In the United States, housing investment is a speculative activity because : 1. Govt encourages higher home prices because they can avail higher property taxes 2. Investment by foreign interests and sometimes this is used to launder money. Leading to inflating home prices resulting in higher taxes. Again, the govt encourages this.

The problem here...in the US, at least..is the govt policy and not citizens who simply treat a commodity like real estate as a speculative commodity because that’s what’s offered to them.
Equal time is effectively defunct. Fairness doctrine was overturned in Meredith v FCC. The last remaining aspect of the Comms act of 1934 was the Zapple doctrine, covering explicitly candidates, and that was removed in 2014. There's no remaining regulation.

As for Section 230 protections for civil liability: Instead of suing the platform where the content was posted for slander, you'd sue the individual that posted it. S230 protections do not extend to where the platform's own speech (ex, Twitter's blog), and they don't shield the actual speaker, where you can still recover damages. Your own example goes to this end - Twitter didn't publish anything, CNN did, and he was able to convince a court that it was slander, so he was able to recover from CNN.
> As your sense of "I" diminishes the more compassionate and caring you become.

I am not sure that is always the case. I would think that, for example, the women involved in the Charles Manson murders had a diminished sense of I, but they were not compassionate and caring.
Yes, I believe it is dangerous to think the way he does. If you believe it's dangerous to think the way I do, fine. Feel free to label it any way you want, wrongthink or whatever. As long as we all are allowed to express our opinions publicly, we will be fine.
How did you perform market research for a country like Malaysia. Was your idea based on some personal observations?
The entire basis of this paper is politically motivated and aimed at deplatforming any sites which don't abide by radical leftist progressive propaganda. Any discussion which considers Snopes a valid "fact checking" enterprise immediately loses all credibility.

Very unfortunate as the premise that Google promotes or blocks content to suit their agenda is undoubtedly accurate
Yes, at large scales space expansion can sort of make it so energy is not conserved: http://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2010/02/22/energy-i... Depending on how you look at it, anyhow. One way or another you end up with some sort of unintuitive concept being introduced.
"That maths you link to literally says that the threshold for herd immunity among the entire population is indeed lowered. "

The maths you refer to do not make that judgment at all. They indicate that, assuming all the assumptions that go into those models are true (they aren't), herd immunity may be lowered, but not by much.

My first culture shock in Berlin was a rotating billboard cube advertising a kid’s dentist, what looked like a brothel, a BMW dealership, and a massage parlour in that order.

There was a blog post that showed up on HN yesterday by the Materialize folks[0]. They found that it was more efficient to have a single thread managing all the dataflow operations for a graph than to distribute operators across multiple cores.

Broadly, the cost of moving data between cores is much higher than the throughput achieved by caching warmup effects of dedicating cores to single operators.

While I have lazily not looked at the paper, is there a possibility that the control scheme happened to be faster because closely-related threads landed on cores together?

Strange. The game isn't running on the phone. It's running on some server elsewhere. The client is just a video player with more controls.
In a few use cases, such as big-data processing and things like that, a common pattern is to haul a tiny data-processing kernel to several machines to do an operation on some data they hold, rather than shuffle the data around.

This pattern can be seen in several places and frameworks like Spark & company, and it's also pretty much the foundational idea behind processing data with Joyent's Manta[0]. It always pretty much boils down to "serialize a function, and send it somewhere, to run on the data locally".

Some of these frameworks do it only through native functions (Spark runs serialized JVM procedures, and for Python functions I believe it shells out to an actualy Python interpretes), others are completely agnostic to this and work with binaries (Manta).

It'd be pretty hard to do, and have a lot of overhead, if all of those "functions" that I'm shuffling around are, at the lower bound, 130MB in size.

I understand that a lot of this can be done directly at the Julia layer for Julia things (much like Spark does with JVM things), but it kinda limits the applications of this nonetheless.

This is the first thing that will make me considering dropping from the iOS ecosystem. However, if Microsoft or Google were in the same position, they’d act the same. This has to be fixed at a legal level.
It seems about the right time to give it a go. How is the package ecosystem in your experience? Can I expect fairly decent support for numerical optimisation stuff , graphing? Munging xml/Json/etc? Will I find that I have to write my own oauth2 client library to call API? Etc

I feel I should point out that if you need performance and you're mostly only interested in classic PyTorch or TensorFlow style machine learning (i.e. you don't need Flux.jl's characteristic flexibility), then you should really check out KNet.jl [1]. KNet is generally around the same flexibility and performance as something like PyTorch. It doesn't get nearly as much attention as Flux because it's less novel, but it really should be looked at more.

Wechat is used by a vast majority of overseas Chinese (and increasingly non-Chinese as well), and a lot of the employees would message each other about work matters over WeChat because of convenience. All these messages are routed through Tencent's Chinese servers.
I don't see how the second example has anything to do with which browser engines are allowed on the platform?
I think the heuristic is really easy: "Is it slower than before?"

If it's slower, then you require a manual override to accept the merge.

That will make performance regressions a whole lot less likely. Sure, in some cases they may be necessary, but in many cases they were unintentional; they can be fixed, and then merged.
And for those who'd like to use a keyboard shortcut to toggle keyboard control of system dialogs, there's ctrl + F7.

Although I see this is no longer displayed in the system preferences area you mention, but just tested and it still works on 10.15.6. Wonder if this is the first step in that keyboard shortcut's removal due to the touch bar.

Freedom of speech does not guarantee that you can say whatever you want without repercussions and it does not grant or guarantee you unrestricted propagation of what you write or say or record through non-governmental networks and platforms.

We simply need to understand that the Internet, social media, networks, data, etc. have changed things and will continue to do so. We need to understand them and adapt our society to be able to face the new threats they provide and enable. And we need to stop having knee jerk reactions to everything.
You gave them money after they had been doing this for a decade. You can only blame yourself.
It really depends on where you're looking. We tested neural ODE compatible solver benchmarks from 3 ODEs and about 1 million ODEs and saw an advantage for Julia of >30x across the board [1]. Then showed the spiral neural ODE from the original paper train 100x faster in Julia [2]. So it should at least be qualified as, PyTorch has some good kernels, and it has some things it doesn't optimize close to as much as Julia.

This is fascinating. Would you care to share literature that dives into this?
There is another downside to IETF/RFC/public standard: it's hard to move forward.

My favorite example: e-mail. SMTP and IMAP are old and have so many issues. On the SMTP side it is hard to identify authorized senders, which is a reason for spam, IMAP doesn't really work nice with mobile devices. On the other hand there are messengers like WhatsApp which solves many of those issues and allows adding features (for good or bad) and contrary to mail is fully encrypted and signed (assuming Facebook didn't break it, yet, after adding Signal's technology)

If all the open source components I used all used preact, I wouldn't be concerned about the 3kb. But if each component author uses a different framework or even a different version of a framework, it quickly becomes something like 3kb * number of components.
IG can use their existing ad platform to convince TT content producers to switch so they can monetize.

There isn’t brand loyalty for social media platforms but there is for the content producer. The least amount of friction and most benefit to the content producer wins.

I see TT becoming another Snap.

Who knows though, I’m not invested in either company.

We also created a simple tool called kindbox that runs K8s inside system containers deployed with Docker + Sysbox. It's a simple bash script around "docker run --runtime=sysbox" commands. It does some of the same things that K8s.io KinD tool does, but using simpler Docker images and without using privileged containers. It's meant as a reference example to show developers how to deploy K8s clusters using Docker + Sysbox.

You can find kindbox here if you are curious: https://github.com/nestybox/kindbox

Let me know what you think! (feedback link in the article)
If the only embedded browser engine available, period, is Safari as provided by the OS, then it's much harder for app makers to introduce bugs (or features) that bypass Web content restrictions. Without the restriction app makers definitely would ship the equivalent of Electron apps—that is, apps embedding an entire browser engine, with the application built on top of it—to save a buck.

[EDIT] and by Safari I mean Safari's webkit, of course. You can embed webviews! You can run JS! You can ship your own browser! You cannot ship your own browser engine, for a bunch of very good reasons, and I'm having a hard time in this case of thinking of any nefarious reasons for the rule.

[EDIT EDIT] and then of course a browser engine is a giant attack surface. Better one version of one browser engine on your device than 20 versions of 3 browsers, most of which anyone but a turbonerd won't even realize are there because they're included with non-web-browser apps.
I sympathize. I sell stuff without a price tag all the time--it's the trap of having large, high-paying customers and trying to lean down to serve small customers. They're incompatible sales motions, and the effort to set up an entirely independent, second distribution model is very expensive and time consuming so it doesn't seem worth investing in.
In some ways it can be the language fault too

#define TURNONFEAT 1
#include <xyz.h>

or
#define TURNONFEAT 0
#include <xyz.h>

That can create wildly different includes. The upcoming modules feature in C++ may change that. But unfortunately at this point we get to live with a recompile.

Pre compiled headers took some of the sting out of it. It would be nice if they could say 'in this case at this point these flags existed and I used them I will hold onto that for this header'. That way you compile it once and the rest of the project can change things in and out. The pch way seems more 'i know I will not change the flags ever'. It was a good start. Maybe a new object type and it could even live on between compiles?

Thank you for the detailed answer. I guess I should just give it a proper try by converting an old project into Julia.

So here is an example and my worries ... My project uses GDAL, PIL, SentinelSat libraries to collect Sentinel 1 imagery and process it, pandas, numpy, scipy extensively. Would I find a bunch of those modules missing? I assume so ...

I guess then I might be better of to trying a new project in Julia. Something not too easy but not too hard.

I think by 'trope' you mean another word ('canard'?) but it doesn't just affect 'government'.

The opposite - it affects everyone.

China is using their networks to steal anything they can get their hands on, influence and bully politicians, students, expats, companies, administrators, researchers.

They are surveilling and collecting information on anyone and everyone for the purposes of pursuing their strategic objectives.

For example - if you have ever spoken out against treatment of Uighurs - you may never be able to enter China. You may get various accounts banned. You may get your peers in trouble (ie WeChat requires someone to 'vouch' for you - if someone vouches for you, and you do something bad, they could face problems).

Depending on how important you are, they could lobby to have your research defunded, slander you in the press, use political leverage. You may never get a chance to work at a Chinese-owned firm.

If you have IP they will nab it, or use leverage information against you should you wish to export into China.

If they can influence your elections, or buy your politicians - they will. See: Belt and Road corruption. [1]

If you know or interact with anyone in HK, and they can use that information in any way to leverage against and compromise the democracy movement, they absolutely will.

Their strategy is bald-faced, it's right out there for everyone to see, there's nothing hidden. The only surprising issue is that there are so many Westerners who weirdly want to believe China is playing the 'modern global citizen' game - when they are obviously playing hardball realpolitik. It's fine if they want to do that, but we have to adjust accordingly.

Didn't read the article did you? He goes into what a contact sheet is, its historical origins, and why it's still relevant today. It's not a long read. Don't be scared. You can do it. I'll hold your hand.
I did (https://dvt.name/2018/04/11/godels-second-incompleteness-the...) -- but like I mentioned, it's not very accessible and I don't think it's a particularly good explanation, either (although I've yet to find one I really like, to be honest).
Apparently it's dangerous to want to understand things and improve the situations we find ourselves in, which is all I suggest we do.

This is exactly why the U.S. is headed where it's headed. The U.S. is full of people that blindly think that a group of guys 200-300 years ago somehow landed upon a perfect system that somehow fixes all issues of human emotion and behavior and protects against technological developments like the Internet which they couldn't even fathom at the time, while at the same time not caring that even the system they laid out has been eroded in the interest of consolidating power and corporations.

This is how I do this exercise. No mouse required:

1. `cmd - shift - /` to jump to Help (works in any app)

2. type `tab` ["Hmm, I don't know exact shortcut to <undo close tab>, so let me start with something generic..."]

3. search through results with ctrl-n or ctrl-p.

4. As you search, different menu items show you the shortcut

And voila, your `cmd - shift - t` is the second result under "reopen closed tab"
