I recently had my phone fixed at a uBreakiFix location and at and on the bottom of the credit card receipt it has a contract written at the bottom that among other things says your waving privacy rights, property rights to your old parts, swear you have read some link to a TOS. When checking out they never mentioned any of that when signing the receipt (with the exception of the not returning the parts when I told them I would like them back). In my option any contractual language should have to me signed for separately then a CC receipt.

EDIT: with that said they did a great job fixing my phone with an hour or two.

Well, if the girl I think of is not the crush of @andrepd, I can add another person to that list.

I, although also left-handed, never wrote like that, I did the "wrist-bending" instead.
And it's wonderful to work with someone whose stuff just works
> Hopefully this isn't like detroit.

Even if it became more like Detroit you'd still have what Detroit can never have- nice weather and unbeatable nature right outside your doorstep.
As long as I can keep my mouth shut about stuff like this and focus on work at work, that's good enough for me.

I don't want to bring my whole self to work, and I'm not particularly interested in my colleagues doing that either. That's what people seem to have decided is best, I completely disagree, but if I can just do my job without all that then fine.

Yeah the banners are annoying and in fact may make it more likely for people to keep cookies. I have my browser set to clear all cookies on close, but that also deletes my "I accept" clicks, so every time I start a new browser session, and this is multiple times per day, my cookies reset. Result before: my cookies would all reset multiple times per day, all nice. Result after: I have to click stupid banners about cookies that I'm deleting soon thereafter anyways.
Would pay good money for this if it worked in Safari.

I like what you do and why you do it; do you have a blog or website?
Yep. Oregon has something similar in Measures 5 & 50, and it distorts our market as well.

I follow CA housing politics fairly closely because, as you point out, they are important in Oregon too. It has been really dismaying to see them consistently fail to pass the kinds of reform they need.
Diversity and self balancing of ecosystem are quite important, mono-cultures can do more damage than good but on the other side, were have problem of unchecked climate change and we are running out time (at best we have 10 more years).
To have any fighting chance we would need to plant 1 trillion trees in next 2 years, significant task considering how much is done up to this point.

Project "trillion trees" exist since 2006

"... until 22 Feb 2020 13,638,907,054 trees have been registered around the world. That looks like an amazing achievement; in 14 years, the number of trees planted is almost two times the size of the human population. Unfortunately, that is not remotely enough as in comparison with the goal of 1,200,000,000,000 trees that is 1.14%. With the same speed, we would need 1232 years to finish the project."

A couple things - I worked at intel during the time we were trying to prove a sub-$1000 PC was even possible (hence celeron)....

But you know what would be really interesting with these guys - is if they would auto-hive once online - and would just have access to whatever apps were avail - say, you pick a role or profile (switchable) for the unit...

"e-learning box" or "games" or "news" or "community" such roles/profiles

And it would join that hive and then auto pkg whatever apps it needed to to provide access to those communities or content...
Ok - This is fair - as you make it easier to work from other places, you increase employee supply. That resets the balance. Good points.
>but you're talking about that as though it were an inherently flawed or invalid approach,

This is just your bias. I never said this. I feel some people worship a paradigm so much that they see everything as an attack. FP is great however it is not a one size fits all solution. There are limitations. This is literally what I said.

>Mathematicians have no trouble modeling change. There are many ways to do so. Some are algebraic, some are not. There is nothing wrong with modelling mutability using immutable structures: that is how you probably think about history, after all.

You can model change with purity but the program in the end actually has to conduct the change without the modelling. The application has to eventually perform real world actions and the purity of your program cannot protect you from potentials pitfalls of imperative style errors/mistakes.

You have a database. The purity of haskell does not remove the necessity of mutating data in that database.

What you can do is segregate dealing with mutation/IO to a framework or external service. This is what haskell does, but you see this is just shifting the problem to somewhere else. Someone somewhere still had to deal with the issue of mutation. Modelling mutation with purity does not eliminate the problem it only moves the problem to another location.

Segregation of mutation/IO into a framework is a good thing. It makes it so that the problem can be solved one time, rather then a problem solved many times. However the main point of my post is to say that "math" or "algebra" is not a one size fits all solution. You cannot model everything this way, moving the problem into a framework does not make the problem disappear. Someone still had to use imperative primitives to deal with the issue. Think about the complexity of a SQL database.
> this crazy "snowstorm" in Austin (it was less than an inch)

Coming from MN and NY, that was nothing, but I had only packed t-shirts. The first I was aware of any snow was when walking out of the conference and seeing a BMW covered with an inch of it (from elsewhere? there was nothing on other cars).

Like the other poster said, Dan was an influence in people's careers/lives and definitely on mine, even if I met him only a few times per year. I changed jobs and no longer have the original emails, but somehow he put me in touch with folks at CoreOS about a blog post, which led to a lot of networking that I probably would have never made otherwise, including a relay race in LA(!)...

This week has already started badly. :-(

They're not burying this. They're _highlighting_ it. You've already agreed; they're making sure you're bluntly aware.

Could the phrasing be better? Of course. One option is "I have deleted all private content on this account. I understand that anything remaining will be made public as part of our 'Free Tier.' Click here to delete your presentations if you have not done so already."

But calling it immoral to screw up in the manner of highlighting the issue seems a bit much to me.
It is impossible to have a fact based discussion with you. Your arguments so riddled with logical fallacies that it would take me hours to tease everything out with definitions and explanations. I find myself facing a poverty of time currently and in the near future to be able to engage you further. Thanks for the discussion so far. Have a nice day.

I’m not familiar with the services provided by the company this thread is about (prezi), but giving a user a zip file with their data is not always straight forward. At a previous team we had to deal with this because of GDPR. Especially for data that has some visual element to it, the process is usually lossy because the user is also losing access to the client that renders their data.

This company seems to do web based slide decks. What file format do you give users, HTML and CSS files? A PDF printout of their presentations?

I agree that giving users a copy of their data would be ideal, but without a program that can view the data, the data itself might not be that useful.
Many more trees than that have been planted, we have planted several hundred million (and possibly much more) in New Zealand alone since that period
The AWS premium for GPU instances is absolutely not worth it. You don't hear about people running local GPU compute clusters because it's not newsworthy -- it's obvious. Put a few workstations behind a switch, fire up torch.distributed, you're done. And after two months, you've beaten the AWS spend for the same amount of GPU compute, even if only 50% of the time is spent training. Timesharing is done with shell accounts and asking nicely. You do not need the huge technical complexity of the cloud: it gets in the way, as well as costing more!

We like to take the example of democracy and elections as a way of explaining our stance: many people complain that their opinion is never heard, or even that their voice cannot change the final outcome. But how can anyone expect an opinion to be heard, and taken into account, if it is not stated?

Well, they are a major source of smog in some areas. They emit quite a bit of hydrocarbons(https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4612-3296-4_...).

They also kill quite a number of people every year by dropping heavy things onto their heads.

Actual RTK/dGPS makes GPS more accurate, not less. If it doesn’t lock, the software should fall back to regular GPS.

Unless they were abusing the system by putting the dGPS reference station on a moving vehicle going the opposite direction or simply feeding spoofed correction data into the GPS.

My makerspace has done a program with Title 1 schools, Girl Scouts, etc. where we give kids a Pi with keyboard, mouse, display and teach them a little electronics, coding, etc. The biggest learned lesson has been that many of them do not have internet access at home other than via a smartphone. So we started loading the Pi's with as much free educational content as we could.

It depends on how you split it up of course, but there's another cost, if you pipeline the address calculation you effectively make the cpu's pipe longer and more importantly increase the cost of a mispredicted branch - which is where we're all spending our time trying to mitigate these days

> "Gandhism." Pared down: Assuming that your opposition is decent, responds to generous gestures, and can be convinced

That's quite an oversimplification of Gandhi's philosophy, which evolved quite a bit over his lifetime, starting from the position of trust and assumption of good faith that you describe (and indeed even a deference to India's colonial rulers), but later evolving into the less dependent philosophy of satyagraha, which makes no assumptions of the decency of one's opponent, nor holds any expectation of benevolence from an oppressive power, but relies solely on one's own rigorous and unflagging dedication to non-violent resistance to achieve change. It is the latter philosophy which formed the substance of his life's work and moved the needle on India's independence struggle.
