Someone said a plumbing business wouldn’t scale. He scaled a plumbing business. Obviously in scaling it, this multi-millionaire is not personally doing the plumbing anymore - you are right. I don’t see how that means he hasn’t scaled it though?
That same justification was used against political dissidents in the Soviet Union

American: has UK: have. Collective nouns (teams, companies, groups) are grammatically singular in the US and plural in the UK.
This is not an argument, like not at all, it's just a distraction from the issue: Trampling all over user-rights because somewhere in hundreds of pages of ToS/EULA legal-speak there's a clause hidden supposedly justifying it all.

Here's some reality: "You’d Need 76 Work Days to Read All Your Privacy Policies Each Year" [0] and that was back in 2012. Since then ToS, EULA, Privacy Statement and whatnot have only expanded in scope, people use even more services these days and thus accept even more terms.

You'd need a dedicated law team doing all the reading and interpreting for you if you want to realistically stay informed about all that consent you've given, without having to give up large parts of your productivity just checking and tracing what weird things you supposedly agreed to [1].

There need to be some well-established limits that won't just rely on users supposedly hand-waving all their privacy away, that way the USG might actually even go back to honoring the Fourth Amendment [2].

This is a problem with the current financing model of tech in NA; the product didn't arise strictly from user-sourced revenue growth, but from the hopes and dreams of investors who are attracted to the user growth. Revenue sourced from user demand is tied to features users almost certainly want, whereas investors want features that will continue growth. That's not always useful to existing users.
Agreed. So I assume you’d be opposed to a policy that has the effect of requiring parental co-signing and discriminates in part based on the income and affluence of the parents?

Sure, PR Newswire has never retracted an article in the past 13 years, to my knowledge. They've published corrections given to them by sources, but the original article was accurate to what the source gave to them. They are truly modern-day heroes.

Decreasing reliance on Poland (and on Ukraine to a degree) is a concern in Poland though. This combined with our (Polish) politicians being idiotically pro-US makes Poland likely to oppose Merkel on this issue.

Which is sad, but you don't get to call for unity against US while simultaneously unilaterally breaking EU unity against Russia.
My TV has an obnoxious full volume boot sound unless you connect it to the internet :-/
It turns out that Germany has been adversarial toward the US throughout its history. This"German call for European unity against the US" is almost identical to their opposition in the Spanish-American War.
Having tried Rocket, Riot, and Mattermost before, it's of my opinion as well as everyone that I work with that Discord blows them away. It's so much more polished.

I think the word enclave is just being used in more then on way. I have seen that "secure core" many ARM devices have being referred to as secure enclave and secure coprocessor which both isn't quite right but people go with it anyway.

(I mean that additional Cortex-M0/3? core which run in a super previleged mode and often implements the EFI, DRM bs, and sometimes a TPM module)

So I guess we just have to live with it ;)

Edit: through yes secure enclave, secure element and TPM are not the same but they have in common that the represent mistrust in the rest of the hardware.
Not only are the built ins awful. Their lifespan is very short. I had my Samsung for about a year before it would let me know that “XYZ service was ending in one month”.

Disconnected that thing from WiFi and have never hooked it back up. Xbox/PS are just far superior smart devices.

There is no advantage to using a better ODE solver on this example because the sensitivity to errors is so high. You can measure this using the uncertainty quantification methods in the Julia ODE solver suite:

https://docs.juliadiffeq.org/latest/analysis/uncertainty_qua...

where divergence on the Lorenz attactor tends to occur by t=80 or so even with accuracy of 1e-16.

But the funny thing about chaotic problems is that the shadowing theorem holds, which is:

>Although a numerically computed chaotic trajectory diverges exponentially from the true trajectory with the same initial coordinates, there exists an errorless trajectory with a slightly different initial condition that stays near ("shadows") the numerically computed one.

So you might as well just use Euler's method with high error, because it's backwards stable for this calculation, i.e. it gives a trajectory on the attractor, just the wrong trajectory. But since every method gives an O(1) error wrong trajectory after a short finite time, you might as well use the cheapest most error prone but convergent method.
In my experience as a patient trying to deal with a chronic illness. Doctors, like many professionals, seem to have a strong preference for methods that seem to work for them.

Crucially I don’t think there’s a strong feedback loop for specialists. I was frustrated with my urologist. I just got a 2nd (and 3rd) opinion. But the information of “what you were doing hasn’t been working for me” didn’t make it back to my doctors. In part because it takes months to schedule an appointment. They also probably assume if they don’t see me, it just got better. This is partially because medicine is hard and there’s so much subjectivity in patient experiences. Crucially these specialists are in high demand, so they will find work, even if they really are just marginally effective.

Maybe there’s more “feedback” than I see, but That’s just my 2 cents from the patient perspective.
I’m not arguing causation, and I’d be happy rephrasing to say that the investment sees returns precisely because higher income taxes are strongly correlated with degrees. What causes attendance is important to the question of whether investment in college is a return from the point of view of the student, but it’s not particularly important from the point of view of the government and whether the student loan program is paying off today. Whether the government is seeing returns is not a causation vs correlation issue, it’s just a fact.

I’m looking at the raw data, not through the lens of a model that discounts absolute income & savings differences to try to answer a hypothetical question about what college is worth to the individual.

In the case of income & taxes, it’s important in this particular case (that of student loans and income taxes) to look at the raw unadjusted income, because that is what the government sees. It doesn’t matter if tuition is cutting into graduates’ savings, because the government gets it’s income taxes before people get a chance to save (or even spend!).

Your second point is hypothetical, since studies trying to control for IQ and parents’ education and all the other factors we can think of are still showing positive economic returns for college graduates. This paper is asking the question, ‘how can we calculate the return on investment in college’ from the point of view of a student, and trying to rule out factors that give you more income without going to college. However, that is not the same thing as asking ‘what would happen if everyone stopped going to college?’.
What strikes about the theory Lippmann develops in this piece back in 1919, is that the entire argument remains coherent and powerful just as is, a hundred years later in 2019. In the meantime, various implementations of democracy across the world (differing in the way the elections are held, the distribution of power between the legislature, executive and the judiciary and the elections of those etc) have all pretty much encountered the same faultlines emerging.

By that I mean that the majority votes based on a confused jumble of propaganda and misinformation and this voting pattern has not produced the best outcome for 1) the protection of the minorities and 2) solving problems that impact every individual, that also require collective effort, such as climate change and poverty.

While Lippmann blames the impossibility of gleaning facts from the "inconceivable confusion" that is presented to the common person -- and this problem has only become much worse in 2019, given the ease of access to opinions in the internet age -- is it possible that fake news to undermine democracy is an inevitable feature? In other words,
is it possible that even if everyone was presented with crystal clear facts, they would not become rational agents?
That the opinion of the masses will still converge to something based on external variables rather than facts?

The article gives the impression that once the problem of misinformation is eliminated, the democratic model will truly achieve liberty, as Lippmann defines it, but it does not seem rational to subscribe to this belief, simply because there is no historical precedent (fake news and
propaganda are as old as democracy itself and the information age has merely provided infrastructural strength for its spread) and if we were being factual/Bayesian, there is no reason to believe in the redemption of democracy in the absence of misinformation.

You won't consciously break a law that you believe in. "otherwise believe" means that you don't believe in the law.

Svelte looks interesting, however I must say that when I saw stuff like `{#if value} <tag> stuff </tag> {/if}` it really was a turn off for me. One thing I really like about React is the lack of template logic like that. This was something I never cared for in Angular 1 either. I am sure that there are many advantages to it...its just never really resonated with me. Can anyone point to material that could help me understand the value?

That's besides the point. Why block users from using it if they want to so? If it works without any extra maintenance, great. Which, apparently, it did.

Unless Slack has material amounts of support due to mobile users trying to use its web app, which I'm very skeptical about given that the app is a dumb wrapper around a web view anyway, there's no sensible reason to actively prevent those users from using it.

What likely happened instead is that someone at Slack is trying to growth hack app download numbers.
Material comes into embassies in diplomatic bags, these have to pass through security measures at ports and airports. Nuclear material would be easily detected and you could expect the immediate end of diplomatic relations between any states where this kind of event took place.

I think that any state that discovered this could only interpret it as an act of war.

Ehh...I see what you mean but... A lot of tricks have gone into the render pipeline to get pixels drawn in parallel but a lot of rendering is fundamentally ordered. Rasters, blends, grab passes etc. and other non communicative operations are done in sequence even if they can be done in parallel per pixel. And these are just the required cases. Plenty of time you want to order things for performance reasons.

>Most of my current parallelization is explicit ordering of scene elements which allows me to prepare buffers/draw commands in parallel, and filling GPU buffers in parallel. If

That's not naturally parallel. You did all that work to know the order of the object before hand. Its not naturally parallel like, say, functional programming with no side effects is naturally parallel.

And you've hyper focused on the 3D render pipeline when many 2D frameworks have a single Layout/UI thread.

And the major point is none of that has to do with ECS!
And the OP is probably the exact profile of person who will request the desktop page and then open support tickets with Slack when some features break, causing them to spend hours debugging the issue.

The unfortunate reality is that it costs businesses money to support platforms. Blocking unsupported platforms probably results in an extremely small number of irritated users in exchange for saving thousands in support costs.
It could mean that in a close vote like this, the result was due to random chance and not the will of voters. This does happen in fptp as well but not to this extreme.
Mandate transparent disclosure.

Consumers don't care about these schemes because they largely don't know the details.

There should be clear, tobacco-esque disclosure requirements of this sort of thing on the product packaging.

If Samsung et al. want to data mine their customers in exchange for lower pricing, they're welcome to do so. What should not be legal is doing so and appearing the same as a company who does not do so.

Then the market can make up its own mind.
>For example, their iOS app requires iOS 11 or later which means people with a 5c, 5, 4s and iPad 4th gen will not be able to use Slack.

This anti-work ethic you see crop up once in a while is delusion. Success comes from perseverance, not idleness or detachment.

A few days ago, there was an article from some CEO claiming that you don't need to work hard to succeed. Today, we have an article from HBR cautioning about becoming too invested in one's work. This sentiment is dangerous. It's harmful to teach young people to be cynical, indifferent, and lazy, because the vast majority of progress really is made by the passionate and dedicated genius, not the detached crank-turner that HBR writers want impressionable young people to become.

Have a few people succeed without trying? Sure. They were stupid and lucky. Are you one of these people? Almost certainly not. Look at the history of science and innovation: the truth that emerges is that breakthroughs come not from relaxation, but from a combination of passion and hard work.
I think there's a bias against (corporate) lawyers here. The ones I know would definitely do something very close to their day job.

Smart TVs are already cheaper. If you don’t connect it you are basically getting the rebate you should get because your information is sold, but without uploading your information. If this becomes common manufacturers will need to ensure this hole is closed. I suspect TVs will soon be sold with big rebates that can only be redeemed ON the tv itself once it’s been internet connected for some time.
Not sure Python ever had any significant inroads. It's always been Java and C#. All other languages are pretty outlier by comparison. Golang has seen a big uptick in recent years though.
I tend to agree; however, it's really easy to make a site like this work without JS.

Edited to add: to be clear, I mean while still using the framework.
I tried to use ripcord for about a month. There were several features that I really liked (for example - tabs are amazing imo).

The deal breaker ultimately was that I didn't receive all of my notifications which was a problem for work. But I would love to try it again if they solve that problem.

Edit: The hotkeys and the lightweight feel to it was also amazing BTW.
Would this cover using your TV as a monitor only? Theoretically, the monitor could recognize/screenshot your wifi/account setup information (presuming passwords weren’t *-out), do recognition on it, and then log itself into your wifi while pretending to be a dumb monitor.
Same, I really don't like the mental overhead of having to learn the template syntax. I already know JavaScript, just let me use that.
I believe what they’re trying to say is that the context clues in the top-level comment tell us that the comment author defines “faultless record” as “no retractions”. You, me, or any other person can have a different definition of “faultless”, but that is just making conversation break down when we’re all replying to one particular definition that seemed (to me at least) clearly spelled out.
Yes, but we're worst from that now, for commercial flights.

From supersonic back to subsonic...
I agree. Some argue that this kind of template syntax makes it easer for html folks to write logic, but really what it's doing in the long run is introducing yet another abstraction for them to learn while also poorly assuming that they "can't learn JS". Teach a person how to fish... I think the real reason, however, is that it allows for easier compiler-level optimizations.
Why do you specify degree-holding entrepreneurs instead of simply degree-holders? That might hide some survivorship bias.
As long as your traffic is encrypted (which ssh/scp is) and as long as your machine isn't compromised then a firewall can tell so little about your traffic that it would have to be pretty paranoid to attempt to block any of it. It'll work at a Starbucks, but perhaps not in China.

> The signal should travel through walls better.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly the opposite: the shorter wavelength signals in 5G are line of sight, much more so than 4G.
It normalizes the way templates are coded and forces people to put minimal logic in their rendering.

In react, there are as many ways to do the same things as there are coders. And of course, some don't follow best practices and will put logic code in it.

Personnally I also find it easier to picture the resulting DOM structure because the stylee is forced to be declarative. Too often in react I have to look around a tag to know whats hapening, or I have to follow some nested map/filter/ternary chaining.

Very good react coders will not do that. They will use a lot of tooling and abstract formatting a lot. But they are few.

That paper needs an update. Taylor methods utilize AD effectively to get something that seems efficient. But there's a lot of theory to explain why they aren't efficient in practice, mostly because of truncation error coefficient sizes. Also, since the time of the article, there have been much better high order explicit RK methods that have been derived, and improved schemes for adaptive order explicit extrapolation. When we benchmark these against Taylor methods which use an optimal form of AD (provided by TaylorIntegration.jl), we still see about a 10x performance difference when at the edge of Float64 range:

https://benchmarks.juliadiffeq.org/html/DynamicalODE/Henon-H...

https://benchmarks.juliadiffeq.org/html/DynamicalODE/Quadrup...

As you get outside of Float64 range, the parallelized explicit extrapolation methods seem to do better. This is something we're going to be getting a lot more precise benchmarks in JuliaDiffEq now though, since we have optimized generic implementations of each of the methods and can thus use Float128 and arbitrary precision on all of the methods simultaneously to really figure out the cutoff.

But thinking about efficiency and accuracy misses the point of Taylor methods. The Taylor methods have a way of getting rigorous error bounds on the integration (like interval arithmetic, but for the continuous ODE), which is the real reason why they can be useful, with the extra cost of course.
A lot of those "major life decisions" end up being meaningless anyway. There are two things that survive you: your children and your work. Other pursuits are entertainment --- fine in small doses, paralyzing as objectives.

There is no such thing as "meaning", and your "identity" is your value to society. Wasting time on a pursuit of "meaning" is masturbatory.
Don’t. Good panels and quick onboard logic correlates strongly to being a “smart TV”. It’s better to buy a smart one and just not connect it.
Oh they count Chromebooks too... Wonder if that's intentional.

I love my job. My work is interesting. My peers are delightful. I’ve had great jobs and a great career.

My job is not my whole identity. It is 0% of my identity. It’s just a job. If I had FU money I’d peace out tomorrow and work on hobby projects in my spare time.

These days I feel like I’m the oddball. I don’t associate my job or hobby with my identity. I couldn’t tell you my “identity” if I tried. I’m a soup of likes, dislikes, hopes, fears, and more. I don’t really understand why people try to put their identity in a tight box with a neat label.
