In terms of Avicenna's mentioned contingency argument for proof God, one way I think of it is a football analogy. You can’t have a series of backward passes into infinite, which is impossible. There has to be a first cause that doesn’t have a cause.

Also good is one of Avicenna’s biggest critics, Al-Ghazali. His view on occasionalism makes it easy to believe in miracles and is sunni orthodoxy in creed. Basically if you believe that God is the creator of causes, effects, and their relationship which is being upheld in every instance, then a suspense of such a relationship is possible. Al-Ghazali, unlike Avicenna, is also considered a heavy weight in sufism. For example, one critique I heard a while back from Neil deGrasse Tyson on Al-Ghazali was that his writings is basically what caused the end of the Islamic Golden age, because the focus became on more on spirituality than intellectual pursuits afterwards. There could be some truth in that. I got my first B in university when I started reading Rumi. This was probably just laziness and not some spiritual opening.

Also popular is Fakhr al-Din al-Razi. He said something a long the lines that if you hid behind a wall and threw a pebble in front of a baby, even a baby will turn around and see where the pebble came from. There’s a popular story that he was walking on the streets with a large entourage and some old lady asked “who is that guy?” and someone responded “Don’t you know! This is Fakhr al-Din al-Razi! He has 70 proofs of God’s existence!” To which the old lady laughed and responded “If he did not have seventy doubts for the existence of God he would not need seventy proofs!” Upon hearing this al-Razi said everyone should be like the old lady.

If you’re interested in islamic theology, Dr. Umar Faruq And-Allah is good. You can find lecture series for his courses on YouTube. This is also a good series by him (http://qadriyya.org/lessons/aqeedah/dr-umar-faruq-abd-allah-...). It’s a bit advanced as he’s giving the class to a muslim audience. Also good is TJ Winters/Abdal Hakim Murad at Cambridge. I found them both to be honest to the tradition and intellectually honest. For Quran translations, I was told Abdel-Haleem’s is the clearest.

Cloudflare will see All The Things™ as TLS termination at Cloudflare is required for Cloudflare to be able to analyze web traffic and block common attacks. Just based on that one sentence, it seems like a value play more than anything.

That they care enough for the defense-in-depth is probably a good sign, but that also shows a bias in favor of security over privacy. Depending on your personal or corporate privacy preferences/politics, that may or may not be desirable, but it's also for you to decide if any resulting risks are acceptable.

My hope is that Gitlab pressed Cloudflare on the process changes that took place after the WAF outage last year.

Is it possible to run queries on the programs in effort to reconstuct the config or would that also be too dangerous?
Is this for real? They are basically getting orgasms just because someone drills a tunnel, which is indeed revolutionary for public transportation... And it transports a whopping 4500 people per hour, will you think of that! That is almost as much as a normal, 100 year old subway train can do in a few minutes.
I had the same methods. Ironically I’ve learned more about the English language in attempting to learn (or re-learn) other languages (Spanish, German, French, Latin). So idk, I inclined to buy the argument that teaching the parts of all the systems is a better start than teaching one system at a time, and doing it through brute force memorization.
Talent may cost money, and there are a few highly sought after precious examples of those people, but the world is swarming with parasites with absolutely no talent but lots of social standing they want to maintain by being seen as acting charitably (like Trump's failsons), desperately competing with each other to con you out of your money, and that's what you usually end up with.

Kind of. However, I think the mentioned problems about SAAS are valid.
This really feels like an article that is trying to say something important about a bigger issue. But the examples and the overall tone really diminish it. They allude a lot to things more important than them like Goodhart's law, mainly for cache, while they talk about their own poor quality idea(a bizarre imagined scenario far removed from, at least my, regular concerns). In the case of an AI show a concrete example involving a robot vacuum. Otherwise it feels like one of my junior's blowing smoke up my ass about hardware threads.

DARPA explores the art of the possible.

DIU is more like YC with deeper pockets. Replace Paul Graham with Ash Carter. They have government customers with requirements and their job is to find companies who are capable of building them. They are more interested in the people than the product. They don't care about the prototype MMPRG that pits cats vs dogs on your cell phone, they care about the distributed systems engineers who built it. So DIU is staffed by scientists, engineers and military operators who have proven their ability to execute at an exquisitely high level.

Ash Carter was Obama's last SECDEF. He got a Rhodes scholarship and instead of going to Oxford to get a master's, he went to Oxford and got a PhD in theoretical physics (in 3 years). He was instrumental in the MX missile basing decision, the Nunn-Luger denuclearization deal, correcting the mistakes that bogged down the F35 deal, and much of the weapons developments, nuclear and conventional, in the DoD for the last 40 years. On his way out the door he created the Defense Innovation Board, which led to the development of the JAIC and continues to guide both DIU and the JAIC.

I feel like they attack from the wrong angle. Consider BareMetrics an SAAS. They aren't really just a CRUD, but are lumped in with CRM's. The easiest CRM is a spreadsheet and a mailer like SendMail.

I think his point is that false newspaper reports are not new, educated people generally wait for credible sources, and it is not a massive problem compared to the increasing trend of what should be credible sources self censoring for political reasons.
lgl is a web dev.

Are you a physicist? If so, why not post a link to your profile? Why the need for your made up dialogue instead of a substantive rebuttal containing information about your allegedly detailed knowledge of the inner workings of a proton?

BTW, you've misrepresented my position in 2/3 of your little sonnet. I said "light evidence, not no evidence" and I do care. The only substantive rebuttal I've received is from computerex and I responded to that.
I wish this were the sole cause.
Thanks! I originally wanted to make a VR dog simulator for headsets like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, and we later pivoted to AR due to the market size being relatively way bigger. The reason for this idea was I always wanted a dog growing up, so I tried to make one. Ironically, my parents just got a real puppy as I finished Rovr. After meeting my family's new dog, I could never see a virtual pet totally replacing an existing regular pet, and I think people will still want pets, but Rovr is an experiment in seeing how emotionally fulfilling a relationship with an artificially 3D character can feel. At a minimum, I hope it can bring joy to those who cannot own a pet due to various constraints (financial, health, landlord won't allow pets, etc.)

Sorry, to be clear, planes are not level 5. But to also be clear, there are different levels of autonomy. I'm not trying to suggest they are level 5 though.
I don’t understand your point. 39% of the country would have to borrow to cover a $400 surprise medical expense. Not many have $1MM in savings to “aggressively invest” (what does that even mean? Risky investments? Which means sometimes the luck will run out?). I also don’t know many ordinary managers with $5-10MM in savings. That’s quite some income, and those people must not be married with kids.

Regardless, none of this negates that they can still feel valid pressures no matter what their success is. Typically having such success invites even more pressure as one is expected to keep it up, either by others or themselves. Few make it to such largess without overworking themselves.

Island captures could have been easy and with little loss of life just by blockading the islands until the defenders were starved out. But the admirals thought that wasn't glorious enough, and having lots of marines die made good drama, so we had mass landings and horrendous casualties.

Precisely the opposite. There are so many possible world that match all the criteria (that we know of) for life just within our galaxy, that we should detect some of them.
Our solar system is pretty young compared to the age of the galaxy (4B years old vs 13B years old). Imagine a civilization identical to ours, but that would have appeared a mere 1 billion years before us, not only radio signals should be detectable (because the galaxy is just 100k light years across), but a civilization similar to ours, with 1B more year to develop technologically should have easily been able to send probes, at the very least, all over the galaxy (see von neuman probes) so we should also see that, and yet we don't.

And this just assuming a single civilization, while as you said: there could be more worlds with life similar to ours that there are grains of sand on Earth. So where is everyone?
That, and also m=meter, mi=mile.
This is some article from a site for PIRG's. I am guessing from clicking around that is Public Interest Resource Groups? Either way most grad students want their work read and used. Most grad students want to be able to read and cite other works in theirs. Sci-hub at whatever address does more for students than any other source so far.

There are lots of university lectures, worked example problems, videos of people demonstrating and teaching every type of manual skill, .... on youtube

> those videos are not educational

This kind of thing is absolutely “educational” under any reasonable definition of the word https://youtu.be/0KjG8Pg6LGk https://youtu.be/8KmVDxkia_w https://youtu.be/Ku8BOBwD4hc https://youtu.be/k8Rxep2Mkp8 https://youtu.be/1VPfZ_XzisU https://youtu.be/IcrBqCFLHIY

Of course it’s not (and not supposed to be) a substitute for students working problems for themselves, running experiments, conducting interviews, doing research in the stacks, writing papers, writing code, putting each-others’ art through critique, or the like.

Nobody “comes away from a Mathologer video thinking they «know math»” (whatever that is supposed to mean).
Works fine for me. Also if you look at the GV Android app it has gotten a lot of recent updates compared to Hangouts, including Dark Mode. Additionally they have added the option to text from it which has newer features than Hangouts.
There are REITs that generate 12% dividends you can easily buy, which would be $120K before tax. 3-4% is extremely conservative and you could certainly withdraw more.

It’s also less about “never making another dime working” and more that you don’t need a traditional 9-5. You can and should figure out other sources of income.
This research direction reminds me of "Resource Description Framework" and Baloo and others.

Thanks for the shoutout! :) - mike
> embarrassingly bare-bones

How do you draw the line with this? Embarrassing that nobody can use it yet but at least there's momentum? Or embarrassing that it consolidated 3 things but everything else is still done by hand (Excel)?

For e-commerce, the needs seem to grow exponentially for the following questions:

1. What are my gross sales?

2. What are my refunds?

3. What are my net sales?

4. What are my product margins including landed & fixed cost?

This seems to be the barebones to be useful, or to convince people to go through all the trouble to even get started.

In between all of that you discover the real work. Some of your orders are gratis (PR marketing), so they need to post to a different subledger. Some orders use gift cards, and now you've opened the can of worms around deferred revenue. Some of those gift cards weren't backed by cash transactions, but marketing used the system that way to apply discounts.

You start doing backorders. Revenue can't be recognized until a product is delivered, but you only know when it was placed or shipped. You use three different shipping providers. One is a same-day provider that emails invoices.

Oh yeah, you also do "Try Before You Buy" and have inventory in customers hands before you've charged a payment provider (only auth'd). Now you've got an accounting scenario that requires a consultant.

Inventory becomes important. Suddenly you go from simple beginning/end of period (week/month) balances to purchase orders, receipt of goods, and 3PL/EDI integrations. Invoices are in EUR and entered that way, so now forex is needed.

Millions of dollars of inventory can be on the move from factory to warehouse, so now you need to account for that. Logistics team (if you have one) needs to do data entry when things ex-factory.

And of course to even get to complain about that you first need to convince someone to enter purchase orders and invoices in at a SKU level, and train them how to lookup HS codes for tariffs. Enter landed cost and another can of worms.

It feels like Alice in Wonderland, and things just get more batshit crazy complex the further you go. And of course
Pretty sure that's a joke, unless rocket engines are suddenly useful for tunnel boring...

To play devils advocate here, I have always been a terrible speller and it doesn't affect me because all surfaces I use have spell check. Occassionally I will butcher something so bad I confuse the spell checker and Google it, but those are so few and far between I don't feel like I missed out memorizing list after list of arbitrary word roots and remembering if this is loaned from greek, a romance language like french, or old german.
I think legislation is needed for 100% of "gig economy" platforms to in real-time state to the customer exactly how much the service provider is getting paid: how much if my Lyft driver getting - and what cut is Lyft taking, etc.
90% or more of the changes are in Disk Control. So if you use RetroArch with physical disks you would want to update.
But they have actually replaced many of the popular services with a crud and also mention that MailGun / Stripe are irreplaceable.
The only sage for the next 10,000 years is AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada. The exposition of the cause of all causes has already been explained as the Supreme Person Krsna in Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

The discovery and confirmation of relativistic physics has resulted in more efficient materials research and led to space technology (communications) and microprocessor improvements here on earth.
No fucking mathematical model could be regarded as an "evidence".

This is just bullshitting and abuse of terminology.
As a result of the complexity and requirements, we realized we would like to have a solution for CDN, WAF, and DDOS protection with one vendor.

Depending on your definition of ddos protection Fastly has those things along with granular and semi scriptable configurability via vcl. Granted it’s been 2-3 years since I last did a comparison between Fastly and Cloudflare but I can’t understand why a company with presumably a need for configurability at the edge would make this choice. Cloudflare’s entry tiers are unbeatable in price but beyond that it’s extremely bulky.
I am curious about how they selected workers to sample. If the advertisement was, "Pissed about your DoorDash wages? Share them with us!" or anything similar, I'm not sure what conclusions can be drawn from the analysis.
Assuming your comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but yes.

If you level-set your expectations you can live a very laid back life.

Particularly in the software industry where you can get paid twice as much for working half as hard compared to most other fields.
Well yes, but the majority of it is captured by the middle class, in the form of public pensions, 401k's, the stock market etc.
Astrology can be useful to a scientist. Not as a source of truth, but as a convenient tool for introspection.

If your sign says you're hotheaded, for instance, it doesn't actually tell you anything about yourself. But you can take it as a thought starter that helps you reflect on your temper or lack thereof, and how that relates to the people around you.
Do you not see how you're arguing in favor of his/her point?
Inflation does not represent an increase in value. Otherwise Zimbabwe would have turned into the world’s richest country.

Further there is a weak link between resource extraction an long term economic growth. It requires a huge investment in resources and education that becomes worthless after the resource runs out. Just look at West Virginia to see the long term boons from coal mining.
English is not my native language, but the medium of education in my school was English.

My grandmother used to make me read three articles from the newspaper. One from the front page, one from the weather pages and one from the sports pages. Puzzles on weekends and it was our job to scan and read out obituaries everyday.

She was born in 1921 and never went to school after 8th grade. She learnt how to spell and write in English because she figured newspaper articles were already spell checked and edited for correct grammar etc. I had to chuckle as I imagined re what she would have said if she were alive in our buzzfeed and dailymail times.
That's what I meant. Specific products were using a harmful substance, rather than the act of vaping causing illness.
I mean you’re proving my point exactly. People who have the savings to not work convince themselves that their identity is their job and do it to “keep up.” My point is that is all in your head, and if you’re going around complaining about how busy you are you then you’re doing it voluntarily and not because you will literally be homeless if you stop.

$1M in a high quality REIT can generate 12% dividends, which is $120K. A single person could easily live off half that.
I agree with all but the last sentence.
The Internet is not always correlated with a happier life and the Internet isn’t sure to educate the ignorant.
Yes but they quickly run the risk of ruining the in-person customer’s experience. In NYC the use of ghost kitchens[1] is booming. There are 2 within a block of my office - one is a multi-tenant space that serves several restaurants and the other is a pickup-only storefront for a salad chain. These outposts increase capacity but also require way less staff to manage and fewer skills to train.

It makes sense but it’s also sad to see that the best use of valuable retail-level real estate is restaurants designed for no one to go to.

That's basically real-time.
A reasonable baseline, but it is also a pretty low bar. It basically excludes intentionally fraudulent communications but not much else.

A much more difficult problem is to discern who's beliefs are closest to the ground truth. One approach to this is to notice who is able to most accurately predict future events or actions. I would argue that being able to make successful predictions is highly correlated with perception of ground truths.
The sugary drinks making kids hyperactive thing is a myth, and it is largely caused by parental perception, excitement from getting a treat, and the environment kids tend to be in when they are given a lot of sugar (parties, etc.)

Abuse of terminology. Observed social behavior as a result of evolved instincts of unconscious individual drones does not amount for memories or anything other that instincts which contribute to social behavior.
