Wasn't it a Labor prime minister that called the Senate 'unrepresentative swill'?

> A conservative party would fundamentally not do this.

Experiences in Canada, Austria, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand (of particular relevance to Australia), Sweden, the UK where conservatives in power had at least some if not most of their representatives vote LGBT marriage in is evidence to the contrary. Or is it that they aren't really "conservative" either by some arbitrary yardstick?

And to say that they allowed its members to vote how they actually always wanted to vote (now there's a democratic deficit) within '48 hours' after delaying it for months and toddling around with a voluntary postal survey for BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS for months and months after years of intransigence is highly disingenuous.
The problem is that there is no standard form of microtransaction on the internet. I'd happily pay 2 cents to read an article, which is a lot more than the website would receive in advertising revenue, but not $10/month in subscription fees.

We basically need an aggregator of all of those 2 cents, since individually the payment fees will be extreme.
> It is a disorder, and it benefits from treatment. Its not fun for anybody except for the manic.

So whom does the “treatment” benefit? ;P

No, real mania is dangerous and the patient surely benefits from treatment. But there is a rather wide gray zone where I sometimes get a feeling it’s not the patient that benefits from the “treatment”, but rather his or her social surroundings. Not entirely unproblematic from an ethical perspective... depending on the reasonableness of those in the social surroundings of course.
I mean, in some ways they have been consistently beating amazon. They are usually my first go-to(or were before lockdown) because nearly everything could be delivered same day, while Prime Now has such a limited selection it's not even worth checking. Also the ability to just go somewhere and collect the item you want is a massive advantage over amazon.
Would be nice if the title indicated this is specifically about Python. [edit: about CPython, actually]
I often try to support a creator and find out that monthly support is my only option ... which I am not willing to do.

Here are some ways we have always supported creators without subscriptions: I can buy a book, watch a movie in a theater, get a CD, attend a play, buy a painting, etc.

I'm still willing to do those things, I do them all the time. I'm still willing to spend a lot of money on those things. I am not willing to lay you $5/month in the future to see what you may or may not produce. I'd rather give you $100 one time for something really great.

Automatic subtitles for videos in a different language are basically a joke currently.

I agree that we're progressing fast, but fully automated machine translation is IMHO still lightyears away (if at all feasible). And to automate subtitle generation in a foreign language, you first need to have speech to text, which is also still error-prone, so now you have two sources of errors.

We're seeing the uncanny valley problem: By now, things like machine translation are so good for simple use cases, that they're being aggressively pushed, and at first it may even appear correct / as if it was done by a human, but then suddenly the translation becomes nonsensical and weird. Even for the well-received deepl, it's still surprisingly easy to give it some text that it really struggles with.

Incidentally, I remember attending a lecture about 12 years ago by the then new professor of NLP who was talking about his success with using machine aided human translation of subtitles from Swedish into Norwegian. Granted, a lot may have improved in 12 years, but it still struck me as impressive that even in languages that closely related, the best they could hope for in a research project was machine aided translation.
I agree wholeheartedly.

I was trying to get across that just because you collect metrics it doesn't make them useful. I encourage people to generate metrics for everything, we can always join them together later to make something useful.

I think what I should have said is: "Collect metrics for everything, but be sure to display them is a way thats relevant to the customer"
If we’re being pedantic, Primark/Penneys is a subsidiary of ABF, which is a British company.
This pre-registration strategy may work for very applied, translational, or clinical studies but it does not make sense to do this for basic science, where you are constantly refining and redefining the scientific question.

The reality is a lot of time spent by scientists is actually defining the problem properly (even after you think you’ve defined the problem properly), and preregistration studies would hinder the flexibility to adapt and change the direction given new understanding.
Auto translation is probably a big deal for yt/google long-term. If they maintain/achieve dominance in this field they're practically the only one to have detailed insight and anlysis about video content. Fostering an alternative market would be negative and cause more uproar as soon they expand their auto translation services.
Interestingly, when organisms retain this kind of diversity it is because of the evolutionary advantage that it confers. In this case that would be the ability of plants in general to evolve towards other colors. For this to be an advantage the driver for that would have to be present in our long term environment. Possibly some sort of moderator appears in the atmosphere? Or does the spectra of the sun change due to some process?
I disagree. Great engineering is when you propose and implement (or lead a team implementing) a complex, novel and valuable piece of engineering. Linus is a great engineer, key people working on database systems are great engineers etc. What you're describing is "just" competent engineering.
No, I do not, and you are wrong. Internet does not solve the problem of Publishers ripping of creators. Instead modern technology intensifys the problem even more. This is happeng already today in the grey areas of copyright. Without copyright world would likely go full back down to the lowest levels of culture.
> They pay taxes to the US IRS for their profits made in the US.

That's plain wrong. Every company only pays income tax in its country of residence. The only difference is that there might be a sales tax for physical goods.

They're right though.

Theft in most jurisdictions requires dishonest appropriation of a thing, with the intent of permanently depriving the owner of it.

Copying an object doesn't count as theft because the owner still has the original thing.

This is why copyrights have their own laws and aren't included in theft laws.

And let's add a further wrinkle: often, copyright violation isn't even a crime. There are things that turn it into a crime (doing it as part of business is the main one), but most people downloading a film from PirateBay are not committing a criminal offence.
Author of SingleFile here. I think you could fix the delay issue by disabling some options (search "CPU consumption" in the help page of SingleFile).

I might add an option in the extension for delegating to a "daemon" (based on the CLI code [1]) the capture of a page.

I've seen that too and I simply don't understand that. Why do some people half-translate an app? Did they just hardcode some of the copy by accident?
In my European country checks were phased out somewhere in the mid 90s lol.
You are both on to something.

Optimists are more likely to survive situations that are survivable given their lack of planning.

Pesimists are more likely to survive by planning around crysises and avoiding them.

There can be selection bias in both cases, and that's why we still have both.
I hear the media say this all around the world all the time, and they of course always mean themselves... But is it true? There are many and many independent reporters with their blogs and twitters (do we call that media?), independent news sites (that probably is media) that are not with the mainstream media on these legal requirements, and actually in my country the mainstream media is so corrupt a half of the population simply does not care about them and get their news from other sources, like blogs and twitter.
Danish news have never been on Google News, even though Google News launched in Sweden and Norway. Back around 2005-2006, the Danish newspapers fought hard to forbid "systematic deep linking" to their news.

We're still able to find Danish news by Google search though, it's only the aggregation that Danish media is afraid of, as they are afraid to loose out on a lot of income on the ads they show while people browse their websites.
If you don't care about quality then I guess you are right.
> but programming is also an essential skill for pushing the boundaries in just about any field now

This is definitely true. But it is important to remember that writing code is a means to an end and not the goal in many PhDs. You do it to get results and to many bears no more importance than measuring chemicals or prepping an animal for examination. In the eyes of professional coders this will lead to poor practices (hard to maintain, little testing, etc.) but up to a certain degree this is fine, IMO, because you don't need production-quality code to get results.

> You don't need to get a phd to push the boundaries of knowledge
> A lot of work that generates real value is also pushing the boundaries of computer science.

I agree with both of these. A lot of cool stuff pushing the boundary of knowledge is happening outside of academia. But a lot of cool stuff is also happening within academia.

> Good scientific work often has real world impact.
I agree, whether it is within or outside of academia. As I think that this is the goal of academia, I remain with my stance that if you aren't trying to do that you are in the wrong place.
What about Haskell then?

Are there any products from “successful “ startups that were fully validated before being developed/taken to market? Focusing too much on validation can swap risk of not having market fit with the risk of being late to market. You are not the only one working on an idea.
There was no option to disable them, and if you are multilingual it's a PITA. Sometimes I became so annoyed that I closed YT.

It's not the same effort for my brain to keep up listening to spanish, english, french or portuguese. And I WANT TO KNOW what I'm getting into. If I want subtitles or translations I'll activate it myself, thanks.

Sometimes I browse for a topic and I need a native POV out of it, but it became so difficult because YT just treats you like if you were stupid so yo loose time going back and forth.

IDK, maybe there was some option to manage it, but it was very well hidden in menus that I couldn't find it.
My idea: Every family (couple+one or more kids) that does not own a home is able to live in a public house that has a robotized vertical farming aquaponic system designed to feed a family of five, what they do with any surplus is up to them. Singles/couples share houses. No money.

SAT solvers use CNF (conjuction of disjunctions).

DNF-SAT can be trivially solved in O(n), because each clause directly encodes a solution (except for clauses that are contradictory, of course). But there's no known way to "convert" arbitrary formulas to DNF in polynomial time, so such a solver is not useful.
So I'd wager the approach was successful, though not necessarily the desired results. However, if the rest of the world followed suit, they can't host snippets anymore and they'll be forced to pay or give up that feature, no?

This improvement is for cells made by Panasonic, for Tesla. The thing is, Tesla plans to be manufacturing its own cells by then, and they certainly don't intend to produce less energy-dense batteries than their suppliers. We'll see on Battery & Powertrain Investors day (Sept. 22).

Elon recently invited OEMs to partner with Tesla for battery supplies. I wouldn't be surprised that they keep their in-house cells for Tesla vehicles and stationary storage, and make "their" Panasonic cells available to auto competitors (this way, they secure the global supply chain, set prices for the industry, have the option to bundle other products/services, etc.) "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
This is the best way to do it: just paywall your articles.

The internet made people believe everything is free. But free news is either propaganda or a disguised ad.
They do. The paper's point is that plants want to choose two wavelengths with different amounts of average power. This gives the plant a window to tune within to get the desired amount of output power. If the total illumination drops, the plant compensates by tuning more towards the high power wavelength, and vice versa.

But the paper makes the point that the tuning mechanism isn't perfect due to internal noise. If the power level difference between the two input wavelengths is too great, then the random fluctuation of the tuning mechanism will itself create a lot of noise in the output. So basically there's an optimal value for the difference of average power between the two wavelengths.

Now, why the plant doesn't absorb the peak green wavelength and the closest wavelength whose power is exactly the optimal difference less was unclear to me. I think the idea was that the plant also wants to minimize the wavelength difference, and a given power delta can be achieved with less difference in wavelength in the steeper sloping sections of spectrum power graph.

To Founders, how do you handle everything requiring your attention?
While growing the company we need to touch all parts all the time, set new systems in place etc.. The problem is task switching. We lose a lot of mental momentum where we switch between
- community management
- product management
- code reviews & training of new coder
- interviewing new people for hire
etc..

What is a solution you went with that worked well for you? I feel like constantly my head is all over the place, everything is requiring my attention and I have a hard time focusing on the task at hand.

Huawei Game Service Implementation: Events
On certain social issues the US is more liberal than a number of European countries. The US achieved same-sex marriage nationally in 2015 (before Austria, Germany and Finland did), but five years later it still hasn't happened in Italy or Switzerland, and in a number of Central and Eastern European countries the popular and government attitude towards it is positively hostile.

Similarly, despite abortion being such a political hot potato in the US, Roe v Wade ensures that US abortion laws are on the whole more liberal than those of a number of European countries.

On the other hand, if you look at an issue like the death penalty, the US retains it federally and in a majority of states, while every European country has officially abolished it except for Belarus. Even in Russia, whose government often takes quite conservative stances on social issues such as LGBT rights, it is officially abolished (although you could argue that the frequency of extrajudicial killings in Russia means that true abolition has not yet been achieved in practice.) And, death penalty aside, the US approach to criminal law is far more punitive than that of many European countries, and US policing also tends to be a bit of an outlier in terms of aggressiveness and brutality.

I think on social issues it really depends on which particular social issues you are most concerned with.

Comet. Same model of shop. I got a belt drive turntable kit, kept it for years. Funny thing: you flicked the motor in to life to make sure it spun the right way.

The real newspapers (or what is left of them) can still be found offline in stores, so Google is not required to find them online.

I rarely google to find a serious publication. Perhaps it would be a good thing if Google stops indexing news sites.
What I am writing may not a good idea, but it works. Let's assume you like 12 patreon content creators. You can subscribe one month per year to each (1st-Jan, 2nd-Feb, and so on), binge consume the contenct they made for the past 12 months, and unsubscribe to them. This way you kick your FOMO habit, get to see what you enjoy.

I do this with TV series (in a way). I stopped watching Lost, HIMYM, and a few more, and then I binge watched in the end (in the very end). I watched the last 3 seasons of HIMYM and last 2 season of Lost like this. It was more an exercise to kick the FOMO habit, and avoid the 'agony' of waiting for the next episode to drop .

Most content creators give you access to all their past stuff.

Again, I know this may not be ethically "good", but it's part of the game of using patreon and other content sharing management services the way it better suits ME/YOU, than them.

In the scenario of enjoying 12 creators, you spread them out in the year, you spend $5 per month instead of 12*5= 60 per month. In the span of a decade, that adds up to a lot. And don't get me wrong, it's not about being cheap. If you feel bad, go and donate that saved $ in a charity. It's about controlling your time and your FOMO habit.
I think trying to identify evolutionary motivation is generally risky and subject to all kinds of human biases. Any hypothesis is unfalsifiable (so, it's speculation, not science).

As a result this may trigger a nasal congestion relief. Try this the next time you catch a cold.
