The problem with a story-by-story payment model is that it incentivizes publishers to focus on the headlines. It's also a bit tricky because people will only click on things that reflect what they want to hear. So even if an article is really well done, if it says something the majority of the population does not want to hear, good journalism will still die.

For an example, consider the Boston Globe's reporting of the child abuse cases in the Catholic Church [1]. There are many who violently disagree with the premise, so much so that they actively refuse to read or inform themselves about it. And you're expecting them to pay for it?

I'm also curious if there are any lessons learned from iTunes / Apple when they first started making individual songs in an album available for sale. Why buy an album of 12-15 songs for 10.99 when you can buy just those two good songs for 99c each? Do those artists still receive more sales? Is the overall effect more income for the music industry, or less?

> The part I like: the linearity in IQ vs ability is driven by the low end. People who have cognitive challenges cannot complete the test and cannot perform the task. At the high end the correlation disappears.

If this were true you would expect the average IQ of really accomplished individuals to be 110. But this isn't the case, if you look at Supreme Court Justices, scientists, CEO's they all have average IQs higher than what would be expected if IQ only correlated at the low end.
>For more than a century, advertising was an art, not a science. Hard data didn’t exist. An advertising guru of the Don Draper type proclaimed: "What you call love was invented by guys like me to sell nylons" – and advertisers could only hope it was true.

Man... one of these days I'll poke my eyes out if a read this Don Draper quote again on a online article about advertising...

It's not the quote itself, it's the lack of context when/how/whom behind that quote.

At best that quote can be used in the context: "The shit advertisers say to try to hook a whale (big account)".

Yet journalists use it like it was the wet dream motivates advertisers, that are so delusional and naive to believe it...

Money is generated as a form of basic income but only for chartered banks.

Money supply is generated by banks creating debt on balance sheets while giving out loans of money they don't actually have (fractional reserve banking) and the same story between these banks and regional government proxy federal banks.
Note that our new official Redux Toolkit package [0] simplifies most Redux use cases and logic, including eliminating the need to write action creators and action types by hand and allowing "mutating" immutable update logic in reducers. The React-Redux hooks API [1] is also generally simpler to use than `connect`. We're now recommending that people use RTK as the default approach for Redux apps [2], and I'm working on a new set of tutorials that will teach RTK and React-Redux hooks as the standard approach [3].

It's nice when they're built in, sure. But gcc is pretty easy to build on its own.
If it benefits the software developer and this is what allows their business to work, then that benefits you. If it didn't then you wouldn't have the app.
As I recall, Chisel is a very shallowly embedded HDL, which is completely different from the approach used by Clash. Clash is a subset of Haskell that is directly compiled to a hardware representation, which has some unique advantages and disadvantages. One big advantage of Clash's approach is that you can code from any regular Haskell library as long as the code is within the subset of Haskell supported by Clash. E.g. you could import `Linear.V3` and have access to a 3-dimensional vector type with all the operators and stuff already defined, and this would compile to hardware no problem.

It turns out that Haskell's non-strict semantics are a shockingly close match for the semantics of hardware (the only difference I'm aware of being pretty obscure, having to do with zero-width busses).

I'm not sure what quality of actionable advice you're expecting here when literally all the info we have is that you are in a rural area with bad internet choices. Carrier availability and regulations differ on a town by town, county by county basis across the US creating a huge spread of potential issues and solutions in the one country alone, and you could be anywhere in the globe. Rural Kentucky is not the same as rural Ontario is not the same as rural Kenya. And, it's likely not a good idea to share a set of personal GPS coordinates with the internet on the hopes that someone might happen to be familiar with your local situation. Maybe it's possible to pay to have a line run, maybe it's not, maybe it'll cost 20 million bucks.

Maybe there's a WISP initiative, maybe there's satellite, maybe you could use mobile data. Or maybe you're just in one of those broadband dead zones in the country that just don't have internet options and won't get any in the near future because of regulatory capture, apathetic political leaders, and the unfortunate reality that poor rural communities really don't matter to politicians with the power to change the regulations to allow for a better internet to come there. Even in south Carolina, a state that matters an awful lot every four years because of the primary there, so many areas have no good internet and no options because nobody cares after the election is over. If you're in one of those areas, your only option is to create a mini political revolution, move away, or just deal with it.
We have about 170 servers in a colo about 30 minutes from my home. I can go months without going to the colo. Usually when I go out there it is to replace a disk.

We have a bunch of hardware coming up on end of life. I looked at moving us to cloud. The new hardware will cost about what 3 years of AWS would cost. Considering that the hardware I am replacing is over 6 years old, we are better off sticking with on-prem.
This is the problem with AMD's intentionally misleading marketing. The Ryzen 5 3400G is an APU with a Zen+ CPU. The CPU core that's actually good, that everybody wants, is the Zen2. The Zen+ is pretty slow. It has performance comparable to $99 Intel CPUs from last year.
I think Keybase pivoted to add more features besides the web of trust functionality. That said I think there's definitely potential in using Handshake as an identity solution. ie If I own my username on Handshake I can point github.username to my github, twitter.username to twitter, etc. It's pretty easy to do with redirects
This a perfect example of how mythical history of the left totally distorts peoples view of history.

Kellogg also burned girls clitoris away because he was against masturbation. Other then he had incredibly toxic fights about the right to the IP and broke his relation with his brother. Clearly he didn't care about profits.

Also a single example doesn't prove that things were structurally different. There are tons of companies now that exist with different goals.

DataGrip does support multiple cursors, I've never done the parameterized queries but I will have to look into that. Buying the entire Jetbrains suite was one of the best decisions I made when I switched jobs and lost my old license. IDEA/Datagrip save me so much time, when I worked it out I couldn't pay for them fast enough.
That's unfortunate. I assume Zoom would have no interest in open sourcing the server software now that they've paid for the cryptographic expertise and code, but I think the previous owners might have been willing to... surprised they never did, maybe they decided they'd never get bought if they did.

A shame, it seemed to work really well. Maybe Zoom will be willing to take my money to be a DropBox end-to-end encrypted cloud sync service instead, they seem to be fairly on the ball with responding to complaints and that they decided it was worth buying Keybase to improve their service maybe they'll come out alright.

Wishful thinking maybe =)

There is a paradox here that while it's not important for you to know about 99.99% of the things that happen and are reported in the news, the fact that people are paying attention disincentivizes people in government from doing bad things in the extreme.

So it's not the news that you consume that improves your life, it's the news you never have to consume that improves your life.
The cons are legitimate concerns, but compared to the plausible alternatives I still don't think they're too bad.

Assuming a reasonable implementation in browsers, WA code should still be significantly safer to run than installing native applications locally on almost any major desktop OS, since there is a sandbox model in place for the in-browser code but the desktop OSes all have relatively open and crude security models that are 20+ years past their use-by date.

We already have plenty of malware-like scripts written in JS trying to fingerprint you, steal your processing power to mine Bitcoin, trick you into entering sensitive data in the wrong place or otherwise exploit you, so I don't see that WA is particularly likely to be worse in that respect. It's not great, but we should fix these things by tightening the security models for all downloaded code; it's not a problem specific to one language.

The barrier to exploration by curious learners is a significant drawback, for sure. Plenty of people have learned basic programming skills by examining interesting websites over the years. But again, even in JS, usually you just get some obfuscated, minified bundle these days unless a site is specifically leaving natural JS for visitors to read as tutorial sites sometimes do, so again I'm not sure we're losing anything that wasn't already getting lost anyway.
The Open-Closed Principle, in review (2013)
> "And what's left is being automated as fast as humanly possible."

More likely, the low hanging fruit of automation has already been plucked bare and the rest will require a century or more to figure out. I certainly don't expect an automated plumber or meat processing worker anytime soon.
We’re living in fear. Either herd immunity works or it doesn’t. If it does, end lockdown, take our lumps, and move forward. If it doesn’t, and lockdown, take our lumps, and move forward. Otherwise we’re living a half life where we slowly die from lack of resources.
When light squared was shut down for messing with gps frequencies in their satellite network, the military did not say that light^2 was actually broadcasting outside of the expected frequency band. The deal is that the military just doesn’t use filters on most of their broadcast and reception equipment so their operating frequency is actually way wider than they say publicly.

This is because filters cost money and reduce the effectiveness of the broadcast system. If you could get away with operating over a much wider spectrum for any service, you probably would.

This is why when the military says “this interferes with gps even though it’s outside of the gps band were supposed to be using” what they mean is that they are using a much wider band of spectrum than what’s in the specs.

Ultimately, the fcc doesn’t have regulatory authority over the dod.
Such an order wouldn't be legally binding outside of federally controlled facilities (and perhaps air and sea ports). For better or worse, US states remain sovereign entities.
Intel Hardware Telemetry with Tiger Lake
20% of the cold is not one corona virus; it's several. A vaccine for the cold would have to handle most of them, along with the other 80% that are noroviruses. Vaccinating against one strain of the cold doesn't do you much good when there are maybe 100 of them.

Covid-19, on the other hand, is a much simpler target, just because it's one target. (Yeah, they're talking about different strains emerging. I don't know if they have drifted too far to be covered by one vaccine, though. Even if they have, three to five strains is still much simpler than the cold.) So there is more hope for a vaccine than you are saying. (That doesn't mean that I think we're going to see one next week. Maybe not even this year.)

As for testing: We either need to test everyone, then quarantine everyone who's sick and trace their contacts, or else we need to test everybody, frequently. I don't see either of those happening very soon.
Yes, I think the idea behind notebooks like Jupyter came from Mathematica. Many people believe that Mathematica would have been huge if it had been open sourced. Now it's probably too late. For example, you can use many kernels with Jupyter, not only Python, so it's a very flexible interface.

I enjoy toy models, either simplified equations or computational models like CA. I even made a toy model for the spread of corona virus, so I can look at the effects of isolation, death rate, etc. on the spread of infection, and to give my students something to play with during isolation: https://lee-phillips.org/corona/
But I don't claim that this is a serious epidemiological model. Like CAs and the like, I'm hoping that it is fun to play with and might, just possibly, lead to some insight or new idea. But then that new hypothesis would have to be studied using a more serious model.
I don’t think weapons of mass destruction is comparable. More like a security vulnerability for the mind. You can no longer be sure its a human on the other side.
My understanding of this is that the company wants to use L band, which is the designation for the range of frequencies in the radio spectrum from 1 to 2 gigahertz (GHz)

Doesn't 5G use higher frequency than that?

Is the company, a satellite company, trying to use their satellites to provide 5G or something? So if the interference starts at the satellites, it could affect other parts of the world?

>“We have presented to the FCC a proposal to utilize our terrestrial midband spectrum as a greenfield opportunity that is aligned with the commission’s stated goals of providing the foundation of the 5G future,” explained Doug Smith, Ligado president and CEO. “By deploying 40 megahertz of smart capacity on midband spectrum, we can create a model of at least a partial 5G network — a next-generation, hybrid satellite-terrestrial network — that will enable 5G use cases and mobile applications that require ultra-reliable, highly secure and pervasive connectivity.”
This should be easy for you to test. Play the game you want, at the settings you want. If the cpu is running at 100%, get a faster CPU; if it's not, get a faster GPU.

That show's first season gives an excellent picture of how interconnected technology is and how ideas spread and combine. The surprising connections are analogous to the cascading failures we see in other systems. Well worth a watch.
I like to think incentives matter, always have and always will.

TV had "viewers", but how many were changing the channel during commercials?

Newspapers had "circulation", but how many were sitting in hotel hallways or mulching on driveways?

Direct mail had "addresses", but how many of those were left on the side of the road or tossed straight into the trash?

Radio had "listeners", but nobody believed those numbers anyway.

Etc.

Speaking of, by far the most popular "videos" on YouTube are music videos. How many of their so-called watch time metrics are actually people listening to music while they work? For me that's several hours a day.

So yeah, the crazy thing to me is how poor of a job our society has done at teaching people how to think for themselves.

INCENTIVES MATTER!

You're probably not far off. For the Redux case, that statement almost certainly means using at least one top-level Context Provider along with `useContext` in consuming components to replace or avoid the use of a Redux store and `connect`.
I think if everyone had enough to live most people would still work, but they would be a lot less willing to put up with things like bad bosses, crappy hours, being understaffed and all the other things we generally dislike about our jobs. Employers would have to rise to the occasion if the need for the job was lessened.
Entrepreneurship is not solving problems. Solving problems is a means to an end, but rarely is the end a problem.

I am not sure I understand what you mean. I will give an example of what I mean by an "entrepreneur solving problems".

Example: In the industry I work in you need about 5-7 digital tools to run a business. Currently this industry is very fragmented. So each tool is made by a different sub-division in the industry. The result is that tools don't "talk to each other". There's lots of unnecessary additional steps between tools as a result of "not talking to each other". I would define the "problem" as lack of integration. Solving the problem would be integration.

Forgive me but I don't know about Frank Zappa. Are you saying he's an entrepreneur because he's a musician? And therefore all musicians are entrepreneurs? Or are you saying he stands out as an entrepreneur (while most musicians are just musicians)?
Tangential: I think many platforms that GCC supports and the kind of optimisation GCC provides might make it a superior choice for projects. For those developers its exciting. Also if an existing project is using it for a long-time and has not intentions of switching to Clang, for them too this would be interesting.
Thank you!

It does? My belief, though I have no facts to back it up, is that some of people (but not all) would feel bad taking charity. For some people knowing they are effectively taking from others bothers them.
I've seen this behavior in companies before: the measurements will continue until the desired result is obtained.

The thing is I am not sure a large percentage of advertisers are aware of such things and adjust their expectations.

I know it's not new stuff, go look at Bluespec and their open-source HDL.

For most hardware designers though, it is new. Most hardware designers are EEs and not CS people. I know many designers that do not even want to learn a programming language like python which has a relatively easy to read syntax. ML/Functional Programming languages require a completely different mindset, just like hardware designing does if you come from programming languages.

I think the world is ripe for a new HDL. But the right foundations need to be there. It needs first class support with existing HDLs (VHDL, Verilog/SV). It needs to integrate with all the existing EDA tools in mixed language environments, and be easy to debug. Debugging is a huge problem in the "new HDL" space right now. Go look at Chisel. Google used it to design some of if not all of their TPU, but their Verif engineers had a really difficult time with the debug because it compiled to verilog, and then was difficult to reason about.

I have so many thoughts on this space and I want to make it better. It would be an absolute dream to develop a new HDL that enabled Hardware designers and Verif engineers to have all the superpowers that SWEs have in today's world. Being both proficient in various programming languages and Verilog/SV/UVM/etc, its so wild to see how big of a gap there is in productivity tools. Essentially SWEs have all the good stuff.

They get smarter every year. As I've posted before, my niece and nephew are automation engineers, moving from plant to plant like migrant workers, automating the hell out of everything and anything.

It's not a case of 'can we'. Its only limited by the cost, which is a fixed upfront value. If the market is big enough, then that cost can be amortized. As America grows, more and more processes are entering the magic size where automation pays.

When somebody says they "Brought the factories and jobs back to America!" they're lying. They brought the factory back, but only because automation-at-home is cheaper than hand-labor-overseas.
