Seems like a simple case. Citi (accidentally) stole money from a customer and gave it away. Recipients of stolen property must return it. Revlon has loans that weren't sue, so the transferred money doesn't belong to the lenders.

Yes, absolutely! That sounds wonderful, and we certainly won't redistribute the data without asking.

We have a server with a 24TB NAS. If you send me your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub key, I can add you to it and you can upload straight to the NAS. Would that work?

I have an event to go to today, but if you hop into our ML discord server (https://github.com/shawwn/tpunicorn#ml-community) and DM me (I'm shawn), we can figure out the details. Or email me (shawnpresser@gmail.com).

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I had in mind when I was writing my comment. I think it would be straightforward to extend StyleGAN to synthesize full spectrum data. And the results would look pretty darn cool.

I agree with your sentiments overall. The whole thrust of the article feels anecdotal. We will feel some acceleration of remote working trends over the next decade+ as a direct result of covid but it's not going to happen overnight.

Now I’m wondering about what happens when we change email addresses to lowercase...

It’s clearly bad (and I’m a left wing liberal), I think we need to give states more rights even if it sometimes will hurt causes we like. I also think we need to do another thing that is similar but not the same which is to drive down the stakes of politics. The president needs less power, and the Supreme Court should be more predictable (for example each president nominates two new Supreme Court justices). Spreading out power is a form of decentralization.
OPDS – Easy to Use, Open and Decentralized Content Distribution
The terms "gender" and "sex" are defined differently by different people, but in general the definition is something like this:
Sex is usually defined in terms of genitalia, genotype (chromosomes) or similar biological properties. However, this is still not a binary male/female property, see for example intersex people. Depending on your definition, undergoing surgery may change your sex, gender, or both.
We frequently use localized upper/lower casing at my workplace, as we do not store such stylization in user facing copy. Most copy is written and translated in sentence case or title case (because both are much harder to achieve programmatically), and then our designers have the option of using that casing as-is, or using all-upper or all-lower.
There are ways to provide verifiability without that vulnerability. But since there's no way to prevent the wrench guy standing over your shoulder, I think you could only really solve that problem if you vote in person. If you're doing that I still think blockchain voting is great, but then you should also print out a paper trail and tally that separately. Then you have two overlapping systems with different trust properties and both must be in agreement for the election result to be valid.
The reference velocity is the one such that you see an equal amount of cosmic background radiation in every direction. If you're moving relative to it, you'll see extra radiation from in front of you (much like how you see extra cars moving in the opposite direction from you on a highway).
And it's cheaper! 35% is a lot. That figure will likely be a lot higher given the lack of safetynets in the US already that result in homelessness.
Receipts (paper records received after voting) are OK as long as they don't reveal who you voted for. Confusingly, sometimes this is called "receipt-free".
How is TikTok any different than Vine or Meerkat or periscope or any other video/SnapFaceTwitter toy? Do people really have that short of a memory?
>But with absentee voting, the votes are still counted by hand.

The verification is manual, but the counting probably isn't. At least in California, absentee (mail) ballots are exactly the same ones you get at the polling place. You put them in an unmarked envelope, which you place inside another envelope with your information and signature.

The counting center verifies the information on the outer envelope and ensures you didn't already vote elsewhere in-person. If it's good, then the inner (unmarked) envelope is taken out and a machine processes the ballot as if you were in the physical precinct.
They had to get clearance and satisfy the USG the products would still be available to third parties. Had to do this in Korea and China too. Once the governments were satisfied, the acquisition was completed.
If you believe that Mozilla should fundamentally be Firefox (and I am sure many would agree) you will probably be frustrated to learn that Google gives Mozilla about $500 million a year for that and that The Core Firefox team is about 40 people.

All the rest of the formerly 1000 employees do other things on behalf of Mozilla but generate basically no revenue.

I personally place a huge value on some of these "other" projects though such as MDN the absolute best documentation out there for the web.
I only have one tiny detail: Bursty traffic means that your cluster needs to be able to deal with the peaks. If you running an on prem Kubernetes cluster, then there is no savings, unless you can use the capacity for something else during non peak periods.

The scaling, and potential savings is a cloud feature, not a feature of Kubernetes.
Always find it interesting the narrative difference between those who stayed in the city and those who left. Each side wants to be right.

I'm biased but I don't think I've ever seen the city more beautiful than this summer with outdoor dining, street closures for more walkability, etc.
Just as a tip if you experience bad performance of SQLite once the size reaches a triple GB range: Understand how the BEGIN/END TRANSACTION and transaction control in general works, learn about journaling why and when you need it and how to control it via the appropriate pragmas and be careful about indexing. You can increase sqllite3 performance by literally 4 orders of magnitude with simple tweaking to the point that you could easily serve a website with a million hits per day off a single SQLite database.
The way I like to explain it to people is that culture, ancestry, and language are 3 separate (but related) things. Knowing one doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the other two. In this case, it would tell you that the genetics are not sufficient to describe the categories of Roman ethnicity without additional justification that in this one particular case, they are.
The main problem of Google Cloud is simply that that no amount of money can pay off a 10 year late start in a race against the #1 incumbent.

> So phrased differently, one of the most important properties of any voting systems is that people afterwards can't just call the result into question.

This is a solved problem with in person voting, I would say that is one thing where South Africa has gotten it down quite well.

There is voter ID at the polls with voter registers to ensure only citizens can vote and nobody can vote twice, vote boxes are sealed and only unsealed with observers present from all parties and international observers, there is also observers at the polling stations from all parties, overall there is nothing to dispute and even in one of the most corrupt countries in the world election results are not disputed because everybody knows it would be absurd to dispute.

> You could make a case that Unicode should have different "i" characters for different languages.

And different "SS" for any case where the lowercase was an sz, of course at some point Germany introduced an uppercase SZ character to avoid that round trip loss issue, but we still have tons of text that use the old sz -> SS conversion. Also note that "y" in Germany, not all German speaking countries follow the same rules for sz, some dropped it entirely. We basically need something like the time zone database to have even a snowballs chance in hell to handle text correctly.

Periodically I'm jealous of googlers who try new stuff. Our company started ~1975 and comes with a good bit of crappy legacy code that as good business and customer driven people we maintain while we deprecate and replace components.

We sometimes are too conservative.

Their first example for BDD is just painful to look at.

Transforming the "business" language into a "developer" language so that "there is no glue code" is missing the point of BDD.

Imagine putting that example in front of a user and asking: "Is this what you want?". Even if the end user is the developer using your API it makes little sense.

As usual, I mat be missing something here - but it seems it's basically moving the "glue code" to the Gherkin level, making using the Gherkin useless.

Mental illness itself is exasperated by not having a home. No silver bullets, give them all a safe shelter while you work out other issues
Save your breath - the issue isn't coming up with an idea. It's building a consensus around it in the relevant community.
Yep. I really didn’t see any convincing arguments whatsoever.

The thing about large cities is that their trends move slowly. It isn’t evacuated in a year. Meaning there’s time for economics to self correct. If there’s any sort of exodus, prices will fall and people will move in.

The Gornja Siga area (where Liberland is) did not appear over time as the river changed, it's that the Serbians are explicitly using the historical river while the Croatians are explicitly using the contemporary river, which results in Serbia not claiming the piece of land and Croatia declaring it belongs to Serbia.

You have a great story. Out of 100 people in abject poverty in the US, how many do you think ended up like you to "make it"?

Rather than talk about your story and how you were able to "make it", I think it'll be really cool if you found a way to help open up this social mobility so that is is accessible for more people.

That's what I'm trying to do anyways. I've moved quite a few people from 40k / year (whole family) to making 150k / year. You not only learn alot by doing that, you can also create miracles in people's lives.
That could be fixed in 1 day if the CEO simply said hire people to maintain this stuff, and don't require them to get promoted. Google's a mega corp now, not a startup.

This was my favorite MPC out of all of them I owed/used. I loved the way my drums/samples sounded vs the 1000/2500 family I had later on. I had to sell it cause our condo at the time was too small for all my equipment. It made me really happy to see this on HN.
Anecdotally, I've seen about 10:1 ratio of people talking about leaving NYC vs people actually doing it. In fact, NYC has had a net negative migration rate for a long time (eclipsed by birth rate). The company I'm with right now recently declared they will never reopen their offices but NYC employees are staying put. I can foresee a substantial mid-term decrease in commercial real estate that may finally bring residential real estate back down to Earth.
that is the plan. No phones between 8am - 8pm, like a true bootcamp :)
> New York City is literally statistically safer for murder per capita than many of these smaller cities.

This little trick is a pet peeve of mine.

Per capita crime statistics mean nothing to the people living in a city. It doesn't matter that each person you run into each day is slightly less likely to be a criminal if you run into 100x more people in NYC than in a small suburb.

What matters is the question "how likely am I to be the victim of a crime?". The answer is: a lot more likely in NYC than a small city.

As someone who is currently moving out of a major city, I think this is overblown. COVID will end, probably next year, and the vacuum that drew people and dollars into NYC will resume. Some people and businesses will move out during COVID. Many will move in once COVID is over and rents have fallen.
Textbook case of 'whataboutism'. Besides, avoiding Facebook is easy. Avoiding Google is impossible. I am much more worried about Google because of that.

That's great for new programmers. It's terrible for people in a mature ecosystem of lame duck software. Some production critical python code is 20 years old.
I remember load testing both ES and Solr about 3 years ago. What was tested was the indexing of randomly generated 500 word documents and keyword based search. When it came to indexing, Solr was faster but ES had better throughput. When it came to querying, Solr was the clear winner.

> Meaning that right now it isn't that way, right?

Correct, the current spec doesn't allow that. But, as I said, I think that is something that could reasonably easily change if many sites wanted to publish with vanilla CSS and HTML.

> For some reason everyone still seems to associate amp with Google, and the only times I can remember finding AMP pages are when I search with Google

Google started the project, and is still by far the biggest contributor. But Bing also supports AMP, caching and serving AMP pages: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/bing-amp-cache-bc1c884c
Good point. It's not an ideal situation, but it beats Google alone holding the keys and could even lead to the outcome I mentioned in my first comment if non-profit free software advocates play their cards well.
> Has anyone here ever had a use case for toLower() where they actually wanted localization to apply?

On many documents, including Turkish passport and identity card and many (all?) other passports, names are written in all caps. Maybe toLower() is not that useful, but toUpper() is crucial in any application where you are dealing with real person names.

I don't think it's a fair comparison. Microsoft still dominates the exact same market they did before (desktop & laptop), with roughly the same market share. What you're describing is a new market bundled with the old market.

"Consumer computing devices" is such a vague market. If you study markets at such a big scope something like Texas Instruments wouldn't even make a blip while if you're paying more careful attention you'll find they absolutely dominate the scientific calculator market.

> Why would you still trust a password manager after seeing the video? And wouldn't it be incredibly stupid if an entire nation put their passwords in a vault controlled by some company in possibly another nation?

I think you should use a password manager, I do, and the people I know that don't keep forgetting their passwords, keep reusing them, and generally just practice horrible security.

As to which one, I would recommend an open source one like BitWarden, but they won't fund YouTube videos on important issues because they don't have the money.

I doubt Tom Scott would recommend that everyone in the world use this one password manager, and it won't happen from him endorsing it. And I think that integrity of elections are more important than the security of passwords, even though I guess they are somewhat intertwined. For important things multi factor auth should be used which won't be defeated by passwords only.
But the particular simplifying assumption you made invalidates the whole thought experiment. Who is moving faster actually depends on where you're looking from. This turns into complete nonsense if you assume instantaneous communication - who needs to slow down for whom?
Cool project! I had a Mac SE a while back that I only finally got rid of a couple of years ago. It did have some weird ancient Ethernet card that had an actual 10baseT interface with the RJ45 connector. I think I managed to get it connected back before I lost the floppy disk with the drivers for it. Like the article says though, the trouble is what to do with it after you're connected.

Even over the fast-ish Ethernet connection, any attempt to browse the web is painfully slow, esp when dealing with a tiny black-and-white screen. That's before even getting into crypto issues with modern TLS and the lack of modern Javascript. Considering that the phones in everyone's pocket these days make vastly better web browsing gadgets, it's hard to see what it's good for, besides a curiosity.
As it isn't yet mentioned: for these cases the Python standard library explicitly has https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/stdtypes.html#str.casefo... (str.casefold), which aggressively lowercase-normalizes strings with an algorithm from the unicode standard. Every case comparison using lower() instead of casefold() can be considered a bug.
I disagree. Even if NYC goes "dead" for a while -- maybe even for a generation -- it will eventually come back.

In every continent today, most major cities have been around for millennia, surviving through all kinds of natural and man-made disasters:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_continuously_in...

It seems that as long as populations in surrounding areas survive (i.e., as long as populations aren't wiped out, as apparently happened with, say, Mayan cities), large cities tend to persist century after century, coming back again and again.

Most hate originates because they question whether it actually was cruft and wheter the new solutions are really better. And even more hate critics the way transition was handled. And indeed, that some removed features were added later again speaks for a certain lack of insight when decicions were made.

That the transition took nearly a decade (and for some still goes at this point) and several minor-versions is another hint at strong problems in planing. At the end we got something better, but the road toward it was just far to painful for what we got. And this fuels hate till today.
