It does strike me as ugly because there's just one "off" piece after the other.

The thing about hiding posts from reporters while they know there's an ebook.

Saying the NYT "isn't about clicks" while most of the news industry is drowning.

Arguing that "de-anonymizing" Scott shouldn't be a problem because it was easy for them to do.

Arguing that Scott should've expected unruly people to contact the NYT while drawing a complete blank that that's exactly what Scott would've been facing, except with possible physical violence rather than angry e-mails...

There's more but I'm lazy. My "wat?s per minute" were significantly above average. It went far enough for me to call it "ugly."
He definitely seems approachable. Someone I knew from school interned at nvidia and supposedly he hosted a party at his house for the interns (possibly just PhD interns) and let people rev one of his fancy cars
The more I learn about Justice Thomas, the more I like him.
He also quotes extensively from SSC, so he clearly has an archived version of it open.

Now the guys a fucking monster, raping a 4 yearold he should have been hanged decades ago!

But there is something to be said about if the authorities lock you up and you can cause them as much problems as possible. Getting the supreme court to rule that half of a states land belongs to someone else is one of the biggest middle fingers possible!

>The US signed treaties with the indigeneous population

and by doing so, acknowledged that those indigenous populations were soveriegn nations. It doesn't matter why they signed those treaties, the only thing that matters is that they did.

You don't get to cancel a treaty just because the other party used to have leverage over you and doesn't anymore.
Because, they can't invent a new game. Unless of course they were only designed to invent games, and by trial and error and statistical correlation to existing games, thus producing a generic thing that relates to everything but invents nothing.

I'm not an idiot. I understand that we won't have general purpose thinking machines any time soon. But to give up entirely looking into that kind of thing, seems to me to be a mistake. To rebrand the entire field as calculating results to given problems and behaviors using existing mathematical tools, seems to do a disservice to the entire concept and future of artificial intelligence.

Imagine if the field of mathematics were stumped for a while, so investigators decided to just add up things faster and faster, and call that Mathematics.
I see this boosting U.S. Treasury demand. The decision affirms that the U.S. keeps it's word.
Do you know if there is any reason (other than simply not wanting to) why adobe couldn't open source the Flash Runtime? It would likely have been very successful if they had (iOS or not, and it would have put quite a bit of pressure on Apple to support it), and Adobe would have stood to make a lot money selling the Flash IDE.

> The Court has only decided that the federal government has no prosecutorial jurisdiction against citizens

Did I misunderstand what the case was about? I thought the case was that the state government has no jurisdiction and only the federal government has jurisdiction.

Or maybe I'm confused because that's what the previous (4-4 deadlock) case was about and this one is actually bigger.
It seems to be just shuffling around the hard part of the problem. Causality still depends on some unstructured optimization problem of generating and evaluating causal diagram candidates. I haven’t really seen it applied where the set of potential causal relationships is huge.
What hot reloading? Aren't you just restarting processes? That has nothing to do with Go.
Couldn't have described it better!
Ruling found that state government does not have prosecutorial jurisdiction, the federal government does and could still choose to prosecute the individual at the root of this case in federal court.
You can use C# on the front end now with Blazor. It's pretty new though so I don't know how good it is yet.

If delivery costs the same as an average Uber ride, say, $10, it makes every order under $100 unprofitable.

What you pay as an Uber passenger is not even remotely close to what Uber pays its drivers. So a $10 cost for a food delivery may not be realistic.

How much an Uber trip costs Uber depends on a lot of factors, but I can tell you from experience that very often if a passenger paid $10 for a trip, the driver saw far less than $5 of it. That's why they're always angling for tips.

When I drove for Uber, a very common run was from the airport to a specific large convention hotel. The trip was maybe five miles. The passengers often complained about having to pay $25-$40 or more for the short trip. As a driver, I got maybe $3.50 out of it.
Let me clarify. By "normal" I meant that 90% is not an unusual or undesirable situation. To some extent, an ICU bed is not being used is going to waste; from a hospital administrator's perspective, the ideal situation is 100% utilization at all times with every excess patient smoothly being transferred elsewhere. This of course is unrealistic—you want to leave some surge capacity (thus my 90% figure) if possible—but, generally speaking, a hospital will transfer excess patients elsewhere (either within the same system, or to others in the region), and accept others' excess patients to fill up its own empty beds.

COVID19 patients are not making up a large percentage of ICU patients at the moment; see, for example, the hospital in the aforementioned article with 100 ICU beds. Yes, the 100 beds are full at that moment, but only seven are COVID19 patients; no doubt some other fraction are patients who put off procedures during the lockdown. That hospital is sending new patients it can't handle elsewhere, and will also move some existing patients elsewhere when practical/safe. This is possible because there is no overcapacity on a regional or statewide level.
What differences? The Supreme Court of Canada is in essence directly appointed by the Prime Minister so is very vulnerable to politicization. The Supreme Court is also responsible for interpreting whether a law is consistent with our Constitution so it's just as existential.
What I learned in Boy Scouts four or five decades ago, that when I recently checked (sorry, no source readily at hand) was still valid:

"If the face is red, raise the head. If the face is pale, raise the tail."
You hit it right on the head, stunt!

My experience of UX almost everywhere is 'this label gives me jurisdiction to apply my personal biases to the redevelopment of this site'.

Only one company I've been at had UX people who spent as much time talking with existing/possible future users to ground their ideas in genuine data as they did using and understanding the product.
I'm not the one who called it ugly.

I'm just pointing out that you either forgot your own comment, or were using a weird rhetorical trick where you pretend that the other commenter was calling the blog ugly, instead of the article.
you're the 3rd reply saying this so I don't have much hope of fighting the crowd, but, this is pretty much as ad hominem as it gets. The reasoning provides two and only two options for which flaw the speaker exhibits as evidence for the argument
As a small business who had to settle a trademark issue with a large international computer company, I found this interesting.

TL;DR: The country band is suing just to show they own the trademark, not to stop the blues singer or extract money.
So the answer is yes? This seems like a potential business opportunity for any tribe that was so inclined. They could bestow favourable tax status on anyone who wanted to go down that path.
As much as I cheer on the death of Flash, it did play a part in my "coming up" as a programmer. Reading the book, "The New Masters of Flash"[1], published in 2000, was the first time I got truly inspired by the intersection of design and programming that was then becoming popular on the early web.

Flash is now a footnote in history, but, as I shared on Twitter[2], for me, Flash was almost like an early glimpse into what the future of web technologies would eventually become. If Adobe had released Flash as open source after acquiring Macromedia, we'd likely all be using a very different web, which is quite the mindbender to reflect on.

Unfortunately there's really no "return" of land. These headlines are siezing on the above technicality mentioned, which simply formalizes Tribal jurisdiction.

The big news is precisely that formal recognition of Tribal (and, notably, treaty-conferred) authority.
True. In this case, either way, half of Oklahoma belongs to the tribe. Congress has not taken it away in the legally prescribed manner, therefore SCOTUS has no choice but to say that until congress does, the promise has to be upheld.

Congress has to do its job. Or not. Whichever it chooses. But it can't rely on the courts to do its job. The courts are right to let everything sit exactly where it is, and drop the entire matter back in the lap of congress.
Yeah, the problem is that the large majority of the world isn't Google, software isn't their main business, and their codebases are maintained by a continuous rotation of external contractors that are paid by the tickets that they get to implement.
I agree 100% with your point but would just make one change to the wording. The Bill of Rights isn't made up of laws.
No, this part of the situation is both well known and already rebutted. Look at ggreer's comment up thread. They've made multiple exceptions to this policy in the past.

The harm to Scott's patients and their ability to have continuity of care alone should outweigh any supposed interest in needing to know the man behind the pseudonym when the writing under the pseudonym is all that's relevant here.
What GPT-3 and other models lack is embodiment. There are of course RL agents embodied in simulated environments, like games and robot sims, but this pales in comparison to our access to nature and the human society. When we will be able to give them a body they will naturally rediscover play and games.

Human superiority doesn't come just from the brain, it comes from the environment this brain has access to - other humans, culture, tools, nature, and the bodily affordances (hands, feet, eyes, ability to assimilate organic food...). AI needs a body and an environment to evolve in.
There is something about working with your hands that can't be understated. If you haven't done a hard working job, you wouldn't know. The only thing stopping me is the salary. If I could make as much money as a knowledge worker cutting greens at golf courses, I'd go back to being a groundskeeper in a heartbeat. That job is pure zen, hard work, but bliss. Most important is that you are able to leave it behind and removed from your life and headspace entirely the minute you step off the property, unlike our email driven petty political rat race.
Ok, so you would allow foreign code execution, but only in a separate process?

If not JavaScript, then what would you prefer to write the foreign code in? Should it be some sort of interpreted script or do you feel all foreign code should be compiled?

Would you allow access to the file system, if permitted by the user? What about other native APIs, like networking, Bluetooth etc?
That's the examples they put in press releases. Just for a sanity check on what tiny harmless things are punished by those laws:

https://www.vice.com/de/article/8xe7jg/kuchen-tv-volksverhet...

A Youtuber made a video about an incidents between students where one made a racist joke. He [the Youtuber] said about that joke "that wasn't a bad joke" and got convicted for Volksverhetzung - one of the harshest crimes we have. If you get convicted for that as a non-VIP, your life is effectively over in Germany. That's socially worse than a rape conviction.

And back to the point: whether you consider it right to put people in jail for saying mean things or not - it is absolutely not internet freedom. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
> The Times, although its policy permits exceptions for a variety of reasons, errs on the side of the transparency and accountability that accompany the use of real names. S.S.C. supporters on Twitter were quick to identify some of the Times’ recent concessions to pseudonymous quotation—Virgil Texas, a co-host of the podcast “Chapo Trap House,” was mentioned, as were Banksy and a member of isis—as if these supposed inconsistencies were dispositive proof of the paper’s secret agenda, rather than an ad-hoc and perhaps clumsy application of a flexible policy. Had the issue been with Facebook and its contentious moderation policies, which are applied in a similarly ad-hoc and sometimes clumsy way, the reaction in Silicon Valley would likely have been more magnanimous.

This is a weak defense. What is the actual rationale for doxxing a blogger over their vigorous objection? How do you actually justify this decision on the merits?
This test is absolutely brutal compared to the SAT. Imagine if US students were subjected to three days of testing, eight hours each day, that included all the SAT II subjects plus regular SAT subject matter. Oh, and throw in a whole section on Middle English, too.
I live in Denmark and buy hosting/email from a Danish company, but their servers are in Germany. I wonder if they will switch to having servers in other countries (or locally, as they used to have). Otherwise, I'll have to find a different provider.
If you put the word in quotes, it is clearer that it doesn't belong to you..
Well, they have binding legal force. They are Law. So, a kind of Super Law.
You're exactly right. We've even seen very small pre-seed companies (with just a handful of EC2s) throwing away a few thousand dollars annually in extra charges to AWS. The problem becomes even bigger at large companies.
The sending mail server was configured with a zero timeout for connections. If it didn't IMMEDIATELY get a response from the destination mail server it would fail. This immediate failure took 3 milliseconds, a long enough time that some servers could actually respond back before that happened... but if the server was too far away (more than 500 miles) the connection would fail before the first packet could even get there due to the finite speed of light.
It was a plugin, so I relied on the plugin directory to do the marketing for me. Other than that, it was priced competitively. Enough people matriculated through. The app itself sucked (was new to programming), but it did made money.

Since then, I've actually tried to do a lot of what's considered "best practices". Ironically, none of these techniques (which many thought leaders promote) actually worked for me. It may have worked for them (eg. prelaunch list building, getting influencers to use their app and promote it) but as a relative nobody, I think the rules are different for folks like me. I like to think I need to be scrappier and to simply do things that are counter-trend.

I suspect there's a large contingent of developers making a decent side living who aren't really talking much about things (too busy, family, other hobbies) and what they did to get there. Sometimes it's luck, sometimes it's just doing really dumb (but obvious in hindsight) type of things.

Over the years, I've grown skeptical about a lot of existing indie start up dogma that's been built up over the years.
I don't live in an area with any BLM protests. Instead our boring town has started to freak out about mythical child nappers. Cars have been searched and people have been beaten up by there over reactive types. Different politics, same attitudes.
Did take out or kitchens stop existing in your world? Do you really think grubhub or uber is even a rounding error in terms of how the majority of people get their food? There's being out of touch but your comment is a whole new level of reality disconnect. And your comment doesn't even make sense internally. You can't avoid ridesharing but you can't leave your house? LOL okay.
Ok, how about your state?

(I'm not disagreeing, just trying to highlight one of the fundamental challenges here...)
It's the same way that a photocopy machine is a simplified document reproduction system compared to arranging die metal cast printing blocks onto a plate, etc.

The photocopy machine is complex, but that's the photocopy machine manufacturer's problem, not the problem of someone reproducing a document.
I dont agree on the "faster" part. Uber or Doordash manage their own delivery people and they're vastly more efficient than the restaurants' own. If you look at Yelp or Seamlesss negative reviews, you'll notice that most of them complaint about delivery service. If there's one thing that the restaurants can benefit from when using Uber or Doordash is having their reviews on those platforms based solely on the quality of food itself.
How is that in the US there are always monopolies everywhere? Where I live, there are at least 10 different car sharing apps, and there is an app that lets you see which app offers better rates for a given destination. I think it has something to do with regulatory culture.
I don’t know about the downvotes, but the previous poster seems to be asking rhetorically to make an argument, not request information.
I would rather get paid for the sake of commitment. I'm not interested in forming a team at the moment.
Exactly this.

I was involved in developing large PHP and Rubby codebases and its so hard to maintain.

These days I just use SpringBoot. It strikes a good balance between providing speed to market (PHP/Ruby), maintainability and performance (the next version should support GraalVM). Cant complaint so far.
There's a lot to digest in this article and I have yet to digest most of it. But I don't think Doctrow understands the nature of immanent technological unemployment. It does not depend on the development of General AI, as he seems to suppose.

90% of professional motor-vehicle operators, retail workers, call center staff, radiologists, surgeons and other jobs can be unemployed due to the deployment of special purpose technologies whose development is well underway.

Some of those people, through the normal avenues of market-based resource distribution, will become plumbers, construction workers, and fill other-hard-to-automate roles in order to earn a living.

If the state institutes something like UBI, then still more of them will become artists, writers, community organizers and fill other roles that might earn them some money but would not on their own guarantee a full, stable income.

When global heating and sea-level rise create clear market incentives to rebuild the national infrastructure, those among the unemployed who are capable to work on that stuff will have a strong incentive to do so.

But for the state to, through a guaranteed jobs program, make effective use of 40-50% of the population in reconstructing national infrastructure as a response to global heating does not seem (to me) realistic. Are enough of those people capable of gaining the required skills for those kinds of projects? Where should they go and what should they do?
If you believe you are a member of a tribe, contact them. Each tribe has procedures for determining membership as well as the rules, such as distance, in order to obtain benefit.

None of that is new.
More: of course it never occurs to the author that NYT readers could include a similar number of randos who might just have taken enough prior offense to run off and be "unfriendly" to Scott. Physically in his face.
Naive question: does the new linear type support in Idris 2 get it closer to possibly not needing garbage collection?
One way web components can evolve to help this is with declarative custom elements, a feature many of the people who've worked on web components have wanted to pursue.

The idea is that you could define a custom element, with style and DOM encapsulation, purely in markup with either no script at all, or script only for progressive enhancement.

There are still a few features that need to be finalized and proposed, like Template Instantiation [1] to allow for expressions in HTML. When put together it would look something like this:

<custom-element name="x-summary" attributes="href">
<template>
<style>
::slotted(h1) { color: blue; }
</style>
<article>
<a href="{{ href }}"><slot name="title"</a>
<slot></slot>
</article>
</template>
</custom-element>

Which you can then use like:

<x-summary href="http://...">
<h1 slot="title">Hello</h1>
<p>This article is about...</p>
</x-summary>

Combine this with HTML modules[2] so you can import these definitions and you could build reusable widgets without script, and some UAs could evolve their script settings to allow HTML modules but not JavaScript modules for a more locked down experience.

From there I'd hope we could find a way to use worklets to allow components to use script, but limit them to only the component's shadow DOM, not the global DOM, and not have default access to APIs like XHR and fetch, or other APIs used for fingerprinting.

Both Madelyn and Zhao are terrific programmers. In case you wonder, they are not random people put there for reasons, like for example since Madelyn is a woman so there was some pressure to add she. She deserves this 100% and is one of the top Redis contributors of the last times, with deep technical knowledge in basically every aspect of Redis. The same for Zhao, he is simply impressive, can track bugs about complex conditions like almost nobody can. I'm happy to see them aboard. Btw they were both effectively part of the informal "core team" that was forming spontaneously in the recent times.
Yes, the blog author did say as much. The idea that he would want to take his whole blog down because he wasn't feeling "inspired" seems preposterous.
