Okay, I try.

TL;DR: When even at zero rates, aggregate demand is less than aggregate supply.

Then a small disclaimer. I am not an economist by trade, so whatever I write below is my thinking, not learned from a book. Thus no sources available, and take everything with a grain of salt anyway...

If you look at the (macro)economy in the short term from the central bank point of view, there are basically a handful of interesting concepts here. first one is (real) aggregate supply, i.e. how much crap and services economy can produce. In the short term, central bank can not do much about this. (so if you want to draw this, we have a horizontal line above x-axis on a chart where interest rate is x axis and production/demand on the y axis). Second one is aggregate (real) demand, i.e. how much people are willing to buy crap and services given the current interest rates. This is something central bank can affect. With a small trick. they can move the demand to the future or from the future by adjusting the interest rate. If interest rates get higher, people take less loans to buy crap and save more. The opposite when interest rates go lower. (thus, in our drawing, we have a downward sloping line for demand. Draw it so that it crosses the supply on the left of Y-axis for this exercise).Third one is inflation, which I will come back a tiny bit later.

So, now we have a nice (kind of) supply and demand chart. And we see that if we limit the interest rate to zero, we will have oversupply in the economy. That translates to things like unemployment, lower profits for the corporates etc. So we really would like to get the interest rate to the point where supply and demand are equal.

But what about the inflation? One solution would be to have 5% inflation so that zero interest rates would mean -5% interest rates and all would be good again, right? Yep, kind of. If you look again a the chart, where we could find more inflation is where the demand is higher than supply. But that area is even further to the left. To induce inflation, central bank should push the rates even lower than the equilibrium state. and that's why our economies have been between rock and a hard place so long. If we had had an inflation target of 5% in the first place, our life would be much easier. But now we are stuck. And central banks do not have that many options. They can do their best to push the yield curve down to ease as much as possible, but also that has limits. So we are banging against the zero floor and only thing central bank can do is wait for cashless economy or long term economic growth that will increase the aggregate demand. But that is, of course, hampered by lack of demand. Shitty place to be in, today's central bank.
I agree, fixing and creating things is what we do. It makes us happier and better.

Another demotivating argument one might hear often is that building X, learning Y or using Z has no business value because there already exists something that you could do/use.

That argument makes sense if your primary concern is to solve a particular domain problem AKA you are a 'business person'. But a craftsman/engineer/designer etc. Your primary value comes from your skills and knowledge.
But, but — the original titles were created by either authors and/or editors who surely must be respected for their professionalism.
Link to recent thread about Frankl having been debunked. "Would you believe he was at Auschwitz for only a few days, performed medical experiments on Jews himself, and it appears his main thesis about attitude mattering above all else for survival in the camps is simply false." (Sorry to keep posting this! but it does seem many of Frankl's readers haven't heard the truth about his life and book.)

Why would Google send anything to Facebook from its Home app ( the one used to control Chromecasts )? It's beyond short sighted to feed data to a competitor.
I like SAML because it does not involve http requests to fetch user profile (unless I'm missing something and OIDC allows that too). The whole user profile comes with the signed or encrypted payload.

As a result you can have identity provider sitting in an unreachable / private network.

Or.. Your identity provider doesn't even have to be a network service at all. We have some integration tests around systems using SAML for authentication. SAML authentication statements in test environments are generated by the test suite and fed to SPs via Selenium controlled browser.
I was expecting this last time I went to Malmø, but I was surprised to see restaurants in the centre of Helsingborg with "no cash" signs on the door or in the menu.

I think Denmark introduced that law after seeing what had happened in Sweden.

Hehe, true, but unlike programming languages, the languages humans use for communication are "sloppy" and ambiguous by definition. Grammar rules have been invented after the fact to create the illusion that there's order where none exists.

English allows much more "freedom" than many other languages (e.g. German), maybe that's one reason why it has been so successful in the end.
I know for a fact that these APIs (in general, not necessarily this exact VISA API) are starting to be used in Europe's privacy champion, Germany. I do believe that they can be only used for customer service enhancements (such as electronic receipt service or expense tracking), and are not freely available for third parties. I'm not an expert on the surrounding legislation though so that's just my assumption.

Just pointing out that links to this data do exist, even if it has strong legal protections/opt-in barriers.

Here's a pretty good summary:

A few things to bear in mind, race is far more of a cultural construct than a genetic one. Compared to other species we don't show much genetic variation, and people of African descent are much more genetically diverse than the rest of humanity. Another is that IQs have been rising steadily around the world, proof that environmental factors such as nutrition and education have a a large effect.
So, I do find that behavior annoying, but I wouldn't call it worthless. I still get a list of articles that I can skim through fairly quickly, and, while one more click to get to the full article is a (very) mild inconvenience, it hardly eliminates the value of the RSS Feed.

It is admittedly more of an issue in airplanes. But I'm disinclined to throw out the baby over a few hours per year's worth of bathwater.

I think there is far less surveillance than everyone thinks.
I'm confused how the outputs of the simulation can be considered as anything more than a reflection of the inputs. E.g. the findings include a description of how the public reacts, but that reaction was created by the simulators according to what they thought would happen. Then they they get to write a report saying that "the simulation showed X would happen", even though that's equivalent to "we thought X would happen, so we made it happen in the simulation".

I guess there's value in setting up a situation where people actually consider what would happen and write down what they come up with. At least that can point out problems of the "obvious once you think about it" variety.
Excellent news. This is something far more open source projects should do. All this fragmentation is good for nothing, it is far better to have one really good piece of software than 20 half baked ones all doing roughly 80% of the whole.

Surely you mean dense one-hot?

Technically, the sparse one-hot encoding is the most efficient in terms of memory footprint. You simply store the non-zero coordinates.

The problem in practice for GPUs is that sparse vector/matrix operations are too inefficient.

The whole point of something like this paper is to skip the entire 'densification' step and to directly deal with the sparse matrix input as a sparse matrix. The LSH is used in this paper improves on directly using SpMSpV, as that is also inefficient on CPUs, although to a lesser extent than GPUs.
Witness statements are used right now, and they're memory filtered through people's perceptions and desires; potentially way worse.
Your experience mirrors my experience quite a bit. I remember a few years ago playing with ANTLR precisely as an alternative to flex/bison for a project I was working on. Just recently I had an embedded project (quite resource constrained, like 4kB of RAM) that needed to parse some data coming in a serial port, and I thought “hey, I should look at ANTLR again”.

I fire it up, play around a bit, and did a calculator example or something like that. The next step, I figure, is to get it to generate some C code so I can test it on the device. Turns out ANTLR4 has dropped the C backend entirely! C++ is, currently, a no-go for the project, so... I guess I’m out of luck there.

Pleasantly, in a discussion with a friend, he asked the silly question: “couldn’t you parse those strings with sscanf()?”. I blinked in disbelief, wrote the tiniest parser to split the input on newlines, and sscanf() did the trick.
A minor counterpoint from a clinical researcher: in medicine and biology, evidence is mostly based on bullshit, not percentages.
What follows is only partly related to the overall conversation, rather an answer to the ribbon episode.

The ribbon in MS Office came along roughly at the same time as 16:9 and 16:10 screens (on laptops in my memories anyway). Already on a 4:3 screen, WYSIWYG editing wastes much space on left and right of the screen, to show paper margins and page limits. And that goddamned ribbon eats up all the top of the screen, making you see only a limited band of what you could see on that very screen. Had no one the idea to make the ribbon a vertical tool bar on the left or right, like in Photoshop/Gimp and a number of other tools? Such a feeling of UI failure at the time. At that moment my computers were already all running Linux anyway, so I've never used it more than a few times on a coworker's machine.

Now I no longer use WYSIWYG software. Text editing with the WYSIWYG paradigm feels superficially seducing, until you realize it actually hides the actual document content. How many times has Word shown some items in a bullet list with a different size without any visible reason ? Or in Google docs one bullet horizontally misaligned? Why? No one knows.

When editing text, seeing how the final document would look like is not that important. It's more important to know the state of what you're editing. With markdown or asciidoc what you see it what your document actually contains.

On top of that, WYSIWIG assumes that there is one final document appearance, which is just not true for a digital document in a digital world that could be rendered countless ways in different styles (unless your workflow targets documents in try-to-mimick-paper-form, like PDF, until that changes).
Following up on this, it seems like they did quite well.
It was obviously a good faith response, and if you look at what people do versus what their degree is in, it's obvious that college education for many students might as well be studying the Kardashians. I think literally none of my relatives use their post-secondary education, except for a lawyer (who doesn't use his undergrad degree) and a guy who presumably went to culinary school. And a retired college professor, I guess.

AFAIK the bulbs are compatible with v1 and v2 hubs, so the bulbs do not need to be replaced. The v1 hubs will continue to work across a local area network. Philips offered a heavily discounted upgrade for v1 hub users to get a new v2 hub.

However, I still think they should support the v1 hubs for the lifespan of a typical bulb (15 years), at minimum.
I would be a lot of money that you touch your face dozens - if not hundreds of times - a day, just like everyone else. It's a normal human reaction to multiple stimuli. There's a video spreading on reddit right now of the talking heads regurgitating the same advice you're giving now, they usually last about a few seconds after telling others not to, before touch their face.

> I don't see how any company could survive legitimately offering artificially limited internet access

Many ISPs are monopolies in their markets. You may have the privilege of choice where you lived, but I’ve been in a state capital city where if you wanted broadband cable internet you had to get it from one provider, since they owned all the infrastructure.

You could try to make your cell phone act as a hot spot (or buy a mobile hotspot that used cellular reception from a different vendor), but that was hit or miss depending on your proximity to a tower.

Your statement would make sense where people had a legitimate choice of a provider. But for many people, there is only one choice for broadband in their market.

A big part of this is the complexity of the project. There are a dozen sensitive control systems in a modern tractor, working in concert.

I think a logo should express uniqueness, the soul of a company and their product.

In this particular case, it is the opposite: BMW’s logo change is an unoriginal move to copy the latest trend. Lack of courage and imagination.

I see it often recently that our German companies avoid risks of being pioneers, just copy-paste proven ideas, and act fussily and chaotically when see threats from emerging innovators.

Regulation could require banks to accept anyone as a customer.

Regulation in the UK requires banks to accept almost anyone -- it looks like there's still no luck for people suspected of fraud, or without a fixed address.

I'm a lisper and dislike XML as much as the next guy, but XML-DSig seems like a fundamental mistake and sexp-dsig would not have been a better spec. All of the problems you get from in-band signing and encryption are still there--case in point, our blog post on how not to sign a JSON object[0] would be a fine spike on a blog post about why XML-DSig is bananas.

(One counterexample I can think of: you probably wouldn't do CDATA and comments the same way as XML did, which led to Kelby Ludwig's fantastic SAML auth bypass--which also gets a review in that blog post.)

I know this isn't the point you're making, but I find smart lights useful for automatically turning on or off at various times. I don't use Hue, but I think that part should still work if you lost internet connectivity.

This might be an argument for open standards being better for consumers.

I don't want to say that vendors shouldn't implement custom protocols for an enhanced experience. But, as a consumer, I'd be a lot more likely to shell out for a product like this if I knew that there were a wifi speaker equivalent of PostScript, and that the speaker supported it. That gives me confidence that there will be some least-common-denominator level of functionality that I'll be able to get out of it for as long as the hardware itself lasts.

As it stands, my impression is that these limited-lifespan IoT products are mostly for people whose disposable income is rather more disposable than mine is.
Indeed. The first paragraph jumps straight to "and now it's time to talk to the person in question to get them to stop".

If you get a complaint about somebody somebody in your organization, the first thing it is time to do is listen to both sides with your best critical thinking hat on. Going into a conversation with the accused party with the intention of getting them to do anything, before hearing their side, is an injustice.

Alternatives to Uber exist in Europe, America etc, and for decades the main way to contact them was by phone. The other way was to walk into an office, which were often located near restaurants and bars. (And the final way was by waving at an empty vehicle in the street.)
