Annexed? In 2020, there is no need to annex a country to get everything you want from them - on the contrary, it's an administrative nightmare to annex a country when you can stick your military bases there, export your goods there, and make their economy dependent on your country's and your money without it.
Option 3 meaning all countries should be able to project nuclear power on all other countries as part of the definition of sovereignty?

It’s kind of a cool thought. The current nation state map seems arbitrary for such gravitas.
So, I'm going to create "MenMake" and promote it like this (original below):

"A few examples of what it means: answering questions, listening, offering your help and advice. Women are allowed to ask questions as long as they are contributing to the community. That being said, Men Make is here to promote men, and on a moderation level, I will always make sure men are being put at the forefront."
Probably the bravest man, for the longest time, I have ever read about of any period in history. If ever a life deserved a major movie...

He did so much for Poland, yet was ultimately shot in the back of the head by a communist Pole, after the show trial in 1948, and after months of torture. He'd been trying to gather information of Soviet bloc atrocities.

I have a different take on VC and what it means. It's one of the reasons I'm where I'm at in my career. VC-backed companies are worse for employee and the technology community, because they'll optimize the use of open-source software but not the giving back. So your career in a VC backed company (at least in Ops) is mostly cobbling together multiple disparate open source projects into something that "works", but you're restricted from sharing your work publicly to give back to the community.

Contrasting that with large public companies or small bootstrapped companies, both have been much more willing to allow me to open-source my work or contribute to existing projects in a public way. I'm very happy to work for a bootstrapped small company that only produces 100% pure open-source software these days. Something which was always out of reach when I was bouncing between VC-backed startups.

If you was mistaken for someone else that doesn’t automagically free you from crimes or connections you have yourself, apart from that person. The story doesn’t tell us how he got caught. Was he kidnapped at night from his family or busted at a secret meeting after a two-month intelligence operation - this can make a big difference.

yeah I was going to ask, what's the deal with all those wasted bits?

I'm not a floating-point fan (I do all computations in integer wherever possible/feasible), but I've been following the universal number story since it was announced because it seems less painful/gross than IEEE floating-point on many fronts, here's a github with a good about page about it: https://github.com/stillwater-sc/universal
1. Most people will never install it.

I'm sure that these deals are complicated at the size they're going at and maybe laymens pricing models just get tossed aside, but one of the biggest things I spend time on in cloud architecting is all around data ingress/egress in order to control costs. I simply don't understand how it's possible to go multi-cloud and control those costs, I feel like you'd either blow costs out not caring, or blow costs out throwing engineers at very complex solutions.
From anecdotal testing, using the 774M/1.5B GPT-2 models for anything less than hundreds of megabytes of input data will result in worse generation quality than using the smaller 124M/355M models.

The addiction to the larger GPT-2 models is IMO a trap.

Did Mint stay with Intuit when they spun Quicken out? I was assuming it went with Quicken and it seems like they are focusing on Quicken Online and Standalone. I'm not super thrilled with either at the moment.
I really don't understand why people are so hung up on the dichotomy of STEM versus the liberal arts education.STEM is an orphan without philosophy and history, and really ugly without the arts.

Growing up, kids need to be exposed to a variety of fields so that they art grounded/aware of the basics and can pick up further study when needed.

Yes maths and science are important, but so is philosophy, economics, history, arts, sports. They all help you understand the world around you. They help you understand yourself. Like Heinlein said, specialization is for insects. And school is really not the time to do that.

What is wrong is the way they are taught in almost every school. Kids are born curious and parents/schools have become very good at sucking that curiosity out of them to "make them a better citizen/workforce".

That's a climate prediction with future predictions on what they expect to happen to civilization. But since it's not 2025, we can't say whether economic growth will halt. 2067 is the predicted doomsday year.

Of course if we overlay that with Kurzweil's singularity in 2045, then all bets are off. To the extent we take such predictions seriously.
I'm always amused when people propose what the problem is and a fix for it, and then they immediately think "congress" should do something about it. Democracy happens at the state and city level. The federal government is mostly ineffectual and not really the right place to do most things. If you beleive in rank choice voting get your city to do it, then your county, then you state. The federal government doesn't run elections.
> That’s just not enough for disabling it on Android.

Citation needed.

> I am working with androids even before 1.0, but does this really matter?

It matters if I am claiming that there is no point at which GGP's statement was true, which I am. If I am not, GGP could say that the version of Android he used "last time [he] used Android" did not allow him to disable location collection and that it predates my experience with Android's location settings.
I've never fully understood this whole doomsday clock thing. We live in the most peaceful time in human history and WMDs have significantly contributed to that peace in the post-WW2 era. Yeah we still have civil wars, internal conflicts and minor state disputes, but overall, were progressing towards a more unified globalized society.
It would be cool if this was how SpaceX decommissioned Falcon 9 boosters from now on. Testing different failure modes and making crew flight safer. Random tests of stuff like engines exploding and maybe an induced COPV failure mid flight. Especially since they don't plan on re-using Crew Dragon Capsules.

Then again I don't blame them for not wanting to spend the $50-100M each on additional tests. But if I were NASA I would commission them since they are so cheap.
Yes, I've noticed this too: whenever the party I favor is in office, the office is a lame duck, unable to lift a finger without Congressional approval. Whenever the enemy party is in office, they're absolute tyrants answerable to no-one. This sure is convenient, as it saves me from all kinds of cognitive dissonance!
Woman sues Lyft and the driver she says raped her in St. Louis
It looks like he was an accomplice to the person they originally mistook him for. Not just a random taxi driver / guy in the street. They mistook him because of where he was and what he was doing, presumably running a safe house and being (taxi?) driver to senior operatives. Not mistaken because of looks, and maybe not as innocent as he makes it sound in the article.

He's not the bad guy they originally thought he was, but still a bad guy, or at least was working for the bad guy.

Not advocating for torture, and not necessarily saying it's true, just presenting the other side.

I've thought about this as well. On the one hand, you have a system that assumes one size fits all for two specific parties. That will never be the case. I can guarantee you there's people who will disagree with both parties on any number of things.

On the other hand, if both parties stopped behaving like the other is an enema of the state and actually attempted to collaborate for the good of the American public, that would be great.

I think allowing other parties would be useful, the problem is even though other parties totally can be voted in, most people don't bother because you could lose your vote altogether if the party you disagree the most with wins. To put the example more bluntly I heard it said that Obama said a vote that isn't for Hillary is a vote to Trump, as in, if you vote third party, you may regret it.

Personally, I don't think two single political parties can represent all the hopes and dreams of all 300 million citizens. I know this may sound controversial to some, but it is starting to prove itself to be a problem.
There's a lot of nuance in diagnostics, and information can be scattered about, especially with relatively rare disorders.
I recommend “Procrastination” by Burka & Yuen.

For the kind of person who frequents this site and endures suffering due to procrastination, even seeing their clinical definition of maladaptive perfectionism (and learning why procrastinating provides relief from it) could reduce your level of anxiety and self-flagellation, if not help you change your behavior.

The first section of their book provides a framework for understanding what is happening when you procrastinate, then orients your investigation into the underlying causes specific to you (or those not applicable to you). The book's second section offers self-directed cognitive behavioral therapies.

"Procrastination" is based on decades of the authors’ clinical experience. The 25th anniversary edition pulls in updated academic research from as far afield as behavioral economics (future discounting) that didn't exist when the book was first published.

I want to point out that voting in Washington state is incredibly easy. They mail you a ballot, and a packet with detailed information on every single candidate and issue, and then you can drop your ballot just about anywhere - supermarket, mailbox, probably the street (who knows). It's probably the best voting system, hands down.

I'll give you an example that I personally deal with. I have a Tesla Model S and I use the /r/teslamotors subreddit daily. Ever since the Model 3 came out, a HUGE majority of users are Model 3 owners and they drown out any specific discussion on the Model S or X. Any time I ask a question on the daily thread, I get answers from people who don't really know what they're talking about in regards to specifics of my car. I can't easily ask if anyone's had this issue with their S like mine because 1 out of every 100 user owns an S and all the Model 3 discussion drowns us out.

Having a community specifically targeting a small sect of people can be a great thing. They feel like they'll get answers from people just like them.

Appropriately, one of the symptoms of this problem is that it's impossible to complement/criticise one party without being interrupted by opposite-party whataboutism. Perhaps ironically, I can't tell if you think this is a criticism of Democrats, and hey, why didn't they criticise Republicans; or if you think this is a lenient analysis of Democrats, and hey, why didn't they give Republicans a lenient analysis.

It was built to solidify US naval power projection into the Caribbean and Gulf back in 1898. The detention camp was placed there in 2002 partially to avoid the legal concerns and partially out of convenience (there's only a handful of places outside the US mainland they could have placed it, and Cuba is the only one where they don't care what the host nation says).

Obama's efforts to close it, which did come up in debates (and came back in 2016) were basically rebuffed by Congress. Not because they want to keep Gitmo open, but because nobody wants the prisoners moved into their constituency's backyard.

I used to drive over it occasionally. It was always decorated with broken glass from a collision.

It's true it has a good safety record if you consider fatalities/injuries. But that's because it's impossible to cross it at speed unless it's completely empty.

I suspect its record for minor collision damage is less reassuring.

The fundamental problem is situational awareness. On a normal roundabout you only have to look in one direction. On the magic roundabout you have to be aware of traffic from the left, right, and front - and if you're not a regular user, you have to do this while trying to navigate the design.
Unlikely. You should see the items google thinks are relvant for you but 10% more expensive as you belong to a user group which spends money on items with little comparable advantage above others except being more expensive for the purpose to differentiate from others.

It's wishful thinking that the lab science credit requirements somehow teaches rigor and critical thinking skills through osmosis. It doesn't, people learn how to write a lab report and continue being the same dummies that walked into the room.

It's similar to wishful thinking to believe vague "humanities education" would impart any ethics.

And at least in the science labs you don't have to figure out whether or not your grade depends on how well your reports parrot the teacher's own options back at them.
Ask HN: How do you convince interviewers?

Voter intimidation at a local or institutional level is absolutely massive but giving people the _choice_ of voting in various ways hopefully negates the bad. I'd love to understand the data and anecdotal stories on this as well if any is available. I suspect that those in such abusive situations don't even get to vote whatsoever because they're physically captive / bound, but that is 100% conjecture on my part. Nobody advocating for this voting technology wants to encourage any form of intimidation and distortion of individuals' wills like you've described.

It's definitely not the case for me. I have models trained on the same dataset which is 14mb (though I needed to tweak more for the 1.5b).

1.5b outperforms it here if trained long enough - in this case 1-2 months as I was doing it all for free on Colab.

One of the big things was batching - it seems like nobody really tries todo larger batches the biggest models, and without batching but while having little data the model was getting stuck.

I don't like it. From the bottom, if you want to go straight you enter on the right lane. From the right, if you want to go straight you enter on the left lane. This lack of symmetry means you need to be very familiar with the path in advance, and not get confused about which orientation you're in. For the signage to be far enough from the roundabout to get your bearings in time, it will be too far for most people to even be looking for it. This design will add to the late merge asshole problem.

Your objections are based on spending a few minutes looking at guides intended for the general public. May I suggest spending some time with the professional literature? These issues are canvassed by researchers and practitioners in enormous depth.

But if you'd like to know the broad conclusion so far from decades of research with multiple lines of evidence: ADHD exists.
I don't think it's possible to procrastinate using mindfulness meditation. If you're trying to avoid something, what you're really trying to avoid are the associated emotions. Mindfulness meditation does literally the opposite.

I find that by letting the emotions I'd like to avoid come to my consciousness -- i.e. meditating -- I get used to them. That frequently outright removes my procrastinating problem.

> that I would procrastinate doing and contribute to my anxiety.

You don't have to schedule meditation. Just do it when you feel like it, expand your brief pauses. And if you don't feel like meditating for weeks or months, so be it.

I'd have to see a study or simulation. I can't take it on faith, because what I see is very many points where cars have to stop and yield.

And where you have multiple routes to one junction, you have merging.

I dont think the increase in speed is a result of you getting responses to DNS queries any faster, it's simply that if you only need to load the content you want and none of the content you dont (ads and whatnot), then the stuff you do want to see has that much more bandwidth available.
Sure, there can be a middle ground in spending. But that doesn't change the GP's point: whether it's a massive military or a modest one, the purpose of a military lies in its potential to injure & kill people. As such, so long as you agree that some level of military is needed, you've already crossed the "no killing" line.
Washington already has voting by mail, and the solution to this problem there is that you can vote by mail but also travel to a poll station on election day and that vote overrides your mail ballot. I assume the same would be true here.
One would have to believe that will come with frightening complications, side effects, and potential for all sorts of debilitation. Most people though, especially younger, do naively believe they are going to be the one egg in the dozen that doesn't break.

At the same time all these mods are likely going to be commercialized but out of reach for most classes, so the whole thing will become similar to the pitch that "money for college" was back in the day. I suppose the government would also restrict the sale of certain classes of mods making it potentially more lucrative to enlist.
