Congress could rule that the copying/filtering method is illegal and that Henning’s method of mirroring is the only acceptable practice. Then we don’t care so much about the specific means. I’m not a huge fan of ombudsman/czar positions but I think it would make sense to have some sort of privacy advocate within the executive and maybe even a house committee on the topic. It’s abundantly clear at this point that when it comes online communications we are no closer today to addressing issues of privacy, encryption, online free speech, than we were thirty years ago when the battles over clipper were fought.
UAC is even more useless, it just tells you "Do you want to allow xyz to make changes to your computer", without telling you what any of those changes or permissions are. Android permission prompts are way better.
The NHS/universal healthcare was introduced in Britain in 1948, after WWII. The NHS isn't perfect, but it's much better than the American system. If we want a more flexible healthcare model, we can have universal healthcare to cover necessary + preventative care, with the option to purchase supplemental insurance for expedited and/or non-medically necessary care. Several other countries have that model.
Sorry if I was unclear, I meant a red flag wrt cliqz's intentions. Do you think the address bar rewrite will be able to satisfy cliqz's needs and therefore allow them to unfork/go back to being an add-on?
Not only that, the bit about letting you "out-and-out own the work done on your own time... not [using] any company resources" is standard.

Most ownership clauses allow it, and many of them don't even require permission. They might require notice, or encourage you to check in with legal up front to preempt issues, but they don't require you to get approval for a project totally unrelated to your job. I'm not sure why people are claiming the situation is already so bad there's no point in caring.
The only time someone will NOT copy you, is if the market is not worth it. But this is by definition a market that you should not play in.

Look at markets that are worth it (e.g. cloud computing)- they have products from different companies with exactly the same features.

I recently came across these math (and some physics) notes by Dexter Chua during his time as an undergraduate at Cambridge. Amazingly, he's transcribed several years of high quality math notes in LaTeX. Since members of this community frequently ask how improving their mathematical understanding, I thought to share this phenomenal resource. It looks like Dexter is now a PhD student at Harvard, and if you wish to reach out and show appreciation, his contact information is listed on the page.

They're doing it wrong. The documentary "Idiocracy" showed the perfect solution. A recliner with a built in toilet and food dispenser.

If it can’t be done with non-a11y APIs then it doesn’t fit the definition of “things Apple thinks normal app should do,” whether we agree with that or not. The way I see it, and I know it’s a controversial view, if a developer is ok with flaunting the platforms rules about the purpose of an API[1], then what other behavior might they be ok with?

1: The first sentence in Apple’s accessibility API docs[2] is: “Accessible apps help users with disabilities access information and information technology.“ I think they are very clear about the purpose of these, and it’s not “to do cool innovative things missing from the regular API”.

Possibly due to the weird interest rates in the last 10 years? I think T-Bond pricing will vary based on interest rates, like if the interest rate has declined since you bought your bond it will be worth more iirc, so the weird interest rates market recently could have an outsized effect here?
Any such retaliation should be dealt with harshly. After all it is a fundamental right of workers to collectively bargain and eroding that right is a pretty big crime.

It's important to remember that there is no real "bottom-up" when it comes to music theory. Sure there's a couple of rough audio-acoustic rules like how simple fractions of frequences sound more harmonious because there's less beating, but those rules are few and don't get you far.

They're equivalent to noting that, say, vowel sounds with similar formants are harder to distinguish. That's true, but there's no way to reason up from that all the way to Shakespeare and Dickens.

The way to look at music theory is that it's like linguistics for sound. It doesn't say "here are the rules that are required to generate X". It says "people have already generated X, Y, and Z (using whatever intuitive cultural processes and/or academic learning they had) and here are the patterns we observe about the result."

People creating music are not outputting new provable theorems derived generatively from the axiomatic rules of music theory. Music theory cannot disprove a song.

People just make stuff they and others like (or don't). And then music theorists try to find the common threads that link it to better understand how the world of music fits together. It is descriptive and not prescriptive.

Knowing theory can help you write music because it can take information you already have in your intuitive "ear" and move it to your front cortex or somewhere more accessible to your hands. But many other musicians skip this step entirely and just connect their hands straight to their intuition though tons of practice. Either path is valid for producing beautiful music.
Ooh, this is a tough one.

I was initially going to inquire why someone like Binney, Drake, or Snowden couldn't just testify to the fact that they could retrieve results where the source data obviously was not (or could not have been) collected through one of the PRISM partners. But because of Wikipedia's general transparency, the gov't could just come claim that, say, the IP associated with the edit history was retrieved at the time of the search or something so it doesn't prove bulk collection.

I guess you'd have to have a search that returns data clearly not public like the Wikipedia viewing habits associated with a given selector or set of selectors. E.g., something that necessitates having stored the bulk data at a previous point in time.
As a counter point, I think obsession over goals and intense work ethic can bring immense happiness. Allows you to eventually explore and build projects you want to. To live in a home not plagued by disruptions and slum lords. To access lawyers if you need them.

I think most people are just boring, lack imagination and don’t know anything interesting to do. Perhaps it’s tied to their ability to excel at a high paying job. But more likely, I’d say people are just diminished by education and life but somehow never can change. I know a lot of rich people who are terribly unhappy and do nothing at all with their vast wealth.
I recommend you download the spreadsheet, it can be really helpful in doing the 'null' hypothesis in financial analysis. I always like to compare my choices in investments versus the 'stick it into SPX500 ETFs' as the alternative. To do that you need to collect all this data, which is doable, but hey here they have it all in a nice package.

MIT 18.337: Parallel Computing and Scientific Machine Learning
> were it not for my using an Open Source solution [...], it would be impossible for me to hook up [...] and other devices to Homekit without a bunch of different gateways (because some Zigbee endpoints simply refuse to talk to anything other than their own peers).

And worse, in my "casual" case, because some sort of Philips/Apple agreement outright prevents it :/

E.g. add a "Hue compatible", but non-Philips bulb to your Hue hub. It will work in the Hue app and via Amazon Echo, but Homekit will refuse to see it.

A way to "trick" homekit to be able to use the bulb with it, is to create a Hue scene, and sync it to homekit, but that is terrible for per-bulb control. This stuff is apparently all Zigbee, but the usability situation is an absolute mess.

I'm an avid user for many years, and when I used vaping pens for a couple weeks, I felt the damage in my lungs, it was uncomfortable. Burning oil was a little better but it still felt like the hot air was burning your lungs, and burning wax had a completely different problem where I literally felt wax on my esophagus and lungs the more I vaped. Never had any of these problems smoking from a bong. I'll stick to what has been tried and tested for centuries if not millenia.
Yeah, you can definitely look at the list of schedule 1 drugs and get a strong sense of "one of these things is not like the other".
I do not believe we should interfere with the market when it's working.

But you are a little bit wrong.
Currently, it supports migrations and will support deployment very soon.

I don't agree about ReactJS and Webpack. I start using both in my projects and it didn't take too much time to learn them. Even if I don't know them deep I know them enough to use in the real projects.

I agree that currently, Django is more might than this project but it's just a beginning.

You are not right about modules too. It has nothing to do with Python's modules, I "invented" my own "modules" - it's just a combination of front-end code and Python API in one folder. And I created them to make the project more scalable. I don't know though if I gained this goal or not - yet.
While Pearson have the advantage of some connections at universities and in the education sector, they also have the disadvantage of being a large and slow organization. Hiring 25 people won’t get you a better product than that lone wolf has, unless you (the one hiring the 25 people) have the vision and understanding of what those 25 people are going to build.

And from what I’ve seen of Pearson, I highly doubt they have a clue. Their existing business survives due to market inertia, but they’re very far from delivering quality products.

On a local or communal level, all residents would have access to computer systems, and persistent accounts

Reading this line, I'm reminded of being in University, having written some coursework on the shared computer system, and having a peer use their network contacts of older students to lift my work from my account and copy it, without me ever knowing how. At least with my personal computers, the bits I don't understand simply sit there being mysterious, they aren't other people's playground by default.

It's quite possible that was a formative experience which set me on the path of current strong dislike and distaste for cloud computing and SaaS subscriptions.

"These local computer spaces would be maintained by a staff of people both serving as administrators and educators."

A population average loss doesn't even mean that I'll deterministically lose 6 to 8 IQ points. But it's strong enough evidence that it severely fucks with the brain for me to stay the hell away. The direct effect of the loss of a few IQ points is not the issue.
That discounts businesses that collapse entirely, or under-preform enough to exit the index market. Indexes are misleading because they have a strong survivor bias. Stocks that slipped out of the S&P 500 entirely no longer register, but the money you had in them sure does.

I'd like to see the S&P performance of then current index stocks over the same time period, im guessing it would be significantly worse.

Washington had a slave batman whom he kept all through the Revolutionary war.

> William "Billy" Lee (1750–1828), also known as Will Lee, was George Washington's personal assistant and the only one of Washington's slaves freed immediately by Washington in his will. Because he served by Washington's side throughout the American Revolutionary War and was sometimes depicted next to Washington in paintings, Lee was one of the most publicized African Americans of his time.

Yes. The other way to look at it is that #4 on his list is the only learning that truly mattered.

The UK's NHS was created in the late-1940s, so in the same general timeframe.

At roughly the same time, Harry Truman had a (possibly) better model, but business groups and the AMA prevented adoption (because "socialism").
Hard to develop tech is a huge moat. The issue here is timing.
Hard tech buys you time. Most of the M&A today is not done due to hard to replicate, but due to time. Even if I can replicate the tech, I do not have time to do that.
unless you find yourself with an overwhelming number of customers all at once (which would be a nice problem to have), and that upgrade is what would have prevented a problem, trying to keep up-to-date before building the actual product just busy-work.

I didn't downvote it, but regardless of why the farmers are protesting (which indeed is about nitrogen emissions limits), the farm industry does also contribute significantly to air pollution - https://euconf.eu/clean-air/topics-air-pollution-from-agricu... (this and plenty of other studies/measures).

So while I did bring up the farmer protests, which are indeed about nitrogen and not about climate change, it's still one facet of the same problem: commercial interests over regional and global health interests.

Failure as a process
Do keep in mind that absolute returns are not the most important factor in investing. What you should care about are risk-adjusted returns of a particular asset, and return stability of your whole portfolio.

You can always use leverage to magnify the returns of any asset class up to whatever level you want. The only limiting factor there is risk and the cost of borrowing.

Before I learned about finance I thought that the purpose of diversification was safety. And it is, in part. But as a consequence of the AM-GM inequality [1], diversification actually increases your long-term returns. A returns stream of 8% every year will have substantially more money than a returns stream with a mean of 8%, that bounces up and down. If you play around with some numbers, you'll quickly see how profoundly important this fact is.

Corporations shouldn't have the responsibility of providing a minimum standard of living to their employees, they should have the responsibility of paying their employees what their employees agreed to work for.

If their employees have their back against the wall and are literally unable to do anything to change their situation, that is a more general societal problem.

"Hundreds" of contractors fired, and "about 20" part and full time positions created.

To clarify: most of these "jobs" were so sparse they could hardly be classified as jobs. They were people working intermittently one or two hours a week as a hobby.

Replacing a bunch of people cosplaying journalists when the mood strikes them with a couple of dozen actual journalists is a good thing.
True - that's when they were an all-American startup, a small group of smart people chasing the American dream.

What's remarkable is that the transition to "just another US corporation" (implying that they value profit over their employees or customers) took so long, that they were able to maintain that startup "communal" culture and innovative mentality.

It's also what makes their current predicament more tragic, the collective disillusionment of their core ideals which is what made them exceptional and respected in the first place.
