Not exactly, if they just so happen to be spending a lot of money on purchases of ad-space, or advertising services.

For example, just one marketing VP with a salary of $120,000 could have an advertising spend budget of a few million.

But in Yelp's specific case, they do have a ton of sales/customer service people who most definitely are among the first to go, along with engineers who are working on projects that are not related to keeping the website from 404ing
I didn't mean to imply 'a' culture. I meant culture, like water.

Cultures don't have a name. Cultures are people. People sharing a history probably disagree in subtle ways about what their culture is as it is a matter of individual experience.

This doesn't validate postmodernism since there was no dichotomy to begin with and nothing to deny. Our history isn't human history. 'We' go back 3.5 billion years because we experience influence from then as a matter of evolution. The pattern is much broader that postmodernism claims it to be. Life is not anthropocentric.

This is usually coordinated. PR talks to a friendly outlet, gives them the exclusive on the story with the caveat that the timing is released a few minutes after employees have been informed. This lets them get correct information out, control the narrative, and gets the friendly news outlet an exclusive story. Generally speaking, it's also done to be respectful to the people who just got laid off.
Oh, the results are handled by the reducer... it's not that far off.. expecting an event with a given shape, as opposed to a direct argument.

A fun activity to do at home: “Narrate A Piece of Quotidian Footage”
It doesn't strike me as obviously so. As I (probably mis-)understand it, the author is saying that if we take seriously the idea that people can have incompatible perspectives on the world then we can lose a notion of 'truth' that applies across perspectives - and this undermines ideas like education and learning. However, (it is claimed) science is special in that it can transcend perspectives and, if so, form a foundation for us to make sense of notions like education and learning while still taking perspectivism seriously.

I suspect it is a bit of a reach, but if the author wants to take perspectivism seriously without accepting the intuitive conclusions about education and learning, then this could be a promising approach to take.

Possibly a stupid question, but is it possible to try this out on an Oculus Quest? E.g. with a link cable?
This is fair enough for managed situations where your company has signed-off on certain apps that they let you install.

But when everyone and their dog is using Zoom on their personal machines, Mac App Store should be an option.
Me too. It is also frustrating that they reject it on assumption on what it might take into account instead of trying to find out what it actually take into account.

Like, people in this forum assume models are done by data analysts with no special additional knowledge about domain.
> Isn't it obvious this will lead to hyperinflation?

No, because this kind of thing has been done before without hyperinflation.

What you are ignoring is what the expected inflation/deflation course would be without the policy.
Very cool, but I'd like to see the difference between the monthly and one-time total payments. The scale of the art is also difficult to perceive. Everything looks the same size and you have to look at the numbers on the bottom to see the size, but it's still hard to capture at a glance. I know there's probably some strategy to get highly normalized images of the art, but it's not very immersive.

Otherwise, good luck with the project; I love the concept!

I like the site. I've been helping with Somerville Open Studios and we struggle to make a nice browser art listing for our 350 member artists.
We came up with "Itineraries" of studios to visit. (Or struggle to get some of our artists in larger studio buildings to upload there art).

We have canceled our open studios event for May. We're always looking for ways to help our Artist's sell (being a non-profit we don't have the resources to broker the transactions.)

If you don't mind I have questions: Do the artists have their own portal? Is the art Currated? Are you handling delivery and payments?

About eye-strain, how is focusing in a VR headset? Is it always a fixed point given it's really just flat screens, or does one have to focus differently when things are "far away".

Navigation is one of the things we definitely need to improve upon.

I think the wiggling is actually kind of natural -- you don't notice your head or eye movements when you do them automatically, but it might be exacerbated in VR.

The fixing is an interesting idea, we'll try it out. I'm a bit worried it might feel weird in VR.
Yeah I agree that the tooling at the moment is inadequate, specially on linux, but both Apple and Google are working towards improving it.

Regarding the tensorflow dev summit, it was supposed to be 2 days long initially, with the S4TF talk taking place on the second day. One week before the summit, the whole day 2 got scraped due to covid19 though. So the intention was there at least.

It might be an interesting perspective to think of almost any software library or framework as a kind of interpreter or translator from the layer above it to the layer below - e.g., a web browser is a translator from DOM constructs to native draw calls?
Because of the value in subverting abuse systems such as Yelp ratings or Google SEO, these teams usually are handled differently with an entirely different threat model - which is why they may be referred to as "secretive".
How is the eye fatigue in general? How long can you go in a VR work session?

For VR gaming (Oculus Rift), I start to experience mild discomfort after about 30min, which grows severe by 60min. It's hard to envision using VR for a full work day. (My eyes are fairly light-sensitive from laser-eye surgery; not sure how much is saccading, vs. bright light directly in front of the eyes.)

The Paradox of Our Age
Nailed it.

The question is how you put the genie back in the bottle.

I think this is the core insight of small-government conservatism. When big, powerful institutions exist, they can do great things...provided they're always run by exceptional people. But when they're not, the damage they can do is incalculable.

So the question becomes, how do you create a system with the best long-run survival properties? I, I suspect much like you, would like it if there was some way we could return a bit of power back to Congress and other institutions, and away from the huge executive we have today, in 2020. It just feels like a ticking time bomb until the wrong people get the helm.
You aren't required to trust Signal.

You can read the source, you can compile it yourself, and you can use it.

You can also do a reproducible build and check that it matches the hash of the APK served by the play store.

"Open source distribution?" What is that? If you can't trust the vendor, no F-Droid is going to help there. If you need to verify the source, you need to do it yourself.

I'm not happy to discount 100 years of epidemiology, and don't do so casually. But everything we've seen suggests that it can't produce accurate estimates of how bad a pandemic will be.

I don't mean to imply epidemiologists are bad at their jobs! Some areas of science are just like that. It's similarly hard to predict from first principles how effective a new drug will be or what properties a new material will have. But I've seen a lot of people say "we've gotta do suchandsuch because this model I saw projected it as the best option", and that's not a level of confidence these models can actually provide.

> - dense UI (less whitespace meant more information packed into a smaller window that took up less of my screen)

Yesterday's thread about DECUS and HP's OpenVMS hobbyist program opened a can of nostalgia worms so I remembered that my first laptop was a late-Digital era 11"-screen laptop with a pretty low-res screen (800x600, I think?).

I used ICQ on it and its interface was about as awkward as Skype's is today -- except today I'm running Skype on a laptop with about twice the screen estate. It's a little silly that all that research work in the industry -- and all that money I've paid -- went into screens that I now use just to display more whitespace.

I know it's supposed to help with touch screens but a) my laptop -- like most laptops currently in use -- doesn't have one and b) this isn't 1997 anymore, UI toolkits today make it trivial to adjust element sizes and paddings so that they're appropriate to whatever pointing device is currently in use.

Well, the mistake there is to not try and convince your teams they're doing what they do because it's the 'right thing' or that they're the "best" and he's proud of them, or whatever whatever non-monetary incentive one can think of that often is surprisingly effective.

I haven't used VR devices too much but I believe the wiggling that you see in VR demos is not present when actually using the device. The device is simply adjusting the perspective to match your head motion and so the actual user is not seeing the wiggling but in the demo it appears that the view is wiggling to the watcher.

But I agree that wiggling is off putting. I think VR demos should low-pass filter the output to some degree to give a more realistic perception of what VR is like.
The playing field is buying power, measured in dollars.

The dollars earned from a person(entity) selling a bond to the Fed at a price that only the Fed would buy are new to the money supply. The dollars earned from a person selling hours of labor in to the labor market are subject to other market forces and are harder to come by, as evidenced by the fact that most people don't have 4-6 times the wages or savings that they did back when the Fed's balance sheet was ~800 Billion in US Treasuries, 12-13 years ago.

Inflation isn't steady, it's lumpy, which makes the playing field lumpy.

Time series DB maybe?
No. Putting an object in a compact region is more than just copying. It's also evaluating the data and making it immutable. Remember Haskell values are lazy, and therefore by default mutable. (Laziness is mutability, and evaluation is replacing the thunk by the normal form of data.)
CoreFoundation is in no way deprecated.
You can hype up the craft all you want, but none of the models got anywhere close to what we're seeing in reality (look at the estimated number of hospital beds in the IHME model, for example). How can you explain that without admitting that the models were based on poor assumptions and/or data?
The ideas that "culture is a matter of individual experience" and that "there was no dichotomy to begin with and nothing to deny" seem to affirm the postmodern idea from my POV. That's basically what they argue.

By contrast, many Modernist philosophers believed that human history moved inexorably towards more-just society or that human knowledge moved towards perfect understanding of all phenomena.

Edit: not sure I understand what you mean when you say "The pattern is much broader that postmodernism claims it to be. "; the project of postmodernism is in part to show that there is no pattern.

I'm not sure why TweetNaCl is even considered a serious crypto library. I guess that it can fit in tweets, but this is an optimization that is at best irrelevant at worst a bad software engineering practice.

Re malleability: instead of just thinking about this issue in an abstract way, I recommend writing an exploit. For example, Tink doesn't check R or A at all, try to see if you can produce a new signature from an existing one by modifying R or A as you said.
I wonder if a separate camera for pancake with a larger FOV would help, with the translation (e: and rotation) matrix lowpass-filtered from user orientation.

As a species we need to stay in groups and take care of our sick. We traveled vast distances by foot and sought out our own kind.

To equivocate, I did hear about ancient ruins of villages in China where unknown strains of plague were unearthed, before this COVID-19 stuff. I assume these then became cursed villages that no one visited.

It does, and the prefix is only there because C's namespacing isn't great.

For this sort of thing: download a zip, open the zip from your browser's download panel and then have the app move itself to /Applications when you open the extracted app is a much nicer flow that is semi-widespread.
Are the same pieces of meat involved?

Lots of grocery store meat that you buy "fresh" was killed x number of days ago.

If a dog eats raw meat within a few hours of it being killed, it's a big difference.

How did I come to this opinion? Try freezing a super market steak a few days before the "expiration date." Then unfreeze it a few days after the expiration date.

You'll notice a rancid smell immediately upon cooking.

> cheaper workers work for less, but that's not exactly efficiency

It is efficiency, really, because it's making better use of an underutilized resource. Over time, of course, the price of labor evens out because the resource is no longer underutilized.

> more a question of fairness

If it's fairness you want, telling companies to hire locally isn't going to cut it. That's the opposite of fairness, really—you would be subsidizing local workers whose wages are already higher at the expense of foreign labor that has more need for the income.

> Another potential advantage could be, factories are closer to natural resources, but it seems to me that that's not as much a question of efficiency, as it is of lax (enforcement of) environmental standards.

Locating factories near their required materials is a net gain even when ideal environmental standards are maintained. It's almost always cheaper (economically and environmentally) to ship end products where they need to go than it would be to ship raw materials around to distributed factories. Concentrating manufacturing in one area also makes it easier to confine the environmental impact.
I think the point is that they're upfront about it, so you can treat the communication as though it were public (which is a pretty good default assumption for communicating on the internet in general).

I'm one of those people that refuses to accept that "privacy is dead"; but there's also a lot of casual/low-stakes communication that I treat like a personal conversation in an IRL public setting, operating on the assumption that a stranger can/will overhear it.

Since Oculus Quest doesn't support SteamVR on Linux (AFAIK; they might have added support), not directly.

We'd have to implement a Godot VR interface for the Quest. If they have Linux support at all, this should be doable.
