“The share price drop gives the company a market capitalisation of $460m and comes after Casper had reduced its value in the lead-up to the IPO. In January, the company initially priced its shares within a range of $17 to $19, giving the company a valuation of up to $714m. This marked a drop from the $1.1bn the company had reached in its final round of private fundraising last year, elevating it to the group of so-called “unicorns”.”
First of all Google affects a lot more than just the USA and while HQed in the USA is in many ways an international company.

Secondly, even if you take a US centric view of things, just because someone at the Pentagon claims something is the US best interests doesn't mean it is. People say, "oh we need these dangerous AI based weapons or other countries will win an arms race". Arms races benefit military contractors but few other people. The 20th century taught us lessons about arms races and we should learn from them. The USA does not build nuclear weapons anymore, instead it invests heavily in diplomacy to prevent other countries from building nuclear weapons. For some reason, few people seem to consider that we could take the same approach to AI weaponry.

People simply underestimate the dangers of AI weaponry. Suppose you are an evil dictator who wants to oppress and enslave a group of people, and you can choose between a nuclear bomb, or a drone that has enough intelligence to hunt down journalists, political opponents, and any other dissidents that dare defy you. Which weapon would this hypothetical tyrant pick?

Yes, wealthy, powerful people at the top ranks of politics and business in this country, who stand to gain more wealth and power via the development of these weapons, support Google developing them. However, your position that since they're the authority figures, anybody who questions them is not an "adult", strikes me as extremely asinine and highly dangerous.
You're linking literally pseudoscientific misinformation. Do better!
It has evolved onto fighting for rights of EVERYONE who is currently being harrassed, targetted, and discriminate against. It's activism for human rights for everyone.

How is that different from just saying former LGBT+ activists have decided they need to broaden their focus to more general human rights activism?

This is like saying "Vegetarianism doesn't just involve eating vegetables. A lot of vegetarians have started eating meat."
>Napster .. could be considered a streaming service

It was downloads. Anyway the article specifically calls out "streaming platforms" and that's what I take issue with.

The big difference is the newer streaming platforms tend to be subscription-based or otherwise ad-based and share revenue with the music industry.

My point is the decline in music industry revenue is more due to rogue free download sites or user uploads to YouTube, etc. This generated no (direct) revenue to the music industry. Whereas the newer streaming platforms are working with the music industry and are turning back the tide.

It's honestly just a bad analogy on his part.

Bruce may agree with homosexuality-affirming theology and argue strongly (or even rightly!) that it should be adopted by his denomination, but denominations exist precisely so that they may create standards of unity in hermeneutics and interpretations. That's the whole purpose of belonging to one.

If you openly defy their positions or teach in opposition to them, you shouldn't expect to remain a part of that denomination—whether you know it or not, you're advocating for a new sect.

I think painting what happened as the work of some wilely, ill-minded lawyer is either extremely naïve or disingenuous.
Yet another post of someone that feels the need to explain why they had to quit Google. To me it looks like another level of narcissism.
Actually yeah, I wrote a script which 1. exports data from tensorboard.dev, then 2. prints it out in csv form that can be dropped into hiplot.

It was ok. Kind of lost interest when I saw the actual result. You can't smooth the data, so often times it's hard to tell what's going on.

Here's the awful script. It's specific to my own naming conventions, so it probably won't work for you. But the same idea would work: just parse the tensorboard data and spit it out as csv. https://gist.github.com/shawwn/b74d6e58da6496e2ade02bab61acc...

I also ran into a bug where multiple different datapoint types were getting merged into one. (It wasn't due to the csv code; the actual CSVs are fine.) I.e. the rows in the csv had a certain column that had a certain value, but in hiplot that column was nowhere to be found.

Here's what it looks like: https://imgur.com/1n1eDXu

I deployed an example here: https://hiplot-subsim-demo.now.sh

Notice that the "run" column shows up in the data, but not in hiplot.
Not seen NetApp but from a quick Google it seems to be more intelligent database management.

Delphix is more using the power of ZFS and Copy On Write to give you instant database copies with minimal storage footprint. We used it to give every developer their own Database that they could do anything to and not worry about locks etc. Refreshing to a more recent copy was a very quick operation and required a developer running one command. Had a nice web interface and a REST interface for automation.

I'd recommend it but with the caveat that I've no idea how much it costs as it was a Dev thing a client was encouraging use of. Was really nice to work with though.
A very broad answer to your query... sneakerheads run the gamut in terms of what they might look for or why they might want a shoe. A sneakerhead may want to have a shoe in their collection but never rock (wear) them, another shoe might be a grail that is worn infrequently or for special occasions, and yet another shoe might become a "beater" - a shoe you love to wear and wear it til it's in tatters.

In my collection I have all three types. Some sneakerheads are into collecting only the most valuable shoes in terms of reselling (this is not me).

Even for my utilitarian shoes/boots I obsess over details such as construction, comfort, and craft/style. It's why I'm a fan of some limited Redwing & Nick's Handmade boots and not something you can just pick up at your local big box store.

What I consider a great shoe design, another sneakerhead might think is trash. Some sneakerheads only collect specific types/brands. For me it's usually a combination of style/design, quality of materials, and comfort. If a shoe isn't comfortable I won't wear it and if it's valuable in the aftermarket I'll probably sell it for profit at some point - unless it's a pure work of art in which case I'll keep it indefinitely. Yes there are shoes like that (for me).

But there are trends - shoes that a great many people find "exciting" or good design for various reasons. As I mentioned in my original comment, there are reselling marketplaces such as StockX (stockx.com) that track trends and display the value sneakers - the value can be dictated by a combination of factors such as design/style, materials and rarity with a peppering of comfort & utility.

I totally get that some people just want a shoe to be a shoe and don't care much about style/design. I just happen not to be one of those people.

The Last Negroes at Harvard: The Class of 1963
I have lived in Python ~80% of my career (~50% now) currently), although a large chunk of my career was writing 2.7 compatible with 2.6 (thanks RHEL). For the last year and a half I have written 3.6+ exclusively and I didn't realize that regular dicts were now ordered.

I don't use dicts if I require ordering, but if I did I would probably still reach for collections.OrderedDict...

I wonder what the implications are of dict ordering with the "new" (new for me...) function args and *kwargs...from the hip it sounds pretty handy.
Title should say what "ordered" means. Is it by key, or by insertion-order?
This reminds me of Samsung disabling the Galaxy phone SPO2 oxygen sensor in Samsung Health but only for Canada. To me selling a phone with a certain hardware feature then disabling months or years later without notice is fraud. My dad used it frequently since he has COPD and is on supplemental oxygen (yes I know it's not a medical device but it's a ballpark).
> Therefore there's no point changing our habits.

This kind of feels to me like mutual assured destruction. Nobody lay down their weapons because of the other party. If you are not changing habits because the source of the problem doesn't lie in your geographical section, you are turning your back to the fact that climate crisis is a human kind crisis. We need to change habits as a whole, so that even when we are not directly helping, we are setting precedent and example.

Edit: the talks are frustrating though, I am not arguing that! But let's not give up. Giving up we are assuring our defeat.

The introduction of Platform Capitalism to the music industry through streaming services and online media brands more or less reoriented the music industry’s function of supply and quality of demand by flooding the market with valueless content in the form of user-uploaded music and evergreen “click-bait” articles.

How quickly we forget the other platforms that used to dominate the music industry -- radio, MTV, distribution networks, music retailers -- that extracted maximum profit from listeners while excluding most artists from profits.

It's a similar story in other media industries. B&N is regarded as a victim of Amazon's dominance of the book industry, but 25 years ago it was regarded as a heartless juggernaut devouring the book industry.
This would make a great DIY project.

> That is to say, Canada, which is 0.5% of the planet’s population, plans to use up nearly a third of the planet’s remaining carbon budget.

I don't really see what Canada's population size relative to the world population has to do with this. From my reading of the article, it doesn't sound like they intend to use all of it; they plan to export it to other people.

Still, its disappointing to hear that this much carbon is about to be yanked out of the ground. If you want a good laugh: the premier of Alberta claims that Alberta is interested in these mines for the benefit of a consortium of First Nations, allowing them to economically develop (but of course how exactly First Nations will benefit hasn't been totally run-to-ground):

>> If one wants to send their kids to a good school you HAVE to buy a single family home in that school district.

Not true. Many districts have open enrollment.

It used to be that way in our district. It didn't stop some people from claiming their kids lived with relatives and that sort of thing. It used to be limited to x amount of students but the laws changed.

It's good for the kids, but bad for the schools overall. The more 'bad kids' you get, the worse the schools get, and then the 'good kids' start going to other districts as well.
Why modest?
Yup, we left SF for pretty much the same reasons:

1) Homeless encampments in our neighborhood, full of garbage, feces, urine, and needles. Increase in car theft, breakins and robbery. Various competing homeless cabals running bicycle chop shops, selling parts for drugs. Mentally ill people banging, screaming, fighting in the middle of the night. Hard to sleep through that. Explosive diarrhea smeared on our front door. That was so fun to clean up. City officials unable or unwilling to address the homeless problem.

2) Hellish commute traffic up and down the Peninsula. 280 used to be awesome. Now just a parking lot, just like 101 and 80.

3) Soaring cost of living because of insufficient housing. Anytime a new development is proposed, people are protesting against it, often the same people who are complaining about the high cost of housing. I saw a building aimed for senior citizens tied up in knots for years because of these protesters, on a site that had an abandoned warehouse with broken windows sitting completely empty.

I do miss being able to walk 10 minutes in any direction and find any type of food and restaurant that I wanted. But I started to feel that I was going to get killed by a mentally ill homeless person on that walk to the restaurant. I'm happy we left.
I can also merge from GitLab (or other server) forks too, I think? I've never tried doing that, but it sounds like something that should be trivial
Google has done more good than a lot of companies. Go compare it to Palantir etc.

There was a time where the search ad economy was such a great idea and a net benefit to society, and you could hire idealists to do the right things because hey some of them might end up being win-wins for both the business and society (See: Google Maps, Gmail, News, Android). Now though, the scale has shifted much more towards just squeezing all the juice out of the ad and data economy and keeping competitors out. There's not enough large-scale win-wins. This started when the self-driving car projects started really petering out. Innovation, real innovation in both products and also business plans has slowed down, at least within the big companies.

So where are these idealists supposed to go? Well, imo, on measure they've got PLENTY OF MONEY NOW, so they can and should go IMPROVE SOCIETY. Sure, some can stay within Google to try to hold up the barricade against capitalism and investor demands, but everyone knows the barricade will fall sooner rather than later. Like the original post's blog - thats what those people should be doing.
Do you seriously believe that (as of the time of the prop 8 vote in 2008), 52% of the California electorate actually hated those 1.3 million residents?

Why do you see that comment as dumping on Google? I see it as complementing them for taking the time to optimize the hardware rather than just throwing a larger chip at it.

Ruby hashes are currently ordered and have been for quite a while now. Ruby 1.9 maybe?

But back in the day they indeed were not, for appropriate values of back in the day. :)

it did make a LOT of things more convenient and less buggy when they made ruby hashes ordered, I recall. I didn't expect it would matter much, by found myself loving it. I believe the ruby maintainers investigated and determined they could do it with very little performance hit. It turns out that having a repeatable and predictable order, that also matches insertion order, is what a lot of people end up assuming whether they realize it or not, just makes everything smoother when it is.

If everyone who participated in the Google Walkout (20% of their workforce) stayed out until Google addressed their complaints, rather than returning to work after their lunch hour was over, all seven demands would've been met, instead of one. (And they probably would've still got paid!) I have my doubts that tech companies could operate with a sudden loss of 20% of their workforce and talent base.

If a company knows you will return to work no matter how much you complain, they are not going to take you seriously. (This was the Walkout's mistake.) And if, as an individual, you make too much noise, you'll just get fired. (See numerous individual examples.) Decisive collective action works, and that's what unions figured out a long time ago.
What do you think is the end result of all the "educating and organizing"? Do you think Google would make major policy decisions (which had massive financial and competitive impacts) because of employees emailing the CEO to voice their displeasure with what they are assigned to do (while they continue to do it regardless)?
Sadly, labor is not that powerful anymore... especially when the company has the capital to replace you with 5 people tomorrow.

I find talk of monetising people extremely off-putting. Also (not meant as a personal attack), I do not want to be around or associate with people who talk like this.
I definitely recall there being no fall out or or problems when ruby did it in I think 1.9. Semantically, I can't think of how there would be. Since previously order was unpredictable and not guaranteed, it could be anything at all; always using insertion order is, after all, one possible value of "anything at all".

Only possible downside might be performance (or memory). I recall the ruby maintainers ensuring they had an implementation with very little if any performance/memory implication.

It's how great design translates into good brand marketing (read: hype) - UA isn't it.
