If Lee and his fellow Santa Clara residents would rezone their precious quarter acre lots to allow higher density, there would be no need for low income housing.

Why do people like Lee always expect the govt to solve their problems?

It needs to be a very quick deal: I saw quite a few walking at shanghai, bangkok and hk airport; they do not want you to think about it. A lot of business people do not care about $100, but 300-400 would make them pause and actually think. These phones you can get for a $25 or even less I guess, but I saw them for 25 in shops. Not worth as a phone even at that price though... Except that they look the part.

So if the US immigration policy became "everyone seeking to immigrate gets a visa, pending a quick background check", they would be OK with such a policy? If the argument is just to end illegal immigration, then make all immigration legal. Otherwise, the problem is not just they're coming across the border without dotting i's and crossing t's. It's something else about immigration.

You know I ran that through the calculator 3 times, before I posted it and did the wrong thing 3 times in a row...you're right (guess I shouldn't be posting at 3am).

I've amended the post's math - it's definitely not as hard a point, but the secondary consideration I didn't include was that it's also not an all or nothing proposition - a fatality rate from a vaccine is one thing, but even COVID-19 doesn't just have a fatality rate - it's got a much much higher "severe long term complications" rate. Which is also very much what you're looking for with trials.

Having things look good after 3 months in a vaccine trial doesn't tell you if they look good after a year necessarily - and all of this is really weighted against "a sensible response to limit the spread of the virus is possible, the US is just not doing it".

EDIT: The other possibility is that a vaccine that just straight up doesn't work very well would also make the situation worse - churn out millions of doses, get a limited amount of immunity in the recipient population, government is compelled to wind back "mechanical" spread prevention measures - and the epidemic cinders for a while and then rips through the population because everything thinks they're immune.

Oh wow, that's even worse than I thought. Thanks for the explanation, that does make sense. I wonder if they could get in trouble for AML, or possibly Barclay's is just being overly picky with who they want as customers.

I don't think it is really about straight lines, most borders are probably where they are due to some circumstances involving lots of violence. It's just that straight lines are a modern concept, so the related violence is more present in our minds.

Tech wise, this is really impressive when I think about how much effort goes in to building systems like this, but as a believer in democracy it horrifies me.

There are just so many people who doesn't care about their data or doesn't understand what information they share has consequences for all of us. "I/you are not someone important, its okay if X company has access to my data" is something I hear quite often whenever the topic of data privacy is brought up among some of my friends, and the worst thing is when you hear this sort of speak from people with a good education people with access to information people who are earning a good living and are considered to be "doing well".

We need to start putting even more effort in to educating the average non-technical person about privacy and how it can harm democracy and so many other things in our life and we have to as an industry start taking more responsibility for the tech we develop.

Yeah, that's why it depends on the function of the website or app. If you need to sign in to access an app, and the session token is saved using a cookie, then it can be considered an essential cookie. But on a marketing website that doesn't have a login component then yes, you're right, logging in isn't required and so it's arguably a nonessential cookie.

Agreed. And competence includes not writing dirty code, but for reasons other than saving the environment. But this doesn't change the fact that for a vast majority of programmers, the work is nothing more than a means to a paycheck, therefore they will do the minimum required to get that paycheck, nevermind how much technical debt they are incurring their organization.

Not condemned? He literally used the phrase “condemned totally” referring to them. How much more condemned can you get?

Here’s a direct quote from Trump’s press conference:

> “It’s fine, you’re changing history, you’re changing culture, and you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?”

It’s an outright lie to claim otherwise and the media was complicit in allowing Biden to do so. Over and over.

Unfortunately today there aren’t many better options. Building images with Nix is great in theory (as Nix in general is great in theory), but it implies packaging one’s own app with Nix which is an enormous burden in most cases. There are other projects emerging that give us better image build systems than Docker, but none are well-tested at this point such that their tradeoffs are understood. This is a real pain point in the ecosystem, and it will be interesting to see how it resolves.
The ideas behind this project are similar to the goals of BlockStudio [0], a project of mine.

The core idea is to build computational logic by choreographing movements of blocks/images on a digital canvas.

sure but is the QubesOS method as performant as RDP? RDP just sends the draw commands not the image bits that's why it can be really performant.

Yes, Payments to business that exists within WhatsApp. That would not lead to "30%" marketshare.

I do see the difference, of course. But on the other hand, foreign or domestic, trickery is trickery. Check this:

"The data scientists found that showing certain Facebook ads to certain possible Trump voters lowered their approval of the president by 3.6%"

And:

"“We have found ways to find the right news to put in front of them, and we found ways to understand what works and doesn’t [..] And if you combine all those things together, you get a really effective approach, and that’s what we’re doing.”

This sounds like applying micro-targeted psychological tricks to damage one candidate or favour another. I'm sure the same was done on Trump's side, but it is scary nonetheless. This is pervasive and subtle high-tech manipulation, not political promotion and even less political information. You can be happy of the result today but it's hard to approve the methods.
So effing stupid. Every company/ vendor has automatic call recording but the prescience is that I as an individual am too much of a child to take legal liability for recording.. Infuriating.

Antifa is certainly not just a construct of right-wing media:

Then again, it's not a specific organization either. I agree it doesn't make sense to condemn something so unspecific, that's why I'm saying it was fair of Trump to ask who he is supposed to condemn.

As for your other questions: Both sides are ready to commit violence. If we add up the bodycount, at what point are we going to stop counting? You play Hitler, I'll raise you Stalin, and so on. It doesn't really lead anywhere meaningful.

I guess history is difficult when you only learn it through random-walk in Wikipedia. The Nazis were not in government in the 20s when this feeble attempt occurred. In fact, they were a relatively unknown regional party at this point. After imprisonment for the Beer-Hall Putsch, during which he wrote Mein Kampf, Hitler emerged better-known and prepared to plan. Over the following years they worked to become a legitimate party, entered government, and did not actually need to engage in direct violence to attain the absolute control that was desired.
Gen Z Hates TV, and What That Means for Traditional Advertising (2017)
I've found Resolve to be more productive than other video editing programs I've used, primarily because the core operations of navigating through video and cutting clips just feel much more responsive to me. With other editing programs I often feel like the UI is waiting for editing operations to complete in the background, but with Resolve it feels like the UI updates instantly so I can continue working. It sounds like a small change, but it can make a huge difference for productivity since you are no longer waiting for UI confirmation after every action.
Take a look at Fedora Silverblue. It uses ostree.
I don’t know about Erlang but typically language-specific packages are handled with a tool that converts from the language-specific package management system into Nix, and that tool will do whatever validity checking you normally expect from the language package manager. For example, for Ruby, it uses bundler under the hood which will use the Gemfile.lock, and then it converts the results of that into Nix expressions.

Someone could certainly submit a PR to the nixpkgs repo that purports to do that but really modifies the generated Nix expressions to refer to different sources, but this would be discovered by anyone who re-runs the package update process.
In another example of strange parallels with the US, the shape of modern Swiss federalism was also decided by a civil war in the mid-19th century.

Like the US civil war, a faction of Southern states broke away to protect regional independence. This was triggered by the election of a pro-centralization party to the federal government. Underneath it was an ambiguity about the full extent of the power granted to the federal government by the Constitution, and whether individual states were free to leave the union.

However very characteristic of the differences between Switzerland and America, only about 100 people died in this war before the matter was settled.

This is a massive problem for federalism, something that is cherished heavily here in Canada too as our provinces can each be quite different and autonomy is defended quite strongly in debates (at least historically).

But it always seems to continually centralize more and more.

I feel like this is one of the biggest driving forces for partisanship in a massive country like the US. Of course you can’t achieve cohesion across such a massive country. It’s much easier for smaller states.

That’s also why it bothers me when people point to tiny European countries like Scandinavia as examples of how the entire US should be. Nothing scales that easy.

There needs to be some clearly defined things that are federal (natsec that is entirely external, currency, healthcare insurance gov monopoly, trade pacts along logical trade routes - something India is dying for where apparently Trucks transporting goods need to stop at each local powerblock with paperwork/taxes and it’s slows everything to a grind, etc).

You can see the downsides of centralization in things like the drug war clashing with states who want to legalize or decriminalize. Clearly this should be up to the states. And many more things too.

Instead there are countless US federal agencies doing who knows what. I’ve heard some huge numbers.

And the push politically always seems to
more and more power not only federally but more dangerously in the executive branch (which we saw a massive rise in during the post 9/11 Bush years and continued in Obama’s term).

We need a rebirth of federalism globally and a push back against everything going federal and centralized. Especially with populations continually growing.

If I have an app and I want to build it with Nix, it’s typically a lot more work than using my language’s native packaging tooling even if Nix just calls that tooling under the hood. Nix gives me things that my language’s package tooling doesn’t (such as treating my application as part of a larger heterogeneous assembly), but very often that tradeoff isn’t worthwhile (and much to my chagrin because it would be very nice to use a single build tool to manage everything in my project).
I would love it if anything that is not cross-platform, would just get a tag for what OS this is relevant to, so the rest of us don't need to bother.
Well they are changing the perspective. The phone is theirs until the payment is complete.

Very likely that's how they write the contract too. They may still sell it like "auto pilot" but the paperwork defines the actual contract.
> Is there any good reason why a fully-connected network needs more than one hidden layer?

A sufficiently (infinitely?) wide shallow fcnn can work in theory, but is basically impossible to train[0].

It might be feasible to transform or 'compile' a trained deep network into a shallow & wide one, but I'm not sure there would be any benefits, absent sufficiently wide parallel hardware[1]

[0] Then again, deep networks were impossible to train for quite a while too, due to the exploding gradient problem.

[1] Although, the Cerebras Wafer-Scale chip does exist. Hmm.
It incentivizes small teams, but in the sense that you want the smallest team possible to generate the highest returns. If that one extra associate can help you screen exponentially more deals, they'll still be more than worth it in the long run.

...and that's been an unmitigated disaster on several levels.

I like the idea of the internet being a utility more than personal car transportation being a utility but I can still see lots of ways for it to fall apart. Aggressive content controls? Mandated DRM for everyone? Strong restrictions on what kind of devices and software you can use? Crackdowns on encryption? All for your own good, of course...

Conversely, I once printed out a design for a two-color computer store logo. The quote that was given for making it was unbelievable. After discussions, it was discovered that the cost wasn't due to size, material, or colors--it was trying to accurately replicate the fine staircase detail of the edges. That was a limitation of the printer and never intended in the actual design. Make sure it matters before going to all the effort.

Personally I appreciate it, because for some odd reason my phone manufacturer placed the screenshot button combo in a weird location that I naturally grab when switching from vertical to horizontal, and so I'm always taking accidental screenshots. And if I'm doing something worth being in incognito for, I don't want any accidental screenshots, especially being backed up on Google photos.

Though it would probably be nice if it asked you to confirm with a thumbprint, thereby allowing you to bypass the security.
