Flagged article because even the slightest chance of Trump being right is not worth positive coverage of a drug he endorses that might be effective in fighting this pandemic.
Yes, perhaps that's part of the fatal flaw here, aside from the disagreeable people. But I have indeed had comments removed by a moderator that were nothing more sinister than dissent.
Apprentice Elf. Though it appears to be broken on Catalina. I will need to have a look at it, I think, when I get a chance.
My plan was to have two streaming subscriptions at any one time. One is Amazon Prime, that only leaves one slot. I cancelled Netflix over a year ago, intending to buy HBO for a while. Somehow, I never got around to it.

Though lately it helps that my daughter is home from college now because of the pandemic. She seems to have access to just about every service. (Sharing accounts with friends)

We did watch The Mandalorian via my other daughter's ex-boyfriend's account. I felt a little dirty doing that because they just broke up and his heart was broken.

Between sub $10.00 video games on Steam or GOG, Youtube, and Amazon Prime, it seems silly to pay for more services.
Why Teams Will Defeat Slack in the Long Run
Collaboration software is present almost in every business, in one form or another. The one that first comes to mind and was in many ways a precursor of the field – Slack – has found more and more capable rivals with every passing year. However, now in 2020, Teams by Microsoft seems like it will lead the pack for a while.
I would be too in your case, but all of my work is for clients, not for the 'greater good'... Keep up the good work!
Even if it's not successful, there's certainly enough interest in it to make it worth trying.

Maybe we only get 30% of the way. So what? That's 30% more than zero!
It's a waste of time. There isn't a model that can sufficiently simulate the chaotic behavior of biological cellular systems and the complex interactions with potential chemical treatments. Models are Mickey mouse representations of reality.
Desktop computing is also in decline, so it's oddly not as big of a deal.
Yep, amazing how many brave online free speech warriors don't give a single shit that there is government action violently suppressing free speech, you know, an ACTUAL first amendment violation.
"I might need it one day when I look for a job" is not accurate at all for me, it finds jobs for me without me even having to interact with it beyond messaging recruiters back if I'm interested. I wouldn't be at my current employment if not for a recruiter finding me on Linkedin.
Actually it is rather more important to Christianity. Jesus as the Messiah is predicated on his lineage from King David.

This is why the New Testament commences with proving Jesus's direct lineage from King David. Without it, Jesus is not the Messiah, and Christianity is baseless.
I'm saving this. Very good point
I often read wikipedia in several languages, because the differences between the articles sometimes offer almost as many bits of information as the commonalities.

What amazes me are the small-audience ones. For instance, who uses https://pdc.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaptblatt given that most of the native speakers of that dialect adhere to a religion which mandates that cell phones belong, not on one's person, but in the barn, and furthermore be used strictly for business?

(I did first learn about the Mennonite origins of the https://pdc.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Holland_Machine_Company from this wikipedia)

To the main point, I expect the lojban wikipedia to profit immensely from this project :-)

Some people just plain don't like Reddit. I'm not quite clear on why, but it predates the current cancellation fights. Perhaps the upvote/downvote system encourages attention-seeking behavior.

You can't connect to that over the Internet. Of course, from what little has been shared here, it's not clear exactly what you are up to and whether that address being in there makes any sense.
S&P 500 just 10% off its highs though!
I think underlying the disagreement here is really a different estimation of how much this stuff matters. To many people these sort of debates between intellectuals appear very important, they have this idea that culture sort of flows down from the 'elites' and so on. Hence say, Jordan Peterson being very panicked about universities, and the university students being very panicked about Peterson.

I don't think it actually matters at all, it's like the Seattle autonomous anarchists. It's all simulated outrage. Ezra Klein points out in his book on polarization that the US was much, much more violent during the 60s and 70s, when there was very little polarization or cancel culture. Just count the number of political assassinations or compare riots then to today.

Today is peaceful by comparison. Reactionaries haven't turned around acceptance of gay rights yet, cancel culture hasn't cancelled the conservative judiciary yet and ushered in the red guard. Very little has materially changed, it's almost all pure spectacle, if anything a distraction for actual change. You see how much Zucc cares about being cancelled? Anyone remember occupy Wall Street? Maybe cancelling is at an all time high because of how little it actually does.
Not as far as our brightest scientists in the relevant fields have been able to figure out. What do you propose?
Germany restricts US driving licences depending on issuing US state.

Denmark is apparently far more willing to let it slide, and anyone with a US driving licence can get it converted to a Danish one with just a doctor's approval. Although, in Denmark, their US licence is only valid for a month. But you don't have to retake the test. I am frankly a bit puzzled by this decision.
I think LinkedIn was one of the rare services built on Windows Servers. So culture fit from thr start.
I disagree with the idea that subscriber growth is subsidizing anything as well. There are probably some grandfathered subscriptions but Netflix can just set a time limit for those discounts. If Netflix is losing money from grandfathered subscribers then it would be better to just cancel their subscriptions. If they don't cancel the subscription then the loss they are making is a user acquisition fee/marketing fee and not a subsidy.
Same annoyance for any Canadian that moves down to California to live / work.
Even if they just break even on this (or lose money), they'll still come up ahead compared to companies like Netflix. For the last decade or more Disney movies and TV shows have been vessels to sell merchandise and park tickets.
I'm one of those people. I'm told the problem is mainly that I can't find the right subreddits to follow; any remotely popular subreddit is a) very easy to find, and b) almost completely worthless. It's really the same problem that this entire HN thread is about!
None that we know of yet.
Aside from being a testimony of bad management. If you cannot get your workers to work, change your job.

I don't really like people helping development for surveillance systems. Yes, companies have an interest to know if work is significantly affected from slacking, so maybe talk to your employees. You don't even need the legal threat.

Because each additional viewer does not cost the same as the previous one. Why would you assume that?
There's all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff going on in that general part of the Mojave. Lots of tinkerers. Some of them are brought there by Edwards or the Palmdale plant, but now there are a bunch of scrappy and not so scrappy anymore aircraft companies at the Mojave airport, and loads of people trying out strange and fast machines over on the El Mirage lakebed.

you're welcome!

you're missing some of the nuance, the asymmetry of cause and action, though. there is already historic, perpetual violence, acting to subjugate and disenfranchise, and it's quite understandable and reasonable to resist that subjugation.

the resisters weren't initiating this thread of violence but rather had it thrust upon them. the initiators activate the risk of injury on the rebound, not the resisters. no initial violence, no rebound injury risk.

asserting dominance is risky business, no two ways about it.
When I speak to people from countries like Indonesia or Morocco, they act surprised when I mention things like "driver's exam" to them, because apparently in such countries most people obtain their driver's licenses by an "expediting fee" to a government official or a police officer.

It's ALL ABOUT THE BACKLOG!

A properly groomed backlog with clear requirements/acceptance criterias and guidelines from a software architect will make scrum teams highly efficient!

Having the SA an the PO beeing 2-5 sprints ahead of the team creating a backlog that is ready for the team is a wonderful thing to behold.

A competent SA will with input from the team leader be able to estimate on the feature level allowing reasonable time estimates to be given to the management.

Grooming the backlog is a FULL TIME job.
I’ve thought of a similar idea only with graffiti and still images along the concrete barriers with the images spaced and timed with the flicker of street lights to give drivers passive information in the peripheral to indicate when their driving the speed limit. Essentially like the strobe pattern on turntables.
It is. Neither Discord nor Visual Studio Code have this feature surfaced, but they're both Electron apps that probably (accidentally) bury it.
Here as a user to show my support and appreciation. :) I use Magnum for just about any project involving C++ and graphics. Both the framework and community[0] are fantastic and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something inbetween Unity and plain OpenGL/DirectX/Vulkan for full control and interoperability with other C/C++ libraries out there like PhysX and ImGui. Go go go!

hasn’t it been suggested that the internals of google translate and similar systems have effectively constructed such a meta-language?

It seems like you could construct a meta-linguistic sentence by writing a phrase in one language and choosing from possible translations in additional languages, which would hone the cross-linguistic meaning. You might not even have to define a representation of the metalanguage, you could just keep a set of (phrase, score) tuples, and interpolate translations of those phrases into the target language at display time! that almost sounds practical to me
Even if he did broadcast his full name regularly on @slatestarcodex (which he doesn't), the main problem is in the other direction, as he and others have repeatedly noted. The worry is that people (i.e. patients) can go from Scott LastName to SlateStarCodex, not the other way round.
Because it was reported by other journalists and it is relevant. It is part of what movie is as-is.

Being a Data Science Generalist Can Be Beneficial in This Uncertain Time

No based on what I saw at the time it was taken seriously. Some of these guys were dreamers in the nuclear industry. They made a push and it flopped.

All I know as a 10 year old boy when I asked about what would happen in an auto accident to the cars reactor they didn't have a very good answer.
Would you be comfortable being treated by a doctor who is on great terms with a bunch of people who think you’re literally subhuman?
This assumes there is a lot of good players, tenants and landlords and they are just waiting for a good app which will let them find each other finally.
From my experience, this market is conflict driven, there is no such thing as good landlord and good tenant.
You know, the US is the only developed country where police officers that are called on an unarmed drunk person, end up killing him. You can find excuses for nearly every instance all day, but in the end you can't expect model behaviour from a drunk person.
You can however expect two well trained sober offers to handle something like this without an escalation to deadly force.

I mean 40 times higher than the developed world. Do you agree, that this is an unacceptable level of violence?
Certainly seems so, unfortunately.
I live in Eastern Europe and long time ago, before the Internet and Netflix, I used to go to the library and read books for entertainment.

I likes SciFi and at some point I fell on some really weird anthology of Soviet stories from the 50s.

I remember one of them was about time relativity, a cosmonaut went with a rocket close to the speed of light and when he came back, on Earth have passed hundreds of years... jolly joy perfect, because in the meantime communism has become a reality. You know, the idea was socialism is temporary and only a stepping stone towards communism.

Well that's one story.. another one was about using nuclear blasts to level mountains and transform them into fertile plains for growing crops. That has stuck me as particularly idiotic: what the heck people, what sort of crops? Radioactive ones? They didn't know about radioactivity in the 50s?
> India has identical fake license problems as Pakistan

Can you provide a source for this?
Well, presumably not the ones with "77 firearms, including an AK47 assault rifle, sub machine guns, handguns, four grenades, and over 1,800 rounds of ammunition" or "More than two tonnes of Class A and B drugs have also been seized by police, as well as 55 sports cars, 73 luxury watches and over 28 million street Valium pills – a drug that has caused a number of deaths in Scotland."
This isn't the right point to make.
There are a lot of unnecessary animal experiments because the way in which experiments are planned is very unprincipled. in silico approaches have great potential to improve the efficiency of animal experiments.
Because streaming services have a limited selection. You might only be interested in a dozen shows and after a year you've watched everything you wanted.

> full of Indian scammers (not meant in a racist way, but it is definitely perceived that way)

(I'm not Indian but) the non-racist way to say that is 'full of scammers', since the scammers' nationality has nothing to do with your distaste for their behaviour.
> Ezra Klein points out in his book on polarization that the US was much, much more violent during the 60s and 70s, when there was very little polarization or cancel culture.

Well, obviously the Internet wasn't a thing yet in the 1960s and 1970s, but I'm not confident about your claim that there was no political polarization back then. And fringe radical culture wasn't entirely unknown, either. The controversial cancel culture of today has its own roots in the political agitation of the 1960s and 1970s - which in turn was drawing much inspiration from the Maoist "cancel culture" of sorts in the PRC.
If Marilyn Manson was saying to listen to the shooters, I believe he was saying to listen to the shooters before the shooting (so as to try to befriend them and prevent the shooting).
Someone at my old company basically did this and put it into production.

The is the mentality that plagues the industry, that anything more than a few years old is obsolete, and therefore experience is worthless, and therefore the wheel must be reinvented every time because those old programmers must have been dumb, why would they use SQL otherwise. Why real engineers don't take "software engineers" very seriously (and in turn why software engineers don't take webdevs seriously).
> Diversity at all costs: except diversity of opinion.

It’s sad that you don’t see the difference between PC culture and opinions themselves. Being literally racist is not the same thing as being « cancelled » for being unjustly called one because of some social media witch hunt.

Also a lot of corporate choices in contexts like this are marketing choices to a certain demographic.

Being literally racist is indeed not an opinion and not allowed (like in our constitution in France since more than 200 years), but this has nothing to do with PC culture (an American thing unfortunately getting traction here too).
I don’t understand what you mean?
Agreed - the screenshot was basically a black rectangle.

Is this some sort of joke that I guess I don't get?
Intro to Fully Homomorphic Encryption
The semantic structure is the structure of the language (or the independent thing between languages). This does not automatically facilitate machine Understandable knowledge. You would need to write the code to understand it first, which is probably almost as difficult as understanding English for example.

Only when relations are defined in a kind of Prolog style in those examples it will be usable as knowledge about things other than language.

A computer might spit out texts which it guessed are connected to some question you ask it though. Does not mean it understands the relations of things.

But when can we ever really say "a machine understands" something? So perhaps there is not much of a difference?
It looks like a Mac hello world GUI project though! Needs a bit more on screen to demonstrate anything.
> That literally makes no sense. How exactly would a quantum computer assist us in simulating problems like drug transport and binding?

You can use quantum computers to simulate quantum mechanical systems, such as ones studied in chemistry. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1147/JRD.2018.2888987

Indeed, simulating quantum systems was the reason quantum computers were proposed by Feynman in the first place!
seconded, bandcamp has been my primary source of music for quite a while. I admire the company very much, use the site daily, and annoy people with my frequent pitches.

that said, I have to disagree with you about the app. in particular, the cache seems to be the source of my woes. it's difficult (impossible? I don't even know) to deal with any payment or cart related features through the app.

my main problem is that songs regularly get stuck in a bad state, only starting the songs at random points instead of 0:00, and the only way I've discovered to fix this once and for all is to delete all data. sometimes songs just won't play, and I retreat to youtube to listen to something that I've already purchased.
It seems more similar to an elaborate version of the internationalization and translation of messages done in any program that targets multiple languages? If you think of it as a principled template language for generating text from the results of canned database queries, it starts seeming a lot more feasible. The templates themselves do need to be translated into every language, much like the messages in internationalization.

Ideally this enables something like an improved version of the ICU library, with a lot more data available.
You would be downvoted because you wouldn’t be saying anything of value. I don’t care at all about pg and I care even less if an armchair philosopher who doesn’t like capitalism doesn’t like YC or it’s founder (shocker!).
Netflix does not pay a license fee per viewer. They generally negotiate multi-year deals that are priced in advance at fixed rates. Whether one person or a million people watch a show, Netflix pays the same licensing fees.

Plus, a Netflix membership is like a gym membership. Some users watch a lot more content (and cost more in terms of infrastructure) than others. Much like at a gym, all subscribers pay but only some cost as much as they pay. If a gym only charged people who showed up, the fees would need to be much higher.

If every subscriber cost more than they brought in, Netflix would have gone flat broke years ago. There is a reason shareholders wanted subscriber growth and got spooked when it slowed.

The idea is nice, and the results are certainly striking, but seems like a stopgap measure.

Assuming this involves making CAD drawings of every brick placement, that work should be done by an algorithm, with a human doing fine-tuning if needed.

And of course, as others pointed out, if we know the exact position of every brick, the bricklaying would be perfect work for a robot. No need for a master mason if brick positions are decided by an engineer (or computer).

Current-era economics will incentivize this transition (assuming the cost of labor does not fall radically and long-term):
Using a robot may not reduce the construction time appreciably, but it would move the cost from a salary expense to a capital expense. Capital will continue to be very available in the low-interest economy.
