Most tinnitus sufferers learn to ignore their noises to some degree. You're like me, where you have figured out how to turn it out. We're lucky sufferers, our noise is fairly constant. Some folks perceive more patterns in their noise, and that makes it much harder to ignore.

Go read the Iliad, the Odyssey, and even the Book of Exodus and tell me it wasn't comic-book movie fare for ancient Greeks and Hebrews.
Lots of people have been exposed to Watchmen - his book about masks (vigilantes, no more "super" powered than the hero of any Hollywood movie they won't die if shot but they can't fly), but he'd also by that point written Miracleman - which is about supers (whose identity may not even be a secret, since they are to varying extent god-like and it hardly matters). In both cases Moore covered all the ground popular culture still thinks is radical and interesting today and went beyond it - thirty years ago.

Miracleman in particular has a lot of stuff about abuse of power, the title character has been brain-washed basically by the government, so as to have a tame superhero who can be sent out to do whatever they want. Once he is free and understands what's going on he doesn't beat up muggers, or even corrupt politicians, he destroys _capitalism_ and remakes the whole world as a utopia. Moore was done with the book at that point.

And so here we are in 2019 and people haven't moved on to even where Moore was in the 1980s, that's got to be fairly frustrating.
Sure, in the same sense that every set is a disjoint union over singletons of all its values. But whether you would or could naturally specify it that way or not depends on the set. You likely wouldn't sit down and specify the type "Function from natural numbers to Boolean" as a big OR over each possible such function, for example.

But yes, whether something is a sum type or a product type or whatever is not generally so interesting as a predicate about the type in itself. It's a relationship between this type and other types. The same way it is not interesting to say "7 is a sum" (everything is a sum); what's interesting is to observe "7 is the sum of 3 and 4".

[Disclaimer: In the same way that some topological spaces are connected and cannot be decomposed into separate disconnected components, one might sometimes reason that some types are connected and not reasonably represented as a disjoint unions over subtypes. So "Everything is a sum" is not always correct in all contexts. But let's ignore this sort of pedantry for now.]

That's a pile of extremely poorly-supported claims strung together with only the occasional, vague gesture in the direction of facts.
the fact that google is trying to to use a fighting game to showcase their product should tell you everything you need to know about their understanding of the market.
I'm an Xoogler who worked on the privacy team a few years ago. All of this is true, and at the time I worked there, I made the conscious, considered decision to buy in to the Google data collection ecosystem because I trusted the people I worked with to protect my data.

Several years out, I no longer trust Google - not because I trust my former (immediate) coworkers less, but because the direction the entire advertising/data science industry is taking as a whole is deeply concerning to me. I disagree with almost all of it on principle, and am no longer comfortable supporting it by allowing unfettered collection of my personal data, regardless of who is doing the collecting or how much they promise not to sell my data.

(Companies were never "selling" data anyway - they were using it themselves, sharing it with their partners without an explicit sale, and otherwise doing things with it that I don't approve of which do not meet the strict definition of "sale".)
A Hard Case: Victor Serge's Notebooks
I'm not going to defend Alan Moore, weird wizard who worships a snake god as he is, but the Watchman movie isn't his baby. He's only put his name behind the graphic novel, which you might find much less cringy.
> the state prosecutor decides who to charge with a crime, regardless what purported victims think.

So state prosecutor can simply drop the charges if she feels like it?

in usa people have the right to jury trial. Seems really unfair that prosecutor can unilaterally simply drop your case, wonder why its that way.
Like the sibling comment mentions, there is a free Garmin Connect online service that lets you upload the data via bluetooth to your phone and then your phone transmits it to the Garmin server. From there the way I use it is to automatically send it to my Strava account (it's my only active social media account) and manually I download the raw data file from Garmin's Connect website to my PC so I can import it into Golden Cheetah for some analysis and personal backup. One could directly download the file from most devices to your laptop via wire or bluetooth, but that may not be as convenient as doing everything electronically. Also, I've actually worn out several USB connectors on fitness devices just from plugging/unplugging over the years so avoiding using physical ports for data transfers is a priority for me.
I tend to agree. Movies in general seem to be escapism[0]. Even incredibly depressing/artful movies like Requiem For A Dream, Joker (since it was brought up on this thread), Irréversible, The Truman Show, Martyrs, Saw, etc. are a form of escapism.

Now, each person may have their own preferences as to what type of escapism they want, but ultimately it's really just spending a few hours at a theatre or in front of a TV.

(We could argue about the intellectual merits of each of the films I've mentioned, but that's irrelevant as to whether they're escapism or not.)

Hot take: The problem isn't "shallow movies" or similar. It's that well-enough-off people are increasingly getting bored.

[0] Hell, I'd even extend that to most art.
Are you asserting that Osama bin Laden wasn't a visible target?
VR sets are really just display and IO devices, there's no good reason for them to not work with older equipment. That's not to say that Valve isn't likely going to make best use of their Index Controllers to provide a unique and purpose designed experience which would just be represented by a button press on other sets. Just that they wouldn't be any good technical reason not to be compatible.
From somebody who used CoffeeScript extensively: I don't think it's a great choice for bigger production projects. The less "noisy" syntax has some very unfortunate consequences. For one, it has zero error correction. Almost any random sequence of characters is a valid program so any minor mistake looks at first like it's working and may even pass some tests but looking at the compiled code makes it suddenly obvious that the code is doing something utterly unexpected. Examples include:

* Minor spacing mistakes subtly moving code between blocks.

* A variable in a nested scope accidentally reusing a name from another scope and merging the variables.

* Implicit return generating huge collections that are never used because a function happened to end in a loop.

* Random breakages because the value of the last statement in a function sometimes affects the callee even though the author didn't mean to return a meaningful value.

* People not setting strict mode because "it's not needed with CoffeeScript" but then introduce bugs where they try to write to readonly properties which silently "succeeds" (does nothing) in sloppy mode.

CoffeeScript looks nice and readable but in practice it's almost impossible to decipher what the code actually does.
I loved USENET. Still do for the few comp.sys groups I visit and that are still active.

I watched it just after reading "7 habits of highly effective people".
The entire time I watched I was critiquing the characters

1. They all lied, all the time, in different ways
2. There is zero trust between anyone.
3. I don't recall any female nudity (perhaps I've become more numb to it?) There was male nudity.
4. Even the "good guys" are terrible people. No one likes them, they are just as big of jerks as the "Heros". Main Character has PTSD from Episode One and it only gets worse (due to his own choices and actions).

It goes to the opposite extreme running the a basic premise of "everyone is a person", everyone has faults, everyone has needs.

The "best moral character" is perhaps Starlight, and she's abused, co-dependent on her mother, and struggling to come to terms with her new job requirements asking her to lie and confronting childhood beliefs and cultures (homophobia, premarital sex).
In the show thus far: no one has dealt with their baggage. No one's trying to in a health way (The Deep might be an exception as he's seen talking with a Therapist, but he's far from "good").

Without having read the comics: I'm not sure the "good" guys win. The protagonist wins. The "factually right" guy wins. But even that has yet to happen in the show.
Actually I'd argue modern superhero culture is a rebuttal to the kind of ponderous dreck Moore and the rest of the British invasion put out. A reaction against the constant need to politicize and comment on a genre as opposed to simply explore it.

Sort of the reason why Manga is so popular is that it doesn't focus heavily on political themes; My Hero Academia is really just about the superheroes.
I find Moore's criticisms a little odd. Imo part of what has made Moore's work so notable is that it turns the genre sideways, or obviously deals with subjects in a much more mature way than an audience is used to seeing. The subversion doesn't work if there's nothing to undermine.

There's things like The Killing Joke that are sort of things unto themselves, but I feel without the context of 'normal' superhero stuff, you lose quite a bit of the venom in like Watchmen or like The Boys (although it's Ennis, they're in the same realm).

But I can admit some sympathy with what they may be getting at indirectly, perhaps there's a risk it draws in too much talent.
There's the Banksy quote
"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists."

It feels a bit self-aggrandizing, but instead of just criticizing people and the stuff they make, ask where the talent is going, and is that a good development?
When targeting machines like Cortex-M4, be sure to add -Wdouble-promotion. Single-precision floats are executed in hardware, but double-precision floats are executed in software.

Called cos() when you meant cosf()? Done in software.

Multiplied by 2.25 when you meant 2.25f? Done in software.

-Wdouble-promotion will help you find those performance bugs.
I find the non-romantic relationships to be far more interesting. Romanoff and Captain America, for instance. Male-female friendships on screen are rare, especially when both the man and woman are attractive and the woman fills the "temptress" role outside of the friendship.
What are those "freedoms", where is that proof, and what is the motivation of these "intelligences"?

I assume they do it because they hate American freedom.

US states and counties often have extensive data that is available under what is basically a disclaimer. They don't really analyze or assert copyright. Google sucks that data up for sure. They buy data from some cities and counties too.

It's hard to push through imports in OpenStreetMap when all you have is a disclaimer, but the data licenses are probably mostly compatible (public records laws requiring the release and things like that).
> the woman he raped and that will not see any justice

Presumption of innocence is a basic concept in law, and an international human right.

We don't know at this point if he raped, assaulted, grabbed by some part of the body, or did anything to any woman. There was not a trial, no judge, no proofs, no videos.

What we know is that Wikileaks most probably contributed to save lots of women from being massively raped. There was a global sense of impunity for armies before and a totally different situation after Assange. Soldiers were allowed to do anything they pleased with civils including children and women. Not so easy anymore
As someone commented on twitter your question is about as useful as asking whether a brain uses torch.autograd to do credit assignment.
And the things you do need to (...)
There is a big difference between the information you make public and information that you want to keep private. If you are using Twitter to express opinions publicly only, then there is little point in caring about how they deal with data you chose to make public to the entire world.

Direct messaging and protected tweets are a different story though, but your statement is objectively wrong.
Classic game of gossip going on here. "I heard it on the news/online. Even if it isn't true, I'm going to share what I heard, because WOW! What if?!"

Natural = Zero | Successor(Natural)

The mapping from Natural to Integer is standard.
You might be right on their priorities, but I think my reasoning also holds, even if it’s maybe not the primary reason they didn’t make an HL3.

I’ve given some thought to this, and I invite you to do the same: if there was an HL3 that continued in the tradition of serving as a tech-demo for a new kind of realtime physics-sim tech, what are the possibilities for the tech it could be showcasing?

I’m not too deep into physical-simulation research, so I can’t say whether there’s something just sitting around as a journal paper. What I can say is that I haven’t seen anything in a modern title (even an artsy indie title) that would have made for a good basis for an HL game. Have you?
Hopefully Stadia encourages more publishers to make games that work across platforms, especially multiplayer games. I think cross-platform play is one of the main reasons Fortnite is so popular.

I am skeptical about everything else, especially with the direction Google’s management has steering toward, but curious what will happen.

Are more ads and abusive user tracking in games the price of ”free”? Would all ads and tracking really be turned off if paying a monthly or yearly fee? What happens when the network goes down or the service is retired? What happens to modding? Who controls what can or cannot be said, and what can and cannot be criticized, or even mentioned, in a story?

Snowden's been pretty explicit that he would be willing to return to the US if he was guaranteed a free trial, and that he believes the Espionage Act would deprive him of that trial.

> They want to use special procedures they want to be able to close the courtroom, they want the public not to be able to go, know what's going on. And, essentially, the most important fact to the government and this is the thing we have a point of contention on, is that they do not want the jury to be able to consider the motivations.[0]

>On 10 June 1990, Batticaloa police locked up a Muslim youth, allegedly found in a compromising position with a Sinhalese woman by her husband.

If that’s an acceptable reason to lock up someone, then perhaps they deserved to get shot?
It's simple. I'm just saying that (for most frameworks) it's a lot of work and boilerplate. It's also easy to miss individual cases during code review, etc.
That's totally unworkable. That banana you buy in the supermarket is imported and sold with a gross margin in the low single-digits. Taxes the revenue at income tax levels would effectively raise prices by the tax rate, i. e. 30% or so.

If the supermarket doesn't buy the banana directly from the plantation, that tax would accrue at every step of the chain. You'd effectively be prohibiting trade and people would switch to monthly drives to local farms and an entirely potato-based diet.
Back when smoking weed was more heavily stigmatized (and enforced with jail time), a drug habit was seen as handy blackmail material. That does make doing it publicly something that is less of a concern though; nobody can blackmail Musk for smoking weed because everyone knows he's done it.

Beside the HBO adaptation of Watchmen, I'm also watching the Amazon adaptation of The Boys right now. It addresses the übermensch-worship-culture even more directly. Highly recommended (though not as highly as Watchmen).
While a lot of people here are commenting that they fall into this group I would also say that the users on this forum are in no means a representative cross-section of the general public. Everyone here is far more aware of privacy issues around Google than 99% of Fitbit users.
It's not a 1% chance. Even if one accepts your definition of torture, people who aren't criminals are very rarely caught up in the system at all. So it's far less than 1% as long as you're simply not a criminal.

If the US were really so bad, people would leave. The people who do leave typically leave for tax purposes opposite to your belief.
We've agreed on a system of law. Actual justice is frequently only an accidental byproduct.

It's kind of like running for president of the United States and bragging that you got "hundreds" of votes.

That makes sense, I don't think a social network and privacy advocating (WikiPedia donating, HN type) go hand in hand. I like the premise of WT.Social.

Facebook is where it is because it cracked 'real identity' when others were encouraging dog/cat names for profiles.
There's a similar book by Bruce Gibney called "Generation of Sociopaths" that addresses this notion - a thought-provoking read

I actively try to avoid anything that look like a conspiracy, but when I read the news that the prosecutor was going to make a statement my first thought was that it would be very convenient for the US if Sweden dropped the case. And then the actually statement came out and they dropped it.

I had been worried about the Chinese influence in America for a while in the past, but recently came to the conclusion that the American value system is not at risk of being taken over by the Chinese value system. The American system pushes forward individual freedom, humanism, liberalism, capitalism -- things that transcend the boundaries of race, borders, etc. I would argue these values were quickly adopted by many cultures because they provide a lot of value in today's market driven world.

In comparison, what the PRC offers is very specific to China. The government wants to see China grow strong and lead the world. They may or may not get there, but these values offer little value to the rest of the world, especially those that have already adopted the liberal values.
I should probably clarify: assassination of high-visibility undisclosed targets. Osama bin Laden was tagged as an enemy combatant quite publicly, and I'm not aware of anyone disagreeing with the US's tactical call to kill him during Operation Neptune Spear rather than take him alive.

Some Congresspeople have made ill-advised claims around Assange, but to my knowledge he is not tagged as an enemy combatant in a war on terror and there would be quite a lot of surprise if the US sent in a SEAL team to shoot him.
I think we can criticize both the Chinese Govt as well as our own government. For instance, China sees no holdback from imprisoning and killing anyone on the thinnest of pretenses, it's basically wielding ultimate authoritarian power to ruin or end lives. On the other hand, the US actually wields a similar authoritarian imprisonment power much more frequently than China, actually more than almost any nation in the world - 10x more than other enlightened western nations, and the same or more than many repressive nations going by percentages of population in prison. The US justifications for that many in prison are just as weak a pretense as the Chinese justifications we just accept them more readily.

Wether it's an oligarchy of party elite, or oligarchy of robber barons pulling the strings makes little difference to the lives ruined.
Sorry to break the bad news, but Carly Simon was probably singing about someone else...

While bacon-mania certainly has some corporate/big-farm backing, and at least a small amount of being a pushback (like some pro-steak sentiments) to being demonised by some for your choice of food preference, I find it more than a bit of a stretch to suggest there is any antireligion thing going on aside from those few for who everything is a chance to be anti-[insert-religion-or-other-thing-here] that they jump at enthusiastically.
