> …really gets in the way when trying to find a specific album or track…

When I launch Apple Music, I just tap Search and can constrain it to my library with one touch. I feel like I can get to any album in a few seconds.

What you're doing isn't wrong, of course, but it doesn't seem like the designed-for path.
This is what I have been doing for about a decade. It doesn't work as well if the water can't get below 15C.

Typically I count slowly to 60 while under the cold water, and try to focus on the count. It is easy to get lost at around 40s. Then I put the warm back on, and finish with ~20s hot/warm. I have come to think of it as a "cold water reboot" for my brain.
You mean you didn't know this would happen by adding something (script, tracker, pixel, etc.) to your site, or you don't have a root cause as to why your own site is sending data to FB?
I think your Kindle use case is single device but mine is across 4 devices so doing anything fully locally doesn’t really work. Unless each device would need to be trained.
I wish there were more part time opportunities for professionals. Yeah, I'd keep doing ML (my day job), but I wouldn't do it 8 hours a day. Unfortunately, nearly all of the ways to to do it require that it's either a fulltime job or not a job at all. If there were a way to work 4 hours a day, or 8 hours a day 9 months of the year or something, turning off my email/slack/meetings outside that window, I'd be all about that. I'd love to slowly retire, putting in less and less time every year.

But the job market doesn't seem to support that, so it's full time or no work for me (unless I put in the huge effort to build up a freelancing portfolio, which doesn't seem to be as much of a job market in ML yet?). Given the choice, I'd choose no work, and make my own work for fun.
Right! I ran in to this when I wanted our app to “portal” to the website and just move Bluetooth data along. Apple thought about this and doesn’t like it.
How does this not apply to e.g. Clearview AI, Cambridge Analytica, and other anti-privacy scraping operations?
I didn't know about either. Utterly impressed
it's in the sidebar...
Is it a specific project that you want to move away from? Or is it an ongoing responsibility that you would like to stop doing?
Those prices have nothing to do with subsidies. It is showing that the NHS pays a fraction of the US prices for the same insulins.

Diabetics are exempt from all out-of-pocket prescription charges though, so that part is subsidized.
There's a less invasive way to do that though by storing the latest location for each device. You don't need to store each and every page turn for the page sync feature.
This guy was conducting DoD funded research, and then replicating that work secretly in a lab in China.

Literally espionage.
I think they tried to formulate it so it will sound less damning for them, like they want to make it explicit that what they performed their data analysis on is your anonymized personal information.
Oh yeah, they're pretty wonderful! Luckily, there's definitely enough room in this space for more than a few competitors. Thank you :)
In that assets are only created for people to purchase with informed understanding, I don't think "they were great but nobody understood them" is a possible thing.

The clearest example here is shares in a Ponzi scheme. Those are definitely assets, and they are definitely not fine. They are made to not be understood. The same is more subtly true of the previous wave of essentially fraudulent mortgage-backed securities. But I think the same is also true of any hard-to-understand instrument engineered to look like a good deal at first glance.

You also ignore systemic risk. For many years before the 2008 collapse, cognoscenti knew that a lot of risk had gone somewhere, we just didn't know where. But we sure found out! Saying that "all assets are fine" is sort of like saying "all chemicals are fine". It's technically true, in that dioxin and DDT don't intend to be harmful. But if the evidence shows that people can't use them responsibly, then a ban in a totally reasonable outcome.
That depends on what you include in your definition of web technologies. React and Javascript at this point mostly fall under mine.
> though likely neither are as excited about those prospects as the cows

This is somewhat ironic, since cows will most likely undergo a population collapse if they are no longer being raised domestically for the meat. The remainder would probably be kept mainly for milking. Do you suppose dairy cows have a better overall quality-of-life than other cows?
Nowhere did I state that I had to use any such libraries. The only reason I started learning nom, is because I received multiple recommendations to check it out. Regardless if I use it or not, it still was a fun learning experience.
That makes sense, but mdadm also scrubs weekly on a cronjob. Is there something about ZFS that makes corruption more recoverable than mdadm's RAID?
This is only half of it. If you look at all their early employees, Robert Frey/James Patterson have profiles, they were people who knew the maths AND knew how to apply it.

If you look at AHL, they have lots of people who know the maths. They have their own institute at Oxford ffs (the number of people who don't have PHds from Oxbridge there is small), and they have crap performance, year-in, year-out.

It is a typical flaw of human nature to assume that when someone else does something extraordinary that they have some secret knowledge you don't. People on here talking about discrete topology and all kinds of craziness...read the book, one of the big early advantages that RenTech had was they sent some guy down to the Fed to transcribe by hand data that no-one else had. Another example is their stat arb strategy didn't work for years, until they worked out how to get good execution.

I am not saying that it is only this but if you read the book, there are several instances where RenTech try to apply something complex and it doesn't work...and the success they have is after doing something simple, marginally better than anyone else...again, to a certain kind of person, this simplicity is offensive but it is also why most people with technical backgrounds get destroyed by the market.

Also, one thing that is kind of unclear. Simons had almost nothing to do with the perf. By the early 90s, he wasn't personally active anymore (he was spending most of his time on venture capital). The step change was hiring Brown and Mercer (again, two guys who clearly knew the maths but had spent most of their time in industry). Ppl assume that Simons is in the boiler room doing all kinds of crazy technical stuff...he wasn't (most of the time that he ran the fund, it didn't do well at all).
hangouts is dead, so again can i run googles sms app on an iphone? further google killed xmpp support which would’ve allowed 3rd party clients to use their message services
Agree with this, and I would also add this
- I want to be in control of my data and change the setting.
- I want to be able to delete my data.

If scraping on linked-in is banned (and linked-in is enforcing it), then I do have have control of my data, since I can change the setting, and it will no longer be public (It's not perfect, since some might already scraped it, but the extend would be much smaller). Also, if I decide to delete my data, linked can do that for data it control, but not for scraped data.
Well, you could sedate both groups before the shower and dry them before waking.
IANAL but the prominent

Shouldn't these very old maps be in the public domain?
Google and silence+lack of support go together like peanut butter and jelly
You mean like the Google Analytics you have running on your website?
> Can we finally scrape and get rid of IMDB? I'd love to put all of their content on a wiki and be done with it.

Just because you can scrape the content legally does not mean you can also republish it on your own website.
This is exactly my experience too. It’s an absolute nightmare juggling three package managers at once.
These small solar arrays are connected to the grid and can't work without it. Furthermore, they actually tend to add too much load to the grid because it's not built to manage numerous random power sources dispatched across the network.

And this is not the efficient thermal solar power the article mentions, either. They're between pretty inefficient and very inefficient (depending upon roof angle and orientation), heavily subsidized and in a period of dwindling resource availability, a piss-poor allocation of money compared to unsexy things such as proper building insulation and heat pumps everywhere.

Anyone spending some time on analysing the numbers would be baffled by how poor the ROI is on renewable overall. They really can't stand on their own much.
does that talk to the raid part so it can restore the correct sector when two raid1 mirrors disagree? And it seems to come with its own journal, so stacking several journaled systems could lead to write amplification, no?
Capital intensive R&D—getting highly skilled workers into a run and having them work in making things that don’t exist and may not necessarily be possible—is a specific type of work. That type of work is similar both in pharma and Silicon Valley. If the government could do that efficiently, there would be no reason not to have a public version of a Google.

Focusing on whether we “need” a state-run version of Google misses the point. It’s not the nature of the product that matters. If the government could run Google as efficiently, and we could squeeze out the profit margin in the process, why shouldn’t the government run Google? We have Google as a private company not because we believe certain products and services should be “given” to the private sector, but because we believe certain types of work are more efficiently handled by the private sector.

NASA is not a good counterexample. NASA (and DARPA) are managerial organizations. The Apollo lander was designed and built by Rockwell and the Saturn V rocket was designed and built by Boeing.
He could have asked them to deposit it into his US bank account, it really isn't that hard to do a wire transfer. It doesn't make sense to pay $30 in fees when you are only sending $500, but for $50k its a blip.

For Chinese citizens it isn't easy, but for govt and institutions it is.
I'm so glad to know this! Thank you!
Apple, Spotify, etc. (or a third-party) need to agree on a standard format for a users music library so that we can switch between UIs more easily - separate the UI from the actual music provider, allow more niche UIs

Obviously nobody will do this because their whole game is locking people in - but nothing is stopping Apple/Spotify from exposing a dev interface to Apple Music's UI components that would allow essentially the same thing but only with Apple Music as backend provider
You'd be surprised... Both are multi-billion-dollar industries:

That's how I felt looking at C++17 deduction guides, and that's even though I've actually been using C++. If you haven't seen them yet you should check them out ;)
I'm fine with purely public research funding, but if we need extra incentives for "last mile" applied research, drug bounties are wholely better for the public and pharmaceutical industry alike.
Is there any such thing as "standardized" machine learning at this point or even in the foreseeable future? The target is moving too fast.
musl seems very niche. That’s an ecosystem problem; that is on Alpine for swimming upstream.

One of my favorite things is to sauna, then cold shower, then brief sauna again, and my nerves get totally reset such that I can go sit in a -20C chair outside and will not be cold for a surprisingly long time. It feels great.

If the water is not cold enough, it is disappointing.
Then the next news article will read "Amazon stores the locations of where you are in your ebooks!".

You can't have your cake and eat it too, amazon needs to store something to make this feature work.
All this stuff actually made it in!? Concepts look great! Love ranges too.
>Isn't that what the scrubbing process is for? My understanding was that RAID is keeping parity bits to make sure bitrot hasn't happened and it periodically scrubs and repairs when bits do rot.

Nope. Parity bits aren't used to detect bitrot. If you get a URE when you go to read, the parity bits will be used to get you data. If you read successfully, nothing happens at all. If you scrub, and the data is found to be inconsistent, md assumes that the parity is wrong and overwrites it.

https://linux.die.net/man/4/md

>If a read error is detected during this process, the normal read-error handling causes correct data to be found from other devices and to be written back to the faulty device. In many case this will effectively fix the bad block.

>If all blocks read successfully but are found to not be consistent, then this is regarded as a mismatch.

>If check was used, then no action is taken to handle the mismatch, it is simply recorded. If repair was used, then a mismatch will be repaired in the same way that resync repairs arrays. For RAID5/RAID6 new parity blocks are written. For RAID1/RAID10, all but one block are overwritten with the content of that one block.
Agree price caps are not the solution. Don't agree about US big pharma. Novartis is a Swiss multinational, Roche also Swiss, Bayer is a German multinational, Glaxo Smith Kline is a British multinational... Big pharma is a global, or at least Euro-American effort.
Of course. In this case I specifically applied it to my professional domain, but this advice applies to every single facet of life. Life is also incredibly boring if you're not challenging yourself to do new things. Which is why I force myself to try new hobbies, events, programming languages. I almost always walk away glad that I pushed myself to expand and grow, even if I end up not enjoying or pursuing that thing.
An alternative that I found pretty pleasant — but once I got an Apple Music subscription, a bit unnecessary — is an app called Cs Music by Mike Clay. He has a new app in pre-order status called SongOwl that might prove to be better than Cs Music, but I haven’t seen much of it. I bought Cs Music to get a landscape view music player again, but I’ve since just accepted that most people use portrait mode these days.
ZFS might not have the single disk, raw synthetic benchmark performance of a stupid file system with no correctness/integrity built in, but that use case isn't really what anyone wants or needs.

ZFS isn't really a filesystem. It's more like a storage backend, that happens to support the POSIX interface. The original intent of ZFS was to completely rethink the volume management/filesystem layering nonsense, and to provide for storage what the MMU/VM system provides for memory.

So it can do much more interesting things like memory backed read caching (via ARC), SSD backed read caching (via L2ARC), and SSD backed write buffering (via ZIL/SLOG), as well as the normal RAID stuff.
GDScript is just Python that has some tweaks.

For example to preload a child node you put this in a node's member space.

onready var enemy = $Enemy

Variables needing to be declared with the var keyword is the biggest change in the language.

var flag = some_function_result()

Other changes include expanding Python with more keywords useful for the editor and game programming.

It is very nice for prototyping. Still looking forward to that C# AOT support in later releases.
Exactly - this is native code that would need to be written either way, right?
Can you point me in the direction of any reading on this, I’d be interested to hear about it.
It's definitely not for everyone! But I know there are some people who just want to be told "go to the store, buy this stuff, you're going to be cooking these things these days if you want to lose weight". The same as a lot of people don't want to put in the work to do calorie counting through MyFitnessPal/others, but some people (including me!) swear by it.

Worst case, I developed an app I like using more than MyFitnessPal just for me and I'll still be quite happy.
Thank you for your suggestion!

This implementation is tailored to smaller graphs with sometimes long text boxes.

I'll make a note to extract it to a reusable component.
That really does annoy me, so often I'll be on blog or support site, and there is no way to get back to the main web page for the service/company.
Time Magazine Explains Why Section 230 Is So Vital to Protecting Free Speech
Your comment seems to be equate the impact on public consciousness of a movie with an actual nuclear disaster. Surely the near-meltdown of Three Mile Island had a far greater impact?
I didn't assume that Facebook would explicitly connect this information with the visitors in this way.
I don't remember WHY I added the pixel but I did add it. I need to get rid of these things, and Disqus.

I was probably trying to do some research on visitor demographics, which presumably failed.
Intelligence sq had a debate on this a while ago

Good arguments from both sides.

> Pharma companies are profiting off of your tax dollars and then turning around and profiting off of you too.

> the taxpayer could do it at nearly 0% margin?

Adds lots of nuance to blanket/false statements.
What is your point? That he is entitled to engage in tax avoidance?

There IS the cost of maintaining pumps systems too, which isn't terrible, but it's not zero either.
I deleted my Facebook a couple months ago. Now I wish I would have kept it just a little longer to see what they had on me.

But in the end I still would have deleted it. Facebook clearly can't be trusted with my data. Idc what connections it gives me. They have shown time and time again that they will exploit the tiniest things to predict and manipulate your behavior.

And apparently companies desperate for even slight up ticks in conversion rates will upload everything they know about you.

No wonder Cambridge Analytica, AggregateIQ, and Robert Mercer had such an easy time compiling psychological profiles and categories of Americans and Brits.

In the end, it's real simple. The human brain adjusts based on the environment and events around it. Id rather not have Zuckerberg, Dorsey, or anyone else they deem worthy, intentionally or otherwise playing around in my head.
Thank you for clearing that up then. For the record, I do feel bad.
I do warm-cold-as-possible-warm. It is my favorite thing mentally.

The best is sauna-cold-sauna-cold...etc, but the shower is a close second if the water is under 10C. If the water is warmer than that, it doesn't trigger the cold-water reset.
If something benefits McDonalds AND the fine dining places I enjoy, that's fine with me.

I don't have a problem with bad content out there, so long as there's a ton of really good content. For the great publications I read, I want them to be successful businesses so they can expand. A better ad market, or even a return to how it was before the dominance of FB/Google, would enable them to do that in a way that relying mostly on subscriptions hasn't.
This is only because the trust given to apps is insane. No distinction between foreground GPS and background GPS? Sure, I wouldn't want web sites to work that way either. But if permissions were sane there would be no reason not to have native apps and web apps ask for the same permissions in the same way.
One office had me sign a document confirming that I had read some policy of theirs. I asked for the policy that I was agreeing that I'd seen. It took several minutes of someone running around the office digging through drawers and file cabinets to find a copy. Obviously almost everyone affirms having seen it when they have not.
It's not a crazy view but I would add a few things to that

1) The government should not be able compel corporations to add 'features' to help them in this

2) We are talking about an actual warrant, where someone physically went in front of a physical judge int the same location to ask for it, and

3) There is no allowance for speculative but "safe" collection of data they might want under a warrant later - you can only access data occurring after you have the warrant, or naturally occurring records (i.e. no slurping up everyone's cell phone connections/conversations "just in case")

Broad based surveillance of the population by the government is just a bad idea. Cf much of human history on abuse of power.

Number (2) is to make sure this is an expensive process.
I've never met a PM who didn't want this stuff if it was feasible.
“helped trigger a U.S. stock market “flash crash”” is IMHO just an exaggeration typical for U.S. justice: “kid better cooperate with us or you’ll get millions of years in prison.”

He earned 900k on that day. It doesn’t seem plausible.
Negative rights seem to be those more amenable to guarantees since they ask little. The guarantee of positive rights assumes a bunch of prerequisites from what I understand (some of which like healthcare are predicated on a ton of upfront infrastructure and training and availability and so forth).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_rights
Of course if a store is just plain cheaper and over all quality wise better, it it's not that important that it looks hideous and abandoned. But to some people it matters. And if two stores provide the same product at the same price, I think I'll prefer the one that looks nicer.

It doesn't decide everything, but it's pretty certainly a factor (although Amazon must have determined that it's a small one to them, as they are still micro-optimizing for other page-related aspects like loading speed).
At least they had the courtesy to send you the contracts you'd "signed."

I think you may overestimate the impact of philanthropic efforts.

Everything he put into philanthropy could have been spent into the economy by other means. Such as higher employee wages.

I take it as axiomatic that a person with a plethora of money cannot understand the problems of a person with a dearth of money well enough to implement effective solutions.
Could you give or point to some examples?

No, trickle-down refers very specifically to tax breaks tailored narrowly to the wealthy, in hopes that they will in turn distribute their wealth via increased employment of capital and, ultimately, labor. Since its origins in Gilded Age populist political writing and depression era popular media, it has never meant anything else, and it has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

> Give companies, who are additionally acting unethically, a guaranteed and direct profit increase...

No, lowering barriers to competition doesn't give anyone guaranteed profit. It reliably does the opposite, depriving incumbent companies of their monopolies.

> Furthermore, private corps aren't the only way drugs can be invented.

Nobody -- literally nobody -- would dispute that. The question is whether the government is able to do the various parts of drug development as efficiently as the private sector. This is not a simple analysis, but I think the answer is more often than not, No.
The difference was that number one Lavabit was made by a US citizen, and its servers were in the USA. Number two, Lavabit kept all keys to your email at their own premises and could de-crypt your email on their side. Protonmail cannot do so, because your password is a part of they key to decrypt email, and they do not know it, nor they can crack it in a reasonable amount of time, so AFAIK there is nothing they can provide LE with to decrypt your email on the go.
