Better is not the same as easier. This is such an equivocation fallacy since both of those terms are highly subjective. Maintenance costs are measured in numbers and not some imaginary developer ideal of job security.

It's a shame that there is such a lack of knowledge on religion and concepts of god/creator in the modern, Western world, and the widespread assumption that a simple naive concept of the divine is the only one which can be true/false. I feel like many mathematicians (including Erdos) would find Platonism and Neoplatonism relevant and interesting, especially considering that Platonism is fairly popular with regards to mathematical objects (famously supported by Gödel.)

>The article just tries to make something easily feasible look futile.

Assuming we still need minerals for all the existing stuff we use, then we have to approximately double that just to manufacture enough EVs to replace cars in Europe, and probably quadruple it to cover Europe and the US. I have no idea how much would be needed to manufacture the wind turbines, hydroelectric generators, solar panels, etc, but I would assume it's about the same order of magnitude. So, we are looking at needing nearly 10x the annual production of the minerals mentioned, just to supply Europe and the US with EVs over the next 15 years. I don't see how you can call that feasible.

I also don't understand why boosting mineral extraction is so casually mentioned - I suppose externalizing pollution is one of the main benefits of EVs. Cobalt mining in particular is no joke.

Kay was made Apple fellow so he could be lured to work for Apple from where ever he was then working (General Magic or Xerox), can't really remember.-- I think folklore has something on this as well.

Atkinson was given fellowship because Jobs wanted to make him happy. [1]

The way I see it, Apple gives fellowship to people to make them feel themselves important and keep everyone in the room happy and when the press put's their name next to other giants,that must be massive ego satisfaction -- in a positive sense(it was apparently Schiller's idea to use click wheel for original iPod.[2]), for the lack of better choice of words on top of my mouth right now.

I have this option enabled and you would be surprised how many major web sites it breaks.

We can blame chrome and safari all we like, but the real blame is on web devs who had 1-2 years to fix this and just can't bother (until forced by Google or Apple).

Edit: I generally address this by contacting the site admins, showing them screen dumps of their broken site and say they should demand their web devs fix this for free since their design goes against industry best practices (I often include link to Mozilla article on this).

If that doesn't help, I try again with the higher ups, telling them their store have silently been rejecting paying customers and their IT people have refused to fix it. This usually fixes the issue quickly, only to come back after the next major site update.

A company offering technological innovation to gain advantages in a market is going to ban shoppers who use technological innovation to gain advantages in their internal market?

There's obviously competition among shoppers. The argument presented in this article is that those with technological advantages aren't acting fairly, but considering the dynamics of the shoppers' market, I would argue that they are not only acting fairly but are introducing what can be the next phase of innovation for the entire business. Instacart may have explored instant match in the past but found issues with it. Rather than drop it entirely, maybe they ought to revive the idea but refine it in consideration of what sniping is accomplishing.

A collection of the worlds best SMS Marketing case studies
We’ve been building in the SMS eCommerce space for the past 2 years. We were previously operators of a brand using SMS as a key part of our online strategy, and later pivoted to create the most powerful conversational commerce solution available (blueprint.store) after seeing how important 1:1 connection is and the lack options available.

Throughout this time, we’ve seen hundreds of different examples of SMS marketing (both good… and very very bad) but without any real structure or review process. We wanted to dig deeper into the tools used, the different elements to each SMS strategy, and ultimately where are the stand-out examples? We’ve spent the last few months building detailed case studies and the tools used across the best SMS marketing examples in the world.

Our key takeaways from building that website.

The only 3 brands (out of hundreds) to really stamp their authority and execute on their SMS strategy. Interestingly, the each shared 3 key elements. 1.) They provided value to their audience before anything else (Before any offer or sales-y message, each of these brands created engaging and useful content to their subscriber base.). 2.) They didn’t spam their audience with offers (The bottom line is important, lets not forget that, but these brands really see the long-term value in building trust and brand equity before any sort of sale request.) 3.) They each created their own persona and tone of voice (Every message and every touchpoint was carefully crafted with a friendly and approachable persona’s/tone of voice).

We are not talking about just a few games as in the pre-steam days, but ~30% of all games on steam have native ports for linux now and over 70% can be played with proton by now.

And in the end you will always have to make a choice what games to play, since not everyone owns every console ever (which have exclusive titles) or the latest and greatest hardware to play the very latest AAA titles (quite a few of which have native linux ports by now)
The main application of background removal is online meetings and its already well implemented but it leaves a lot to be desired.

That's the most obvious case people see right now because we're doing more video calls in lockdown and people see it as a funny gimmick to play with on Google Meet, but background removal has been around for years in the professional video and film industry. Video chat is absolutely not the main application of the technology.

I understand the sentiment. But I think the best approach is a bespoke app for each platform in the own native toolkit.

I have rarely enjoyed using a Gtk or Qt app on macOS because they feel alien.

On windows for example there seems to be no rhyme or reason for widgets, mainly due to historical reasons.

Games don’t need to be consistent because they take up the whole screen and are immersive. Some very specific programs such as the Godot editor are a good example of a similar usage.
Ohh God, can't upvote this enough. I feel the same. I work as a frontend dev and I just can't believe the amount of stuff we do in the user's browsers just because it's convenient for us, developers or because asking backend devs to do it will take longer or because it's the way to do it in React. SPAs can be faster of course, but most of the times they are not, and they are a lot worse than their equivalent rails or django app because your company just doesn't have the resources Facebook has. And even Facebook is terribly slow, so not sure what the benefits are at the end of the day.

Talking of reddit, I just cannot use it. I rely on old.reddit.com for now and the day it goes away I will only use it from a native client on my phone, or just not use it anymore.

I feel like repeating myself in every single comment I do on this topic but I really believe that tools such as Turbolinks, Stimulus or my favourite: unpoly are highly underrated. If we put 20% the effort we put on SPAs on building clean, well organized and tested traditional web applications we would be in a much better place, and faster (in the sense of shipping and of performance).

We should focus more on the end user and the business and a bit less on what's cool for the developers.

The flaw in that logic is assuming that the total amount of work being done is the same for both client-side and server-side rendering.
The epsilon model is perfectly adequate, and does not assume epsilon is constant on a given machine (the article glosses over this in the first paragraph where epsilon is introduced, but it is spelled out later).

In fact the epsilon model is key to being able to do a mathematically formulated error analysis at all.

Let's outlaw cars and kitchen knives as well.

Oh and... guns? Outlaw guns in America? :) They can be dangerous too.
That was the problem in the beginning though, waging a separatist war. It's why all this started when a lot of Uyghurs came back from Syria after fighting for ISIS.

Do you think more of those bombing campaigns, taking hostages at police stations and throwing hand grenades out of cars into busy market bazaars will improve the situation for the people of Xinjiang?
> If you trust Apple that they do not have such proxy, you might as well trust them to not snoop on your chats and store them unencrypted on Apple's servers, saving you from a lot of problem worrying about your keys, devices, etc.

As a universal statement, this is far too simplistic of a comment about a system's security and trust. Security without a notion of threat model is quite irrelevant. There's quite a large spectrum between trusting Apple with respect to the binary they serve me not being actively malicious and by-and-large does what it says it does; that they are not actively presenting someone else's key to my chat parties, vs. trusting them with my unencrypted data on their servers. At the very least, the latter would not be safe under subpoena, or data leak, or a rouge employee, for instance. Plus, in practice, if they present a malicious binary to everyone or substitute keys, someone likely notices at Apple scale. If I am that interesting of a target for them that they decide to target me specifically, I have bigger worries, as I am trusting the OS and hardware anyway (and still, there's hopefully some level of forward secrecy). In fact, to me, and to vast majority of people, a random exploit in their OS or physical theft of the phone carries a higher risk than Apple directly attacking them.

So, no, I fully reject that iMessage security is substantially equivalent to say, "Facebook Messenger" (even if run by Apple). I posit the delta is almost as much as HTTPS with Let's Encrypt cert compared to plain HTTP. And yes, there are no doubt use-cases that iMessage is ill-suited for; doesn't mean we should just give up on it for the other 99%.

> In real life usually we have no idea about priors

Priors are your previous knowledge on the topic.

> One textbook example of Bayes theorem is how doctors overestimate the probability of being positive for a disease. But what are the priors?

In this example, doctors overestimate precisely because they don't take the priors into account.

Doing something risky the day before / feeling funny is extra evidence that is assimilated (or should be) into the likelihood ratio P(D|H) / P(D). This is information the patient should share with the doctor.

Of course, if they don't, then the Bayes estimate is the best guess given all the information the doctor has.

Edit: Your criticism about how we choose priors is fair. The better you are at this, the more accurate your answers become. I mention more about this in the "putting it to practice" section.
So what's burning above the motor, I thought these were closed cycle engines?

There’s an even easier giveaway - the bloody great cloud of NO2 that immediately appears. I think anyone who’s ever seen a fertiliser dump go up will have immediately recognised this explosion - reminded me of my childhood, when we’d regularly go and explode things with the stuff.
Side note: It's a pretty website, but the text is quite hard to read.
Note necessarily a problem if you want to filter out people that favor content over form, just something to be aware of.
There are also advantages for the user. For example, new features arrive for all platforms at the same time; there is no prioritization of platforms or such. Same for bugs - apart from issues stemming from Electron itself, they're likely to appear on all platforms and therefore likelier to get fixed.

In essence, the old "only X% of our users use platform Y, it's not worth it to make this feature/fix this bug for them" does not exist anymore with something like Electron, and while this is ultimately also a cost consideration, it does come with benefits for me as a user, especially if I'm on a minority platform.
it is possible for two of the three parties to realise a profit at the strike, and the third to ultimately profit from holding the security.

it does follow that a and then b could have made more profit by not lending or selling, but it is far from zero-sum.
"an unacceptable amount of site breakage"

I am already seeing that happen with FF unfortunately.
In my experience a lot of the population is very anti-Uighur and they wouldn't care that much. In the run up to this people have been conditioned by images of violent protests in the region. They have been demonized as religious fanatics. Religion in of itself is a big no-no in China. You combine that with anti-Muslim sentiment and a different ethnicity and it's pretty easy to demonize a group.

To convince them you'd really have to go into details and explain just how unjust the whole ordeal is. Most pro-govt people's default assumption will be they're doing a good job taking care of bad people.

Even the notion that someone of a different religion and ethnicity who might not speak the language should be rightfully considered a Chinese citizen deserving all the same freedoms is a tough sell.

Im surprised they didn't go for a renewables + storage approach. Partly as they'll have to import coal (avoiding imports was why they went nuclear to start with I think) and partly because they have pretty abundant opportunities for offshore wind and wave/tidal power...
There are other possible goals. This kind of accidental gathered data is legally toxic.

In this case, I presume it is about friction while shopping. If you say aloud 'I want a dollhouse' and one is delivered to your house, more money is earned. When you need 10 seconds to walk to the device, thats 10 seconds to think if you really need it.

In theory, the free market should detect that a customer need is not met, and someone should provide an alternative.

This not happening is a clear signal that there is a too powerfull monopoly/oligipoly/cartel at work, and governemental intervention is required.
While I think it's fair to say that it's hard to come up with informative priors for many real problems, the Bayesian framework is pretty robust if you use weakly informative priors
> Companies can achieve great benefit by externalizing cost on society, but should they?

Yes, indeed they should. But the government also needs to claim taxes from companies to pay for these benefits. This concept is not even new, heck this is how most of Europe works.
