I'm confused as to what you are responding to.

The reference we are talking about is above, and it is Whewell's review of Somerville's book (i.e. it is a scan of the text of the 1834 quarterly review you mention). So that attribution isn't in question. It does contain "scientist" (the text is searchable directly) but refers to someone else as having coined the term.

Unless I've misread something?
Is there a huge barrier to entry? Some very expensive regulation to comply, like in pharma? Some colossal infrastructure cost, like with telecom?

I would say that the duopoly is due to the exclusive agreements with OEMs first and foremost (Windows, Android) and lock-up by the manufacturer (iOS). If I were to consider an anti-trust action, I'd concentrate on these.
Will it be remembered as Pets.com of the dot com 2.0 era?
Contact tracing is perfect for something like venereal disease.

For a highly contagious airborne respiratory virus, not so much. It's also far too pandemic anyway.

What you are describing is how social media marketing works - for both politics and business (aka Astroturfing - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/feb/08/what-i... ).

One of my friend works for an advertising company who specialises in social media marketing. Their clients have a budget of 100,000 to 250,000 per month for only hiring people to post on social networks! The job includes identifying all negative posts about the company or its product or business model, and to politely rebut it and offer the company's point of view. Or to just plainly promote the product / services / company on the social media platform to create a buzz. Unethical social media marketers go beyond this - their job includes creating and supporting a negative campaign against their client's competitors.

As the former Google CEO said, social media works like an "amplifier for idiots". I'd rather not comment on whether we are all idiots here, but I am sure none of us can deny the "amplifying" effect of a message here on HN or other social media platforms.

>Funny how they keep sending me marketing emails though.
>This is kind of a weird notion, that Apple doesn't want me as a customer, as I've spent more $ on Apple products in my life than the majority of people.

Maybe that's because Apple is a company and you're 1 in a million? You bought their product so presumably maybe you're interested in what their products are? That you're one of their customers their trying to cater to (when you're actually not)?

>Does this really need to be said? Of course it is! Why would I state someone else's opinion?

Great we established it's an opinion, and not a fact!

>This is a straw man argument. I already mentioned that I preferred Apple under Steve Jobs to Apple under Tim Cook. They're not the same. Jobs said, "the computer is the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds." For Tim Cook, though, computers seem more like a bike lock for the mind.

It's not a straw-man unless you want to have a separate argument over what Steve said / didn't say.

>Again, I'm comparing Macs today to Macs literally only 10 years ago. Those products existed. It's historical revisionism to claim that current Apple is exactly the same as past Apple. It's not. Not at all.

So what if they're different today? They've outlined what their products & terms are today just as they had in the past. How are they being a jerk when you can freely agree to or walk away from them?
Rust can be great for environments with resource constraints, and we should think of browsers as being resource constrained.

I don't think Rust has the right trade-offs to make it a good choice today, but I expect that to change.
Well, this thread is about a lawsuit, where the law in question refers to a 'threat'. I'm not sure about the morality or ethics of this question, and it seems like it would really depend a lot on the framework you use to analyze the question (as well as what the long-term outcomes are likely to be).

Because it's a meaningless number. If he is actually placing an order for that amount every minute, it would be a useful number (and he would be an asshole for making so many fake orders and filling their system with garbage metrics). If he placed ice-creams in the cart for 8000 stores, then he should give that number. The dollar value is a completely pointless number in this case, and was done purely for clickbait.
In theory you could do this with books? Sentences in translations should still be the same, and you could add some heuristics to identify paragraphs, quote marks, etc. You might be wrong occasionally, but doing the extraction per chapter or per paragraph would mitigate it.
I almost felt like I was back in Europe. Slow streets or blocked streets allowing people and bars and restaurants to reclaim some of that space. It’s a treat. I hope it stays this way after covid19 and people realize how much car roads are killing the liveness in a city.
It doesn't have to "sniff" for anything; Chrome's user profiles are stored in a well-known location. Firefox's user profiles are as well. All it has to do is check to see if any Chrome user profiles exist.
While I disagree with the opinion of the application, and think the response to the gating/requirements for use is unfair, there is good feedback for the developers of Halide, and app developers in general to chew on in this comment.

For an app that wants to save photos for the user, how do you do this permissions gating without irritating the cursory view by skeptical user?

For an app that wants to make sure you don't lose any metadata/exif (including location) how can you do that without raising eyebrows for location permissions.

How can you communicate the value prop to convert a subscription? I think the app does a great job for existing users in providing a 1yr automatic subscription (would have thought parent comment would get this) but I also am confused, and will be confused, when that time is up I think.

--

Halide is a incredible application. One of my favorites. I don't use it as much as I could benefit from it because of the problem of it not having the same immediate access as the native camera app does, but also it does not include Live Photo capture which for me and moments with friends and family is essential. That said, it's the best built app I have on my phone, the best design, provides path to incredible photography results, and I will continue to pay for it.
That’s mostly in Paris. Don’t think I’ve seen that elsewhere.
> It really assumes that the drivers are too stupid to do their own accounting and figure out if they are making money or not.

This isn't as easy as it sounds. Much of their income will go towards paying vehicle maintenance costs, and those are not obvious from the start. Your accounting can show you making decent wages for six months and then suddenly you need new tires and recalculating your wage will show you aren't making a ton of money. At which point many of them do quit and work somewhere else.
The alternative was it required an 8/8 majority to change. California doesn’t let the legislature override props (for better or worse).

Well that sucks. I suppose it makes sense that you might run into an issue like that on an embedded board, but I had hoped it would be simpler.

This means that you may have issues with some of the higher end HBA's, etc. as well. I'd have to do some research to see what they require though.
I believe these have been banned in Paris terasse due to the pollution they produce.

> Unfortunately, I made the decision to write nearly all of the gadgets in assembly language. This was probably a good decision with regards to performance (though I'll never know for sure), but a horrible decision with regards to readability, maintainability, and my sanity. The amount of bullshit I've had to put up with from the compiler/assembler/linker is insane. It's like there's a demon in there that makes sure my code is sufficiently deformed, and if not, makes up stupid reasons why it shouldn't compile. In order to stay sane while writing this code, I've had to ignore best practices in code structure and naming. You'll find macros and variables with such descriptive names as ss and s and a. Assembler macros nested beyond belief. And to top it off, there are almost no comments.

> So a warning: Long-term exposure to this code may cause loss of sanity, nightmares about GAS macros and linker errors, or any number of other debilitating side effects. This code is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm.

Don't unions typically try and tell their members who to vote for. At the minimum they tend to "endorse" candidates. Isn't that a kind of influence. Are they different in some way?
This is all true, but I think its a symptom of a more fundamental problem, which is the complexity of the system, and the attendant speed and cost problems that drive agents to these outcomes. If the system worked transparently and quickly, then a lot of the other problems would go away. Plea deals should be the exception, not the rule.

When it hurts others (in this case McD, by filling their system with garbage orders and metrics), it is not 'just a prank, bro'.
Do you have proof this is fake or is that just an assumption?
It basically costs them nothing. It is a thumb in the eye of supposed freedom of the press/whistleblowers protected/good guys mythos of the USA. Here we have the supposed "bad guys, enemy of Team USA" housing a citizen and giving him sanctuary because all he tried to do was let the truth be known about unConstitutional activities and violations of the TLA government departments.

Russia gives whistleblower Edward Snowden permanent residency rights
There's a straightforward use case: In Paris we never had a car because public transport was so good and having a car was such a pain. But we had no kids. Once we had a kid suddenly there were many new issues such as trying to carry the baby seat to/from the metro. Suddenly a car was more inviting and this wold be great for that application.

When the kid is older things can change; we later lived in a city with plentiful bike lanes and it was great...except in the snow.

Yes, it’s library access. Just tested. You can, however, on iOS 14, grant it selective access with no selection, which will basically give it a write-only access.
Yep, keeping Snowden safe from the government that wants to hang him from the tallest tree just keeps the wound open and bleeding.

Of course, the problem with these "synthetic" datasets are when the translation models overfit to the problems in these multilingual sentence encoders/embedders.

Still, it lets you massively increase the amount of data you're training on, which is generally worth it.

The Biden ‘Family Legacy’
The matrix inverse “undoes whatever the matrix did” is pretty much the most straightforward interpretation, if you’re thinking of a matrix as performing some kind of rotation/shear/scaling of space.

There are some other interpretations, for example if you think of a linear system Ax=b as a kind of “checking machine” (does x satisfy Ax=b? Yes/no, try again), then the inverse of A can produce solutions, since x=(A inverse)b.
I’m not sure I agree with your assertion. My parents heavily rely on Uber after they lost their last good set of eyes.
This is an interesting theory and I'm excited to see it tested. I like how it lets you share supply between multiple platforms but if the problem is that supply has been simultaneously reduced and made more expensive I'm not sure that the extra flexibility afforded by using an agency makes much of a difference.
I would imagine this is what any industrial ice cream production that's making pints for grocery store freezers would look like.
I can't agree. They all take an oath to protect the basic premises of the US Constitution and yet here we have direct evidence that they don't care about amendments like the 4th or 1st, two very critical ones. I think it should be obvious and not hyperbole. The only agency I can see having any excuse at all to do such things is the CIA when it's operating outside of US borders. All the other agencies are basically writing their oath on a piece of toilet paper, using it for it's primary purpose, and then flushing it down the drain.
Easy to test. "Koirissanikohan" should be a sentence (or a word) conveying exactly this meaning: "I wonder if also probably in my dogs there is ..".

Well, the thing is, if your answer is "never" then I'm less inclined to agree with you. I think "don't use it ever" is a much weaker argument than "here's where you should and shouldn't use it".

Sorry, I made an assumption (that all three permissions were necessary) after granting camera permissions but not photo library or location permissions. The UI was not clear about what was actually required, and the "Continue" button was enabled but didn't get me anywhere.

Look, it's 2020 and tech is getting so human-hostile in so many different ways. I think it behooves us to make sure there's always a way our software can be used no matter how restrictive our users are with permissions.

Thanks for your response.
> From what I've seen, we're still a long way away from natural sounding translations.

IMO, this is a dataset problem. I think we're finally seeing the "next generation" of dataset collection in AI so there will be hopefully improvements for pairs with sparser sets.
Right. I don't think they'd want to waste the "good will" and good guy PR they got by protecting a US citizen from his own government.
I’ve been reading more of the Netflix engineering blog recently (got in a clickhole), what strikes about their more recent articles as they seem to be creating technical solutions (like BFF and friends) for what could essentially be process or coordination problems, and that is less exciting to me.

Sometimes you don’t own the whole thing and BFF is the best way, but in my mind that place wasn’t Netflix, but some slow moving bank etc
I actually have never seen it's kubernetes security platform.

If it's using RQL for that I would take that as a redflag that it won't support much customization or logic that would allow you to tailor it to your organization.

What!?!?

No. Definitely not correct. They might be doing that now, but if so that change is precisely the complaint at some level. I used to buy Apple computers precisely because I did understand computers, but now I buy them in spite of that.

I did something similar, but in reverse. Rather than give myself an arbitrary "death day", as the author did, I instead chose to make a life clock. It's just a display of my age in years, months, days, and seconds.

The advantage of this is that it is 100% true. There are no mental tricks you can play. Things like: I know my clock says 8500 days, but I'm sure I have more than that.

I find I get much the same feeling watching the values ever increasing as I would watching some arbitrary number increase. You're watching the grains of sand fall through the hourglass.

I think you might be conflating two related things. The unit economics of Uber/Lyft, in principle, work out. If there was no way for them to make a profit nobody have invested in them.

They're currently unprofitable in the same way that Amazon spent a decade being unprofitable; every cent was invested back into growing future revenue. It's a little different; if Uber flipped their switch and started taking a profit Lyft would swoop in and steal away market share. But the unit economics do work out, I'm claiming that once prop 22 fails there will be markets for which the unit economics will no longer work out at all.

Yeah, with one you risk your metabolism slowing down. In terms of fat burning, there shouldn't be that much difference. There is only so much fat your body can convert into energy at any one time, if you go over this you're in trouble.

> 5. Somewhat agree, but the caveat I take issue with is

You don't need to run out of fat, you just need to run out of accessible fat. You have an upper limit to how much you can instantly access, the process takes time. That's why people carb feed just before exercise to increase their workout performance, otherwise you'll literally run out of energy and crash.

It of course depends per person, but metabolic slowdown is a real concern.

To me it sounds like this person switches from fasting to OMAD (intermittent fasting) + VLCD, which is still unsustainable over long periods but is much more sustainable than a water-based diet.

If it's "ride sharing" then the drivers were going that way in any case, so a lack of paying passengers won't stop them.

If a lack of paying passengers will stop them then they're not "ride sharing"; they're a taxi service, and deserve the associated legal protections.
I suppose it depends whether we want to give more weight to the first use in conversation (1833 or before), or the first use in writing (the 1834 article).

The context of the first use in writing is relevant in either case.
What’s the lesson here? That when the rule of law is weak we should all steal what we can?
No no no. The entire concept of ballot measures is insane since the electorate is not qualified to govern. The core concept of the Constitution is that the voters pick someone they trust and that person makes the decisions for them.
