Maybe what I am thinking is that, if it is a real business with products that are agnostic any user would benefit from a much higher quality product. I don't know enough about software in politics to understand just how ridiculous this idea might be.

Perhaps an example might serve as a better explanation of what I am thinking:

Trello is a real company with a product that is agnostic. Politicians of any school of though can use their products to great effect. They benefit from everyone using this product, including, perhaps, their competitors and opposition.

If, on the other hand, each political party hires a passionate coder to create their own kanban board software they are very likely to end-up with a bunch of suboptimal solutions.

In other words, if they can, if the nature of the software allows, it would benefit them to look for universal providers rather than party-aligned providers. If you can trust Trello with your political party data you can then trust a similar company with other data you might produce with their software.

I guess it comes down to the software. What kinds of things are they doing that requires custom tools that have to be written specifically for one party?

> I think the plan was clearly that they would reuse the software for every caucus during this primary, so the $60K was one of a series of payments for the same product.

No. The plan was that it would be used in the IA and NV caucuses, which is why the IA and NV Democratic Parties jointly purchased it.

The other states and territories using caucuses were never planning on using it. (And mostly, the other caucuses are structured differently with more primary-like features, so it probably wouldn't make sense to use shared software tailored to the IA and NV caucuses for them.)

Using Deep Learning models trained on static images is usually not a good idea. But one can simply extend the model to use 3D convolutions instead of 2D, use time as 3rd axis and then feed a sequence of images for training, getting much better results out of it without the wavy effects.

Here's another downstream consequence, for London.

When a lot is converted to high-end apartments, the population density may go down. For example, what may have been an apartment house for 20 families (5 floors, 4 per floor) may be 10 or even 5. Or, as is the case in London, the apartment may be occupied only occasionally.

Neighborhood business often depend on local traffic. If there are fewer people, then there is less need for barbershops, and corner shops, and the like. Owners may need to quit, sell their property, and move elsewhere. These are stressful.

Grocery stores may switch to high-end/expensive foods.

As a result, the non-rich who live there have fewer options, and a lower quality of life.

Now, this may not be a problem for those who use economics to maximize "gross domestic product" or other easily measured value. But it may worsen, say, "Gross National Happiness."

Economics doesn't guide us on what to maximize. That's what politics does.

A thought I had while reading about this was what is the limit to upscaling via this method? By that I mean if one where to just keep upscaling and had a monitor capable of displaying the image, how long until the image became unrecognizable? Surely upscaling an already upscaled image would result in some strange artifacts.

It's sharper, but it's the type of sharper that happens in a dream, look at the text on the left building (quonset hut with a hole in the side). The text flutters as the net fever dreams context from it. Like a dream it has more detail the more you look but it also isn't real. It's like how I can read shit even why my eyes are very dry or it's beyond the extent of my vision, it's tossing it's guesses into a viewable object, but it's just extrapolations, like how I can tell the score in a nfl game across the bar, I know the game isn't 88 to 9, it's likely 28 to 7.

This doesn't make it any less cool, just putting it in context.

Haha, you've described today, only those big app-platforms run on the web. I'd prefer them to be native apps. That would be more CPU efficient and devices in turn would be cheaper and effectively more powerful. Can you comfortably run a few of these at the same time on a 10 year old netbook? Not currently.

I'm in favor of retiring the web. Not that it will happen any time soon. How many reasons do we need? Private information leakage alone should not be tolerated. Accessibility? Attack surface? Resource efficiency?

Obviously I'm missing the point, because none of this explains why internet is what it is. I sure wish it were simpler.

I do the first way ("read the API/language spec"), and it seem the good way, to me. However, sometimes doing more than one thing may help if needed.

But you could also try writing stuff to see what it is, and then you can learn by that way, maybe; that would be in addition to reading the document, so that you can know what it is, and see if it is helpful.

I don't know how to call myself proficient, so I just guess. If I made something with it, then I might say I am proficient to write that particular program with it.

You need a physio for this. Hopefully a doctor would just recommend physio.
This is all correct! Except for order not mattering, which is true of your examples but not true in general. But integer addition and multiplication also have a variety of other interesting algebraic properties: they are invertible (except multiplication by 0) and commutative, one distributes over the other, and integer addition has inverse elements. Some other monoids may give the flavor more clearly:

- string concatenation is a monoid, with the empty string as the identity element. In fact, string concatenation is the most general monoid on a set, called the "free monoid"; all other monoids can be made from it by defining a canonicalization operation. For integer addition, for example, you can collapse a string of integers such as [4, -1, 2] down to their sum, such as [5]. Note that the free monoid is not commutative, and although it is invertible (in "hairy" || " and a half" = "hairy and a half", you can take " and a half" off and get the original "hairy"), it doesn't have inverse elements.

- max and min on a closed set, and more generally all semilattices. Let's write 4 \/ 5 = 5 \/ 4 = 5. This \/ is associative and has an identity (whatever the maximum of the closed set is; we can augment the integers with -∞ and +∞ and use -∞ as the identity element), so it forms a monoid. Any theorem about monoids will work equally well for string concatenation and for this pairwise max operator. Isn't that wild?

- & and | for bitstrings of some length. This is also a lattice.

- Matrix multiplication (for matrices of a particular square shape).

- The morphological dilation operation.

> It is exactly the same as "fake news"; originally used by someone in the lefty media (CNN?) to deride Fox News, but popularised by Trump against CNN. Or did you think Trump came up with that all by himself?

This is pure bullshit. "Fake news" was first used to describe completely fictional news outlets writing about fictional people and fictional events, mainly designed to go viral on facebook for ad revenue.

For example, Paul Horner[1]:

> His stories had an "enormous impact" on the 2016 U.S. presidential election according to CBS News;[17] they consistently appeared in Google's top news search results, were shared widely on Facebook and were taken seriously and shared by third parties such as Trump presidential campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, Eric Trump, ABC News and Fox News.[18] Horner later claimed that his work during this period was intended "to make Trump's supporters look like idiots for sharing my stories".[19]

> In December 2016, while speaking on Anderson Cooper 360°, Horner said that all news is fake news and called CNN "fake news", which was one month before Donald Trump leveled the same criticism at that network.[23]

The world is already siloed and narrow minded and always was. E.g. OP writes "evil countries like Russia, China, Iran". It's a very narrow view that is very far from truth. It is formed exclusively by western media and nothing else where another evil country - US - tries to defile every other country in order to loot it using direct (invasion) or indirect (sanctions and neo-colonial politics) measures.
I noticed this as well, it really confuse me for the first several searches.
It's even more clear: when you are not allowed to have an opinion based on something you can't control, like your race, for example, you know it's war.

'White Fragility' supporters will effectively deny the opinion of anyone who is White, because of course, 'how could they possibly know?' and 'they are guilty of perpetuating racism by virtue of their Whiteness'. This is 'race war': you are 'guilty' and you 'must apologize profusely and enduringly'.

In Scientology, anyone who is against the group is labelled as 'suppressive' - that means, among other things that they don't take the 'suppressive' person's arguments or actions at face value. Don't get into argumentation or rhetoric with a 'suppressive' - just undermine them and destroy them by any means possible.

The 'White Fragility' ideology gives people with grievances a very powerful, fascist ideology to validate their anger: "my opponents are wrong by their very nature, and their arguments can have no value". I mean, that's a pretty powerful rhetorical tool, just invalidate whatever anyone else says because of who they are.

The Guardian has an article right now about this [1] i.e. White women paying Women of Colour to tell them all the ways that they are racist. It's not without controversy even among attendees.

The thing is - most people are willing to examine racial issues on some level. 85% of Republicans believe that racism exists in America. Obviously, these things vary, some narratives are more broadly acceptable than others, but by and large, people are willing to listen at the right time and right occasions. But this kind of toxicity draws some pretty hard battle lines, upon which many otherwise 'allies' will join the other camp or ignore entirely.

I've personally become very cynical about the issue, and I believe most popular figures talking about the issue are interested mostly in how people perceive them and not much more, i.e. just enabling the ratcheting.

> Americans are too fucking cheap.

Americans or most westerners ?

A lot of fields have become sad due to competing race to the bottom. People "today?" are too deeply wired to pick the cheapest, the market will reflect that.
"You seem very upset", "I suggest going for a walk", "Take a couple deep breaths", "Calm down", and even "It's just a browser" are patronizing personal comments that cross into insulting. Even worse, "By the way, what sites do you work on? I'd like to make sure to avoid them." is an ugly personal attack. I'm delighted that you didn't take offense at any of that, but that puts you above the 99th percentile of non-offense-taking. We can't pitch moderation at that level!

I wish it were obvious, but no, we don't care (I mean we really don't care) whether HN users support Mozilla or Firefox or Google or hate them. The only thing we care about [1] is whether the stories and comments on this site gratify intellectual curiosity. Most for-or-against rants of that nature don't have much curiosity in them. They're more like sports fans yelling at each other. That's great in its way! It's something to do. It gets juices flowing. But it's not really the kind of discussion we're going for here. By the way, although I don't frequent sports fan sites, I'd bet a lot of money that users there feel like the mods are biased against their team.

To be honest, I didn't really think your comment was that bad. It broke the site guidelines by being a name-calling rant. But it was so over-the-top that to me it felt more exuberant than mean, and that's actually not the kind of thing we're trying to eliminate here. Meanness is. The reason I didn't spell this out in my reply to Shaaaaaaare is that their comment really did break the site guidelines badly, and this is much too subtle a distinction to have gone into in that context. Much better to say: even if the other comment was really bad, you still can't post like this. In other words, two wrongs don't make a right, just as mothers have always said.

The N9 was released in 2011, only two years into the modern smartphone era. The hardware and software were fantastic and it got a lot of attention but died due to no other devices following it, not because of a lack of demand.

The authors studied simulations of electrical
conduction in a semi-conductor crystal. They
found "bound states" of two electrons with two
holes, which they call "pi-tons" a kind of
quasi-particle that only exists in the crystal.
They hope to find experimental evidence for this.

This looks like a more complicated version of a one

What is Firefox preview? Desktop nightlies? One of the alternative mobile browsers Mozilla is working on?
Yes. Western people really can't understand this. Western media can publish only negative facts about some country and this creates completely distorted world view. They don't even have to publish fake news (although they were pioneers in this also).

Centralised platforms like Google also contribute to this because they can (and in case of Google they do it indeed) lift up negative articles and bury positive.
