Well, literacy and education, as nice as they are, don’t actually increase intelligence, do they?

I think I get what you are saying if you mean that there are a lot of law grads who have knowledge and capabilities that distinguish them greatly from people who haven’t learnt the law. All the more so for the people who come top of their class.

If I was in the presence of a top legal mind in a court of law, with much to lose or gain, I’m sure I’d be in awe. I’d certainly be prepared to suppress my own volition and be lead by their learned advice.

Outside of a court of law, I don’t think I’d have the same reverence for such a person’s vocational skills. They have knowledge of a system, and their intelligence should enable them to obtain desirable outcomes from that system. Outside of the system, I’d expect them to be more mortal.

We really need some intermediate solution for newspapers. And preferably it should have regional pricing, like videogames or music. I can't justify paying multiple instances of 200-300$/year, maybe one such sub at most. And even then I would like a clear online only way to subscribe/unsubscribe, and don't want to send a courier to Economist HQ with a papyrus scroll written in a blood of 13 young bulls killed under full moon on equinox declaring that I wish to unsubscribe.

Videogames solved this years ago and I don't get why newspapers are so slow. It is because of different generations? Game produces invented so many ways for monetization - e.g. papers could not only sell single articles but also bundle multiple articles on a single topic together and sell it discounted (e.g. I want to read about Armenia/Azerbaijan this week, maybe next week, but not whole year), they can bundle subs with some 3rd party content video/podcasts/games etc., pay as you want for bundle of articles or limited time sub but with tiered rewards for paying certain amounts, subscribers only discussion forum (real forum, not a godforsaken unmoderated board on the unusable engine). And so on, they don't even need to invent a lot, just copy existing practices.
Because OpenOffice is hugely outdated and gets barely any updates. That's a problem for various reasons:

- MS Office compatibility, which Libreoffice invests heavily in.

- Security: from what I remember OpenOffice struggled to ship fixes to various security issues in the past years. Meanwhile LibreOffice invest quite a bit: they're able to ship security fixes fast, and have spent time fuzzing and otherwise hardening code.

- Support: if you want commercial support, LibreOffice has that (not relevant for consumers, but important for enterprise).

OpenOffice hasn't even had a major release since 2014, only very rare point upgrades. That kind of cadence speaks for itself.
Anything can be developed by one person or thousands people. It depends on how organisation is managed and what other software the software need to support and communicate with.
As a publisher maybe it is time to rethink your primary metric. As a long-time reader, i'm not interesting in being a loyal reader, i'm interested in reading the best news.

I don't limit myself to the music of one band, so i really appreciate spotify, and i don't limit myself to the news of one publisher.
I think it's just an individual thing, and we should all respect that.

There is a litany of posts and opinions of people who say their eyes hurt with a light color scheme, or it produces spots in their vision, or it hurts their concentration etc. I have no reason not to believe them. Many people prefer to even show their code in a dark scheme on websites. Furthermore, many people don't care but think dark is cooler.

On the other hand, I know that for myself, coding in a dark scheme is rather painful, especially if the background is very dark (as opposed to some gray). It makes it very hard to concentrate and I experience this on all of my displays. I do not have scientific evidence for any of that, nor do I really care to produce it. However, I look at code every day, so I know what works for me. The same will be true for other people here.

I think developers should treat it as an accessibility issue. Apps should have a dark mode, since many people clearly need it. Apps should also have a light mode, since people like me need it.
If I am not wrong, this is what both Facebook and Apple trying to do. Both these platforms can sell individual articles but they choose not to do so due to high overhead in the payments infrastructure.

The problem in such a model is that the negotiating power of the publishers is much lower. And hence, they are always at the mercy of these aggregators. And I believe that will be the natural tendency of the aggregators, since they control the distribution.

Platforms like Scroll & Magzter are still in early times while Facebook and Apple are way ahead. All of them will invest in algorithms to surface personalised recommendations for users. They can easily tweak the algorithms to lean the way they wish to & the motivations will not always be clear since customers don't have visibility into their recommendation algorithms. And this will have a great impact on the Publisher since their revenue depends greatly on these recommendations favouring their content.
The people are crying out for the largest, most powerful corporations on Earth to become the "arbiters of truth" at the same time that they lament the evils of their being purely profit-driven.

Lebensraum was not about annexing ethnically German neighbors. Lebensraum was about the "German race" needing space to thrive and, being superior, having a moral right and "biological necessity" to conquer that space and wipe out the "inferior races" currently inhabiting it.

Covid Vaccines in Development
You don’t run the country, and acting against the wishes of the majority and NZ scientific advisors sounds rather despotic.

They knew exactly what they were trying on, and had been firmly told that NZ does not want any yachts to winter over: “Upwards of 300 small yachts are stuck in limbo across the South Pacific, mostly in Fiji and French Polynesia.” from https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&object...

I understand the worry that the tourists feel, stuck on their yachts. But NZ has decided we don’t want them, so they need to find another solution to their travel problems. This isn’t some sudden problem and they have had many months to sort out some solution, rather than hoping NZ might be lenient.

NZ is desperately trying to eradicate Covid, and we stand a chance of doing it, so long as we don’t do stupid shit like trusting tourists (who seem to regularly ignore lockdown rules and have been superspreaders in other countries).
Probably.

Which is why the news outlet should make their own API public. This will greatly increase the competition between aggregators.
This is the case in Canada as well. If one of my employees went on leave, I'd have to find a way to cover their work, but it wouldn't cost me extra.
Indeed. Again there’s no question the attack vectors - however dismissing it as “kettle” or “them too” solves nothing and contributes to making the situation worse. Every comment I make is being downvoted yet there’s a critical point that’s either entirely dismissed as insignificant because others are doing it too or divorced from the ability to reason about information warfare and it’s implications. Oh well at least I tried.
As of yet, though, mainstream brands are nowhere close to Tesla when it comes to performance. And the UX of their cars is so different from mainstream brands that it feels like a unique experience you could easily define as luxury.

This might change if other automakers actually make a real effort to create proper EVs. But I'm not holding my breath. My experiences I've had driving even high-performance non-Tesla EVs, seem to indicate that they'll hold this advantage for some years yet, at a minimum.

This was our experience as well. There was no way I would have left my wife alone for the first 4-6 weeks. Even though we didn't have any complication and a relatively "easy" birth. First month was just survival mode. I took 5 weeks off (4 weeks paid paternity leave and another of annual leave) . I'm glad I was around. It increased my confidence as a father too.
You seem to ne completely writing off many other factors that could make having kids later (at which age are people wealthy, independent, secure about their future, committed in a relationship, etc... compared to X generation ago ? How much access to people have to contraception ?) , as well as factors that could make you have kids earlier (peer pressure, cultural norms, etc...).

"People being more selfish" might definitely be a factor, but you might come across as considering it like the factor, which would required exceptional data..
I work in the kirkland office. It's definitely VERY (over)crowded there, although I never have seen a desk in a hallway.
> solar + storage providing power evenly over 24h (an unrealistic worst case) becomes economical.

That's not the the worst case. Solar output varies by season. So you have to have enough storage for multiple weeks. This also means you have to greatly over-provison solar panels so that they not only provide power, but also enough to charge batteries.
Thank you for contributing something thoughtful and relevant among the disheartening engagements.
I had a subscription to one of the papers listed in the article.
I could sign up online, but there was no way to unsubscribe. I explored all corners of their website, including links that promised unsubscription options but never led to any.
They did offer me to sign up for another subscription if I wanted to give one as a gift.

They did provide an email address. I sent an email and was told to call a specific number in another country.
I said I could not do that and they were surely able to let me unsubscribe via email.
After that I only got automated replys.

I gathered all of this history and made a sucessful chargeback request.
A year later I heard that the paper now offers working unsubscription online.

> Going by “national security” reasons most countries should ban Facebook and google, not to mention amazon, Microsoft, oracle, Cisco etc. since the us government has already shown willingness and ability to spy on anything they can get their hands on, including foreign heads of state.

Yes.

600 billion = +/- overnight cost of 30 nuclear powerplants (AP-1000).

And would struggle with providing 500Gw that the battery above could.

At that scale everything is expensive, but the market still seems to say that Nuclear is more expensive than the other options.

My hand-wavy maths aside, the people who sign the checks seem to agree that today (2020, it is cheaper to get power from solar/wind + battery than nuclear). Cost of wind and solar today is what nuclear needs to beat, comparison to gas and coal are not relevant for new build systems (as in neither are getting the same kind of new build capacity as solar/wind in the coming years).

I didn't, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Let a website stay a website.

Bias lighting might be a good option. Just light the area behind the screen to reduce the contrast of the bright screen, but still leave the remaining room somewhat dark.

> However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

That certainly does have consequences for what you can do with the software - the object code of your compiled program will include parts of the library.

you just answered why :)
It is quite likely the US will continue to look at companies on which CCP can have control over. I agree it is odd to not have made a more comprehensive list.
I think that's why this link is here now.
They don't compare to the 3 and Y in price, though. Or even in range, the most basic technical specification. While at the same time being much closer in other performance measures than the price difference should imply. So I'd say it's still quite a stretch to make the comparison, other than regarding interior or UX preferences.

IMHO, the discussion about interiors is just a distraction. It doesn't matter when the technological gap is so wide, with no signs of closing. If making nice seats and dashboards is all the traditional automakers have going for them when EVs eventually become the obviously best choice....
The FFT and iFFT are performed consecutively up to 1000 times and then each run is done 5 more times. The total result is averaged both for VkFFT and cuFFT and stays roughly the same between launches. The minor performance gains (5-20%) are noticeable. If you have a better testing technique, I am open to the suggestions.

I have tested VkFFT on Intel UHD620 GPU and the performance scaled on the same rate as most benchmarks do. There are a couple of parameters that can be modified for different GPUs (like the amount of memory coalesced, which is 32bits on Nvidia GPUs after Pascal and is 64bits for Intel). I have no access to an AMD machine, otherwise I would have refined the lauch configuration parameters for it too. I have not tested other libraries than cuFFT yet.
How did you find the bag?

But they cannot buy the same data - the quantity and quality of the data they obtain themselves (through apps like TikTok and WeChat that are running in the background 24/7 while collecting any information possible, such as secretly copying your clipboard which is likely to reveal passwords and other sensitive information) is far higher than what they could pay for.

You’re also ignoring the fact that they can use their apps to easily spread propaganda and influence elections. They’ve already censored videos that criticized the Chinese government. And inside the app then they have a very prominent “Covid-19” button where they can cherrypick what information to display.. they’ve for instance chosen to omit the fact that the Wuhan Virus originated in China.
Paying for the API is also bad if you wanted to do literally anything with the raw outputs. Have an idea you want to try out on how to sample the text from the model? Tough. Pay your money and get our output.

It's useless.
The train to London-New Castle is 3.5 hours. I have done that for a year.
I have always liked that America had an open internet, unlike China. Obviously this is tit-for-tat with CCP treatment of American tech companies, but I don't want America to be equal to China, I want it to be better.
Well, the scam doesn't scale well. You need to make a new child each time.
I don't see this as a problem at all. Sometimes these bets pay off, and a thorough tech due diligence is probably not worth their time when they're dropping $3M on a seed round.

Most importantly, where will those $10M end up? You just distributed back to the economy a bit of money that was parked somewhere. That's good on it's own.
I have calendar entries for "focus time" for 4 full afternoons a week, and I pushed almost all meetings to Monday. Also pushed for async stand-ups which we do now via a bit on slack.

I do like working remotely, but regardless there is a lot that can be done in organisations where developers and non-management team members actually have some power to influence.
Because that's what most fathers do...

Also they just finished their pappaperm which they said was 133 days over the summer and that means their child likely started in nursery in August or September as is the child's legal entitlement if they were born before August last year or in September last year...

I get that you did something different but the OP's case really does sound like they did what most Norwegian fathers do... (I'm not knocking it because that time was truly special for me.)
> miscarriage of justice.

Victimless crime in general is miscarriage of justice, imho.
I don’t think they’re any less or any more other than the potential net vectors exposed. A boomer typically has traditional media as a source of information which shapes their world view. These channels have their own programming and narratives.

The zoomers are entirely on internet platforms which has a higher degree of manipulation. Every single person is mined against. Every single person gets optimized against. There’s more room for coercion based on the algorithmic use targeting demographics, and with the capability of individual optimization with machine learning tech.

If the typical “hacker” can launch a botnet with GPT2 and automate conversation and thread demographics based on interactions putting a “group” into a human in loop pattern with a goal ... imagine what state actors are doing.

How does he cope with the acidic community? They seem to be crying out for new features and can be very critical, particularly over the "slow" development of Elite and buggy/patched releases. Many of those on the forums demand various features without an understanding of the work involved (typical for software, after all!).

Personally I find Elite Dangerous to be tremendous fun, and extremely good value for money considering how little I paid for it and how many hours of gameplay I got out of it. Having played the original, I am looking forward to the updates!

One of the reviews of the company (glassdoor?) mentions the mess of the codebase, and I can imagine that contributes to the slow releases, but I guess that's true of any legacy giant codebase; having worked somewhere where the code was 20+ years old and a few key architects were the only ones who knew/understood how anything worked, they became the bottleneck to development whilst the rest of the team were under constant pressure to produce output whilst being devoid of understanding of the code. With the "gatekeepers of knowledge" being the only ones that could help the rest of the team, they were too busy to educate others as they were producing 80% of the output to keep the business operating; I wondered from an outside perspective if this was what happens at Frontier a bit?

What I getting wrong?
I'll try to answer more clearly - to hell with the downvotes!

Ok - if you were king of the world, would you prefer to be managing an outright challenge to your authority, or would you prefer to manage a convincing appearance of an outright challenge to your authority?

Either way that challenge - Assange here - will take a lot of people's effort and energy. The people have the power but they are being managed. He becomes an idol to some of those people considered rabble rousers by the governors. (For the religious, in your mind (temple) you have accepted a false idol - while you believe it to be true you will die for that idol every day.)

As a controlled opposition character, he may provide some truth - he has to be convincing - but he won't deliver. He is not really a challenge. If you have read 1984, he is 'Emmanuel Goldstein'.

Its the same story as Snowden. These characters (if they are even real people and not pastiches or CGI) are controlled opposition. They are acting a role - its a performance. They are intended to draw the sting from genuine people's discomfort and distress over the way our society is being managed downhill into tyranny, to take their well intentioned energy, and to waste it, so that nothing is achieved.

Governance is not just politics. It is also the media, the news and the culture. It may seem preposterous to you, but given enough time, money and inclination, it really is possible for people to run all these things. Its the reality that we live in.
Glad you like the site. It’s been a labour of love, no doubt about it!

Yes I have said so many times about WeChat to friends in USA. I CCP polices are terrible, however there are many in us tech wish they can do what CCP is doing with their apps.
Yeah I just came across some similar ideas with reality being a shared hallucination that is based on aggregate consensus. Similarly the universe is an eventually consistent algorithm to allow that private state of each human to converge on a shared reality.

Interesting stuff. Thanks.
For grid stabilization in the UK we already have 28GWh of pumped hydro storage. I'm not an expert in sizing grid infrastructure but I expect we'd need storage of several times that to balance a less dispatchable grid.

The sun is always shining somewhere doesn't work for day / night solar production. Transmission losses are of the order of 0.5% per 100km. By the time you transmit power 20,000km there is nothing left.
