Yes, that's a security feature. It's also true for Google Authenticator, by design. You cannot officially back up/share codes because of the potential vulnerabilities that a backup would open up.

Yubikey has the same problem you describe. If your key stops working, you'd also be locked out. Yubikeys can spontaneously stop working in my experience.

To mitigate this, sites like login.gov allow you to add multiple devices, so you can have it on e.g. your laptop and your phone, and yubikeys if you'd like. I generally do all three for important sites (or multiple Yubikey when touchID is not offered).

Anyway, my point is that offering TouchID makes a more secure 2FA very, very convenient for the average person. I'm just surprised more developers haven't offered it even though it's been in Chrome for a couple years.
Plenty of people!

There’s a market. Not what it once was, because what was once the recording market was born out of necessity as much as anything else.

I, like a lot of other people, am definitely interested in the ephemera. I like owning records. There’s a tangible ritual to putting a record on, and there’s really something to be said for the sound. Even dirty records with their occasional pops and scratches. It’s a visceral appreciation for the medium, to be sure. That said I also buy a lot of paper books.

There’s also something to owning a copy. I use Apple Music these days when I’m commuting or on the road and it’s great. I can hear most anything I want for the price I pay each month, but I even still buy copies of albums I really love because they’re mine. It won’t go away if Apple decides to kill the streaming service, or if I decide to unsubscribe (which will be the case at some point because the stacking up of subscriptions wears on me).

On the whole? I don’t know. I’m curious about the data, too. But who is buying music? A lot of people! There is still a lot of people who don’t just see it as a commodity.

On that last note I’m not a great trend-chaser, so I probably have a certain lens I see the whole thing through—but I’m not the only one.
It's extremely odd that you assume it's Americans who would be the only ones to call out a racist dogwhistle, when some of the most "progressive" countries in the world are in Europe. I'm skeptical of the idea that a French person is necessarily white - nationality, race, ethnicity and citizenship can (and many times are) not all the same, yet "French" can refer to any one or more of them.
Sloppy work in this article. I wonder what drove him to write something like this. It sounds like he's a true hater ...of haters!

haters are just part of life. No need to get worked up on them and make sloppy, weak arguments about them.

> "I've been able to observe for long enough that I'm fairly confident the pattern works both ways: not only do people who do great work never become haters, haters never do great work"

He's a social scientist doing work on human behavior?
I agree. Last time I hired a data scientist, we got someone who could code but who'd write very much suboptimal code that worked for his exploration and as a proof of concept, but not much more.

That worked out fine: we paired him with a relatively junior developer that worked with him on translating his proof of concept code into something more suitable for production. I think both of them learned quite a lot of coding and data science respectively from each other, and output was good.

But if our data scientist hadn't been able to produce something that we could run as a starting point, the gap would have been too big.
This is a slightly ridiculous position if it is taken genuinely - just look at the other comments in this thread complaining about "melting pots" and "cultural erasure".

More to the point - dogwhistles are meant to give subtexts with plausible deniability. That you can find an alternative meaning for them is precisely their intent. It is not a compelling argument to claim that the original commenter was, in fact, innocent - you should instead be able to absolve them beyond all doubt.

And clearly that isn't possible here.
Interesting! I generally check it once a week. Any idea what their timeout is?
Consumer grade routers are all buggy or have some proprietary features that just don't work with Openwrt.

Not sure how much it's still the case, but for a long time there were a bunch that worked just fine with OpenWRT as long as it was the forked 3 generation old version that was the official firmware.
This seems to me, to be a package manner implementation detail. The packager manager I am most familiar with, npm, won't have an issue with the diamond problem, since node modules can install nested modules, allowing B and C to both depend on unique versions of D.
I've lived in a few big cities but Paris definitely is very different to the others. There are moments when it's like the depictions in the films: quiet boulevards lined with Haussmann apartments sitting ontop of quaint boulangeries. I think this is why it's such a shock when you're faced with the rest of it which is dirty, smelly, noisy, home to 10 million people filled with scam artists and impatient Parisians.

I'd seen this Paris syndrome thing a number of times before visiting over the past year. It set my expectations low enough that it paradoxically helped make my visit a delight.

People were delightful. Streets were clean enough. The subway system was older but functional and fine. It felt like any large city that wasn't built in the past 20 years (e.g. Shanghai) and has history and a broad demographic. It had the gritty underside of any large, bustling city, and many of the faults I could equally apply to London, NYC, and other major cities.

Loved it. Plan on going again. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable, and was always in awe of the beauty and history.
>if you're Japanese or Israeli or hail from any number of other single-ethnicity states, you're totally A-OK to advocate for all of the same things the French want in their nation, without any accusations at all.

I love how often I see this statement, then I realize it doesn't apply to me. Absolutely the same standards I hold for my own country, the French, etc. I hold for the Isrealis and the Japanese. Why should racism and xenophobia be OK because it's happening in Japan or Israel?
Identifying the right characteristics in data, and creating properly tagged corpuses of data that correspond with the right characteristics is no less work than writing code.

Not to mention manually written algorithms are, in many cases, more accurate than ML heuristics (for a terrible yet relevant example in the finance industry, identifying the correct sum of a set of numbers).
Many did, yes. I personally know a couple people who had their mortgages recalculated to be more in line with the corrected values. It was all over the news at the time.

But by that point more people stopped paying completely and got foreclosed, or declared bankruptcy.

My point is that it’s logically inconsistent to say on one hand, the banks are to blame, it was all fraud, it was a fraudulent bubble caused by greedy banks, etc — and on the other hand say, look at all this wealth that was destroyed, because the wealth itself was caused by the bubble.

To clarify, I’m talking about “wealth” that is equity caused by home value appreciation, not caused by paying a lot into the mortgage. Remember that most of the distressed assets were subprime (0-down, no doc, etc) loans — the sales pitch at the time was, put nothing down, and in a year your homes appreciation will make it like you put 20% down. The gains that analyses like the link above count as “wealth” were all smoke an mirrors.

I remember growing up old (I think it was) either Car and Driver or Road and Track letters to the editor where they would publish wacky hate letters and then reply in a funny way to the absurdity of the position or thought. So they actually spun that into something of value.

This is also true with respect to people who have fanboys. For example PG has fanboys and if you say something negative or that appears to be not respectful of PG (or for that matter certain YC companies) you need to package it correctly to appear to be respectful. This is similar to when people IRL will say 'with all due respect' prior to giving some criticism. In 'mafia' movies this was done with 'not to appear subversive but' (negative comment about the boss of the family).

An interesting hack is to use a count-based bloom filter, maybe 8-bits per count instead of 1-bit.

As long as the "count" doesn't overflow to the max size (in this case: 255), you can always "remove" items from a Counting Bloom Filter. In effect, a traditional 1-bit bloom filter is simply a counting-bloom filter that "overflows" on the first hit.

If people really need deletion on their bloom filter, do realize it is possible! (as long as you select a proper bit-size).
Man look at that little critter fly!! I think the principles for using an AM radio are sound. I found two radios, and used them, but I couldn't quite make sense of what I was hearing. Perhaps there was a ton of localized interference. I stepped up my approach by purchasing an underground wire locator from Amazon. This gizmo sends an amplified steady signal down the perimeter wire and a separate portable device listens for the signal as I walk along the perimeter. This didn't work as easily as I'd hoped. My guess is that due to the existence of one very large perimeter wire and three intersecting shortcut-to-home wires, there's some interference/signal degradation that complicates finding the break, especially since there's normally multiple breaks due to the relatively large population of squirrels. There's got to be an easier way to find a break! I think the conclusion here is that I should just keep a bunch of loaded bird feeders to occupy their time!
My opinion is that sadly in 2020, most local governments will make it very difficult for you to comply with the building rules if your goal is a house that is anything different from what a "normal" house is.

Like the other commenter suggested, try with a shed, or even better, try making a tabletop model of your cabin with all the measurements and cutting scaled down from your ultimate goal.

If you do find a place to build, then great! But most likely it would be occuring in an area so far outside of town that it would be a very different life from suburb living.

Though I do know of a few people who made a house within a house....
As a data scientist, I agree with this. On my team, the data scientists with the largest impact seem to be the ones who are sort of hybrid software engineers / data scientists. I’ve noticed these people tend to swap between the two titles occasionally (re-interviewing within the company for one role or the other).

I think if I had my own company I’d create a position like “scientific software engineer”, which would basically be a SWE with a scientific or statistical background. It would de-emphasize pure analysis in favor of directly applied research in the form of production code. There are some similar titles out there (research scientist, ML engineer), but they don’t quite capture exactly what I have in mind. “Applied scientist” would probably be the closest.

You may find squat toilets along the autoroute in resting areas without restaurants and gas station, and maybe at some campings, but I've never seen any in a bar or restaurant, let alone a hotel.
I like reading ignorant things like this because it helps show why we really need more classical education in society. If you'd actually read some Plato, as opposed to summaries, I'd be shocked if you could keep the same belief. It's just so damn good for thinking with.

But prior to Plato, the Pythagorean Philolaus wrote that sensation/experience comes from the interaction between the soul (greek: psyche) and the body. Soul, here, is not the experiencing thing but the immaterial forms. (Summary: an example of an immaterial form is the concept of a triangle — a real and meaningful form but separate from any material instance). This Pythagorean view of the soul is compelling and has similarities with the idea of computational logic being fundamentally separable from the media of computation. The same logic can run on silicon or some water pump computer.

So, from this, if mind is what we'd call the experience, then it isn't just the body. It is the material body interacting with the soul (the "computational" forms).
I like how people can arrive at so similar ideas :)
I agree with you. Here's a recent well run study, in a respected journal, paid for by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

> Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for global disease burden and causes substantial health loss. We found that the risk of all-cause mortality, and of cancers specifically, rises with increasing levels of consumption, and the level of consumption that minimises health loss is zero. These results suggest that alcohol control policies might need to be revised worldwide, refocusing on efforts to lower overall population-level consumption.

Because the only two characteristics Parisian people have are size and race?

The very Wikipedia article we happen to be discussing contains "...Renoux indicates that Japanese media, magazines in particular, often depict Paris as a place where most people on the street look like "stick-thin" models and most women dress in high fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton...".
Ghostcrawler (former Blizzard developer, currently at Riot Games) had a nice quote about this one:

"Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom."

I believe it is related to de-personification on the Internet (or otherwise written content). In a smaller community, such would not happen.

I also wonder what would happen to the amount of haters if there were no fanboys at all. In a way, they balance each other out.

As for why famous people? Famous means influence. Whenever a non-famous people gets criticized it won't be read much. Doesn't mean it does not happen.
Subsidizing a small portion of the user base in the name of fairness is certainly sustainable, as it already was before. I get you don't like making a few less dollars in the day but society works better when we help each other out a bit and I don't think people should suddenly start having to pay an extra transportation tax for the zip code they live in.
>As Google has moved to expand its data collection, some potential partners have been put off by what they viewed as the company’s aggressive maneuvers to acquire data without providing enough information on how it would be used.

>Google pushed one medical-data manager not to share data with other companies, according to a person familiar with the pitch.

>As part of its huge offer for Cerner, whose software is embedded in doctors’ offices in 30 countries, Google used its size to its advantage. Google Cloud executives offered that other arms of the conglomerate would buy unspecified other services from Cerner, people familiar with the matter say.

>Cerner ultimately accepted a less generous offer from Amazon, in part because the company decided Amazon was more trustworthy on security, according to one of these people.

>Existing players in the health-care data market also fear that the tech giant will gain too much power in their industry. Some hospital and technology executives say they declined deals with Google lest it become a future competitor.

>“We could never pin down Google on what their true business model was,” says a Cerner executive involved in the discussions.

It seems like Google is using GCP as a venus fly trap and Cerner was right to avoid them. The lure is cheap bog standard cloud services, but only if you have a more all-encompassing partnership where your data helps them develop other Google products.

>Reiterating what Google has told lawmakers and industry executives in private meetings over the past two months, Dr. Feinberg says he operates on a personal directive from Mr. Schmidt: “Don’t worry about making money.”

This quote is extremely telling in my opinion, and it's just classic Google. The most generous interpretation of this is that Google has altruistic motivations to make advances in health and they shouldn't worry about how to monetize whatever they build. That of course is completely absurd and extremely dangerous because that is exactly how Google slides into evil (evil is banal). The less generous interpretation is that Dr. Feinberg is only there to provide a sheen of health industry credibility (key opinion leader) and he has no actual ownership of Google's health business at all.

And judging by this paragraph, I'm leaning to the latter:

>Outcry over the Ascension deal, including a federal inquiry and objections from patients, shocked executives inside Google, and opened fissures in its top ranks over how to proceed, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. The head of Google Health, Dr. Feinberg, pushed to tell the public more about his division’s operations, but met resistance from longtime staffers who cite the company’s tradition of keeping potential new products under wraps.

Git is great (I love it) but Google anyway uses a fairly modded form of Perforce and the data model etc. is much simpler. Especially with use of IDEs it makes it so that you don't have to keep thinking about your VCS, unlike git, where GUIs come in the way.
I think there are a few possibilities, some of which are on your list, some of which aren't.

Firstly, there's definitely a point in which you attract fanboys but not haters, and if your popularity/fame is in a smaller niche, you may never end attracting the latter at all. Generally, someone tends to get haters when they go 'mainstream', and their work is shown to people that don't like it/can't see why it's popular or successful.

Number 2 on the list probably has some relevance too. For both fanboys and haters, since it's entirely likely every creator has both people who'd love them/their work if they found it and those that'd hate it, and also likely that not everyone in those camps has come across it yet.

In addition to that though, I think there are two more factors that play into how much of a hatedom you have, and I guess also how many fans you have too.

1. How you deal with attacks or criticism. If you ignore the trolls and haters and respond in a civil way to critics, you'll get a lot fewer haters than if you lash out at people. A lot of the folks with more... dedicated critics fall into the latter group. See Chris Chan, Darksyde Phil, Derek Savage, that guy who makes Yandere Simulator, etc.

2. The topic of your success/supposed expertise. If your work is seen as political, it will get a more backlash than if it's about some hobby/interest than most people are neutral about. For instance, I've recently posted two things that got popular; some videos about glitches in a certain video game, and an article calling out web developers/software engineers for using frameworks in situations where they didn't need to.

The former got mostly praise and questions, the latter has brought about a ton of personal attacks and criticism.

Someone who writes a successful article about why Donald Trump got elected/is popular is going to get a lot more hate than someone who writes about quantum mechanics.

I'd say it's a mix of those factors myself.
> the US alone buying up 49,000 tonnes of paracetamol every year – equivalent to about 298 paracetamol tablets per person

Ha, sorry!

I meant to say "atomically commit", but my brain mixed it with mono-repo, to come up with monotonically, which is a math word w/ no relevance to branching (afaik!)

For branching, I just meant there's no easy way to branch everything at once. If you want to have "weirdExperiment" branch that affects code in 4 repos, you have to go branch 4 different times. For committing, same deal. You can't easily tag a single snapshot of the state of all projects. Etc.

QR in China are different animals.

They are not generic QR codes, but encoded instructions to access specific in-app features in WeChat/AliPay. If you scan those special codes with generic QR readers, you get invalid URLs.

IMO this makes it even worse to use generic QR codes, because if a QR code cannot be parsed by WeChat/AliPay, most Chinese users do not know what to do with it.
