I'm saying the house doesn't even have skin in the game. At least in the prediction markets, the house is just pairing one person who'll bet "Trump wins" against another person who'll bet "Trump loses".

Even when the "wisdom of crowds" holds true, the crowd is made up of thousands of individual winners and losers. The house just extracts a cut (fee, commission, vig, juice, take) from the winners' profits. They stay profitable no matter how "wise" the odds settled on by the crowd ended up being.

Edit: concrete example. If you want to bet on Andrew Yang winning election for NYC Mayor, right now you'd pay 47c for a share on PredictIt. If he does win the election, you get a dollar. Where does the dollar come from? Well, you didn't really buy your "Yes" share from PredictIt. You bought it from somebody else on PredictIt, who's placed a standing offer to pay 53c for a "No" share. You accepted their offer when you bought your share taking the opposite end of their bet. Your 47c plus their 53c makes the dollar, and whoever wins gets the whole dollar. Except not quite, because PredictIt takes 10% of profits, so if you're right, you actually get your .47 back + (0.9 * .53) = $0.95, PredictIt gets the $0.05, and the loser gets zero.

It's good to be the bookie.

If we look very well at it we see Apple made the most contributions to map Africa. Who's going to complain about that? Google, maybe? I guess african roads don't suit the google maps cars.
How does the Matrix experience compare to Signal, feature-wise? I ran into similar frustrations with Signal's lack of polish in certain areas when trying to move family over.

There's something to be said for why WhatsApp is so popular, it feels like the most full-featured and polished communications app.
Do you have more specifics, and/or have you advised them of the difficulties? It seems to use the same "mach" build process as does firefox, and I build FF developer edition regularly (not every day, but damn near): https://github.com/servo/servo#normal-build

While investigating this, I have deep sympathies for whoever has to work with that taskcluster silliness because yikes that is some A++ grade obfuscation as compared to a .gitlab-ci.yml or .circleci or even the .travis.yml they migrated off of
The benchmarking challenges you are facing are pretty common in the AutoML community. My colleagues and I at Google Research are trying to solve this with https://github.com/google/nitroml. It's still super early days (no CI yet), but I think it could help your team benchmark on a set of open standard benchmark tasks as we open source more of the system.
Is it possible do the anomaly deduction with clickhouse data?
UO is the only game that allowed players to completely dictate the social norms between players and didn't allow players to box themselves into their own segregated safe experiences. It's easy to understand why MMO's evolved away from this approach as they attempted to reach the masses, but there's an entire audience looking for something else that got abandoned. It's a shame, really.
> Land based missiles aren’t very useful in second strike scenarios because your enemy has already cratered your missile fields in North Dakota.

That's why you need your infrared, and radar satellites.

> Submarines launched missiles exist entirely for this true second strike capability, one that can’t easily be dispatched with.

At the peak of cold war, up to a half of US SSBNs fleet was tailed by union's submarines. With giant advances in sensing, and computing since the cold war, SSBNs became much easier targets.

It's foregone conclusion that your deterrence is stronger if you increase the number of ways you can attack.
The classic problem is, how do you define hate speech and what counts as inciting violence? Who are the people deciding such things?

Agreed. But do we mandate that they understand it and somehow enforce their implementation competency?

As pervasive and helpful and as easy to understand what Clean Code is, it is still very rare to find someone who understands it and applies it in the field.
There is fear that this will reduce the degree of government subsidies that farmers recieve.

Current yields of Indian crops aren't stagnant, but there are fears that water levels are too low to keep them rising fast enough for the coming rise in demand.So too much land on water consuming paddy crops may be bad in long run. Bill tries to push towards diversification by introducing agri markets that may raise investment in nontraditional crops.

http://amp.scroll.in/article/821052/punjab-is-set-for-record...

Fear is also that this will hit farmers in state of Punjab and Northern UP the most. They rely on a system of guaranteed crop buying by government. Moving to market model may lead to changes that proponents say will raise their income but they believe it will lead to corporations eating away the profits.
OSM has lots of other sources of bias, so it isn't really an additional problem.

For instance, someone has enthusiastically mapped Coke County, Texas:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/32.083/-98.465

I haven't looked into it, but chances are it is just a result of them living there, and it creates a huge bias in the data in Texas.
My understanding and usage of a "walled garden" is to mean a closed ecosystem. By definition it no longer exists if Epic wins.

Continuing the analogy: Some people want a walled garden to keep their kids safe, but your suggesting to remove the walls and just advice kids to stay on the lawn instead.
So come up with a timeline that's not made up, then.

In the absence of Government leadership, I've had to do it for myself - I have a set date beyond which I will no longer follow social distancing. If I didn't have that, I'd have snapped long ago, which is strictly a worse outcome.

People individually snapping and choosing to do whatever they want is more dangerous than the alternative of the Government explicitly announcing that lockdown is a time-limited policy (and as such providing more support to the hardest-hit individuals).

Perfect is the enemy of the good.

Well, if that's even a good analogy, since lockdown is clearly nowhere near perfect, it's trading life for life.
You aren't the only one.

> We're coming up on the one year anniversary of authoritarian rules.

What exactly is "authoritarian" about them? These rules were imposed and enforced[0] under authority granted to the government through democratic processes. And if enough people don't like it, most states have recall/impeachment processes that can allow the citizenry to remove the elected officials and replace them with people who will take a different path.

The fact that none of that has happened shows that the people who truly believe the measures taken were incorrect are in the minority, likely a small vocal minority.

If you want to talk about authoritarianism, look to actual authoritarian states, where curfews, lockdowns, and quarantines were implemented, along with severe restrictions on people's movement... with no avenue for citizens to oppose these measures (and if they try, they get arrested). That is not at all what has been happening in the US, UK, and similar nations.

[0] Also consider that many of the rules imposed on individuals have essentially been voluntary and under the honor system. In most (but not all) places in the US you don't get ticketed or arrested for failing to wear a mask or socially distance, or for violating a quarantine or curfew.
A departure from the series, but it doesn't change the fact tha Ultima VIII was a gem and easily one of the best rpgs I ever played. There was something absolutely amazing about how little hand holding it provided, especially playing back when I had no internet to help me out.
My Mac isn't an M1, but it does only have 16GB of RAM. Yes, it goes into swap when Safari grows like that. It's mostly ok even with several GB of swap used, but can slow down.

My solution is to restart Safari when it gets too bad, as it's obviously leaky.

For a long time I used Firefox, was annoyed at how slow it would get on a busy browsing day, and didn't realise the memory consumption of Safari (also open) was overloading the poor machine. One day I saw the stats and realised what was happening. Now I open only one browser at a time, and everything is much nicer.

If I decide to get another Mac (undecided), I'm holding out for an M1X or whatever with more RAM. 16GB isn't comfortable for my work any more. I'm not the kind of person who casually buys new expensive machines, so won't be getting the x86 32GB as an intermediate knowing I don't really need it, as I think it would be better to end up with both an x86 (which I already have) and an ARM going forward. I'm into code generation and portability, so that's better for me. And I like the idea of less fan noise!

Yeah the greater fool theory doesn't sound too appealing to me.
You're defining "self made" to fit a very narrow definition. All the things you say are true to an extent, but it's not black-and-white. Would you consider Bill Gates self made, considering the magnitude of his achievements, etc?
Hey there! We wanted to help out people that don't have drawing tablets by providing drawing and diagramming utilities to create designs with ease. The diagram mode comes with common system design icons to save time from drawing or explaining what those components are during an interview. We also have a whiteboard mode for those that like to stick with what they know. Thanks for asking!
The resolution scaling is done by the scan out engine, not by the GPU. At least on capable hardware, which should be basically anything you see today (maybe not on SBCs). It is also as fast as the scan-out is.
Interesting. I'd like to read more. Any good books on this?

Those protections don’t apply to me. I generally don’t have any employment rights at all, and the reasons given in this case for Uber drivers not being contractors would certainly also apply to most of the work I do too.

If I worked in the UK, I would presume this ruling makes my kind of work illegal, and there’s very little difference between this ruling and something like AB 5, which very explicitly make my line of work illegal. Luckily my jurisdiction has very few anti-contractor laws. The only one I run into is some case law around how long and independent contractor can work for before they become a de facto employee. Which is occasionally frustrating, but not on the same level as something like this. But any time I see this sort of thing I do get concerned that my jurisdiction will eventually get around to “saving” me from the working arrangement that has been massively beneficial to me over the past 10 or so years.
Well, the .Net runtime isn't exactly the most successful story from an end user perspective, where you occasionally run into weird problems with mismatched runtimes or missing runtimes or similar.

Granted, it's not that often, but it feels like a lot of apps relying on it just ship their own copies of the runtime. Still saves resources if multiple apps use the same runtime version, but...
Well, it's an overtly, explicitly white-supremacist dating site. It exhorts people to "have white babies" because "only white people create white societies"; it links out to several lists of "pro-white" media including the aforementioned Daily Stormer, various "white genocide" blogs, and Stormfront; and it had forums full of posts on topics like "intentional miscegenation in advertising".

It would honestly be pretty hard for me to think of a more obviously racist website.

The thing is with this stuff… it kind of makes sense that you would find dating sites that revolve around a particular cultural or minority background. You'll find sites primarily for gay men, lesbians, Muslims, people with disabilities and so on. That's because the default culture of a "mainstream" dating site is going to be "generally mainstream able-bodied heterosexual white-ish", and people who have a cultural context that doesn't align with that can have a bit of a tough time with those.

A site focusing on "white dating"—at least in the Anglosphere—doesn't really have the same reason for existing. I mean on the surface level, something like "white dating" is the same kind of thing "muslim dating", and I could certainly see some circumstances in which it might not be deliberately bad. But the former is immediately super suspicious, and inevitably a peek behind the curtain shows it up for what it is.
Is Limewire running on the rover? I hope they don't download an update and it turns out it's a dragon ball amv with a linkin park soundtrack.
The helicopter uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, which doesn't appear to be radiation hardened. I'm guessing their usual BAE RAD750 PowerPC rad hardened CPU was too heavy to put on the helicopter.
I worked with some people of that particular JPL software team to setup a similar setup like the Mars helicopter for a earth UAV.

Can confirm that multiple real time systems are used. They are controlled by a non real time Linux system.
Experiences with the AXD301 suggest that “five nines” availability, downtime for software upgrades included, is a more realistic assessment. For nonstop operations, you need multiple computers, redundant power supplies, multiple network interfaces and reliable networks, cooling systems that never fail, and cables that system administrators cannot trip over, not to mention engineers who are well practiced in their maintenance skills. Considering that this target has been achieved at a fraction of the effort that would have been needed in a conventional programming language, it is still something to be very proud of.

Ok, so now I get why Bitcoin is regarded as "deflationary": on long enough timescale almost all bitcoins will be lost this way, and the last man that still possesses his wallet keys will be a trillionaire. /s
In this case it is factually true, certainly in Europe but probably in other regions, too.

I think perhaps many commenters here are very young, so when I say restaurants did not deliver they cannot remember how it was 20 years ago. Order over the phone for delivery was limited to a few types of food places (mostly pizza and fast food made by the same establishments).

As an online platform Deliveroo was perhaps not the first (Just Eat is older, though not as focussed on delivery) but in the UK (and perhaps Europe) they really made that service explode. Note, though that I did mention Deliveroo and similar services in my original comment, not only Deliveroo. I think this is also linked with the rise of smartphone and apps, which, really exploded in 2007 with the first iPhone. The same goes with Uber.
So many database connections. Inumerable. Sigh.
I don't think HTML+CSS is the way because of innate goodness of them, but because the web led to so many people being expert at it, and so many tools being built around it, including a cross platform browser or too that are top notch to render it all.

At the very least a proper gui library could precompile all of that stuff so you aren't literally parsing HTML and CSS to render things, and HTML And CSS parsers don't need to be part of your running code. Nor a Javascript JIT, and runtime, etc.
It isn't about potential for collapse, and even if it was it is far less likely that the USD collapses tomorrow than BTC does...

USD, Euro, Yen, etc. are all far more useful as a medium of exchange than BTC. I would argue that their primary usage is just that - a medium of exchange.

Until you can buy most useful things easily with BTC it is not like fiat.

Lastly, if BTC or any other crypto was to grow to the extent that most people were willing to accept it in exchange for goods or services, I believe that governments would be incentivized to shut it down.
There were multiple localized outbreaks in border areas and cities with international airports, because of lapses in quarantine measures.

If Scotland wants to implement a zero-covid policy while England doesn't, they'll need to limit all cross-border traffic to a trickle, with supervised quarantine for everyone who does cross the border, and they'll need to treat a large area behind the border as a buffer zone where a single case outside quarantine immediately results in a lockdown.

Not impossible, but unlikely to be popular before it's successfully implemented.

The basic technique is to use modular architecture.

You divide your application into separate problems each represented by one or more modules. You create API for these modules to talk to each other.

You also create some project-wide guidelines for application architecture, so that the modules coexist as good neighbors.

You then have separate teams responsible for one or more modules.

If your application is large enough you might consider building some additional internal framework, for example plugin mechanism.

For example, if your application is an imaginary banking system that takes care of users' accounts, transactions and products they have, you might have some base framework (which is flows of data in the application, events like pre/post date change, etc.) and then you might have different products developed to subscribe to those flows of data or events and act upon the rest of the system through internal APIs.
This sounds like an old slashdot headline
This is very cool. My two favorite languages are Clojure and PHP.

Do you implement persistent data structures? (totally cool if not, just curious)

Is Phel a subset/superset of Clojure? Perhaps a list of "differences from Clojure" vs "implemented features" would be useful for people looking at Phel.
After reading about it, I'm a little floored that Tatis Sr. was on board. Like he didn't have the most decorated career ever, but he probably made from high 7 to low 8 digits. Unless his relationship with his son is absolutely shot, which it apparently isn't considering he was able to sit in on conversations about this exact deal, why is he not just funding his son on his own?

This whole story just leaves me very...confused.

I wouldn't worry, in a world where Bitcoin takes over, the economic logic is such that no power can be used for non-Bitcoin purposes until profitable mining has been arbitraged away. This means that the vast majority of power generation will be dedicated to hashing while the oceans rise and the environment dies. The people with the bitcoin will not find a whole lot to buy for the coins in the wasteland when it all has played out.
I think the desktop seriously needs a production, RAM and developer friendly breakthrough that isn't Electron.

another thread noted that the hardened CPU was not fast enough to do the required sensor fusion and responses. In the case of a severe fault, the 801 can be restarted fast enough (while in mid flight!) to not crash the vehicle.
>But if the evidence is not available, then there is no good reason to believe it.

Based on this statement, I am guessing you are an American, and are therefore accustomed to all relevant hard evidence always being available. What you may not know is that in the rest of the world, sometimes some hard evidence is not available, so those people have adapted other mechanisms for forming beliefs about what is true. One such mechanism is the use of reason to draw inferences from other relevant facts.

For instance, in those countries, if a man who has professed a strong desire for wealth is tasked with guarding a large pile of money, and the money disappears, people in those countries will infer that the man likely took the money, even if no one saw him take it and the money is not later found in his possession.
Formula for Human Genius and Creativity
Yeah, agreed. I think it's a sort of "read the room" type situation. If it feels like the person you're talking to really needs some commiseration, downplay your good mood. Otherwise, being in a good mood yourself could help boost the other person's spirits.
> Are you saying the crowd has an edge over the house?

No, the crowd is paying the house to bet against each other.

> Sports betting platforms, poker sites, they are in the business of profiting off people who think they have an edge

In that that's a big part of what motivates people to gamble, yes, but parimutuel gambling—which, in effect, includes prediction markets—the house isn't taking a side against the gambler, it's taking a cut off the top from all the gamblers on all sides, then the winners split the remainder. (Or splitting among winners first and charging a fee to the winners, which amounts to the same thing.)
Writing our own Cheat Engine: Exact Value scanning
For some people, no power for days plus running all lines does not prevent frozen pipes. The problem is in not knowing exactly which conditions will freeze the lines, we dont have temperature sensors on them, so people run them and hope for the best. Few are so prudent as to voluntarily drain their home for days on just the chance lines will freeze.
In the same vein, if you kill (later in the game) the "omnipresent guard", next time you stole something you would be attacked by him regardless, but now his sprite/skin was that of a zombie :) cool easter egg (or bug!).
