>Surprisingly, several mathematical models of free-market economies display features of complex macroscopic physical systems such as ferromagnets, including phase transitions, symmetry breaking and duality.

I'm always super skeptical of claims like this (disclaimer: haven't actually read the paper), because they seem to make clearly overextended analogies between dissimilar fields. If you're used to studying "phase transitions, symmetry breaking, and duality" in ferromagnetics, then when you look at economics you're likely to see similar patterns - but at face value, we're comparing replicable features of (relatively) simple physical systems to non-replicable macroeconomic behavior. If we could rewind time and run a bunch of population level counterfactual scenarios, then it might be worth taking seriously, but I have yet to see a convincing case for making conclusions about population level systems based on unrelated physical models.

CAVEAT: this isn't to say that models aren't useful. Neither am I claiming that we can't take some insights from other fields. I just think we tend to sometimes forget that the map is not the territory. For example, I could certainly imagine populations undergoing changes between states which we could roughly analogize to be "phase transitions", but I wouldn't therefore conclude that those states were, in fact, fundamental - I'd expect similar dynamics to play out differently depending on context.

How to Partition a Hard Drive Without Losing Data (Windows 7)
The rules need to create a reliable financial incentive, or they will be routinely ignored.

The easiest way to accomplish this would be to utilize existing AIS signals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_identification_syste...). But doing so could create an incentive for captains to switch off their transponders, which would lead to safety issues.

I'm not sure what to take away from this. If you already enumerated all possible board positions (modulo flips/rotations) and had a long look at each one to determine unique moves (i.e. which moves result in distinct board states), you might as well assign drawn/losing/winning to each position. It's conceptually different but not really more work...

This is an excellent article. However, note that if you're using tr from GNU Coreutils, you have to use the 'A-Za-z' syntax for character ranges instead of '[A-Z][a-z]', since GNU tr doesn't use the SysV syntax [1]:

GNU `tr' does not support the System V syntax that uses square
brackets to enclose ranges. Translations specified in that format
sometimes work as expected, since the brackets are often
transliterated to themselves. However, they should be avoided
because they sometimes behave unexpectedly. For example, `tr -d
'[0-9]'' deletes brackets as well as digits.

Panama at least has close ties to the US. If they want to enforce laws they can call the US and get a large fleet to help. Panama also has the canal which is important to global shipping: if they want to they can refuse ships passage if they don't comply with whatever rules they want.

Of course the IF above is big. I don't know how to get Panama to care.
It's pretty much impossible to determine from the outside whether the algorithm discriminates against woman (without a reasonably large and actually random sample of customers). But that is also part of the complaint, as the algorithm is a black box that even the customer support employees can't look into. Humans just blindly following a black box algorithm without the option to manually handle cases where the algorithm produces weird results has quite a dystopian feel to me. Especially if it's used for more consequential cases than credit card limits.
but feel I must speak in favour of the Facebook groups function, which, yes, even though it exists on Facebook, seems to have allowed all kinds of weird communities to spring up in a way they might not have otherwise.

But they probably would have. If not on newsgroups or mailing lists or webrings or forums, then on a hypothetical, less malicious social media platform. Somewhere where the data could be preserved, sorted, filtered, and indexed by search engines.

That there is interesting information on Facebook is an argument against it, not for it, because Facebook is a prison for data and all its prisoners will eventually be executed when the warden deems them no longer worthy of life.
Excellent recap.

Re: displaying brand logos in the editor and retrieving these online and mainly from Facebook. There are a lot of reasons why this is problematic, not the least that it violates EU privacy regulation without prior consent of the users

I'd like to understand what the issue is here. I'm assuming it isn't just a matter of grabbing a logo (jpg) from Facebook. I assume iD is sending (meta) data about the person who is simply browsing the map to Facebook (i.e. without disclosing that info is being sent or what data is sent)?

I think it depends on how "the Service" is defined. As "Service" is capitalized, it is likely defined in the TOS, and may only apply to Youtube (not Google as a whole). So I believe you (and the redditor) are reading that passage incorrectly.

Personally, when I'm checking a translation, I like to use WWWJDIC's text glossing mode: https://www.edrdg.org/cgi-bin/wwwjdic/wwwjdic?9T

The thing with my Japanese skills is that my grammar is excellent, but my vocabulary is limited, so a gloss of the kanji in a sentence is _massively_ useful to me (and kanji is a double-edged sword: I recognize far more words in hiragana (or when spoken) than in kanji, but kanji is pretty much necessary for a dictionary to have any decent idea of what the word is).

I'll have to give Jisho a try though.
People made a lot of fun of me for wearing Google Glass several years for a solid month straight. Like, every day, to work and back. It was in fact clunky and rough around the edges, but even at that stage I experienced moments of the kind of glee I felt when I first used an iPhone. AI and Machine Learning will need to do a lot more heavy lifting in an AR glasses world, but the experience will just blow our phones out of the water. And it'll be amazing.
Yes you could which is why you have contractors. However, it turns out that with "creative" work it's a lot harder to implement that payment model without having an incentives problem.
Is it a false equivalence though? Both show an utter disregard for human life, unde the guise of "guy in charge says get the job done, and is indifferent to whether someone innocent gets killed".
I'm sure MBS would have been happy if Jamaal Khashoggi would have survive but stopped criticizing the Saudi govt or whatever. But if the business and the people in it happen to kill someone, that's OK too.

From Uber CEO's perspective, this is about the amoral organization optimizing for profit, not about the specific people who did the torturing. Would it be mere negligence if the tortures were AI drones instead of people?

>Deportation is significantly more disruptive to life than having your car impounded.

Illegally being in the country and drawing on its resources is also significantly more disruptive to the life of the society than illegally parking a car so it is only natural.

>It's also a lifetime punishment, since it nearly always bars you from further re-entry.

It is not a punishment - nobody but citizens have a right to be in the country so no rights have been denied. Most people in the world are already being "punished" this way since they have no chance to get any visa to the US.

>Deporting people to certain countries can get them killed.

Deportation per se? How? Does it mean that if a car is impounded, and I get to the bad part of town where the impound lot usually is, and some undocumented immigrants or other oppressed minorities who live around those kinds of place rob/kill me then a car getting impounded can also can get me killed?

AMD's Navi is looking to be competing quite well with NVIDIA in the mid-range/enthusiast space, and shortly in the mid-to-low-end segment with the imminent RX5500.

I suspect it won't be long until the empire strikes back in this case though: NVIDIA also uses TSMC for fabbing its GPUs, so they too will soon be shipping 7nm GPUs, with all the intrinsic advantages of that node. Of course, pricing of those new products will hopefully be strongly influenced by AMD's resurgence. (And, supposedly, Intels re-entry into the GPU market, but I remain skeptical this will make much of a dent for a few years yet.)
>The point is the algorithm has a sexist bias, as multiple anecdotes show.

By definition anecdotes prove nothing. Until there is statistically significant evidence of sexism this is just hearsay and your post gets close to slander.

In this case it will be absolutely trivial to check. Just feed in the same data for the same person only with the gender flipped.
I find that very worryingly vague. In my reading though, that only applies to YouTube itself ("the Service"). It seems to be saying that your Google account can lose access to YouTube, not that you can lose access to your Google account.

> It's like you believe animals are like humans, they're not, stop anthromorphising them

You could instead stop with the childish mischaracterisation of my views, of which you know little. I do not believe they are humans. I do, however, know via increasing amounts of evidence that they suffer and can experience complex emotional and social lives, and that our treatment of them is largely an unnecessary cause of their suffering.

> It also makes we wonder if you've ever lived in the country and met wild animals.

I worked in a butcher shop, I've been to working farms, I've been to cattle auctions. I wonder if you've only ever got your meat vacuumed packed in plastic and tell people you "love" bacon - but I wouldn't use that as an argument because it would be irrelevant and crass, especially on a forum like this that's supposed to represent discussion based on a higher level of reasoning amongst respectful peers.

> most animals living in the wild is a terrifying existence where they can get killed every day and struggle to find food. Putting aside battery farming, they have a life of luxury compared to their wild cousins.

You're using the same arguments people used to justify keeping slaves. They weren't any good then so I'm not sure why they'd be any better now.

Patterns for Writing Simple Code
In automotive, there's a rich third-party ecosystem of replacement parts manufacturers.

Even the original vehicle manufacturer might purchase the parts from several of them.

You, as an typical end-user, have practically no chance to find out, whether the replacement part is "original" or not.
There is also the issue that they may not know that the thing isn't "taught" yet because they don't know its a "thing".

I once got points taken off for using a recursive function as part of my solution. I didn't know the language before, nor did I have much experience with recursive functions as a formal concept.

I didn't even know at that time that recursive functions were a special thing that had to be taught to me.
In my own small sample size of my family and wife's family, that is 8 households, only one has an amazon echo type of device.

Recently I visited the house of the one who does have it for four days. They used it to (a) set timers and (b) ask it odd questions for humor's sake to show it off to me. After an alarm sounded, 25% of the time they would have to request it to stop multiple times. I was unimpressed.
> I would have guessed the database optimizes this away

And one thing about this type of "beneath the covers" optimization is that, over time, the tool ends up doing it for you and applying these sorts of optimizations can end up hurting more than helping - so by all means learn it, but keep an eye on it as versions progress and make sure you're not fighting the optimizer.

A lot of land can’t be used for farming crops. But you can shove animals on much wider variety of land scapes. Meaning you don’t need to deforest on the same scale. Coupled with not needing to do crop rotation. Etc etc. Results in less land required.

I have Alexa via the Fire TV stick. I like it because you have to physically push a button to activate the microphone. It's nice to search for a movie without having to deal with the onscreen keyboard, but that's about it.

The article is very vague about what exactly Amazon is going to do. It doesn't sound like it would be anything more than Google Assistant is already doing by reading your email and automatically adding flights and hotel reservations to your calendar. I've even had Google automatically suggest a gas station on the way to return a rental car based on the reservation info, which was a little creepy, but I have to admit, convenient.
You have to be careful not to conflate two things. It is immediately obvious that Alexa "is always listening" -- after all, how could it know you are about to utter the wake word? So, in a sense, the device is listening to you at all times.

That, however, is separate from a concern that the device is streaming your data back at all times. The implementation could easily locally listen for the wake word, record your utterance, and only stream/process that part of it. It can, in a sense, listen at all times but only tell Amazon what you actually want it to tell Amazon. Which, AFAIK, is how the device works. That doesn't, of course, mean that it works flawlessly or that things are captured which you don't intend it to capture, which is a fact that has also been covered extensively by the media reporting on Alexa.
My immediate social circles do. It is definitely more common than I thought it would be ( I hoped the trend would go away the way 3d tv did ).

Single-core CPU performance is at a peak. There aren't any revolutionary increases expected there anytime soon.

To be fair, Ice Lake/Sunny Cove seems to introduce a significant IPC improvement. It's currently stuck in low-power dual core CPUs due to Intel's 10nm yield woes. (allegedly quad cores have launched too, but I haven't seen any reviews of devices based on those?) But presumably it will eventually percolate up the product stack and give desktop processors a solid boost too.

So that particular fight doesn't look anywhere near over just yet. (Zen+ to Zen2 was also a decent IPC bump, so no reason to believe AMD have hit a wall in that regard either - I'm sure they're scrambling to make another leap in Zen3/4 that compares favourably with the Skylake->Sunny Cove one to preempt Intel retaking the crown.)
My point is that data has to be maintained in whatever forms you are keeping it in. Often with different requirements on why it is there.

Yes, this is a large part of why we use databases. They will do most of this heavy lifting. However, I don't think it changes the game. If you want some access to be easy or quick, you have to maintain the data in that format.

My thesis on this is that people do what they can get away with. If you think you can get away with really low quality stuff, you do that.
