DFINITY | San Francisco, Palo Alto, Zurich | Onsite (remote supported in some locations)| https://www.dfinity.org

DFINITY is reimagining the Internet as a public network that hosts secure software and services. The Internet Computer is a new technology stack (which can replace the need for legacy cloud services, CDNs, databases, web services and more) that is unhackable, fast, scales to billions of users around the world, and supports a new kind of autonomous software that promises to reverse Big Tech’s monopolization of the internet. DFINITY was founded in 2016 and has raised over $150mm from top-tier institutions including Polychain Capital and Andreessen Horowitz.

Agree, but the users don’t know to include that. And Google became dominant because they learned how to attach that context automatically.

Are you sure? It’s 5 years after that Million ‘Murican Hydrogen bet was lost, and we’re still 2 full orders of magnitude away. (In spite of massive subsidies for fuel cell in California.)

At least 8,890 FCEVs are on the road today, a far cry from the 53,000 the California Fuel Cell Partnership projected by the end of 2017.

Metal shops could definitely use some better software. Most don't prioritize it though, because everything has been "good enough" for so long.

A company I worked for had a supplier who cut metal. The owner was hardcore about making money. They wouldn't start cutting until he was devoting 95% of the sheet metal to product, and if the machines stopped cutting for more than 1 minute, an andon light would start flashing. Needless to say, he ran a very tight ship!

>“How did you go bankrupt?” “Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

Great quote! Gradually and unknowingly you approach a tipping point until some factor pushes you over the edge like the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back".

I believe Sale was/is broadly right. Some of Nassim Taleb's ideas also play into this viz. our inability to predict the future and the catastrophic effect of non-linear and "black swan" events. It is not "Technology" that is the problem but our stewardship of it. We simply are not taking a holistic system view of it which is absolutely necessary when our system (i.e. our planet) is "closed".
To Kevin Kelly, today, $1000 is barely worth anything anyway. So he also stands to gain nothing. (And, indeed, he didn't even want the money, but asked for it to be sent to charity.)

So ask yourself the question again. Why would two public intellectuals make a public bet, when neither stands to gain any monetary benefit from it? My goodness, it's a mystery.

Did they regress on Ford Sync 3? Because I find it terrible. The UI design for simple things (eg, song playback) is not great. Targets are small. The weird 'FordSync' combo is weird and it seems like the addon-apps section is dead. Luckily it has AndroidAuto - but even that has weird issues with volume level.

I use Twitter a lot and often find really good tweets and want to bookmark them in different categories, so I can browse them easily next time, unfortunately Twitter doesn't offer categorization, so I built a Twitter bot and website to store Tweet bookmarks : https://bookmarklite.com

Those are also older FPGAs, price for the same performance today would be lower.
Stadia doesn't need to be better than local rendering, it just needs to let me play my game with an acceptable quality. I'm not 100% satisfied with the current quality and I'd like it to improve, but as I grow older I'm more interested in experiencing the game's content rather than worrying about how superior my resolution/PQ/fps is. I don't care if I lose the games I purchased 2 years ago, once I've played the game for a while I'm done with it, I'm not interested in continuously revisiting old games over and over again.

Honestly, I'm sick of the limitations of traditional gaming. If that means some compression quality loss and being somewhat inferior to local rendering, then that's the price I'm willing to pay. Playing games is not one of the most important parts of my life, but with the amount of crap I've put up with dealing with flexibility and compatibility issues of a superior local rendering setup for modern games, you might think it was.

Would love to discuss how we could extend spacy as a powerful engine to also support processing from layouted documents. Just imagine how powerful it would be if you could throw a PDF document into it and it would preprocess it to text + layout, e.g. Paragraph and perform the next steps like extracting the right paragraph or date, adress, etc.
I would love to provide/support that transformation. I have been doing similar things using rasa_nlu+spacy.
Thank you for creating this.

Until this post, I
(1) was amazingly not aware of this
(2) have started a side project in Django/DRF
(3) am incredibly attracted by FastAPI's high-quality documentation

As it relates to the final point I would say the documentation has won me over so convincingly in just an evening's reading that I am planning to immediately rewrite the django rest framework codebase in FastAPI.
Sure, so what evidence is there that youtube does not make a profit?
IANAL, but I think they could retroactively claim the code in the archive was not legally their right to push under that license. That is the same principle that stops me from going further, say, and copying their APSL code into a GPL program, and then claiming the whole XNU source is now completely free and no-take-backs. So it depends on whether they owned the copyright to the original source, and also that the published bundle was authorized by Apple to provide that content. Absent timely clarification from any party, however, I think we can assume it is out in the open.
> An ignorant person could believe that American ideals mean that American society was built for all Americans equally, but the audience members were not ignorant people.

I imagine most of them knew that Jefferson was a slave owner, and all the rest of it that you lucidly describe.

Baldwin did three things to earn their respect.

Firstly, he lured them into seeing racial injustice without triggering their defences or tribal hostilities, by giving them the vantage point of 4 year old eyes. He told them his first 4 years of American acculturation was a positive experience, only spoiled when he realised the experience excluded him for an arbitrary reason. They could feel his disappointment, and root for the underdog instead of having to parry tribal hostilities.

Secondly, he re-positioned his nemesis on the side of his cause, by revealing that a mind poisoned with racism is less free than a body that is steeled to fight it over recurring generations.

Then, after demonstrating his credentials as a high functioning elite peer through his mastery of history, oratory debating, and cultural diplomacy, Baldwin gave the Cambridge Union a realpolitik proposition they couldn't resist. If America is going to keep suppressing the rights of 1/9th of its population, a new generation descended from slaves, led by the likes of himself and MLK, are going to educate the masses to blow the place up.

Baldwin did this so skilfully, no ultimatum was spoken. He just shared his concerns. The audience applauded because they shared his concerns through the osmosis he engendered by respecting the format of their debating society, and excelling at it. As you point out, Buckley was unable to respond in kind.

It's a big topic. I don't have any single book in mind, but I can point you to some sources.

"Elite theory" in political science and sociology is closely related, e.g.: https://www.britannica.com/topic/elite-theory, which has a history going back to ancient Greece. U. Delaware's polsci department has an intro to this in the US context: https://www1.udel.edu/htr/Psc105/Texts/power.html , and there's also this article by a prof at USCS: https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/power/class_domination.html

Much of Chomsky's writing is concerned with such topics, e.g. https://truthout.org/articles/us-guardian-elite-rulers-date-... , which makes the point that the notion of an elite guardian class goes back to the founding of the US, and it in turn was based on ideas inherited from monarchies.

A couple of others of Chomsky's are https://chomsky.info/199606__/ or https://chomsky.info/20141202/ . These are just examples which deal with particular mechanisms of control which are used by elites to achieve outcomes in their favor.

Marx and Engels are relevant here also. Here's the opening sentence of Chapter I of the Communist Manifesto (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-m... ):

> "The [written] history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."

It goes on to discuss power structures in various types of historical society.

Yes, I did read it. Nothing in the article suggests youtube didn't make a profit. I get that revenue != profit. What evidence do you have that they don't
> no they didn't. google plus was half-assed, underhanded, and self-destructive.

Google+ the social network was surprisingly nice to use especially towards the end.

> profiles were automatically created if you had another google profile, pissing everyone off.

Yep, that was part of the commitment. They were fully committed and did it even how many people the annoyed along the way.

> they provided essentially no feature advantage over other social networks,

Towards the end it had a lot of advantages like one login account but still true pseudonymity wrt to other users as well as at least one advantage towards each other network.

Of course by then they'd made everyone angry and made everyone here shun them

> which means they had no weapon to fight against network effect.

Probably more what I wrote above IMO. Mixing the brilliant Google+ social network with the despised Google+ identity solution wasn't the most brilliant thing they did. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but still.

> they enforced a real name policy even as facebook became notorious for doing the same.

Yep. And when they finally created the best solution the web have seen so far it was too late.

> they aggressively banned business accounts, with obvious results.

Can't remember it but wouldn't surprise me at all.
Stadia doesn't have a $10/mo cost or $75 upfront cost though. Stadia Pro is optional, and the client runs in Chrome on almost any device (not sure about iOS yet).

I can go on the store and buy Cyberpunk 2077 and start playing on my phone if I wanted to.
It's not really new; Musicians and artists who make an income from their work often compare it to prostitution. You're not selling your body, so much as your soul. Personally I find the comparison melodramatic, but I understand the sentiment.
Not OP, but we are a far cry from a techno utopia. We really had two opposing world views, one where technology would help us achieve a better life, another where it would contribute to us falling off a precipice. Neither won. On the plus side we have a world where global poverty is falling and more people are developing middle class life styles, we have amazing technology like gene editing, incredible computational ability, and entertainment options. However, this same technology has pushed us dangerous close to climate disaster, has us in the middle of a mass extinction, and has enriched a very small number of people.

You could evaluate this bet on the technical measures, and that was probably prudent, but at the full picture, the situation looks very mixed.
We're hiring junior, senior and "lead" embedded software engineers (among plenty of other types of engineers) at Zipline.

I've been here almost 5 years and it's been absolutely great. To quote my coworker the other day, "this is the best place I've ever worked, and I've worked at 14 companies. Well, okay, GoPro during IPO was pretty crazy. It's the second best place. Out of 14."

So yeah, come help us make cool autonomous delivery drones a real thing. Mention hacker news when you submit something on the careers page, and I'll make sure your info gets routed my way.

I was confused by that complaint about it not working too. If the water disappearing isn't enough to confirm it then a hygrometer certainly would do the trick.
You're going to compare that to Cambodia in 1978, China 1961, or Germany in 1945?
I think the author’s success with a hardware product is a reminder that success outside big organizations/academia requires more breadth than depth. Very inspiring story.
> That fact was never communicated to our editorial team until

That’s a overly specific denial, their saying the editorial team wasn’t informed. However, it doesn’t actually mean the events where unrelated, as long as the editorial team assumes no agreement was reached at which point nothing needs to be communicated.

If they had actually chosen a new pick before the deal was canceled they would have said that. Instead they refer to internal emails rather than the actual timing of the events. Which where #1 Pick, #2 request for a kickback, #3 no agreement reached, #4 new pick. They don’t even deny the actual content of the emails posted.
I see. I guess you really need a good connection. To be honest I’m surprised at how well Playstation Now worked

AMP Up Your Business Knowledge with Onpassive
What is business knowledge?

Owning and operating your own business involves so much more than simply selling your products or services. In addition to working on your company in a certain way, you need to constantly work on developments. This exists almost in every stage of business cycle and is a fundamental process during the growth phase.

Knowledge in your business isn’t necessarily about thinking about creating new products or services or new ways of selling them. Its much straight forward. Useful knowledge that already exists in your business can be found in

-Experience of employees
-Designs and processes for your goods and services
-Your files or documents
-Your plans of future activities

All businesses have access to a pool of knowledge, whether its understanding the work environment or customers’ needs, skills and experience of staff etc. The way organizations gather, share and exploits this knowledge can be vital to its ability and development.

Basic sources of knowledge

Sources of business knowledge could include

Customer knowledge- By understanding your customer needs you might be able to develop products or services that would meet their needs.

Employee and Supplier Relationship- You can seek the opinion of employees and suppliers as they have their own impression of company’s performance. You can use formal surveys to get opinions on informational basis.

Market Knowledge- Watch development in your sector. Have a check on new entrants in the market, your competitors’ performance and learn about new product launches if any.

The passage you cited in the comment I am currently replying to doesn't say there is no difference. It says that it isn't clear either way. So right now we just have anecdotes until someone cites a study making an assertion either way.

Here's my anecdote which runs quite opposite yours: As another person with ADHD who has been prescribed a low dose of Adderall XR in the past, it's always been an unpleasant experience for me, to the extent that the prescription bottle said "as needed for academic work". It did help me focus for a few hours, although whether I focused on the important things or distractions was up to my non-medicinal coping strategies among other factors. Unfortunately, disruptive and uncomfortable side effects lasted far longer than the period of improved focus.

Nothing I just described matches my understanding of how neurotypical people enjoy Adderall as a recreational drug.I don't think I've ever once in my life actually wanted to take it or enjoyed the experience, not even on those occasions where I chose to take it (the last of which was almost a decade ago) because of the beneficial effects it was prescribed for.
have a look at pg_repack. That'll solve it for you.

> but no amount of vacuuming actually allows us to fully reclaim that space

a full vacuum would. but it would also lock the table for the duration (which is something pg_repack won't do)
Destroyed? No. Made better? Definitely no. Made worse? Surely. But made worse isn’t the same as destroyed.
> The proper medication and dosage should not make you feel "high" -- if anything it's almost the opposite. You get some clarity, an ability to direct your focus without a thousand distractions a minute, and perhaps even a sense of time.

Is this not aso a common effect on the non a.d.h.d. sufferer,? which is why it is so commonly taken on exams, as a means to increase performance.

> For people with ADHD, they can be truly life saving. For recreational use, avoid.

Avoid it more than any other recreational drug?

Train your own Model for QNA
Edit/Addendum: I finally got the chance to sit down and actually play the game. As expected, it has a delightful mood (and is technically impressive) and had me smiling most of the way. I feel a little bit of regret about injecting a critical thread into the conversation around it. Many people here are describing meaningful experiences and I don't mean to detract from that.

But, I don't take back the criticism itself: I still think the experience would have been even better and more true to its themes without the ratings system (though it wasn't as distracting as I expected it to be)
I use a "swamp cooler" as a whole house humidifier. It's the same concept. Also my cardboard wick doesn't get mold - unlike some other paper based wick humidifiers.

I have the steam humidifiers for the small rooms. But my winter has been so much comfortable since using the swamp cooler. I just turn it on a few times a day and within minutes, the humidity jumps a few percentage.
Since 2013 they're released three first party games:
DOTA Underlords
Artifact
Half-Life:Alyx

The first was well received but died off the rest of auto-battlers, the second was terrible but is being reworked, and the third was critically acclaimed and the probably the most important VR game released besides BeatSaber. I know you said not counting VR but I feel like skipping Half-Life:Alyx, a game in a well beloved franchise that was very highly rated, is a little disingenuous

Besides that they've also:
Trialed Linux-based Steam Machines
Greatly contributed to Linux gaming through Proton
Tested out two unique hardware systems (Steam controllers and Steam link)

Outside of them being essentially the biggest and most important game distribution service, as well as helping devs with any distrbution, multiplayer, DLC, etc services that they need.

So I'd say it's a toss-up between whether that would benefit Google or not.
