I don't know about America but I recently discovered that using any system not built into the car is illegal in the UK.

The fact is that a lot of people use such a mount anyway, but they are technically breaking the law and can be sent fines (eg if spotted by a motorway/freeway automated camera system).

It kind of makes sense.

Devices built into a vehicle have to meet safety specifications and it can be proved that they have. There is no such reassurance on a dash mounted phone. It could easily switch mode and distract you and cause an accident.

Doing that would equate to $2.7 billion a year in revenue. They currently generate about $70 billion a year. So, yeah; they'd pretty much die if their revenue dropped that much.
Hm. Ok, these are good questions. I did biochemistry, where we kinda talked about "fitness" a lot -- I haven't unrolled it in awhile, so you've got me thinking. Let me try...

Fitness is a property of the relationship between an actor and the environment -- the human and the gazelle in the savanna. It's not a property of the gazelle or the human or the savanna. It's purely relational. One actor seeing fitness is it having (and seeing) connections with others that allow its structure to "persist". Persist to the next generation in biological evolution, and to the next tick of the simulation for thermodynamic evolution. But yeah, it's all about volatile structures persisting.

So for the sake of this thought experiment -- you could imagine a god-view that sees "reality" to some degree of resolution. For the sake of capping the distance down the stack our minds wander, your current understanding of the world could be the god view. From the point of view of human actors 1000 years ago, it essentially is. The point is, you know of more than can be perceived by the actors under observation (technically, the gazelle, the human, and even the geology of the savanna are structural "actors" undergoing [thermodynamic] evolution, but it's easier to just focus on the human).

As I understand, the idea that fitness outcompetes reality is that the view of the fitness relationship will always drive out the view of "reality", which is more complex. That the complexity of reality is unfavored and unstable to perceive. That when an actor unwraps the "next layer" of the god-view, it will entropically always fail to resemble the previously perceivable appearance, all the way down. And we can dig deeper and learn more truth, but it's perhaps not entropically favoured to try to fully operate according to that truth (e.g., a rationalist society without reductive belief systems). The white lie will be favoured. Those who distort will always be aligning themselves more with the universe than those who strive for truth. And to the extent truth seems to have won, it's perhaps only because some equilibrating distortion was balancing out the equations of the larger system.

Sorry that I'm giving this sort of interpretation. I'm certainly taking leaps beyond the source material here, and I recognize it might be very frustrating how I'm speaking about this if you're a certain sort of respectful concrete thinker. That's understandable, but I suppose not where I'm at right now -- untangling the threads I'm pulling on feels a bit overwhelming to me as well. So yes, you'd be fair to disregard if how I'm able to deliver right now doesn't fit your own models of the universe :)

At risk of sharing more than you care to dive into, I suspect the topics in these articles are informing how I process this:

Anyhow, be well! Sorry if I failed to answer satisfactorily, but I genuinely appreciated your great prompts!

You have a good point, because I did fail to get a 3080, but I didn't start automating until after the initial 3080 launch.

On the other hand, I did get a 1080ti several months after launch during the crypto-boom of 2017 using the same approach. I have also stumbled upon lots of "we added more tickets to X event" type situations before they are announced on social media and disappear in an instant (think sold out music festivals and concerts).
Thanks for reading!

>what does materials mean? Is it the cost-of-materials-for-what-you-sold, or cost-of-everything-you-bought (including both sold items and inventory you're still holding?)

It's the latter, cost-of-everything-I-bought.

>The reason is that it's usually more common to only count the former (cost of materials for what you sold) when tracking profit/loss. Materials you used for inventory that are not yet sold are counted as assets on your balance sheet, since the expectation is that you'll be able to turn that into cash at some point.

Thanks, this is helpful feedback! This is my first time managing an inventory, so I still have a lot to learn about bookkeeping for it.

I should mention that the numbers so far are preliminary based on my own bookkeeping, so I'll talk to my accountant about how to better map the transactions to my balance sheet and income statement.

>You'll start tracking "turn", how quickly you sell out an existing batch, and can better plan for purchasing more to keep a healthy level that is in that Goldilocks-zone of enough-to-fulfill-orders-quickly, but less than holding too much that ties up cash.

That's interesting. I'm curious to see how much this will affect the inventory I keep on hand.

Right now, each product consists of several components that have different properties, so when I choose how much to stock each item, it's a function of:

* How many orders could conceivably happen during a sudden surge of interest?

* How long does it take to restock this item? (some items take 2 months to be manufactured overseas, others ship overnight)

* How much space does this item take up in my house? (easy to store 5000 ribbon cables, not so easy to store that many Raspberry Pis)

* How much does this item cost? (easier to err on the side of caution for cheap items)

* How confident am I that I'm going to keep using this component?

>It knows that I have an appointment on my calendar in half an hour and suggests that as a destination without me having to retype it.

I know it makes me terribly old-fashioned, but god that's horrifying.
I never signed up in the first place.

But I don't go to a school that posts assignments on FB (I have heard of this quite a bit), my workplace doesn't use it (ditto) and I'm in a comfortable-enough place that putting up with the passive aggression from family and friends when they whine about my comm preferences is no big deal.

Yes, everyone has options. But not everyone operates under the same pressures.
I think you are mixing individualistic/community vs rulebreaking/lawabiding.

Having a personal experience of both in terms of rule breaking stereotypes are a great proxy in a level incomprehensible for those unaquainted.

Let me point out that I am not saying I am in favor of one over the other and I am familiar with their historical courses that made them so. Not really a matter of DNA as UK tabloids would imply.
In this situation, there's no theoretical upper limit, is there? How is this any better than it was before the naked short selling "ban" was instituted?

MSP is deliberately not specified explicitly in the new farm laws. Dismanting regulated marketplaces, in favour of corporates and contract faming have made it redundant and only gives an illusion of choice -

- Farmers cannot sell to individual users at a scale because they don't have any distribution networks.

- Weakly regulated mandis are as good as free market with no real protection.

- Contract farming with corporates shifts the balance of power away from farmers as they do not have the capability to negotiate on equal terms with them. This is made worse with the new farm laws deliberately favouring the corporates.

I want to personally thank you for your work, and let you know I couldn’t have done an important project of mine if spaCy didn’t exist, and if it were not a free resource.

Your project was 1 of the 2 instrumental tools in my project to structure the transcripts of every word said on the floor of the New York State Senate over the past ~30 years in order to develop a topic-based “proximity” heuristic (based on CorEx, the 2nd instrumental tool) for which state senators were focused on which issues, based on the things they actually said on the record, not based on their press statements or their voting records (the latter of which doesn’t capture all the information you’d hope it would due to procedural nuances too obscure to detail here).

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I don’t know how uBlock handles CSS rules, but you can just add your stylesheets or add your JavaScript to the page, it should be enough and as performant as possible.

AFAIK there are esoteric features like DNS filtering which is not possible with declarative API. But I’m not sure if it’s used widely, I never saw it.
The only thing that Prodigy is missing is a team based workflow. We've been on the beta list for awhile for it, and are excited for it to come out- but without having a concept of users we've had to use other tools that aren't as polished on the annotation side but which hit our compliance needs.

No, the major takeaway is "update your software".

Damn it, Python 3 has been out for years now. There is zero excuse.

People keep misunderstanding this, so just to clarify: pip still works on Python 2! They just aren't doing any new releases for Python 2.

$ virtualenv --python=python2.7 /tmp/venv
$ /tmp/venv/bin/pip install --upgrade pip

The mechanism, as used by other projects as well, is that when you upload a project to PyPI you can set a minimal required version of Python. So when you upgrade, you get the latest version that supports the current version of Python.

Sometimes maintainers screw this up, but so long as the maintainers do this everything Just Works: people on old Python get old packages, people on new Python get new packages.
That's true, I forgot about that. I appreciate that those prompts don't highlight a particular option which tends to force you to read them.

I wonder how often Apple will allow apps to re-request this permission when it's been denied; I have a handful of iOS apps that are constantly asking me to grant permission to see more of my photos, and I wish they'd rate-limit that kind of abuse.

I assumed that the old pip versions would keep working, as long as the python2 packages kept being hosted, and this is just freeing new pip development from being python2 compatible. Does anyone know if this is the case?

If not, it’s a good argument for vendoring dependencies when publishing scientific code.

Obligatory "misleading title!" (title at time of commenting is "Dunkin’ employee was fired for giving donuts that gone to waste to the homeless"). They were really fired for doing a social media hitpiece on their employer that happened to include giving donuts away to "a fireman and a homeless person", and even that was a juicer at the end in response to a user comment...
> I find Gemini pretty accessible overall. There are no images, so including alt descriptions isn't even a concern. There's no CSS, so you can't make controls that visually look like check boxes, but are much less accessible. In fact, it's way harder to make an inaccessible Gemini site than to make an inaccessible website. The only gripe I have is the possibility to introduce ASCII diagrams, which usually aren't accessible.

The provides an alt text tag to preformatted text blocks for this purpose:

> Any text following the leading "```" of a preformat toggle line which toggles preformatted mode on MAY be interpreted by the client as "alt text" pertaining to the preformatted text lines which follow the toggle line. Use of alt text is at the client's discretion, and simple clients may ignore it. Alt text is recommended for ASCII art or similar non-textual content which, for example, cannot be meaningfully understood when rendered through a screen reader or usefully indexed by a search engine.

Yup. Not news. Definitely not ycomb news.
That's the problem with using document databases when you really need an RDBMs. You end up reimplementing an RDBMS, badly.
Marketers aren't trying to match you up with products that meet some unfulfilled need you have, they are trying to get you to buy anything in the very limited window available to them. You seem to be under the impression that they'll maximize that opportunity by presenting you with something you'd find useful. There are more effective ways to sell, with an enormous amount of research dedicated to perfecting the process. Unsurprisingly, the result of such efforts - unbounded by any sense of morality, are pretty disgusting. Depression. Depressed people make the best consumers. That is what they are looking for when they're tracking your off-site activity. Do you imagine they are above trying to induce depression?
Or, you know, upgrade in the 12 years you had to upgrade since Python announced it was moving Python 3.
While this is true, I think you're forgetting about all of the ways men could be injured that don't involve actively protecting women.

Need to muscle some livestock? Probably mans job.

Need to cut trees? Probably mans job.

Need to stalk wild game through the forest? Probably mans job.

Need to lift heavy things that could injure you? Probably mans job.

A teenager being too aggressive and overdoing some activity? Probably a man.

It's not hard to see all the ways men could be injured by being men, that doesn't involve protecting women from predators.

Maybe if you're reproducing a scientific experiment you should use the original package versions? New releases of pip or scientific libraries won't support Python 2, but the old versions should still work. And you won't be running different code from using up-to-date versions.

1) I am a big fan of the general philosophy of Solid. But as others have mentioned, I've found it extremely difficult to understand specifics of the proposal or to see concrete progress, based on publicly available resources.

The best place I've found is Ruben Verborgh's blog (he's a researcher who's affiliated with Solid). For example here's a nice post which goes into more detail on the ideas behind Solid:

https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2017/12/20/paradigm-shifts-f...

2) In terms of applications, I'd personally like to see more of a focus on productivity applications, rather than so much focus on social media. Better interop between cloud SaaS apps would be valuable to businesses and professionals, and would sidestep many thorny challenges like decentralized moderation.

As a concrete starting point: what if I could store my Google Docs text files on my own storage layer, and edit them in realtime using a variety of editor apps? This would resemble my ability to edit a .txt file on my computer in vim or TextEdit, but would port that metaphor to the world of modern online collaboration.

Here's a short Twitter thread I wrote on this topic:

https://twitter.com/geoffreylitt/status/1355255162626068482

3) I'm very curious to see more incremental paths from the current web to a decentralized approach. For example, what if we could start annotating existing websites with private data and sharing those annotations P2P, rather than starting over from scratch?

I've explored this a bit with my Wildcard project, where users can store annotations in a "spreadsheet" that is linked to a web page:

https://www.geoffreylitt.com/wildcard/
Yeah, this sounds like a design defect. But since the author doesn't really describe what they did, it is hard to really figure it out. I'm guessing this is some sort of query with a self-join going on, where the mongo request is a basic fetch by id.
Is the discussion moot if users can be easily fingerprinted without IDFA? It makes life slightly more difficult for advertising partners and social media companies, but not impossible. It's just a small additional barrier to friction that buys Apple some good PR.
