Felt the same. The few french dubs that are feeling "ok" are mostly biased from nostalgia by being the first things we were exposed to. I know i feel that way with the Cowboy Bebop dub (and i won't take into account the Miyazaki movies as they are exceptions for many reasons).

The few other dubs i was exposed to later in life weren't good experiences either and you could feel the limited cast (in quality and quantity of actors) failing at not butchering things along the process.

Like you said animation and dubbing it wasn't taken seriously at all in the past, and is still limited nowadays in France as i understand it (short discussions with actual french dubbing actress and few articles).
> but then I think what we're currently seeing is the future of war

We can only hope. AFAIK, none of the wars since WWII were total wars between powers with strong industrial/technological capability.

If that should happen, heaven forbid, it will be mayhem with crazy weaponized computer security exploits and rushed autonomous weapon platforms deployed within weeks or months. I think that's what GP is alluding to. We have seen plenty of conflict, but not the kind that drives the most significant innovation in weapons technology.

Here's to hoping that things stay on this level, and the superpowers continue to realize that trade is more profitable than war. (And that disagreements are settled, at the most, with economic warfare rather than shooting wars).
If you ask me, the same is true of the current culture of "a device must receive (automatic!) OTA updates from the manufacturer or it is insecure, and local administrative control is dangerous." And the the underlying logic is the same, a kind of nannying philosophy that holds that people are too witless and irresponsible to be trusted with freedom, and for their own good must be shepherded and coddled by a friendly Big Brother.

Again, why do you think a death by suicide inside the factory is unusual?

Suicide is a leading cause of death in every single country in the world (albeit it doesn't always appear to be so because of the way it's counted) and so when you have a very large employer you're going to see many deaths in their workforce.

Every death by suicide is a tragedy for that person and their loved ones, but I'm not seeing anything that says Foxconn have unusually large rates of deaths.
I agree with your point in parentheses. It appears I've been downvoted into oblivion despite not even indicating my own leaning.

Even if we're acknowledging that this story wasn't a setup, it's wrong to suggest that there's more right-wing bias in British media than left. It's probably about the same, though of course some establishments will always have particular leanings (e.g. Guardian to the left) Even the Beeb, which one would assume is neutral, regularly jumps on the Boris-bashing brigade.

Be careful, the Financial Panopticon lobby is getting better at this at an exponential rate. Just look at how they reacted to cryptocurrencies.

If the purchase is electronically receipted the return will be as well. All they have to do is change the wording from "purchases" to "net purchases". Or just issue a regulatory interpretation indicating that's what the legislators meant in the first place.
I might alter it slightly to say "If you work for someone that thinks they're Steve Jobs, let them do the designs".

Yup.

My first thought was "What about the time when a lot of the central US was under water?"

Then I realized the timeline isn't nearly long enough.
Uh, I'd like to hear your reasoning for counting an ICBM as a direct fire weapon.

Further, are you so familiar with the authors work that you feel it can be dismissed with little more than a wave of the hand? A wave that by the way states that the period of time containing both all the geopolitical effects of the end of the cold war (those certainly appeared after 1990) and the two longest running wars in US history is "peaceful" with only "minor geopolitical changes".

I at least feel the author deserves more credit for actually trying to do some quantitative work, instead of just making a snarky comment of little substance.

Does the title really fit the article? The article discusses how smart crows are. It doesn't compare them in any way to other smart non-primates like elephants, cetaceans and cephalopods. Of course their tool use is a pretty big deal, but it's not the only aspect of intelligence. Squids have shown to be amazing problem solvers too.

By the way, a while back I read that the tool-using crows of New Caledonia had their eyes more to the front than other crows, and someone used that to discover that another group of crows (on Hawaii I think) also used tools.

> Some time back, around the 34nm era, CPU components stopped getting materialy smaller.

> Transistor count plateaued.

No. Transistor count has continued to increase. The "nm" numbers still correlate with overall transistor density. The change is that transistor density is no longer a function purely of the narrowest line width that the lithography can produce. Transistors have been changing shape and aren't just optical shrinks of the previous node.

Apparently they want to create a distributed ledger using something akin to a blockchain. If that is the case then they can benefit from transactions going over their network but I doubt that it will be open source. Maybe the code to operate a node will be open sourced but just that.
While I'm not overly optimistic about his goal of getting solutions from the game to be enacted in real life Seattle, it's a really admirable idea and an impressive execution to boot.

I'm wondering if, with a big enough budget and a team of skilled devs like Dustin here, the local government could create more refined simulations to tackle these planning issues. Or would that inevitably run into the problem mentioned in his Project Mission: 'People are local experts on the small slice of the city they interact with daily -- the one left turn lane that always backs up or a certain set of poorly timed walk signals'?

Perhaps, with a large enough data pool, even these small quirks could be worked out via simulation?

I know which one i'd choose (between the two, assuming cygwin wasn't an option). There absolutely is such a thing as too much. Although with Putty, I'd never complain about its simplicity -- it has just enough.

Just google the user docs for "Reflection Workspace" if you've never used it. Maybe there are more uses to it, but for the work place I mentioned above, it was 100% just a means of connecting with ssh.

This is not at all what we want. We need to build an automated electric high speed cargo rail system connecting the coasts and major ports. The system has to have the ability for individual container units to be routed independently.

Nothing would compare to moving cargo at 300 mph or more on an efficient rail system.

We need trucking to be local or short range and eliminate individual trucks for long range delivery.
Yeah in the same sense your vote doesn't decide the election. It certainly has worked wiith many missteps fallen into obscurity. Marketing is a post-facto category for success. If everything is done right for a campaign but the CEO says something outrageous it is all undone like the infamous Gerald Rattner incident.
The title doesn't even say that it is a story.
It doesn't necessarily have to be the case.

I've contributed a few small patches to some well-known open-source projects. In the months after that I've received a few automated mails from some CI systems informing me about some (un)successful build. Probably because somewhere somebody integrated a new version of said open-source projects in their product and the system is configured to mail every committer the outcome of the CI pipeline, regardless of whether that committer is actually an employee...
Still sloppy ops though.
I don't disagree but I also wouldn't say that I have a very high opinion of the US political system. I didn't know about Trudeau in Canada, and I confess I don't know much about Canada, either.

I certainly haven't noticed the same kind of political dynasty in other EU countries. Not that there are no pathologies in their political systems.

The thing is, in Greece, we could perhaps say that it's OK to be ruled by the sons and grandsons of previous PMs if things were going alright despite that. They are not though. And it's an easy correlation to assume between nepotism and corruption in politics.
Refusing to play politics is also a political strategy. It won't work in every situation. Sometimes, being blunt will work out very badly, but sometimes your candor will be respected and your opinion will be sought out because of it. Refusing to play the game can put you in a position above the fray.

You won't be promoted to management, but if that is not your goal, it may not matter.

Hello,

TL;DR: You can now target your twitter ads/promoted tweets to list members/subscribers!

Twitter ads have a very poor targeting options, so I've built a search engine to find Twitter lists where your customers are. Try to search for example for "Wedding","Crypto", "development", "Marketing" or anything else.

The tool will find most of the list in this topic (I'm still improving the search engine). Once you find a list which you like you can export it as a CSV file and upload it to Twitter as a custom audience and target your ads/promoted tweets only to the member/subscribers of the list.

I've just used it to extract 800K twitter handles of PPC professionals!

Let me know your feedback. Thanks!

I wonder if what makes humans "intelligent" is exactly this. Plus we have a 70-90 years of life. Which is long enough to learn and do stuff, compare that to 10-15 years for your average crow.

We start bombarding babies with information since a very early age. Parents, are incentivized to teach their babies how to talk, walk, read, write, do stuff, eat, sing, etc... The amount of cognitive exercise is insane. And a human will only be able to "say" something useful until he is 7-8 year old. He's kinda of a "retard" before that. That's 7-8 years of training just to get started.

Then humans get bombarded with education: Math, Physics, Language, Writing, Sports, etc... And they are a strict about going to school and performing well. That would take another 12-15 years of your life to, hopefully, learn something useful to society. Add to that 3-4 years of learning in the job, and a human is only able to bring food to the table after 25-26 years of learning and training.

That's a hell lot of time. No other animals in the wild are given this chance. Let alone their environments and their physical capacities are taken into consideration. We judge animal intelligence by comparing it to our self-architectured modern environment.

tl;dr: Humans might not be smart after all. It might be that we have been lucky that our ancestors have started the ball rolling and we have had enough time during our lifetime to make up for the initial investment of learning.
Well, not exactly. Debts of government were written-off about 50% https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_government-debt_crisis

As far as I know that means that creditors from northern Europe paid 50% of debts. This is organized default and a deal package that came with it. I wouldn't say German banks were exactly winners here.
Ok, so according to this I have a 50 cylinder car because it has that much horsepower. (based on 1910-era horsepower-to-cylinder ratio)
One extra complicating factor is that each process node will have several different transistor libraries that make different tradeoffs between density and power/frequency. So a smartphone SoC will tend to have a higher MT/mm^2 number than a server CPU or GPU.
I still see retail sites crippled by poor search choices, such as requiring the customer to understand how the retailer categorizes its inventory before it will search for anything, or by showing the union of the matches to each term, so that adding terms, in an attempt to narrow the search, broadens it instead.
Then you must be pretty rich. A lot of Americans spend 25% of their income on housing alone.

Of course, if you need only one machine the cloud is probably not for you. If however you can make use of all the hosted options (CloudSQL, Pub/Sub, ML, etc.) and need scalability (in terms of number of machines used) these services are actually useful.

Example, say you run an online shop that has more demand in certain timeframes (like black-friday or December) you can easily scale your website by spinning up machines, which you can easily stop using after the demand flats out. With own hardware/colo/traditional web hosting you can't do that and holding like 10x hardware for short-term traffic spikes makes no sense.

>> Seen another way, companies will have to provide electronic payment options.

This is already the case in Greece. Even "periptera" (equivalent to drug stores in the US or corner shops in the UK) have to accept card payments and issue receipts, which was unheard of a few years ago. This was explicitly imposed to curb VAT tax evasion I believe. It was a measure insituted by the previous government, of Syriza.
Author stated: “And there isn't much left to account for, just the case, the motherboard, and the cooling. None of those come close to explaining away all the additional cost”

Okay:
- Xeon W compatible motherboard: ~$700-750
- E-ATX case with a good airflow: ~$200-300
- Quiet cpu fan (not server one): ~$70
- Keyboard/Mouse: ~$50-100
- OS: $199

After some simple calculation we may see a little bit increased estimated price about $3000 which is not so impressive as $1739 right?

This is a “budget” setup compared to Apple’s “luxury” components like highly extensible custom motherboard with T2, Thunderbolt 3 etc., large, beautiful aluminum case with an excelent airflow and so on.

Had Apple a leeway space to lower the price? Of course yes, but it’s definitely not $4200, i’d say like $500-1000.
Should Apple do this? No. I see no reason for price drop, while competitors like Dell and Asus offers more expensive and less featured workstations.

This is why I am very glad to be an independent contractor without the pesky “inventions” clause. With “inventions” clauses, if I worked on my open-source MaraDNS while on the clock, a company could make a reasonable legal case that they own it.

Even in California, where a company can not own inventions done on one’s own equipment in one’s own time (as long as it’s not related to their day job), before signing an “inventions” clause, I am very careful to tag my GitHub repos with a date stamp before the date I signed the inventions clause, and only use versions of my open source software at work which I wrote before I started working for them (e.g. I have a secure password generator shell script, and when I use it to generate the dozen or so passwords I need to do my work, I use a version which existed before I started work at the company).
