Your problem is with the ownership model. Good luck.

So long as more people provide a market to have their agency bought for an ever lower price... you’ll have that.

To their models we’re replaceable cogs, so long as the correct stats are up wtf do they care?

This isn't what I was asking. You're changing the argument now to try and claim that Trump's tweets would have increased scrutiny on mail-in voting, when in reality most states have had mail-in voting before the Trump presidency and has seen low levels of voter fraud.

You're trying to do a post-hoc justification in attempt to rationalize Trump's tweets rather than answer my argument. I'll ask you again: Where's the voter fraud data showing that vote by mail causes a massive amount of fraud?
So long as people's value functions have a directional bias in hyperdimensional value-space, the averaged value function embodied by the upvote-downvote tendencies is useful.

(If there were no bias- if people's opinions/tendenfies varied equally likely between all possibilities- all comment scores would be 0. Of course, practically survivor bias soon sets in, as radical suicide advocates wouldn't stick around long enough to like/dislike much.)

I didn’t say there’s zero voter fraud. I said his tweet, which suggests that more mail in ballots will lead to “substantial fraud” is false.

That said, perhaps “unsubstantiated” is a better description.
If you have an MSP - and if you are a small company they can pay for themselves just by being able to get bulk discounts by coming under their organization - they will offer you one and you can get reimbursed via AWS credits.
Not if your "database" is something like SQLite. That is preferable to most alternatives, if you actually want to manipulate data.

If the blog is not much more than a .PLAN file, sure is overkill. But having access to a DB and programming language opens up a few possibilities – and cleaner code compared to hacking some bash scripts doing text manipulation magic.

Now, starting with a database from day zero? I'd say it is a case of YAGNI. Don't add stuff you don't need now. If you need it in the future, then add it. But don't go paying for a hosted DB if a SQLite would suffice.

Oh, and even then, a database would be more useful for the site generation step. Having a DB being called for every page rendered is a recipe for going down with HN traffic (or Slashdot in the older days).

No, if you have power you get to decide the rule.

When you have become one of the de-facto news sources for a sizable portion of the population, it does sort of become your job.

Whether it’s good that they have become a news source or not is a valid question. But right now, they are, and I think preserving the president’s tweets seems like a pretty easily defensible decision. Even if it is also (or primarily) motivated by their own business interests.
you can easily tell, it's a react app. if you've developed react apps. subtle data rendering bugs.
Yeah, this administration failing to move the conversation/information dissemination to government-run platforms is mindblowing to me. Setup a Syncloud node and have the President tell everyone to follow him on Diaspora. Get high-profile supporters (Kanye) to parrot the message and also cross-post their content. Trump has incredible reach and influence as a social media personality (witness HK protesters carrying Trump/Rocky meme images), but he is failing himself by staying beholden to obviously-hostile private platforms.

Remember when the press wanted to stop the President's daily briefings?[1] He should have used that opportunity to setup a podcast or video stream system, minus the press, who are 90% bad faith actors anyway. "America, hear what I have to say, unfiltered by the talking heads at CNN! Just download the WhiteHouseNews app!" etc....

> The units are missing

> The student came up and wrote 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/6.

Units in your example are unclear. Also results interpretation depend on question.

Here is my example:

Student should wrote 2 articles, but wrote 1 of 3 pages for the 1st article and 1 of 3 pages for the 2nd article.

Q: How many pages student wrote? - A: 2/6.

Q: What part of the whole task is done? - A: 1/3.

Q: How many tasks partially completed? - A: 2/2.

Q: How many tasks fully completed? - A: 0/2.
“The facts” on mail-in ballots are mostly opinions though. It’s presumptuous of a tech company to insert themselves into public discourse to correct what they perceive as wrongthink, and it invites a dangerous situation where a few tech companies can enforce discourse that suits their political biases. Just because people may agree with them in this case doesn’t make it a good idea long term. To me this looks like a slippery slope into fascism.
I joke with my kids that it’s snitches get ditches to amp up the nonsense level.

> I disagree, giving certain folks a platform only raises them up and legitimatizes them.

Who do you believe should have final say over which person or group of people can have a platform, and who can't?

Should it be whoever owns that particular platform? Should it be the government? Should it be the court of public opinion? I've yet to see a compelling argument for deplatforming that answers this question, because what is acceptable to society has large grey areas that are constantly shifting. I think the intentions are nothing but wonderful - I'm very glad that communities like those in the report you cited, and many similar ones, no longer exist on Reddit. The problem as I see it is that censorship lowers visibility of hate speech very effectively, but if anything seems to strengthen people's convictions that they are right about what they believe. Hateful subreddits may disappear, but is that clear evidence that the people that participated in them changed their minds about what they had expressed online? I find that conclusion dubious at best.

I see this issue most strongly with conspiracy theorists, which seem to be a dime a dozen in 2020. Censorship is nothing if not evidence that what someone is saying is true - see the recent "Plandemic" viral video as a great example.

Deplatforming is, like I said, well-intentioned, but like so many "solutions" it is obsessed with the symptom of the disease, not the cause. It is based on the very old but very wrong notion that 'if only everyone believed what I believe, all the world would be at peace'. That notion is the cornerstone of religious dogma and has been the justification for religious conversion, forcible or otherwise, for millennia. There are proven ways to moderate people's beliefs through civil discourse. The issue is that it is so time consuming, unsatisfying, and thankless (not to mention that you don't get to play moral superiority games) that I'm not surprised people would rather just throw down the banhammer instead.
The real world doesn't work like children playing word games at recess. "It was technically just a prediction because I was talking about the future and therefore it's impossible to make any judgements about what I said" just doesn't play in the real world.

I don't think the quote meant that "modern medicine currently has a flaw/double-standard/whatever about what it considers alternative medicine" just as there is no flaw (necessarily) in what is considered AI. I think it says that many of tomorrow's treatments are considered fringe today since they have not yet been fully examined.

As long as pain and death exist our medical knowledge is incomplete. That doesn't mean it isn't the best we have or that the process isn't the best we are capable of, it just means the job isn't done (or, in some cases, mistakes or oversights occurred).

The saying is also intentionally provocative, and in my interpretation is meant to promote curiosity and open-mindedness rather than an interest in any specific alternative therapy.

An example of an alternative therapy gone mainstream (among many others in the thread that I think fit) is folic acid supplementation for those who many become pregnant. It was not universally practiced even after some physicians had linked it to spina bifida prevention (this is my layman's understanding of history, not medical advice or judgment): https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/106/4/825

I would say many alternative therapies revolve around some supplement or another. Only rarely does the medical community agree that it is of high importance (if they do, again, I'm not a doctor I might be very wrong) and the previously alternative therapy become mainstream.
I think this would be a good thing to try -- hopefully it will remove one barrier to subscription the fear that you'll be paying every month whether you use it or not.

The popular vote has never mattered, and Americans have never changed that, despite having a couple of centuries of ample opportunity to do so.
It's not an opinion, it's a statement. Therein lies the rub.

There is no reasonable interpretation of "There is NO WAY (ZERO!)" to mean "there may possibly be".

Lots of companies trying to build low-code solutions to help business people glue systems together. However, for pretty much all of these solutions, while the end user isn't writing code, they are forced to think like a programmer - if/else, loops etc.

We are taking a very different approach.

We've built a transform engine that can be trained on transforming data from a source structure to a destination structure using a few (10s) of examples of source and destination. We can do this transformation without falling into the trap of figuring out acceptable confidence levels - a trap that most ML systems fall into, and thus have a hard time with enterprise usage.

We couple that with dynamic, configurable integration infrastructure ("connectors" in old school enterprise speak) that can send+receive data to/from lots of systems over many protocols and serialization systems.

End result is that end users can connect systems together with a few clicks and by providing a few lines fo training examples, not unlike what a business person would give a dev and say "extract a CSV from SAP and put it in that FTP folder. the CSV needs to look like this file"
Lots of operations research, planning, optimization, and control theory came out of funding streams that were very much in the auspices of Artificial Intelligence. In most universities, "Artificial Intelligence" is still the name of the course where Computer Science students first encounter everything related to OR, optimization, planning, etc.

It's only since 2013 or so that AI = ML = DL.

> if not for the absence of calculation-by-machine, Isaac Newton and Archimedes would have been doing AI.

From the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on Leibniz's Philosophy of the Mind [1]:

"He believed that such a language would perfectly mirror the processes of intelligible human reasoning. It is this plan that has led some to believe that Leibniz came close to anticipating artificial intelligence. At any rate, Leibniz's writings about this project (which, it should be noted, he never got the chance to actualize) reveal significant insights into his understanding of the nature of human reasoning. This understanding, it turns out, is not that different from contemporary conceptions of the mind, as many of his discussions bear considerable relevance to discussions in the cognitive sciences."

There are multiple types of "uniqueness". Two might be:

1. Individually unique, i.e. is this new *for you?*
2. Globally unique, i.e. is it new *for everyone?*

But the only important one is uniqueness within your industry or stategic group (à la Michael Porter)

This is shown in studies that examine how designers reach "creative" solutions. If 10 people are given the same brief, half might propose the same idea, even though they each believe "it's unique" and "no-one else will think of this".

But that's not a bad thing! It's proof of progress with exploring the problem space. What was the core idea they're trying to fix? If you drop all your assumptions, what other solutions can you come up with?

"Creative" and "unique" ideas are always a synthesis of existing technologies or processes. What is stale in one industry may be unique in another, and vice versa.

Your customer segment wants to do something. Your product (whatever it is) will provide value insofar as it helps them achieve this "job". The more value, the better.

Consider the following equation:

What + How = Value

If you know your customers (and you should!), then you know what "value" they want. You just need to solve for the what and how.

Work with "frames". Fix a specific part – like "what" or "how" – and think about what can fill the gap.

<Directory of dog walker contacts> + How = <Healthy dog>

What + <an app> = <Healthy Dog>

This is a form of abductive reasoning. This is how we believe creative people optimise complex systems – there is a combinatorial explosion of possible solutions (when combining existing things), but this gives us a way to work through them.

This is overly simplified, but I hope it gives some direction!

It's easy to say "there has to be something between the best customer service and things like letting shitting "AI" ban accounts" as an armchair hackernews user.

But maybe, there isn't, currently. Maybe there simply isn't a solution at the scale of companies like Google.

If you are omitting the units, it would be a fair assumption that the values all belong to the same unit, unless stated otherwise. You're representing the fractions related to each other and you can't do that if the fractions are of two separate things.

I could say that 1+1 = 2 or 1+1 = 10 but it wouldn't be right to say that 1+1=2 && 1+1=10 because while both are true if we're talking about decimals and binary, we're omitting the units and everything loses its' meaning if we do that.
"We didn't mean to turn it on YET"
(1994).

The article is a story, about how Roger Hui (who with Kenneth E. Iverson developed the programming language J), set about finding the 10 billionth prime: by the Prime Number Theorem it should be about 10^10*log(10^10) which is less than 270 billion, so he split the range into 270 parts, and had each of several machines pick up one part and sieve that billion-number range (to count the number of primes), a million integers at a time. After 20 hours (on 60-70 workstations) he had the counts, so knew the exact million-integer range in which the prime occurred, from which the 10 billionth prime turns out to be either 252,097,800,629 (with 2 as the 0th prime) or 252,097,800,623 (with 2 as the 1st prime).

After doing this, he was able to correct an off-by-one count in a table in a printed book, but the real moral of the story is that this is of course a poor way to compute the nth prime for large n: it has been known since the 1800s how to quickly compute pi(x) (the number of primes not greater than x), and using a published algorithm known at the time would have let him find the ten billionth prime in less than 3 minutes instead of thousands of hours of computer time.

That's the article (though I've focused more on the algorithm while it says “this column is not so much an article about programming as it is about computer logistics”), but these days we can just hit up https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=the+ten+billionth+prim... or https://primes.utm.edu/nthprime/index.php#nth or enter "prime(10000000000)" into https://live.sympy.org/ (this times out for some reason, though primepi(22801763489) takes less than a minute so you could binary-search manually), or enter "nth_prime(10^10)" into Sage (https://www.sagemath.org/) to get the result pretty much instantly (after it starts up, which takes a while), or....

This is a pathetic attempt to absolve trump of his clear racism and dog whistles to extremists. If he assumes wrongly it's okay to say whatever he wants? That points even more directly to a dog whistle. Shame on whoever wrote that as a defense.

Joining up with a bunch of white nationalists to march in support of a statue of a man who is famous for waging a traitorous war against the United States in support of the institution of slavery doesn't make one a "very fine person", indeed quite the opposite.

While you may not believe trump is a racist sending dog whistle after dog whistle to white nationalists those white nationalists seem to think so:
