I heard 958309 got a flogging for that performance because it violated union bylaws that forbid one member from making other members look like slackers. That'll show him for being a prima donna and giving it his all!
That was sort of my takeaway as well. I use desktop computers for most of my more demanding work. Laptops are great and (like smartphones, tablets, etc) any improvement in their capabilities is to be welcomed--but there's a difference between a headline that reads "New laptop is the fastest computer ever!" and one that reads "New laptop faster than all previous laptops!"

I don't do the most intensive tasks on thin, battery-powered computers for a reason. I try to do those on the box that's always plugged into mains power with heatsinks and fans as needed, plenty of ports to plug things in, and a big monitor. A more performant portable computer is awesome, but until I can spend a similar amount to make my workstation smaller without losing capability, I'll likely keep using it for heavy lifting alongside a cheaper, less powerful laptop or tablet for lighter work or remoting in.
That analysis sounds compelling, but doesn't really match up with the experience of state-level cannabis legalization in the US. For two years, Colorado was the only state in the US with legal cannabis, let alone the world.

Did cannabis get exported from Colorado? Absolutely. Did it corrupt the legal industry or the Colorado state government? Not to any extent, I'm aware. Like you said, the margin on inter-state smuggling are so large, that there's no reason for exporters to even bother with grey market wholesale sourcing to save a few pennies. Just source retail, then ship overseas.

Back of the envelope math. Let's say cocaine is recreationally legal in Colombia and retailed at $5/gram. (Black market prices inside Colombia are already cheaper than this.) Let's say wholesale production costs $1000/kilo. Current wholesale smuggling prices in the US are $25,000/kilo in the US, and double that in Europe.

The simplest option for any would-be is just to have smurfs continuously accumulate recreational product from Colombian legal retailers. Then package small-scale retail buys into wholesale international shipment. Trying to buy wholesale from produces only increases profit margins by ~20%, and makes your operation a lot more visible and attackable.

Pablo Escobar was a different beast because he had to run an enormous and visible illegal operation inside Colombia. He needed farms, processing facilities and all the logistics that come with that. That required bribing a lot of politicians to protect those operations.

A post-legalization Escobar doesn't need anything more than a warehouse, a small payroll of shoppers, a Silk Road account, and some international postage. This isn't speculation, it's pretty much how the large-scale MDMA traffickers (who are so lightly prosecuted that it might as well be legal) operate in Holland.
Basically companies have an optimal cash reserve. Below that optimum a dollar in the company increases future discounted cashflow of company by more than a dollar -> They should raise money. Above that optimum a dollar in the company increases the future discounted cashflows of the company by less than a dollar -> They should hand out money.

Because of transaction costs there is in practice a zone where they should neither raise nor give dividends.

Close to the optimum a dollar in dividend will change the value of the company by approximately one dollar.

This culminated in the Battle of Blair Mountain were mine owners employed private security and the US military to put down 10,000+ striking miners.

It's an incredible story of capitalism gone mad. Areal bombardment and poison gas were used against the miners and it did not end well for them.
You still have to compile your own Docker image and then "run it" from a Jupyter notebook if you are not using their Estimators (who uses those?). What is the point of just launching Docker images from Jupyter notebooks and looking a different window to see the log?

Serving is ok on Sagemaker, i will admit. The new ones: feature store, pipelines, and data wrangler - we will see, all rushed (some more than others).
I do think that would be a problem. But I don't think that's what's on the line here. Why would you need a lawyer to file a DMCA notice against GitHub if you're 100% certain that the code in question is copyrighted by you and distributed unlawfully?
Nitpick. Jesus Christ raised the bar to 'love your enemies'.

43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Which is literally illegal under US laws like the Civil Rights Act!
Hmm, so when searching without JS, the links from results are behind a redirect. So in terms of tracking this is worse than DDG.
You haven't yet found the optimal solution. I had the same problem and it wasn't until a later problem that I realised XOR could be implemented with fewer nands.
There is bias in everything -- that is why you need ethics. You need to determine which biases are problematic and which aren't. If Google search favored Chinese government results in the US you'd probably say, "that seems biased in a bad way".

Your disagreement seems less to do with that and more to do that you disagree with where her ethics rest. I think the reason why she pushes for marginalized groups is that those are the groups that are less likely to be able to stand for themselves and thus become the victims of the bias. A bias against corporate or powerful interests will likely be rectified relatively quickly.
I was also thinking about how this is part of their new policy to not provide unlimited image uploads to Photos, even for active users.
Ha! I came here to say the same. THE reason I have never used my hotmail for something serious is that they deleted a lot of my childhood memories in that deletion... I opened my Hotmail account around 1998, and they just deleted all of my memories.
Somehow one of my friends manages to almost always get sexual during the viewing of the movie.

I've read pretty much all of Gruber's blog posts for years. I'm very much an Apple person myself. I wouldn't call him a shill, but I do have to agree that he's become lazy about some of his opinions. He often bashes Facebook (which certainly deserves criticism) without ever using it. Many of his Apple reviews are very long-winded love letters to Apple about how great their products are. Every once in a while he will call out blatant Apple mistakes, but they have to be pretty bad.

The Lion Air sensor was defective when installed on the aircraft (The day prior to the accident), it was a part that was repaired by a company in Florida that was not authorized to repair it, and the airline's maintenance department failed to verify its correct operation and just forged the verification in their records.

The Ethiopian Airlines sensor was speculated to have been hit by a bird on takeoff.
The issue is when central ideas about how your application work changes. Suppose you’re a US bank and after a few decades you want to open a branch in Europe and suddenly every dollar value needs to be associated with a specific currency.

At it’s core that’s a very basic change, but the issue with this stuff is how your adapting to such changes without introducing massive technical debt. Databases that elegantly to your data are easy to work with. However, it’s always tempting to use the lazy solution, which is why systems relying on stored procedures tends to age poorly. In effect they tend to corrupt the purity of your schema.

Thanks. It doesn't seem like an Amazon union would actually have any teeth so long as amazon can either ignore them or fire/de-schedule workers that actually take any action (strike, work to rule, go-slow etc).
I'll let the SEC filings do the talking, you can then decide if China owning voting machines are "vague insinuations".
No support for AVX2. AVX-512 is the first really nice (from the programmer's perspective) SIMD instruction set on x86-64 CPUs, and it's significantly different from what came before. AVX-512 is not just a wider version of AVX2

NN-512 explores the way Winograd and Fourier convolutions can be done when you have 32 512-bit vector registers. Four 8x8 Winograd tiles simultaneously, four 8x8 Fourier tiles interleaved to form a 16x16 tile for strided convolutions, and so on. These multi-tile operations don't work for AVX2, too few registers, each register too narrow

GCC has only very recently come into a state where it properly supports AVX-512. For example, before GCC 9.1, GCC would split FNMADD into xor-negation followed by FMADD (doing an extra xor, using an extra register for the negation constant, instead of just using the FNMADD instruction).

Eventually the hardware will mature, too
Seems like a bad idea to allow a corporation to reinterpret immigration law to mix and match visas and green cards in whatever ways that best fits its goals. You can pretty much bet it will be used in a way that gets around some aspect of the law.

Suppose the 500 jobs at the highest skill level are basically impossible to keep filled? Playing games like you suggest allows them to continually hire less skilled workers for roles Americans have no problem filling also. And they can continually complain to congress about needing more visas.
Big companies preemptively block competition. The government is right.
At least in theory, something like:

Fair academic criticism: We shouldn't publish this paper because it has flaws X,Y,Z. (usually followed by an opportunity for the researchers to address X,Y,Z).

Unfair and/or non-academic criticisms: We shouldn't publish this paper because: I don't like the author/authors institution. I don't like this approach, approach X is better. I don't like the conclusions.

The last is potentially relevant here. And yes, clearly the quality and value of research is reduced by filtering based on results you want to promote. Which well may be in a companies best interest, but there are sometimes difficult lines to draw - when exactly do you move from "promoting the companies interests" to "propaganda intended to mislead the public"?
> I was, however, right about everything else.

No, he didn't run away (he's still very active in the community: https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite) and the foundation wasn't on the brink of bankruptcy.

About the only thing you were right about is that he sold his coins. (According to him the reason was so he could be financially secure and able to focus on the project instead of feeling incentivized to pump the price)
> To be clear, I'm not saying people shouldn't give a damn, I saying why couldn't they i.e. why should they be forced if they choose not to.

In a lot of these cases it's probably true that there's no direct, measurable, benefit. One has to look past the direct benefit to the indirect benefit to understand why we would be forced to do something that has no direct benefit to ourselves.

For example, a property tax increase to pay for improved schools doesn't have any apparent benefit if you're a single adult with no children in school. In fact the whole education system has no measurable benefit to you if you're an adult. It seems like a waste of money. So we can say it has no first-order benefit.

But suppose that the increased funding would help pay for things like civics education. There's a second-order or third-order benefit to paying those taxes. By ensuring other peoples' children are educated in how our Democratic institutions work, they are better able to navigate those institutions, and they will make more informed decisions about their elected officials because of this. If you care about maintaining and improving those institutions then that tax increase is very worthwhile even if you have no kids. But it has no measurable economic benefit.

I think our Capitalist system has gone insane because it no longer acknowledges those benefits that have no tangible monetary value. It also encourages us to think in terms of money above all else. We've gone so far into the weeds with Scientific Management that if we can't measure the direct monetary benefit it doesn't exist. And that's not true.

Being unable to measure something simply means we can't quantify the benefit. It doesn't mean it has no benefit. And that's at the heart of a lot of economic arguments against tax increases. They're arguing that being unable to quantify the benefit implies the benefit doesn't exist. And that's patently untrue in a lot of cases.
I came on here to say this too. If you need to hang something up with more than two wall hooks, cosh is your friend.
probably compost them, maybe use as feed

Err...the only thing "modern" about this is you can purchase/fabricate one using new material and components in active production. If a modern cell phone integrated those SMT packages, it'd be the size of a brick, and the PCB itself is vanilla 2-layer Tg130 FR4...couldn't even be bothered with a controlled impedance layout, let alone length-match bus traces. Recently, bunnie talked about one "relatively modern" PCB design element---microvias---and explains why you just don't see them much in OSHW designs[1]...an excellent read if you get the chance. JLC is a well known PCB fab house because their low-volume prices are dirt cheap, not because their process is modern.

"What's another good email provider?" - an alternative is to run your own mail server. I used to do that and the harddrive with all the mail (and a backup copy) is not going away because some company changes policy..
I think I covered that in #1 & #2, unless there's something subtle I missed.
It's not that easy. I have 15 years of emails, including deeply personal stuff. I've deleted all the unread mailing lists. I've deleted the big files. I've gone through numerous social and advertising emails and mass-deleted. Yet I'm stuck on like 14.98 Gb and every time I hit the threshold, Gmail starts bugging me to do more. How can I even tell if I have that much email? They could just be saying "oh, you have 14.98Gb".
"The first step to solving any problem is to remain calm"

I forget where I heard this. But it's helped me a lot.
In what way is it not? You put some dollars in them and you get some variable set to a value somewhere. (In traditional banking, the value is the number of dollars you put in, and it might be stored on a computer or perhaps on paper; with a stablecoin, it's a cryptographic capability and it's hopefully stored on your machine.) You can then either request that the service transfer some of that value to / from other people, or ask for your dollars to come back out at a later point.

Furthermore, while the entity you've given the dollars to promises you can ask for them back (plus/minus any transfers you've arranged with others) at any point, there's no guarantee that they have a bag of dollar bills in a hole in the ground somewhere, and in fact they probably don't: they're almost certainly doing something with the dollar bills to make themselves money, in a way where they preserve enough liquidity to return dollars for the people who ask for them, but not all at once.

The only difference is the technical form of the variable associated with your account. The API and the social purpose is the same.
On the other hand, they literally advertised this use case on tv. Kind of rude to make it not work.
The upcoming movie only covers the first half of Dune; they're hoping to make a second movie but AFAIK it's not locked in yet.

Publicity seems to be keeping rather quiet about this, for obvious reasons.
Sorry, dumb question, which part are you disputing? I must be being too literal.

What you called out as "doesn't at all sound like the case":
[1: they continued employing her for months and months] [2: while her lawyer was threatening to sue the company]

First paragraph of the email OP posted, which I am defending as worth sharing:
"This happened to me last year. [[1]: there has been 11+ months, or months and months, since this occurred and she continued employment] I was in the middle of a potential lawsuit for which Kat Herller and I hired feminist lawyers who threatened to sue Google [[2]: her lawyer was threatening to sure the company]"
> There is no "always display images from this contact" option if you don't want to load images automatically. You have to click on "show images" every time you read an emai, even from a trusted contact.

Oh man, this is one feature that I've really missed from Gmail, which actually gives you the best of both worlds by proxying external images from their own servers so images can load automatically without compromising privacy.

Can't blame a small-time email provider like Fastmail from not offering something like this given the resources it'd likely require, but I'm using Microsoft's "enterprise" solution (Exchange Online) and they really have no excuses other than poor prioritization.

Anyone aware of other providers offering this feature?

Why don't README's state how the main thing is done?

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS "pgcrypto";

LOOP
...

gkey := encode(gen_random_bytes(8), 'base64');
gkey := replace(gkey, '/', '_'); -- url safe replacement
gkey := replace(gkey, '+', '-'); -- url safe replacement
key := rtrim(gkey, '='); -- cut off padding
...
END LOOP
That sounds like something easily rectified, so why push for retracting the submission?
I would also suggest yearly doing a full backup of the account:

https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout

Gmail backup archives are easy enough to load and read in other email programs, if google's storage ever becomes unreliable for you.
Sorry, I don't understand how she risked her own happiness for the sake of others. She picked a wrong battle. Google didn't do anything wrong here. An internal review process is something that happens everywhere. It's not always consistent, but it's still important and valuable.

The sad part is that social media, like always, focus on her race rather than the details. Here's an example tweet from Jeremy Howard, a known researcher (114K followers) from fast.ai:

"Whatever else you think of Google, you gotta admit their crisis PR response is staggeringly incompetent.

The day they were found to have illegally spied on and terminated activists - they picked that day to fire their top AI ethics expert (a black woman)."

He completely ignores the most important thing - why she got fired. He calls Google PR incompetent because they fired a famous black woman researcher after what happened. You see, people expect that Google would check their employees' skin color and gender before they decide to fire them. The content is not important.
That is two steps of 10 steps, I re-read and noticed that the filter on the website properly caught my war message.
And filtered it out.

Yep. I've edited the title to make that clearer.
For all its faults, Google bends over backwards (and sometimes forwards) to advance minorities' interests. It's just not plausible that they're doing the opposite in this one case.
My understanding is mamba, like conda, just call pip. So it likely wouldn't make a difference.

The pip section in a env file is just a list of arguments passed through to the pip install command. Prior to pip 20.3 we had to add `--use-feature=2020-resolver` to get an install that resolved for our teams that used mamba.
"You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole." ~ The Social Network

A good number of social activists are rude and abrasive and then blame how people react as racism/sexism. No one wants to be around or work with anyone who is a jerk. The quote above sorta reminds me of how this person is going about their life.
This is exactly what Boeing had originally proposed, but the airlines did not want to incur the equipment and training costs to do it.
Beijing was preparing for confrontation with the US and intended to dominate the world "economically, militarily and technologically".

Well, yes. China has 4x the population of the US, just passed the US in GDP, is way ahead in manufacturing output, and has a far higher growth rate. Of course they're going to dominate the world.
I'm not seeing the Inactive Account Manager on my paid Google Workspace account, so I don't think it applies there. If it does on legacy free domains, I'm guessing that you'll get a notice in one of the admin newsletters.

Depends on the price point. Largely Ryzen is winning at the moment but Intel has some compelling options at the low end. E.g. the 10100f looks pretty good if you're not wanting to spend much.

Of course AMD haven't released the 5000 series options on the low end yet, so you can only choose between it and a ryzen 3000 series CPU.
I don't think Gmail allows this. I explicitly deleted all my old gmail addresses and moved back to my own mail servers in 2013 (due to Snowden/domestic spying .. sad how so few people did anything due to that) and I remember reading that once I deleted the e-mail address, I could never create it again. I made sure I had moved over all the accounts I cared about to my new e-mail address first.
