Another take. I think that one of the forces that promote “monopolization” on the internet at least might be the issue of trust. It’s harder to trust “smaller” (or less known) businesses on the internet and vendors on platforms like Ebay, Etsy, Airbnb. Roughly speaking there’s quite a lot of scam and low quality products/services out there. Things work differently offline where physical location can in many situations create more sense of trustworthiness even for smaller businesses. Online – your brand is extremely important. And bigger companies tend to have better established brands.

Just a speculation (and not very related to BD in particular but to a situation where internet got overtaken by corporations instead of becoming that decentralized paradise we once hoped for).

HifiBerryOS is really nice. I used it for a couple of years (mainly for Spotify and Airplay) and I never had any problem with it. I need to create a PR to integrate my project Soundsync[1], it would add multi-room audio synchronization to this project. The last missing integration imo is a Chromecast receiver but this is blocked by the missing encryption keys. It would really be awesome if Google releases them.

It's incredibly entitled to think she would be the only person who gets to decide what the last day would be.

Either side can terminate the employment earlier.

I'd assume best intent that she would not go with something like "my last day is a year from now".

Why would if she leave immediately or 14 days later? If she didn't get to wrap up her work, then that's Google's loss.

To be honest, trying to spin this as Google firing her is very very strange. It's a non-issue, and she did throw an ultimatum.

Back when I worked on eHow used to find the most ridiculous pages to test with. There was one that was something like “how to make ice water”. Apparently enough people searched for it for it to be worth writing up.

>Anyone getting tired of those toxic PC enthusiasts who stirs a fight in a team accusing its leadership for being incorrect on sensitive issues?

In general? Yes. When it comes to the snakes FAANG have created biting the hand that feeds on the industry stage? No. I absolutely love to watch their internal dramas spill out for all to see or, if you're smart, take warning from.

>I don't know if Gebru actually qualifies aside the matters of ethical AI. In my experience those people who work in engineering who sidewalks into some non-engineering matters often lack skills to compete where most do, and decided to leverage their incompetency with some other topics. And Gebru is doing exactly that in Google.

Not in a position to comment on this person's credentials or skills but I don't personally begrudge the type of grifter you're talking about. Most of us are merely trying to optimize for income and they're no different, and their success is a result of poor leadership in companies and/or society.

It's a "boy who cried wolf" for me. I've seen these activists promoting lies to us the entire summer of protests for completely made-up causes. I've seen them distorting facts and pushing misinformation through media. I've also seen them bullying people via social media 'witch hunts', which is happening now with Jeff Dean, Nando de Freitas and whoever stands in their way.

The whole activism movement is toxic and whoever brings it to the workplace.

I have the same kind of setup than the parent comment (rpi2 and hifiberry dac, hooked to a marantz amp that also does phono).

It runs on raspbian and is USB powered and Ethernet networked by the close Apple timecapsule NAS / wifi AP. It then provides pulseaudio remote, shairport and mpd services.

I have not witnessed stutter but with buffering comes some kind of lag indeed.
I strimmed down the basic install, by removing packages, disabling services and devices, in order to reduce power consumption and have the rpi to work out of the timecapsule USB.

My main takeaways:

1. The system has been stable for years and sounds great. I use it on the weekends mostly.

2. The DAC is great, because the built in audio is really terrible.

3. Spotify over Airport quality is not on par with pulseaudio, nor with playing flac through mpd. I have not found great mobile mpd client. Convenience wins.

4. It is strangely difficult to have pulseaudio running headless.
"It’s the places that everyone want to live in that are crowded"

So if SF goes 'Hong Kong' style i.e. tears down all those homes and puts full on sky-scrapers everywhere, will the 'current' residents be happy, and will future residents want to be there as much?

'Everyone wants to live there' - which is why it's so expensive - this is an inevitability of a good culture whereupon the physicality is usually critical.

If SF went Hong Kong it simply wouldn't be SF.

Pay the price or live elsewhere - California is vast and beautiful.

Also - if some areas on the peninsula put their minds to it, they could be as cool and fun as SF.

You’re missing my point. A Russian influence operation to support the Trump campaign actually happened. This is a fact supported by evidence which bears up under examination.

There is no evidence of electoral fraud or whatever nonsense is currently being claimed. It did not happen. It is, in fact, a deliberate lie.

Someone saying stuff on CNN is not reliable information. Are you really going to compare that to the Mueller report?

In fact, what is reliable right now is how courts have been deciding these ridiculous claims. And they’ve all been universally rejected because the claims have no evidence, make no sense, and are basically asking for something that’s actually illegal.

So we are talking about two completely different things. Something that really happened, based on evidence, and something that is a bunch of lies and distortions. That is my point.

And, I’d really encourage you to learn how to better judge things. Or, to stop participating in this anti-democratic bullshit.

She is likely fired for her toxicity.

Looking at this Twitter thread between her and Jeff Dean 6 months ago: https://twitter.com/JeffDean/status/1278571537776271360 ...

She was being toxic toward Jeff Dean, who is her manager's manager.

I looked at that tweet, and yikes. I'll never do that to my colleagues.
What is the "it" you're referring to here?
On one hand, I don't disagree with the judge's reasoning. There hasn't been much evidence about the transmission rate.

On the other hand, while the transmission rate from outdoor dining may be very low (4% per posts in this thread), if that difference happens to be enough to push R0 above 1, or worse, cause a decrease in the number of available ICU beds, then allowing it could be a big mistake.

To put it another way, even if the evidence to close outdoor dining is weak, running an IRL experiment by leaving it open is very risky.
It's crazy. I started writing why I disagreed based on my visceral reaction to the topic. But as I constructed my arguments, they were not sound. So I suppose I agree? Hm.

The above paragraph is sincere--that did happen. And interestingly, it shows the power of consuming the opposing view point. We all know that the government is currently spewing lies, and it is indeed a disgusting and corrosive thing. I want to silence it, but it's easy enough to contempt it from a distance. Let the truth and the lies be heard so that we as a people will grow wise to it all.

> Also, it seems as though ./node_modules/ being the default could be assumed automatically though, no?

No, there is no magic node_modules directory in any other JS environment, other than Node. Deno aims to be compatible with web standards. Import and import maps are web standards, require and node_modules aren't.

> Deno would be a drop-in replacement and we could move our whole codebase over to it overnight

The reason that you cannot move your existing codebase to Deno tonight is essentially the poor web compat of the existing Node ecosystem.

Even better, if you have a reasonable worry about losing control of your phone with data that is on there, you should just get a second one that contains nothing sensitive or personally identifiable, uses wifi only, no sim.

This is even good practice if you go to public places where you can get your phone stolen.

Ask HN: Data Science to Software Engineering
I would like to shift to software engineering from doing data science work.Currently doing data science work at a startup for a year, after having finished my masters. As data science is more open ended, my business team does not understand of the uncertainty involved, whereas software engineering is deterministic with certain output. How should I plan to shift? What should i study?
I think everyone knows that the UX is bad. The work just has to be done, and it's not particularly critical.

If the residents of SF wanted to go Hong Kong style full on skyscrapers everywhere, they would have.

Bulldozing communities to create utopian/dystopian hyper density is one of the most short-sighted urban concepts going.

There's plenty of space, go elsewhere.

Also, I'll be even a hyper fast public transport system that connected the Bay Area with surrounding regions: imagine the Bart/Caltrain being 'one thing' running in a really fast loop around the bay, with quick buses LTRs as spokes - and then fast communter trains connecting them out to Sac, Modesta, Santa Rosa, that might work.

Especially if they build smartly around slight more dense centres instead of just pure suburban homes.
I may be misunderstanding, but I believe that the proposal was made much longer ago than 2017 and its original duration was closer to 20 years than 4. It became limited to 2017-2020 because the proposal was only accepted (by Pinker) in 2017, having lain unclaimed until then.

Hence Pinker's remark about 15 years of hindsight, and the fact that some of the comments below the line were posted 19 years ago.

With this in mind, I'd suggest that 2020 was picked as an arbitrary "sci-fi future" date rather than for an arbitrary term of 4 years. Still arbitrary yes, but more understandable in my view.

I don't think the comment is referring to individual companies but the market as a whole. It's clear that wealth is and has always tended to accumulate to the richest when not checked.

This article does a great job laying out some examples. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/06/25/six-facts...

> In fact, the top one percent alone holds more wealth than the middle class. They owned 29 percent—or over $25 trillion—of household wealth in 2016, while the middle class owned just $18 trillion.[iii]

> This has not always been the case. Before 2010, the middle class owned more wealth than the top one percent. Since 1995, the share of wealth held by the middle class has steadily declined, while the top one percent’s share has steadily increased.[iv]
By that logic we ought to be closing all businesses. Why should outdoor dining be closed, yet indoor retail stores still be open?

You have to evaluate the trade-offs. People's jobs matter too. Another trade-off is that by taking away relatively safe options like outdoor dining, we force people to gather in private homes which is much more dangerous -- and they will gather; it's the holidays, and nobody can prevent it.
Plenty of anecdotal examples to go around on both sides. Talk to anyone in FAANG, you will hear the same story.

Im just saying not to form hard conclusions on things unless you have pretty hard evidence available that presents a certain picture. Its too easy to fall into the trap of manufactured outrage.
So we should vote for leaders that “the media” hates and scrutinizes? That is a sad, cynical view of the world. Also, you realize that the media in the US includes outlets on both sides, right? As in, every leader pretty much fits both characterizations?

> equally critical to all leaders

Not all leaders do things the same way, and there might be more cause to criticize one over the others. It should be _possible_ to publish criticism for all; that doesn't mean there should be equal amounts of criticism.

Otherwise, you could have one administration that mishandles a lot of thing complain that they were treated unfairly, just because they're rightfully criticized for their shortcomings. (Which it looks like has been happening recently.)

The question is, though, what happens if one side keeps knowingly publishing baseless allegations to stir up fear and mistrust.
It works without Javascript, which means a few things.

Firstly, for customers; it works behind asset-blocking insane corporate firewalls, or for some poor schmuck in the sticks getting one bar of cell data and just enough to load our HTML, or simply to impress anyone running uBlock₀ in Advanced mode.

Secondly; because front-end Javascript bitrots faster than any code I've ever seen in four decades in tech. Reducing the quantity of JS in favour of letting the browser just do its job, is one of the best investments I can make against technical debt. JS can't be abandoned completely, but I measure every kilobyte jealously, and graceful degradation to baseline browser behaviour is my north star; simply using baseline browser behaviour is by definition my optimum limit for long-term productivity.

Thirdly; for folks depending on assistive browsing technologies. Yes, they do work in the face of dynamic web pages & SPAs, but many screen readers are still at their best when tabbing through plain HTML with a sprinkling of ARIA markup.

Finally, it's also a simple yet versatile mechanism. Good for anything from FAQ items to dropdown menus, even with default styles.
I think it's going to be more like hypervisor + vms + containers.

A proper analogy is probably a city block in NYC. Lots of buildings of various eras with the only commonality being utilties in and out plus the ground they sit on.

Although periodically buildings are knocked down and rebuilt, this is an exceptional circumstance.

Sure Audio makes an ADAU1701 set of boards that looks similar. Parts Express seems to carry Dayton Audio branded versions.

Can't say how well they work but a stack of IF board, DSP only, and Bluetooth programmer cost me around £50. Looks like the DAC resolution is better on the Beocreate though. No idea how good the amp is either - there are plenty of bad TPA3116 boards so sidestepping that problem might be worth the premium too.

At what point to we discern fact from fiction? We're currently discussing this issue on a site that caters to the tech community, an industry and culture based on solid science and facts. I doubt anyone in the industry would argue unsubstantiated fanciful opinions stand on equal ground as the established and proven scientific facts that underlie everything we do in stark terms. If we did, we would get nowhere. Why would this principle not apply to anything else? Yes of course there are no shortage of divergent opinions and theories within our science and any other science for that matter. Questioning withing reason leads to innovation but there is no valid argument to be made that any opinion is equal to established facts and should be treated as such. Our industry and culture would simply not exist if that were the case or any other science. Should the wild opinions of people who think the Earth is flat hold the same scientific weight as millennia of established and proven math, science and observation? Our opinions of reality do not change reality. I'm sorry, your assertion only tries to poison the well by arguing emotion and unsupported opinions somehow carries equal weight to established and provable truths. The arbitrator of truth is reality.

I could draw an A on a piece of paper and it'll have the same meaning too. There's a near infinite amount of ways to "encode" the letter A. Same thing goes for any data. the more complex the more ways to represent that data.

Importantly none of the representations are A. A is a concept and doesn't exist as a real tangible thing in the way paper, bits, or other encodings do.

>AMD cards are better for everything except compute

Ive heard this, but Im not convinced. Don't they have more memory, so while the processing is slower there is less fetching of memory outside of the card?

Of course this would require custom compute kernels for same throughput like matrix multiplication, but still.
Is this really "on" the RPi though? They mention inference on ARM Mali GPU (which is cool! But I don't think the RPis use Mali right?) but it wasn't clear to me if this was just using the RPi to take a picture and send it to an AWS server to do the actual inference, then return the results?

The last time I fiddled with inference on a RPi was several years ago when it took a couple seconds even for inference of a basic ImageNet CNN reading low-res images from the RPi camera (can't remember specifics sorry - I think it was on a RPi 2 or 3). FPS was something like 0.5-0.2FPS which made "real time" usage kinda difficult. I don't know what performance would be like now on a RPi4, but GPU accelerated inference on the Broadcom GPU would be nice.
There is no consensus yet. We should keep an open mind.
