The supporters of Assange are guaranteed to be also revolted by Guantanamo Camp and drone executions.

Assange's supporters like him precisely because, among other things, he (and Wikileaks) is a champion of the cause fighting against the wrongdoings of US army and US extrajudicial penitentiary system:

- Guantanamo Files

- Collateral Murder

These are actually precisely the reason why US government is extraditing Assange.

My folks witnessed a death as an adhoc concrete structure was pulled from a pier onto a person below. I guess noone anticipated someone would use the structure as a boat tie off point. By happenstance the person crushed was the person who put up the structure some decade or more back. I don't know if its callous but I only remarked that kind of structure would almost certainly be illegal in the US.

I am surprised that for smaller countries there is such big difference between Twilio and MessageBird. For instance, for Albania, in Twilio, the per-number price is $1.0, and inbound sms are not even supported. On the other hand for MessageBird the per-number price is $32/month (!) while inbound sms are free. Feels like MessageBird has more "real" numbers.

Edit: For which ever country I choose from, they always have sms inbound Free. Feels like a marketing/sales trick ? I can't believe that MessageBird has managed to implement inbound SMS for all those countries, while Twilio hasn't.

The Twitter link you provide does not claim that wikileaks spread false information.

In fact following the huffpost link it appears as if wikileaks pointed to private (and not of public interest) information published by a third party:

If that is all you got, then I have to believe gp that wikileaks doesn’t spread false information.

mmmm I'm skeptical of a singular study in which a certain tribe of people are asked to modulate a sound to an octave within their singing range disproving octave equivalence being hardwired.

Wanna know why? Our aural circuits have frequency binning, much like an FFT, and they "ring" at certain frequencies, and an octave is either 1/2 or 2x a given frequency/"note".
Closer examination of this system under stimulus is what I would consider a gold standard in this field of research.
The form of research undertaken in this study suggests many things, and the researchers have chosen a particular conclusion and it's not necessarily indicated by even their own data.

https://www.britannica.com/science/ear/Analysis-of-sound-by-...

Given the current propensity for thinking that frequency detection is pre-cortex (lower level than speech decoding) and available rather early on in the evolutionary chain, I'm going to be interested in physical studies, not social science.

Why would you do this?

If you did an Arts degree (like I did in the UK) you probably recognise this technique. I will admit it was some time back - my degree was all about reading from multiple sources. The goal was to have multiple perspectives on events (in my case history) which are inherently subjective. In reality, there was never enough time - so you "filleted" the core of each argument, grabbed some quotes and dug out some tiny element to "prove" you'd read it. Running 10-15 books - hah - I was researching multiple areas - 15 a week maybe?

And, that's how my degree was made - I'm sure lots of people have similar experiences and skills. I totally accept that this form of reading is possible.

But, beyond "professional learning" it's terrible. It's unenjoyable, develops poor understanding, limits comprehension of nuance and destroys enjoying the flow of the argument. Unless you have to do it, I can't see why you'd put yourself through it. Ultimately reading for learning is not about volume, it's about considered thought.
Nuance does go out the window when you or yours lose the means to support a family. You assessment that those people don't have a reasoned argument is not correct. They are very emotional, but they are not wrong in their argument no matter how many people make fun of them.

I stated the "knee jerk" reaction. It is H1B is being used in a manner contrary to the law, this results in lower wage workers replacing domestic workers via contracts with "body shops". Often the worker is forced to train his/her replacement by holding severance over their heads.

Also, India is actually too expensive for some of these companies. They are recruiting from other countries with lower standards of living. I know of at least one Ag company that replaced workers with those from the Philippines because India was too expensive.'

Their isn't a lot of room for nuance when these companies are breaking the law but getting away with it.
Back when I was working on another startup, I hired a freelancer friend to create "The Freelance Rate Calculator" [0], which ended up on Sourceful a few months later. Before that, it went viral on Twitter (112,570 impressions) [1] and brought in a ton of traffic to my startup's home page.

Ever since then, I can't shake the feeling that I should probably turn it into a simple SaaS app.

It really made me think that nicely designed Google Sheets documents are probably the perfect way to prototype some applications. They're free, fast to build, and anyone can access them... And, apparently, you can get them to look pretty damn nice.

This is a step in the right direction but my question is what information derived from your data do they retain? Getting rid of the raw data is great but there are still serious privacy implications if they retain highly sophisticated models trained on the data. The simplest example would be retaining a feature vector of your face while deleting the raw photos.

Is this an actual experience? I've worked with/interacted with quite a few queer people. And I've misgendered people on more than one occasion. Nothing a "shit sorry" hasn't been able to fix.

This forces me to wonder why our experiences are so different. Do the queer people I work with have different norms than yours? Do I have some level of legitimacy among them that you don't? Or is there something else at play?

Logistic regression can learn some quite amazing things. I trained a linear function to play chess:
https://github.com/thomasahle/fastchess
and it manages to predict the next moves of top engine games with 27% accuracy.

A benefit of logistic regression is that the resulting model really fast. Furthermore, it's linear, so you can do incremental updates to your prediction. If you have `n` classes and `b` input features change, you can recompute in `bn` time, rather than doing a full matrix multiplication, which can be a huge time saver.

Taking a stab in the dark here but it might be because YC is mostly software engineers and these kinds of problems rarely fit into the domain. It's a useful skill set, absolutely, but isn't something taught in computer science.

On the data science side this has to be used all the time for most problems, but there are not many data scientists or other kinds of analysts on YC, so the kinds who use these tools are more than likely not going to be represented.

I'm very suspicious of Comcast too. They've had hostile policies in their Internet management for as long as I can remember, going back to the days they'd forge RST packets because they didn't like customers using BitTorrent.

OTOH as the article says, 'Joining Mozilla's program means that Comcast agreed that it won't "retain, sell, or transfer to any third party (except as may be required by law) any personal information, IP addresses, or other user identifiers, or user query patterns from the DNS queries sent from the Firefox browser'.

I assume Mozilla will audit and keep Comcast honest here, or at least try. I just am left wondering what loophole Comcast has found.

The Pakistani situation is actually not unique.

There are precedents, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Mexico_City_Learjet_crash

A Mexican government Learjet plane carrying the Secretary of the Interior crashed in Mexico city due to a mishandling of the landing approach by the pilots (they flew to close to a 767 and got blown away by wake turbulence).

The pilots were in fact not qualified, and in fact got fake licenses to operate the Learjet from corrupt flying schools.

> Pilot Martín Olíva and co-pilot Álvaro Sánchez, were not certified to operate the Learjet 45. The investigation concluded that both pilots had received fraudulent certifications: Captain Olíva lied about the number of training flights he had made, and had issues on the few training flights he did complete, while Captain Sánchez lied about being a Learjet 45 instructor. Both men had taken advantage of a corrupt system to get false training documents and some unsigned Learjet 45 certification forms from their flight schools. These revelations led Mexican authorities to suspend the licences of both flight schools.

Not only did it basically cost Ecuador any sovereignty it may have had, the project is a complete disaster. Equipment is degrading at 10x its depreciation schedule. The dam has never been able to function at the output levels it promised, and the deaths that have occurred during and after its construction is reminiscent of another massive Chinese construction project, some kind of wall, I think.

> Volvo is one of the worst,

Newer Volvos (since being acquired by China) have had notoriously bad reliability, and as far as I know, this is established. An anecdote: a couple each purchased a certain Volvo model (same car), one turned out to have severe engine problems, while the other was fine. Turns out that the problematic car was made in China, whereas the other was manufactured in Europe.

Kia and Hyundai have really stepped up their game recently. Excellent value, safe and reliable cars, and very good quality, so I'm not surprised there.
As opposed to Facebook?
I get your point, and I'm sure that was an area of discussion during the system design. From my perspective, though, it introduces a potential failure point that may not be worthwhile.

If you want the lever to not move when the landing gear controller will ignore the command, then you need to lock the lever in place. If that locking mechanism fails during a normal approach, you have an airplane landing with gear up.

I'm sure the FMEA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects_analy...) in this case will conclude that it's more likely that the lock will fail closed than that the checklist was ignored and both pilots will not realize that they're trying to lower gear at too high a speed since that requires three faults to occur: ignore checklist, pilot in command attempting gear down at airspeed too high, and copilot not noticing that.

I should have been more clear. What I meant was that buying a mainstream laptop with Windows pre-installed, and then putting Linux on it. In that case, things like suspend / resume may or may not work.

Sure, one of those rare Linux-specific laptops (System 76, Dell, etc.) will see dramatically better hardware support.
Didn't want to add politics to this, but i hope they get more funding for safety. Sadly, most of the funding they get from US and other Western countries is gobbled up by the Army which is the most powerful institution in the country. Their economic situation is a little worse now and it is likely they will become a vassal state of China in the future as well. China will take the role of USA in the country if it goes the other way.

Probably will get downvoted for this, but I think the halo around reading books is overrated. You can gather ample amount of knowledge just as well via a series of essays online, podcasts, and sometimes even twitter threads.

Most of the books, for example, introduce a radical new idea and then elaborate on that needlessly for 400 pages. I found Sapiens to be one such book.

Even if the idea/premise is insightful, there is often a lot of redundancy in the pages. We should value brevity more.

Of course, this might not apply to all books. Textbooks/Reference books can happily coexist with online tutorials/blogs. Even certain nonfiction books (Thinking Fast and Slow comes to mind) might be best presented in a book format.

Also, an Android phone running LineageOS would not call the mothership, advertise to you, nag you to register (there is nothing to register for), send GPS information anywhere once you configure it to not do so (or you can choose a libre alternative like Mozilla’s location services), or get you to do things which you don't want to do but the manufacturer does. That is why many if not most idealistic N900 owners moved on to LineageOS, while hoping that something like the Neo900 or the Librem 5 or the Pinephone would eventually remove the need for Android entirely.
No, most of the time they are not indexed by search engines - unless the docs has got a lot of good backlinks, it will not be visible through search. Also, a lot of docs which seem to do well in Google search are scam pages with illegal movie downloads, etc.

So there is a lot of added value in showcasing and promoting great docs which are not easy to find. Another area is giving feedback to the doc owner though commenting - the collaboration system in Google docs is not ideal for high-level discussion about the doc.
It’s interesting to think about it this way. Thanks for the new lens.
