>Noise should be opt in; not opt out.

That's a great way of putting it.

One of my pet peeves is along a similar line. I have a quiet voice. When I was younger, I had a quieter voice. The change happened because people were happy to ask me to repeat myself or, in a more blunt way, that I need to speak up. That's fine, it's my problem, it's me failing to communicate properly, and I've learned to be loud enough most of the time because of it.

But it doesn't happen the other way. It's not 'OK' to tell someone they talk too loudly. You can try, and they may temporarily adjust (while, actually, thinking it's your problem) but they won't change their voice for good, like I had to.

If it's a failure of communication for me to be heard by the person stood next to me, it should also be a failure for a person talking to someone at the same distance if I can hear them on the other side of a busy office or a train carriage. And if someone has a bassy vocal fry that penetrates walls, they should raise their pitch. I don't want to have to opt out of their conversation and, if I do, I have to be confrontational.
Wonder what Valve is doubling down with this title?

It seems like the previous games were all ground-breaking narratives, but with most of the storytellers having left in the last few years, I'd be curious to see what makes this different than your standard VR games

They do a lot! But it's not part of where the money comes from.

Imagine a normal grocery store. Then imagine it suddenly gets a button that makes more stock magically appear on the loading docks. Almost as much as they've sold since the last button press. It's great for profit margins, but the employees still have to do their jobs, and their jobs are basically unrelated to the magic button.
I think the biggest tragedy is that most American consumers have no idea how bad American banks are compared to banks in other countries.

Moving to the US is like stepping back into the 70's, and then discovering that everyone around you think that everything is fine, their banks are fine, that US banks are somehow modern and cool.

Anecdote: I wired some money from my Chase bank account to my Swedish bank account, in USD. I made the transfer through the internet bank, but since it was "after hours" New York time, it was scheduled to transfer the next morning.

Early next morning I checked my Swedish bank account, they had received the money, exchanged it to SEK at a decent rate, and the money was immediately available for me to spend there.

A couple of hours later I receive an email from Chase, where they're telling me that they've now sent the money, and that I should expect to see the money in my Swedish bank account about three days later.

American banks suck.

Uber’s Chief Product Officer Stepping Down

I think that fails Occam's razor. What if the reason there are more people "doing it wrong" (for various values of "it") is simply because there are more people doing it, period? There are a lot more programmers (and people shaving, opening cans, and writing letters) than there were in the past. As a result, the experience of doing those things changes both because of eternal September syndrome as well as the economies of scale (cheap, low quality crap) that emerged in response to that growth in userbase.
I spent my evenings and weekends over the past several months building a construction management product for small home builders / general contractors.

It's a bit of a niche market, but a friend of mine owns a small contracting company and as I got to learn about his challenges, I realized there wasn't anything purpose-built for companies just like his.

I know this is a bit of random product, but I thought it'd be fun to get feedback anyway or share it in case the problem set resonates with anybody :)

For some years I have tracked my AF using a Polar chest band, which dumps heart rate records into my phone via bluetooth. Then I ship it to a server in influxdb and render it with grafana.

It's all very non-medically approved but I have found it super useful to see the benefits of exercise (in my case anyway) in managing and somewhat taming my out of rhythm periods. I can get an idea how hard to push my heart before it goes out.

This blog gets passed around a lot recently. While I do draw value from the thorough observations of developments, the amount of text the author spends on shallow negativity can feel like the same waste of time as the overhyping PR machine he is reacting to.

There is without doubt something novel in the successes of convnets for sensory perception, deep Q-learning for decades-old and new game problems, artificial curiosity, recent machine translation, generative models and their various applications. Recent models also found their way into for-profit companies. It’s legit to be fascinated by this, and I’d rather stand on the side that doesn’t remain in their cave.

AI research may have picked all current low-hanging fruits or hit a wall either soon or in ten years, nobody can know yet, so there is no reason to run around predicting the future painted in only positive or negative light.
Agreed - I used the 2017 model for a couple years and no complaints about the feel, just the non-working keys. But I didn’t realize that my typing had gotten slower and less precise.

Well, your story has persuaded me to buy this lantern.
> Once you learn how to exit vim you only need to look it up a few more times before you begin to get it

And in nano it's displayed right there at the bottom of the screen at all times whereas with vi/vim/neovim you have nothing to go by unless you're lucky enough that you happened to open it up on an empty buffer in which case the "splash" screen will tell you to consult with :help or quit with :q. StackOverflow is a testament to how slim your chances of randomly guessing that is.

I would agree with that if the comment I was replying to actually put up some good-faith arguments rather than just making unsupported statements about Unix/Linux and vi(m), or if we were arguing something wildly subjective here but the argument I was making was that nano is easier for newcomers than vim, and there's plenty of empirical data in the form of questions in forums and the like to back that up.

Indeed I've stayed away from -j because it's very hard to figure out how recipes may interact when you have a complex Makefile (and with a simple one -j rarely helps much).

I live next to a bank who paid an $8.9 billion fine for money laundering. Another bank, Italy’s largest, laundered money for 10-years for Iran, Cuba and Libya in the United States. They paid a $1.3 billion fine, pled to conspiracy and received deferred prosecution.

One of the executives in that bank is the older brother to a star witness in the Presidential impeachment inquiry. Yet no one really cares about crimes committed by corporations.
I'd like to reiterate that the Podman and Buildah projects were started in order to address business needs for specific risk averse customers. The upstream work we had started with Docker still could not meet those requirements and so investment was started in alternative OCI based approaches that were essentially daemonless and were taking advantage of other enhancements in namespaces and CGroups.
I Built This Website Using Racket. Here's What I Can Do Now
Stating the obvious: marketing tries to redefine language to influence customers. You can either shrug it off or actively fight it.

Like: If you go along with calling sandwiches "subs" you might associate this particular food with Subway and may consider competing food products less.

Off the tangent: Companies pay to rename sports arenas. They're not paying you, so you could just say "we're going to $teamname stadium" instead of $companyname stadium".
Personal and certified checks aren’t immediate or same day settlement, only wires or Zelle transfers are (Zelle transfers can take more than a day depending on the sending and receiving bank).

If the settlement isn’t rapid, you can’t guarantee the funds will actually settle (checks). Lots of situations where someone wants the same guarantee as cash or a wire.
I'm not sure that'd even be effective. It seems like you'd have a pretty strong case for fair use defense in the US as the use could be commentary/criticism or even as "education".

There are no guarantees when it comes to fair use protections, but it'd certainly be hard to say that the photographer is losing money because people interested in his work are flocking to view protest signs or anti-abortion pamphlets.

Of course they could try to pressure SWIFT, but there’s no guarantee that would work.
You are still wrong, dispite your disclaimers. Haskell has a tiny core language, which neatly breaks apart complexity. Most mainstream languages don't, which makes them far harder to thoroughly understand. there's no way easy to know what complexity is essential, and what can be reduced away. Abstractions are rather informal, and likely to leak.
Similar experience: I usually don't mind the noises, even when the mental stack is close to maximum capacity, but only while I'm on a good trajectory towards finding a solution. When the trajectory degrades into running in circles, suddenly everything louder than breathing becomes infuriating.

I'd describe it slightly different than lack of control, even if it's essentially the same: the noise is something to blame for the lack of progress so the helpless mind will blame it a lot. It's also an outlet for that tiny amount of anger about the failure, anger that would otherwise just fuel more focus, and then that anger itself becomes the main distraction, creating a leveraged effect much bigger than the noise itself. Today I had to silence a broken door before I could eventually beat that bug, didn't even feel much different than introducing the appropriate instrumentations in the view...

(about headphones, I used to do that when noticing first signs of that running in circles noise sensitivity, but now I absolutely can't be bothered to sacrifice my hearing to make up for the deficiencies of the workplace provided by my employer)

> makes it possible for us to focus on doing business rather than narrowly tiptoeing an arbitrary and complex regulatory line

This can be solved by simply operating well within the legal line. If you’re operating so close to the border of what’s illegal that you’re “tiptoeing the line” then maybe that is the root problem.

I’ve been in several businesses and not once ever had to stop and ask myself “is what I’m doing technically legal?”

So curious how he banks there make money?
As someone that was building a platform that took advantage of MTurk (among other things) this varies wildly. The platform project I worked on was structured in such a way that, if you were able to receive sufficient tasks from it, you should hypothetically make ~$9 per hour (USD for clarification). There are a lot of assumptions even there, though:

1) The $9/hour figure is based on making ~$0.15 per minute. This means if a survey on the platform took 5 minutes it should pay out ~$0.75. But then there's the question of who sets that time, and it's ultimately the requester. If they aim too low (or, conversely, high) this skews the accuracy. And given they're the ones paying it's in their interest to assume low. We were fond of using calibration-like surveys that would inform roughly how long a survey took before launching more to reduce this bias.

2) Even if you got (1) right, the $9/h figure assumes you're able to do those back-to-back with zero delay. That's damn near impossible without smart tools. There's often a multi-second (if not multi-minute) delay between surveys and all of those add up. Although we did generate some surveys long enough to meet the $9/h figure (and Turkers did get paid for them accordingly) most of the time we saw many small surveys where the cost of latency adds up. Ultimately, I don't think this was a problem of our approach so much as it was just a reality for any HIT or similar "microtask".

3) Even if you could have a perfect (1) and (2), another reality is that there is a finite volume of tasks being requested. Assuming an average of 5 minute HITs we'd need to be producing 12 units of work for an individual Turker per hour. That's a lot of outgoing work and really depends on what you're looking to attain. As a platform we couldn't really force more work to come out of it, so there was a natural limit.

4) Lastly, even if you managed (1) (2) and (3), it assumes everyone was actually getting all of their work from us. Fact of the matter is that there are a lot of companies that pay differently. Perhaps more, perhaps less, perhaps keyed on other more meaningful metrics than $/hour. But that all changes the calculus.

5) Lastly, even if you somehow managed everything, there's still the effect of locale. The value of $9USD/h varies wildly depending on the context. For this reason, it wasn't uncommon to see many requests coming from regions in the world where the dollar is comparatively strong.

Ultimately, it's really hard to say how much you could make in an hour as a Turker just because of the inherently volatile nature of the work. In instances where you do make an outsized amount of money it's more likely that you were filling an urgent need at that time. If I were to guess, chances are you'd see more work closer to the middle/end of business accounting periods as that's when large-n research would likely answer important questions, with higher pay likely towards the end to fulfill any last-minute research gaps.
> we now have evidence on the record showing that he coordinated this leak with Roger Stone at the behest of the Trump campaign.... He has absolutely debased himself.

I dont understand this view. So the logic being presented is if a journalist (or other) is presenting information of public interest, but it comes from a source that has a political (or other) motivation behind it they should then bury the story?

I would understand this view if Assange also received information critical of the Trumps/Russia and refused to publicise it, but what was his alternative?

> he's not really a journalist

Then what is he? His format and method are different but essentially he is broadcasting news.
It was also pretty much the only economy left standing. I don’t think that can be overstated enough.

Electric cars are an energy-source-agnostic vehicle. Whether their energy comes from coal or nuclear or wind or solar, they are unaffected. Because of this you can gradually swap out pieces of the energy production backbone to renewables, and see a reflective immediate payoff in personal transportation CO2 emissions.

If the vehicle is tightly coupled to burning petrol, that can't happen. Electric cars are merely an exercise in uncoupling energy source and energy use.
Yes. Absolutely. It's distracting. Clicky switches, like blues and greens, should not be allowed in an open office.

I don't know why the assumption is that this hurt's Canada's ability to properly assess and tax - it's like a private whois registration, there is a registrar or stand in that can (and usually trivially accedes) to governmental requests as to original identity, it's just harder for individuals to track down.

The government knows who owns what[1].

1. At least in Canada, there are all sorts of fair accounting laws that require people handling assets to report it to the government in addition to the actual parties who own the assets to do that reporting. If your company is shifting money around in various Canadian bank accounts to launder domestically... the government knows... if you're only using international accounts then why are you even registered in Canada.

As someone who has posted an GPT-2 excerpt and accidentally had people confuse it for a human comment—I thought the context would make it obvious—calling a language model ‘pathetic’ for only occasionally getting math right hardly strikes me as a reasonable sort of complaint.

I generally am 'ok' with modern (US) banks and global, partly because I know their rules and set my expectations accordingly, but unlike what one of the sub-commenters said: "Chase" completely fucked up my world with no recompense for a while. No rhyme. No reason. Ultimately it was because I had connections to executives of the bank at the CEO level that I was able to get it sorted out, but until then, I was literally "without any money" for about 60 days. That, to put it mildly, if you don't have a reason or a recovery time-line (hard to tell your friends: trust me - I'll pay you in 15 days) if you literally don't know.

EDIT: It was /u/callmeed below. I can't say 'no' to his/her experience - but while I still work with Chase - I feel "on edge" all the time because I never know what they are going to do to me without notice.
Hmm... it seems to me that the service is exposed to more risk for higher transaction amounts (say, something is crooked, or just goes wrong and the service winds up holding the bag).

That's not to say that the current fees are necessarily fair, but it does make sense to me that larger transaction amounts should be charged more.
