you quoted by ~70%. By your calculations that's 100 players for ~$33/month.
