This seems like you are saying "The system is broken and cannot work" but that this assertion hinges mainly on the assumption that "new government bureaucracy to manage the standard" is automatically a bad thing.

In reality, there should be both a government bureaucracy and industry consortium for the exact reasons you have laid out.

The industry consortium brings deep technical knowledge and pulls in private companies best interest.

The government bureaucracy brings broad technical knowledge and pulls in the general public's best interest.

Obviously there are significant complexities regarding the effectiveness and social consciousness of either group that are interdependent and potentially dead-locked by external factors (Such as the effectiveness/regulation of lobbying in general). But I don't think that justifies your apparent "Can't win don't try" attitude.
Yep, it's called novelty and outlier detection. The sklearn page is pretty informative:

Yes but it's cloudy for me because my leisure sometimes involve things that take a lot of work (spending hours in the recording studio, cooking an elaborate meal, spending all day in the garden). So I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
OP here.

I tested much higher rates for short bursts, and wasn't ever rate limited, but didn't want to risk blowing anything up. However, with a few AWS instances / lambdas it would have been possible to do it in a few mins.

Secondly, and more importantly, I found a variant (mentioned in the article) that allowed me to do this before meetings started, so you could have the password in advance.
My understanding about Agile is planning ahead for the next step instead of planning the whole project before starting and then hoping all your assumptions turns out true.

The product owner will create and prioritize the stories in the backlog(plan), the team will discuss and break down a story into actionable and weighted tasks(more planning), then they will fit those tasks into the sprint based on their previous performance(even more planning!)
Lessons from companies that achieved crazy growth
So a bit like a capitalist entrepreneur who needs to have a brilliant idea and be a great salesman, the scientists in USSR had to have a cunning social skills to push their ideas through layers of un-interested bureaucracy. A Sisyphian task that would just cause them to become disengaged. That's how that society got its alcoholics, poetry evenings and other sublimation hobbies.
I'm pretty sure you can do that more now than ever, after courts in more and more countries are shutting down their "Autopilot" marketing.
Well, sort of. Every 2 stroke engine I've seen needed oil in the fuel, so if you just ran straight petrol you'd have a problem.
The tweet claims that step 4 is "Apples takes back $100 from me." So you have to cover Apple's share in the refund.

Apple didn't design its own cores when they started using Arm for iPhone, and RISC-V wasn't especially mature then either. There's a cost to switching, and you can bet that Arm designs its business relationship with Apple to make sure Apple continues to prefer Arm.
Exactly this.

Apple has all the reasons to entice the customer into buying the product and encouraging them to do so by offering a full refund, and they take none of the risks because the make the same money either way.

I am surprised of how many people don't see the conflict of interest here.

You don't need special instructions to talk to peripheral devices. The ISA supports that from the get go. As a licensee, you can't add instructions to the ISA, only ARM can do that. That's what they do, they're the custodians of the ARM architecture.

Inventing a new particle to explain a discrepancy has worked really well before[0]. Past results are never a guarantee, obviously! But there are lots of ways that a dark matter particle might exist but be really hard to detect; it would not at all be surprising that another particle or class of particles exist that are just really, really hard to see.

Good insulation.
This could be the right step towards algorithm transparency. It is critical in the information age we're in, while Facebook is promoting alt-right conspiracies, and YouTube is feeding flat-earthers.

Yes. There are more technical issues to resolve. (e.g., How do we verify the algorithm they present is the actual algorithm they use?) Perhaps third party audit, APIs for third parties to test the algorithm? We need constructive criticism than cynicism.
Just to offer a bit of insight, the primary vector of entry for new and repeat visitors on news sites is now a specific article, not a section front like a homepage. So, a typical article is literally the de-facto homepage you're imagining. Unless it has a sidebar (rare in the mobile age), it'll look just as anonymous as any other article.

To be sure, sections (such as a homepage) still do get significant number of visits. However, the numbers I speak of differ by an order of magnitude. Articles really are the homepages now, this isn't a blind generalization.

There's a bit of a Heisenberg effect involved here. We know not to spend too much time dressing a section front, but we know we'll be judged for it by you. So we put stuff up there that might be what you think we should think to be significant, or else you'll lose your trust in our judgment.

But by no means does seeing the placement tell you anything about effectiveness of placement.
Apple generates more than 50% of all smartphone App Store revenue, so I'd argue it has a monopoly through that lens https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/07/03/apples-app-store-...
Simple example that's been around: if I train a model on a lot of Java source code, but I provide no example of the output of those programs, has this model learned how to program in Java? And is that how humans learn programming?
>As a man who's been around the block a few times in corporate America, women are NOT outdoing us in "these three areas" like you seem to posit...

To be fair to OP, women don't have to outdo men to reject 80% men.

For example, usually women opt for men who are better than them financially. [Feel free to refute with data]

In a world where there are lots of jobs making low wages, and very few jobs where you make high income. [Feel free to refute with data]

This leaves us with 80% women earning average wage and 80% men earning average wage.

Now these 80% men are not suitable for them and women select for partners who do well financially. I've seen several papers and surveys on this, feel free to refute this with data

So, now you've 80% women aiming for 20% men who have plenty of choices and they don't want to commit nor settle.

Other than this, education and career has drastically increased the age at which women have kids.

Lots of women I know personally want to have kid - but they suffer from fertility issue mostly because most of them are in late 30s. Is this the right are to have kids? Even if it's, their body is not cooperating with them to achieve this goal.

Other than this, there is one problem that today it's very easy to leave a relationship or marriage, so most don't dream about future when future can change very fast.
I'm not who you asked, but will add my thoughts anyway.

Fundamentally, it is a business that does not scale, as you need a set number of providers per n children, and low values for n are probably going to be associated as better value. There's really no way to get efficiencies or scale, as the personal interaction and attention is what parents are really paying for.

So it come down to a question of local real estate prices and prevailing wages for the area, so I'm assuming mindvirus lives in a city with a very high cost of living and real estate costs.

How to Choose a Neutral Net Architecture for Medical Image Segmentation
7 direct reports actually seems fine if this person's role is primarily management. If they're also doing some combination of tech lead/product stuff they may want fewer reports to free up time for non-management activity.

Delegating some subset of direct reports seems less like it's about product or technical direction and more about aggregating and filtering management concerns. Presumably the whole team still works on the same thing and plans their work together, it's just that you do half the 1:1s, deal with what you can, and kick things up the chain if you can't.
Even a really crude monitoring metric would trigger alerts after a bunch of recurring calls to an endpoint from a specific place. They simple don't care at all or are too dumb to come up with basic security checks.
> It’s amazing that a decade and a half later Apple still hasn’t fulfilled Steve Jobs’ original dream of merging the web and apps.

Because Google exists, and is diametrically opposed to this vision. The past decade have shown constant examples of these two visions of the future clashing. Google wants more people on the internet. Apple wants more people on their devices.

It also looks like that study is still in the peer review process. It has the "Accepted Manuscript" flag (https://academic.oup.com/aje/pages/Instructions_To_Authors) and has at least one major error, https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwaa155...

There is absolutely nothing interesting about the Pinboard architecture or implementation; I consider that a feature!
I don't think learning a problem is harder than you thought and then still solving it is a detriment. If anything this community should be the ones that understand that the full scope of a problem often becomes apparent once you're 80% into it.

How many startups are "guaranteed to revolutionize the world in 2 years", take 4 years to get a minimum viable product, and are gone in 6?

You solve the problem, you get my credit. Fully self driving cars though I think should have been more obvious that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.. not just to Musk but to everyone working on it. It'll get there eventually too, but it's still early days.
You don't have to prove active collusion. Tacit price fixing is still anti-competitive behavior.

I suppose a more interesting question is why is fruitarian an option there? Is there some subset of that community that is overly pushy about their beliefs, or is there some inherent hidden danger in listening to "fruitarian gurus"? Do they fall somewhere near groups like breatharians?

I'm not really familiar w/ that subculture, so I'm legitimately curious.
>In other testing, I found that Zoom has a maximum password length of 10 characters, and whilst it accepts non-ASCII characters (such as ü, €, á) it converts them all to ? after you save the password

Maximum password length of 10 chars, and auto-converting non-ASCII to '?' are both extremely egregious password practices.. Why does it not surprise me Zoom is doing both. I wonder it they also silently truncate passwords > 10 chars?

These are absolute basics. Let alone not rate limiting and the laundry list of other terrible (lack of) security practices.

What it means is that for Apple to retain its $30 commission, they'll take $100 from you to refund the customer.
I think this is a tough pill for some to swallow. With as much press as we've seen about Amazon abusing their workers, or Google infringing on privacy, or social media degrading our happiness levels, people keep going back. Most people just don't seem to care much (or at least, not enough to make any serious changes to their lives).
Yeah, I wouldn't call it out and out collusion.

If the first store did 20%, it's likely all the stores would have followed suit on that price point.

30% is likely the most they can take that people will tolerate.
The idea of there even being a "right way" to immigrate is very recent and tied to racism. The "legal" immigration process is so artificially arduous and strict that unless someone who believes (b) is out there arguing and voting for sweeping and comprehensive immigration reform, they essentially believe (a) by default.

Are they obligated to do business with you? Typically the answer is no, but some countries (like Germany) stores can't ban people if they're the only store in a town. I'm not sure if this would work for Apple, but it might if you already own an iDevice.

> On (2), what does "similar specs" mean to you? I can think of several interpretations like performance/watt or performance/dollar. It is not my understanding that Intel hardware generally beats ARM in these categories.

Not the person you replied to, but this could have a couple interpretations where Intel wins. Here's one option:

If you take two CPUs with similar core counts, clock speed, and transister counts then which one will have higher throughput, lower latency, ... for typical operations? This is open to interpretation of course (e.g. if you didn't need floating point throughput then AMD bulldozer architectures were competitive when released), but it's not unreasonable to evaluate CPUs based on your personal workloads.
What competitors are there for Nintendo? Or PlayStation? Or XBox? Every one of those platforms tightly controls access to their platforms.
Well, it's up to the feed author what they want to include, and that's fine. To me, the point isn't "show all published content" in the feed, it's to notify me that new content is available. I don't mind clicking through if the content is worthwhile (which it is, because why else am I subscribed?).

Arm saturation, price hikes, and possible spinoff
The answer is that you're thinking of it the wrong way. See it this way:

You make 3 sales of $100. One gets refunded. You get paid $200 - $90 = $110 instead of $140, because in practice Apple pays you in batches and doesn't pay immediately for each purchase.
Using Chrome to generate more accessible PDFs
The iPhone is an Apple product. The App Store is an Apple product. The libraries and development tools needed to create iOS apps are Apple products.

Traditionally the company that develops a product gets to decide what features that product has. There are various laws that require a product be safe to use, is not misrepresented and does what it is advertised to do, but beyond that there are very few actual features of products that they are required by law to have. Maybe some standards they need to meet.

Sometimes companies will invite other companies to join them in adding features to a product. A TV company might add licensed audio technology from Dolby, a car company might add licensed software for infotainment or navigation software, and they may charge their customers for the added software features.

This is how games consoles work, you buy the console from the manufacturer, who licenses other companies to write games for their product as add-on modules. In the past CDs and cartridges were used, but now this often happen via downloads. These games are developed using the console manufacturers tools, run against their code libraries on the device and are clearly an extension of their product. This has been an established approach for many decades. When my kids were toddlers I bought an educational toy where you could buy little cartridges for it that added educational features.

That's all the App Store is. It's a feature added by Apple to their product for adding optional features to the device. As in many cases in the past, across many types of device, this is a feature added by the manufacturer and your relationship as a customer remains with them.

There is no law requiring that a device containing a computer, be it a car, TV, games console, phone or whatever have any specific features to enable loading additional software. That's just not a requirement that exists, and if a device does have a mechanism to add or update its software, there are no laws about how that must or must not be implemented, that I'm aware of anyway.

If you disagree that this is the way it should be that's fine, that's absolutely your right, but can you explain how such laws should be drafted. What kinds of requirements should be put on manufacturers? Under what criteria should they apply and to what devices?

If you think Apple has failed to comply with some law in the way they implemented their products, I'd appreciate some clarity about exactly what you think Apple has done wrong, and how that should be redressed.

Back in the pre-Graviton days I managed to boot FreeBSD on their ThunderX VM offering, wrote a guide on the forums, even received an email about that from staff… and a few months later they broke local boot completely and then, yeah, closed the whole offering for some reason.

Payment processors generally don't refund fees on payments when the payments are refunded, this isn't new. It's remarkable mainly because (a) it's 30%, not 3% and (b) the App store doesn't position itself as a payments processor the way Stripe does, so it sounds really weird that they would act like one.

If the app store took a 3% chunk and never refunded it regardless of the ongoing status of the transaction, that would put them right in line with other payment processors. It would also still net them billions of dollars, I think!

Despite the fluid nature of consideration in contract law there are checks to ensure you can't demand $5000 for a single aspirin. That seems like it'd come into play here.
