Like others have said - it's Apple's privacy policy, they don't know enough about you and can't use the recordings to train.

I think Apple should have been more honest about it in their privacy messaging -

>Same arguments as the metric system that's been great everywhere for such a long time.

The biggest argument against the metric system is that it would cost trillions to retool all factories etc. to metric.

Secondarily, countries like Canada and the UK aren't 100% metric and use a weird sort of Frankenstein system (i.e. Brits measuring body weight in "stone"). And if anything that's worse than one or the other

>you're delusional to think that the western intelligence agencies provided anything more than a spark to pre-existing fuel.

Sad state of historical knowledge that pointing out that western intelligence and corps pumped a large % of the world's drugs through this port for many decades is considered trolling.

If China started funding the alt-right, I guess your quote would apply here in the US as well, correct? Just a "spark"?
The thing with differential forms is that (to me) they look a bit magical (why those sign changes? why alternate?). Only when thinking of volume forms do you begin to understand it (the determinant being the paradigm of volume element, etc.).

I think some grassmannian computations would be good in this context but, on the other hand, they would become very cumbersome very soon.

As someone says below: Spivak's Differential Calculus on Manifolds is exceptionally good.
It really comes off as amateur. I have other things to do with my time than reverse-engineer your code.

I don’t see why that requires a cartel. Even business-to-business, the administrative/legal overhead of smaller orders implies that, for fixed per unit profits, prices of smaller orders go up.

Business-to-consumer, order size gets smaller, and consumer protection laws come into the picture, further increasing prices.

Is there even _anything_ that you can get in small wholesale/retail at prices lower than double of what companies ordering by the shipload pay?

Edit: consumer electronics might be an exception.

> It couldn't have hurt to use and example of "22/05/2020"; then it is still infuriating, but clear.

Assuming you're addressing OP with this part, I think that was their point.

When an application presents you with "04/05/2020", you have no way of knowing whether it means crazy American dates or normal-people dates.
One problem that I have with OCR is dealing with images of pages that are warped. I have some books that I would like to turn into electronic books, but not enough to justify setting up a book scanning rig (framework, two cameras, platen, etc). Setting up a document camera is fairly easy, but using it to take pictures of a book laying flat on the base produces images where the pages are warped and most OCR software seems to have problems with warped pages.

After a fair amount of searching I found ScanTailor: https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced#scan-tailor-adv... which seems to have the capability of dealing with warped page images. I haven't actually gone through the complete workflow with it yet, but it seems to be a very capable OCR package.
There are huge swaths of Americans who will literally not know what 17:00 translates to in AM/PM. And even for the Americans that do know, virtually all of them (unless they are in the military or another profession that commonly uses 24h time), will have to "translate" by subtracting 12 in their head for PM times.

24h time is extremely rare in everyday use in the US.

I suppose this is a good and a bad thing. It's good in a sense that if remote companies wish to attract better talent, they just have to out-pay Facebook.

I'm not sure gauge integrals are really "the most general integral". As you say, it doesn't work as well as the Lebesgue integral in multidimensional settings, does it? It also needs a bit of a tweak to give you the analogue of Stieltjes integration so you can unify sums and integrals, I believe.
There's a dead comment that seems pretty revealing in terms of the review process:

SmallPeePeeMan 13 hours ago [dead] [–]

I’m an extension reviewer at adding.mozilla.org. Extensions that request certain permissions are manually reviewed. Others are automatically approved. Recommend extensions are ALWAYS manually reviewed for each update.

I'm curious what the _manual review_ process looks like. There are so many questions that come to mind: Is it a single person or multiple individuals reviewing the extension? Does it require the reviewer to be familiar with the code base of the extension? Wouldn't that be a significant burden, or are these reviews cursory? Do the reviews take 10 minutes? 30 minutes? days? Is the review documented? Can the review be public? Do they review the source code on github/gitlab/etc or are they reviewing the submitted file(s)?
If this is some sort of hit piece it’s not a good one. It doesn’t color my opinion of him at all. It’s more of a human interest story.
Hi gang. I've just started a newsletter that focuses on discussing techniques for building better software and being more effective in high growth companies. I'm doing this for a couple of reasons. 1) I love writing, and it's a creative outlet. 2) I think it's a sorely under-discussed topic.

Yeah, I always think of 12 as really just 0. So 12:00AM = 0:00AM is midnight (precedes 1:00AM by an hour) and 12:00PM is 0:00PM (which precedes 1:00PM).

Honestly, if I exercise my imagination a little bit and try to remember what it was like to live in a city which didn’t have jobs from most of the “big tech” companies, I would have loved to see a greater variety of job opportunities without being asked to move to SF/Seattle/NYC etc. It would have meant that I could get career growth and keep my friends and support network.

I think a fair question to ask is: "How many of the people borrowing these "buzzy" titles" would actually go out and buy a copy if they couldn't borrow it?"

Given the article's claim that very few are actually reading it when they can borrow it for free, the answer is likely very few.

People who wish to cast the issue as one of lost revenue would like to think that every one of those "borrowers" in the queue represents a lost sale. The NEL is in a position to provide some data that doesn't directly refute that claim, but certainly suggests that it's wildly overblown.
Bill gates thinks every life is worth the same. Perhaps that makes him a better man than I. He has given more to charity than anyone in history (while getting others to do similliar.) He warned everyone about the pandemic risk long before it came knocking. You might be using his software right now. I really don't know what more a man could be to do be "good." Than Bill gates has done.

Beyond just "giving" more money to help people, I think he's given an insane amount of his personal time and effort as well. Basically, if you don't like what this man has been doing lately, I think it says a lot more about you than he. We should all aspire to have even 1/1000th the positive impact he's had.

Biggest LFP cell makers have many factories the size of Elon's ones, and they all quietly omit their output figures for non-consumer cell businesses because... taxmen.

LFP manufacturing has been ridiculously profitable from 2010 to 2015, so even hand made cell shops were making millionaires.

Now, the party is over. Big manufacturers have crashed the margins using giant state handouts.

You could get a turnkey LFP cell line running in a garage for around $2600k-$3000k, but the time of good margins is over.

To make LFP under $100 per kwh, and still make money, you need 20-30+ lines, but with such volumes the only buyers will be EV companies, and we are back to square one with this.

You can still operate on garage scale, and try push your cells on online auctions, like many, many small makers still do, and live off small bites of distributor margins.

But you will be doing this knowing that you truly live in the shadow of biggest manufacturers, who, or whose distributors will start poaching your clients once you get big enough for them to get wind of you.
From my understanding it was a great marketing tool that never found it's footing due to complexity and cost. All of the real world applications for it just didn't justify the price IBM would be charging with the lock in.

> They'd have to raise prices to cover fixed costs and then have even fewer customers.

That's the part where government officials do their job and figure the best way to solve this. Subsidize regional staple foods, community farms, fix prices for some type of foods... The government doesn't actually have to have the food in warehouses, it only has to guarantee that you'll be able to buy healthy X/calories a day with those $300.

Maybe put out a weekly menu, with sources of cheap food?

For UBI to work as intended the government has to act as a guarantor that you'll be able to buy everything that UBI was meant to buy. Or else big daddy capital man will just find a way to consume those pennies and UBI becomes UB-bye.

No matter the amount of taxes, profit will still exist. The rich will still be rich. The rich can still do what they do. The difference is that they can't take from the poor. They have to do what capitalism really is about: provide value so that the market will pay you.
In the real London it is not entirely uncommon to find yourself in a conversation with American tourists where they're asking/complaining about "military time" on train timetables. The odd thing about it being most platforms have a countdown-style timer much like you'd find in a US metro system.

I understand that sometimes they're just trying to interact with locals while on vacation, but it always seems like an odd starter. Depending on my mood you'll get a friendly chat about time displays¹, or a curt "it says 2 minutes 'til next train".

My gut feel would be that if Facebook continued paying same rate even though people weren't in the bay area anymore that nobody would ever be able to compete and therefore the retention would be much longer.
Even something like $1000/year for every citizen will be significant enough to affect lives of some people.

Let me restate, "X has influence to change things & many people don't like the change". Trump & Gates both change things. Plenty of people also do/did not like Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush. Plenty of people also like (& don't like) Trump & Gates...One only needs to look at the approval rating. If any one of these people were universally liked, wouldn't their approval ratings be 90%+?
You can't see whom a text message is addressed to (besides the phone number, but that's obviously wrong here) if you don't actually read the text message. And if you get a letter that's not addressed to anyone but has your address on it, then it's obviously okay for you to open it.
