There is also a difference in pricing.

Gambling is priced as a game, a personal luxury. You pay quite little for a vanishingly small chance at a payout. Notice how there are very few people who actually ever "count on" a lottery ticket to pay out.

Insurance, on the other hand, is priced for the market. People will simply go somewhere else if the insurance company is taking too large of a slice.

In some cases, gambling can start to become insurance, if the gambling market is efficient enough. For example: "Matress Mack" when he insured himself against his "Free matresses if the Astros win the World Series" promotion using phone-in sports betting. Even in this case, however, the "insurance" seems costly at 13 million dollars!

Problem is that you rarely find good books this way so you have pile of books which are not worth reading. Determining which books are good takes a lot of time. This is reason I have stopped hoarding books from cheap or free sources. It is way better to download/buy/pirate books recommended on the internet than trying to find them myself.
> For regular Mac users (who are already using the app store for everything)

Lol.

Definitely not.
A curious way of thinking. I would say insurance is exactly the opposite of gambling.

If you already play an instrument or sing, learning the fundamentals of music notation will take less than an hour, and practice makes it fluid. Following scores along to music or repeatedly puzzling out how to play pieces from the notation is what makes it automatic, and happens over time, just like any other skill. You start kind of laboriously with counting lines to see what note it is, and quickly become able to recognise notes directly.

Most notation programs can import MIDI, including MuseScore.
>In my country I would want the police to beat the ever loving expletive out of people who do go out in large crowds during a pandemic.

Maybe in your country blind, extrajudicial violence is not a no-no. This is not the case in democratic countries.

>To protect the lives and livelihoods of those affected, a curfew was imposed, which was then violated.

This is a) a slippery slope (a corrupt government would declare a curfew every time it wanted to stop protests) and, b) it prioritizes material wealth over a movement that wants to achieve social change (in the grand scheme of things, decreasing racism is much more valuable that the stores of some neighborhoods).

>Under no circumstances can I be convinced that looting and rioting is an acceptable outcome.

Really? Under no circumstances? Social equality movements have produced riots since time immemorial. Do you denounce the acts of Spartacus? The peasants revolt? The French revolution?

People who claim this are usually ignorant about how social change is made.
With the exception of the team lead, all of these stereotypes have quite serious dysfunctions which likely clash with each other and could easily derail a project.

But seriously, I think it would be a viable solution for server farms, but it didn't really catch on there yet. Probably still a matter of price. There are some theoretical application with heat exchangers though. If we could recycle some of that, computing would be much more efficient in general.
Widely used does not mean, that they are good candidate for a platform library. Many of them do not have stable API, so you either keep everything on an ancient version (hopefully compilable against), or stuff breaks.

E.g. Boost. Fedora 32, which was released this April, but has version 1.69 (released in Dec 2018), while the current one is 1.73. Similarly, ImageMagick is updated every few days. In these cases, it is better to let the applications decide which versions they want, and keep up with updates.
I think for the same reason you see high-speed chasedowns in the US, and you don't really see that in Europe. The risks involved in catching that perp are significantly higher than simply arresting them later. (Both risk economically, as well as risk to human lives).

I think they should focus on demilitarising the police in the US, with that you also reduce the funding of the police. As a lot of the money goes into buying military-grade equipment. I really don't know why the police needs a tank (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Militarization_of_police)
Most of those military vehicles are actually extremely cheap, they are given to the police by the military when the military no longer needs them. I think this was partially as a response to the north Hollywood shooting, where two bank robbers outgunned the police and injured a couple dozen officers and civilians before being killed.
Of which photos are you thinking? It most certainly varies from country to country but public figures or random people captured when taking a picture of a landscape or a building are at least in some countries not subject to such rules.
There are WebRTC SDKs for Android and iOS.
Sure, with brute force you can take a suspect, usually the decision whther or not a person is a criminal is up to the courts. The reason why European police aren't doing that, is exactly that brutality. They simply try to not hurt or seriously injure a person.

I know a couple of police officers, funny enough from martial arts training (kickboxing, BJJ and so on). These guys can take a person down all by themselves, sure. But at the risk of serious injuriy. This kind of brutality is exactly what peple are demonstrating against.

Als, IMHO, this whole "everyone is carrying a gun" narrative is a little bit lazy. Sure, the US has a gun issue. But just throwing it out there, is just a means to justify police brutality and use of deadly force. If there is such a problem with guns, there are couple of ways to deal with it:

- stricter laws (seems to be dificult)

- specific and adequat police training to deal with it. That explicitly means to not shoot first
... uh, yeah, it is.
Logic Pro X has a music notation view called Score Editor.
Where you see a good point, I see virtue signalling. This has threads of communism / socialism to me. The whole point of capitalism is market efficiency. When we choose to go in favour of “humanism” rather than efficiency, is when we choose to be “soft” just so that we don’t offend each other (and by soft I don’t mean the real, actual, genuinely helpful kind of soft).
That was part of the "Winning Submission Documentation", not part of the rules. It's true that it was there, but to quote the authors:

We suspect that most competitors also did not realise these additional restrictions existed - we are unable to find any data posted in the External Data Thread which meets this threshold with a brief scan. During the competition, the rules on external data were repeatedly clarified, so this leaves us wondering why Kaggle never took the opportunity to clarify that external data must additionally follow the more restrictive rules for winning submission documentation.[1]

Here's a Kaggle competition admin saying:

he deadline to declare external data is on March 3rd. So you cannot add new external datasets after that deadline, but you can use any datasets that have been declared (which are not prohibited) on this thread.[2]

and clarrfying licensing:

So it is expected that competitors understand the external data they’re using and ensure it matches the requirements in the rules.

I’ve answered the question about BY-NC not being available for use by all (non-commercial use) and therefore violating the requirement that external data be available for use by all participants.[3]

Note nothing about there being extra "rules" in the "Winning Submission Documentation".

Yup.

Apple is the best (large org) at marshaling resources, focus, priorities, pushing the envelope. It's been fantastic.

But every decision has consequences. They abandon beloved products. They deprioritorize code quality.

I wish they'd find a better balance, or clever new org strategies. Spinoff abandoned products. A separate cleanup crew to address technical debt, fix bugs. (I'm sure there's plenty of other devs, like me, who revel in house cleaning.)

Sorry things in your country are worse.

Few issues with the straightforward narrative you present.

Cops will slowly corral protestors as curfew draws near by setting up blockades or raising drawbridges. Peaceful protestors want to go home but can't. They're confused, and then curfew hits and police begin loading them into wagons. It's not as simple as get home by curfew.

Cops will infiltrate and instigate protests using a variety of tactics, the goal being to escalate tension, and justify the amount of force the cops wish to use.

Similar to your stated preference, they can't wait to be able to justify beating citizens with an overwhelming show of force. It's the fastest way back to status quo. A status quo you admit is broken, but worth using violence to return to. There's a catch-22 in your reasoning here you might be able to poke at.

Body cams and other forms of accountability do not work because the disciplinary board is not independent and not impartial.

Perhaps our countries aren't so different.

The reason it’s fraud is because you’re buying plane tickets and insurance to make money rather than actually travel. The loophole itself isn’t fraud. It’s also fraud to purchase a lot of things, with the intention of returning them after you use it.
> This release of Turbo C++ was released in 1990.. That said, this project is still pretty impressive for an HS student, even if it's written in ancient C++ and requires DOS to run :)

I agree it's unfortunate that schools are/were slow in catching up to a modern programming environment. This highschooler's project was made in 2015, so the students were learning a language standard/platform that was a couple decades behind.

It makes the project even more impressive, given the technical constraints that the student had to work with, in addition to their young age.

It's a good example of the "hacker" spirit that we encourage on HN. Software (and hardware I imagine) engineers deal with similar situations often, having to work around the limitations of legacy codebases or platforms, challenging what it can be made to do.

Another comment mentioned that some schools moved to teach PHP instead of C++. Granted that's an improvement in some aspects to Turbo C++ 3.0, I think the latter might have been better in terms of learning the real fundamentals.

Thanks a( )lot! I didn't know this was a conflation. Learned something new here.
It is sort of a meaningless number unless it could be broken down. Who was injured by police? Who was injured by rioters? Who was driven over by a vehicle because traffic was blocked?

I imagine it will be very hard to know for sure because the media seems to be minimizing negative coverage of the rioters and the government minimizes reporting of police violence, so yeah, it is anyone's guess.
Will a GPU in 30 years be that much faster than GPUs today? CPUs are already starting to plateau out.
That's because it's the baseline for comparison. Arguing that a baseline isn't slower than itself doesn't make any bit of sense at all. A more useful example would be a comparison against terminal multiplexers, and they can slow down terminal I/O quite noticeably.
Nice to see that the HyperCard stacks collection (that I maintain) on archive.org got a mention:

> In our software collections, we have brought back thousands of hypercard stacks[1] that used to be easily available for Macintosh computers in the 1980s and 1990s – they will boot in your browser and let you enjoy them near-instantly.

The collection is certainly something that couldn't exist in it's current form without the Internet Archive. Sure, there are collections of .sit files sitting in old FTP mirrors, but it's the Internet Archive's in-browser emulation that makes them accessible. (It's unlikely that someone is willing to download an emulator and configure ROMs / system disks, just to play with a stack for 15 seconds).

Now for my usual shout-out: if you have some old stacks sitting around that you want to add to the collection, there's an online uploader[2]. I'm always pleased to see more stacks!

you're entirely warranted to be pissed about tear gas use, but it's misguided to expect quick and accurate federal redress, as the executive function intentionally doesn't cover state or local jurisdictions.

states run themselves, and the federal judiciary basically only steps in when state/local governments don't follow their own rules (the presumed expression of the will of the people) or violate the constitution. the constrained executive response follows from the judiciary (and sometimes the legislature).

and that's the way it should be. you want power local and limited, not consolidated and far away. that would only make things like use of force worse.

so the immediate appeal to authority should be to the local, and then state, judiciary and legislature stepping in with corrective actions. the feds aren't of much use here. they're intentionally a line of last (and slow) resort.

I’ve worked for the EU parliament, but not on this specifically.

The people working on any given law (regulation) tend to be well-informed, and so are the parliamentarians that take lead roles on an issue.

Part of the problem here is that websites are less-well informed on the law: session cookies, for example, do not require a warning IIRC. But many websites using only those needlessly ask for permission.

One mistake in thinking by lawmakers was to assume that websites would chose to forgo third-party and long-lasting cookies in cases where they are of marginal utility. This obviously didn’t happen, partly because everyone started using cookie warnings and they therefore became normalized.

It should be noted that unlike the previous iteration, the current warnings ask for consent and tend to include a not-too-difficult-to-reach option to deny it.

I believe many people (and parliamentarians) that are passionate about privacy issues would also argue that the current situation is still better than quietly using your data. If you value privacy high enough, it rather quickly outweighs any annoyance, even if the latter is far more prominent in daily life.
If those numbers have been consistent for decades despite the police being given harsher and harsher tools for dealing with them, perhaps those tools aren't doing anything but resulting in harm to people who are not committing those crimes.
As a machine learning researcher, where exactly am I supposed to get a dataset that complies with Facebook's/Kaggle's rules in this case?

No one is disputing that the team was disqualified fair and square. But this rule – where you must get consent from every single person appearing in your training data – seems neither standard nor sensible.

Firstly, as someone else pointed out, copyright doesn't apply here at all. You can use whatever training data you want as long as your model is sufficiently transformative. OpenAI used terabytes of copyrighted music in their training for OpenAI Jukebox; they certainly didn't get a license from every musician.

Beyond that – big companies don't play by this rule! If a BigCo wants to train on some data, you bet they'll be using it. When's the last time Google sent you an email like "Are you ok with us using your flickr photos to help improve Google Image Search?"

So my question is simple: in the context of this competition, where should I go to get a decent dataset? The winners were disqualified doing exactly what I would have done. What's the alternative?

Also, yes, ethics are a concern. If you're concerned about ethics, aim it at big companies, not us small fries that are merely trying to win some cash. Again, no one disputes that they were disqualified for valid reasons. But it has nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with the artificial constraints imposed by this competition.
