Right, that's the point. Chrome will send "enough PII to de-anonymize" no matter how careful they try to be, because your IP address is very often enough.
The irony of this is that they have a marketplace and very large user base exactly because of the developers that have built for their platform.

I’m just going to have to disagree with you there my Marxist-leaning friend. ICE and the DEA both serve extremely useful functions. You might feel that your opinion reflects the majority because of over-socialization with your in-group, but the majority of Americans believe in and support ICE, the DEA, and police and law enforcement.

The Internet propagates messages to the contrary, reinforced by Marxist opinion shapers and hard lefties who seem to curate much of the digital content, but outside a few large metro areas these kinds of opinions aren’t valued at all.
The Meaning of Functions in Julia
The model is open sourced on GitHub: https://github.com/openai/image-gpt

Oddly, it still uses TensorFlow like the original GPT-2 release despite OpenAI's declared switch to PyTorch, and it has dependency hell so it's not easy to create a wrapper tool for it.

Since it's still the GPT-2 architecture, it might be possible to port the weights to Huggingface Transformers (for the RGB generation), and then write a wrapper to extend it for the image rendering. (filed an issue here: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/5088 )
This is why we in theory have regulations preventing uninformed traders from using options, which RH has effectively skirted around.

This seems like a great change, but I wonder what impact it would have on the drivers who have bought a car to use for Lyft. Would they have to sell their car in the next 10yrs to remain on the platform? What if they don't have a way to charge an electric car where they live?

10 Years is a long lead time, but I can imagine that some Lyft drivers might not be very happy with this news.

That original formulation no longer exists, or maybe more accurate to say that it has been broadened into meaninglessness: officers no longer have to believe a law is valid in order to "reasonably" enforce it. That's right: they can stop you for violating made-up laws. Constitutionality doesn't even enter into it:

"On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that police stops are legal when the officer has a "reasonable suspicion" that a law is being broken—even if that law doesn't exist."

I am talking about SGI workstations, indeed the 1995 ones didn't support (without modification) 48bit, instead it was "only" 12bit per channel, 3 channels, thus 36bit.

Here is a photo of John Carmack using such workstation: https://external-preview.redd.it/EnhEls7GJgm9UxR8FE9Dc3FfH4X...

In 1997 then they launched the "Octane" Workstation line, that could output 4 channels of 12bit, thus reaching 48bit.

https://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi.octane/

One of the purposes of these machines, was make HDR images (among other things).

Sadly for THAT, I don't have time to track sources now, I am busy with something else.

As for a monitor that could support this stuff, one is SONY GDM90W11 that could do 1900x1200
Absolutely the wrong way to think about this. Treat it like any other development that could be hazardous.

If the school board pays for the construction of a new auditorium, and the new building is left half-finished by a bankrupt contractor, you would blame the contractor rather than the school board itself. This should be no different.

They don't "exactly fit their 1, 3, 5, and 9 point values" at all. Piece value is depending on the stage of the game and even the exact position, and even averaged value estimation fluctuates wildly. For example, for Stockfish it's 4.16, 4.41, 6.625, 12.92 (N, B, R, Q).

And for endgames too, a queen vs 2 rooks may be winning for either side or a draw depending on a position.

Fun fact: Companies typically leave PHP not for performance reasons (it's faster than Python and Ruby, for example) but because it's hard to hire people who know PHP since there's a strong bias against it.

(To be fair, I was one of those anti-PHP people, but after seeing PHP7, Laravel, etc, I acknowledge it's vastly improved from the early 2000s).
Prohibition, not war. You don't need a war on drugs to create those situations, as France currently proves, you need prohibition. It's the laws that create the incentives, not how crazy you enforce them.
Maybe I’m naive, but isn’t this exactly the type of thing capitalism is good at doing (lowering prices)? My understanding is that greedy capitalists would love to build more, denser housing here in the Bay, but are unable to due to zoning restrictions as the parent comment suggested.

The overwhelming reason for things like that is randomness. If you answered 'randomness' every time such a question arises, you'd probably have a better mental model of HN than maybe anybody (us included). But of course that's deeply unsatisfying, so we invent stories instead. Randomness plus cognitive bias equals narrative. I'm not putting you down—we all do this.

I think a moderator took a look at the two articles and felt like the BBC one was a bit more neutral, while the USA Today one was a bit more press-releasey, so didn't change the URL. I haven't looked at either article; I'm just reporting how we tend to consider these things.
If it was this easy to push you in the opposite direction, all it means is that you never had any core convictions to begin with. I find it easy to sympathize with people frustrated by the modern left, but I fundamentally don't understand the people who look at the horrendous, despotic, corrupt shit that the party in power is doing, and are more than happy to cover their eyes and ears just because they feel slighted by the other side.

I know myself well, and no matter how "bad" the left gets, there is no possible future in which I could vote for a party built around venerating money, imposing control, flaunting their lack of empathy, and — yes — propagating white supremacy. If, at some point in the distant future, the Democratic party becomes "literally Soviet Communism" (in quotes because I find this laughably unlikely, but w/e) then I guess I'll just have to stop voting, or vote for a third party. Frankly, I'm much more concerned about the US turning into a fascist hellhole to worry about that remote possibility right now.

Good point. Still, even now in Russia (never mind USSR), political opponents are put into psychiatric hospitals. In USSR there was a total state monopoly on media (propaganda), you could have your life ruined for not toeing the party line or not turning up at Communist fetes.

Things in the US look very ugly to me as an outsider, but still they got nothing on proper totalitarian state. Getting closer though!
There are countless 'Engineers' in Canada, not doing Engineering. It's a 'big thing' right now in government - they're trying to figure out why so many 'credentialed' immigrants are not getting hired in their respective fields.

The government believes 'it must be racism' to the point wherein Ontario gov. has banned requiring 'Canadian experience' for jobs etc..

This is surely, at least partly true. It's a problem. But - overall, the issue is really that 'credentials are not equal', 'credentials may not be relevant' and most importantly 'credentials are only a small part of the job'. There are actually few jobs in Canada wherein someone's 'technical ability' will qualify them for something right away.

Doctors - well there's a pathway for them. Profs if they are hired into Unis. But even in IT - it's not so much one's education that makes one ready, we know in high tech that a lot people don't have technical degrees. Yes, ABC Corp. might be specifically in need of 'materials science' people but that is rare. Companies need people with technical backgrounds that can communicate, manage, problem solve in a North American operating environment, and they also need tons of people in talented areas wherein credentials just don't mean a lot. If you look at any successful tech corp a small minority have technical roles. Sales, Marketing, Product Management, Field Marketing, Sales Support, Branding, Customer Operations etc. etc. these are all communicating jobs wherein people who are more culturally adapted to the environment are better prepared. This is the primary driver of the 'migrant vs local citizen wage gap even among credentialed jobs'. Unsurprisingly, this gap closes over a couple of decades, which makes sense.

In places like Sweden, this problem is exacerbated by the fact that Swedish culture is very specific, the language is hard and so they're really having difficulty getting newcomers into more sophisticated roles. It's inevitable and an inexorable fact of the system. One way to mitigate this would be to make migration a little bit more job-based, in which case employers would be making the decisions as to 'who is employable' which makes much more sense, excepting the ugly scenarios wherein you get wage suppression, which is 100% a reality as well. (The large banks in Canada started dumping call centers in Canada and moving them offshore, which is an example of that kind of thinking)
Robinhood's goal is seemingly to make more complex investment vehicles available to a wider variety of people. It is therefore inappropriate for them to present this information in the exact same context that is used to communicate this information to more educated investors.

It is like giving a loaded assault rifle to a trained member of the military compared to an average civilian. You can't just assume each will have the same level of knowledge. You need to provide that civilian more detailed instructions in order to make sure they don't cause accidental and unnecessary damage with it.

Laying Off Data Scientists Amid Covid-19 Pandemic Can Hamper Business’s
Yeah, it would be a very good thing for the Python community if dataclasses became idiomatic and vanilla classes came to be regarded as a code smell. Basically what every language should have is the concept of a "struct" or a "struct pointer". Constructors imply that there is one right way to construct an object which is rarely true except in the one-param-per-member-field sense.

"Convenience constructors" (i.e., static methods for creating instances from a set of parameters) are fine, but should often not be in the same module (or perhaps even the same package) as the class anyway. For example, if you have a Book class and it has a convenience constructor for creating a book from a database connection string and a book ID, this is probably reasonable for certain applications, but if it's likely that others would want to use your book class in non-database applications, then it would be a travesty to make the non-database application take a dependency on sqlalchemy, a database driver, etc (especially since database drivers tend to be C-extensions which may or may not be difficult to install on various target platforms).
If D have had a proper tooling, like C# and VS, do you think companies in the automative would consider to use D instead of C++?
I believe the issue there is that they wouldn't realistically have enough drivers with electric cars by 2025. If they entirely managed their own fleet they could make that happen, but most lyft drivers likely don't make enough money to buy an electric within the next 5 years.
There are currently (or were recently) 2 large lawsuits regarding cyber insurance claims working their way through litigation. If they both go in a certain direction, the concept of cyber insurance may be much less appealing (far fewer claims could be paid out, making the concept relatively expensive for less benefit than many companies anticipated).

Basically, insurance only works when the insured has faith that the insurer will pay and that both parties understand the boundaries of the contract. One of the lawsuits involves the effects of WannaCry, which the insurer claims was a state-sponsored attack. "Acts of War" is one of those common exclusions to insurance policies, so the insurer has an incentive to always claim cyber attacks are nation-state sponsored if the insurer wins that case.

The other case I think is about the difference between a general corporate insurance policy which has some coverage related to fraud and the insurer who claims the insured should have purchased a standalone cyber insurance policy. I think that case partially revolves around "when fraud happens on a computer network, is that a 'hack' or is it traditional fraud?"
I didn't say it was 'right', I said it was 'reasonable' - and there aren't easy answers to this.

Also to clarify, specifically a reasonable trade-off for Zoom (I don't think there should be a general law that requires IDs for video software use or something).

Zoom is not a company I would use at all if you're looking for secure communications (https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/13/zoom-in-china.html).

If you care about secure communication you should be using something else.

Windows 10 May 2020 Performance for WSL vs. WSL2
JS should have an array sort function. HTML should have sort-able tables. We know what they look like. We shouldn't have to pump up our pages with a bazillion lines of js just to implement something entirely obvious.

IOW: If there is a table it doesn't hurt to be able to sort it by default.

The example is great! 10 lines... no wait... 30 lines... then you have something that... or no wait, it sorts numbers alphabetically. The cursor is wrong. There is no accessibility. The little arrows are missing ▲ ▼ did I pick the right ones? They look bulky, better add another span inside the th? Oh I clicked the th twice now the text is highlighted.

Why should I need to implement this myself? I'm not inventing anything new? I don't want to be dealing with colspan but we all know how it should work? I know its wrong but I usually leave out the <thead>, tables render just fine without it but when something generates tables like that the script needs to be re-examined to figure out why it doesn't work. There is some unknown number of other ways to break it.

A default implementation could deal with some common units out of the box. Monday could go in front of Tuesday, 50 cm could be smaller than 1 m, $100 could be bigger than $20. Just the simple obvious stuff. For everything else something like <th sort="foo"> with: foo = (a,b) => a.length - b.length

List items are a bit less obvious but I'm sure we can think of something sensible. Perhaps sorting by child class?

What is the drawback?

Corporate action on climate is needed. Also I don't see _any_ excitement in this thread, mostly negativity and lukewarm reaction, sarcasm, etc.

The meaning is pretty clear.

This kind of namecalling and negative attitude really doesn't belong on HN.

Options are already broken into levels 1-4 (this is an industry thing, not just RH). Levels 1 and 2 don't run the risk of this happening since you can only sell to close. On other platforms that I've used, going from levels 2 to 3 took a while and required some verification steps to try to confirm that I knew what I was doing.

Robinhood already asks for information about your net-worth, income, etc. The problem is that they verify nothing (at least in my experience). I read /r/wallstreetbets all the time, and plenty of 18 year olds say they are making 100k+ and RH just approves them. They need to improve that process.
