Basically yes. "Features, or distinctive speech attributes, are extracted from speech every 40ms and are then compressed for transmission. The features themselves are log mel spectrograms, a list of numbers representing the speech energy in different frequency bands, which have traditionally been used for their perceptual relevance because they are modeled after human auditory response."
I'm not sure this is a real problem. If you gave a Christie's rep $10M for a modern art piece, and gave them another $1M cash and said "this is off the books" I'm sure they could write down the sale was really only $10M. But why would you do that? You are paying extra to shaft the artist of royalties? To devalue work you just purchased? What is the benefit in this transaction?
Apple does not do any banking in the first place. They are not a bank, do not function as a bank, nor do they have any the requisite licenses to be a bank.
Went through this recently. Had to download xiaomi unlock software to unlock the bootloader. Probably sent an image of my hard drive back to china in the process. And the 7 day wait period. Really is an example of price too good to be true because they collect your data and probably get huge government subsidies to do so. Nice phone though once you flash it.
> Is there any documentation of that actually happening, though? How many calls were they responding to?

I really doubt police in 1938 kept track of every time they left the station (especially if it turned really mundane) and same thing goes for phone calls.

Best we can do is trusting someone's memory, which is not really reliable.
You appear to be attributing a position and an intention to the parent, and then attacking it. The attribution does not seem warranted.
Yup, I love it.

Can you do a > relationship? Two boxes flowing into one.
>Ban vertical integration. The government needs to force divestiture of each product category into a separately run company.

Can you give an idea for how this law is written? For example, where is the line for a company that sells butter? Are they able to sell milk? Cheese? Ice cream? Frozen dinners? Wholesale to other restaurants? Are they allowed to open restaurants where they sell the same things they sell in the grocery store?
If you need to appeal to the goodness of people's hearts, you know you've lost.

The age of Enlightement and the idea of liberalism have been so powerful because they programmatically went against any kind of censorship. Their ideas helped to see how humans are truly all equal, that we all share what it means to be human.

Identity politics set out to destroy these ideas. It is the enemy of liberalism, of a free flow of ideas, of a will to see us all as equals. It divides us into groups, based on biological features like the color of our skin, our age and our genitals.

This insanity will not end well.
Garbology
Absolutely right.

I'd certainly pay for this service.

Imagine domain names actually being secure, like bitcoin is secure.

I've posted this idea here before and also got shat on and downvoted to oblivion.
The division between the North America and International segments is based solely on which web site was used (e.g. amazon.com vs. amazon.co.uk), not the tax jurisdiction. The AWS segment is global, and the North America segment includes income from the Canada and Mexico sites. In sort, you can't infer much about what portion of the income is taxable in the US from those operating income figures.

Even considering all North America + AWS income together, since they paid $1.360B in domestic US income taxes that year (not $162M) the percentage would still be 8.37%, not 1.2%. That's ignoring all foreign taxes and the losses from the International segment. Do you consider a minimum 76% error margin to be "pretty accurate"? I sure don't.

Keep in mind, too, that losses from prior years can be carried forward and deducted from current income. That's part of the reason that there were no taxes paid in the two previous years; the current-year income is only part of the story. This is perfectly reasonable when you consider that $3B in losses one year followed by three years with $1B in annual profits equals no net income for that four-year period. Why should there be any income tax liability when there is no income? The alternative to carrying forward losses would be a refundable tax credit for the years with negative income to offset the taxes collected in profitable years, but that would be very easy to game.
Thanks for the advice! All the best with steering your career :)
At the moment, it does it by not allowing updates at all.

It also forbids some parts of SQL that could get you update-like functionality, like appending new versions of records to a stream and then running

select * from (select *, row_number() over (partition by pk order by updated_at desc) from stream) where row_number = 1

or something.

(Boy I wish there was less awkward way to do this.)

EDIT: I'd love to ship bunch of data from few CDCs to Materialize and then run realtime reporting on that but without updates or window functions, Materialize can't do that just yet.

EDIT2: The part about updates isn't true, see below.
It could be just random rule enforcement.

I manually pay my electric and gas. I can skip if for a month (or two) and not a problem. Except sometimes (once)..

I have no idea why. I feel its just some random thing depending on who's running the dept that day.

We experienced the same thing in College when after paying our electric bill for two months, they shut our power off without notice. Upon digging it was because we were still listed as "Residents" on the bills we were paying.
"As with any ML based system, the model must be trained to make sure that it works for everyone. We’ve trained Lyra with thousands of hours of audio with speakers in over 70 languages using open-source audio libraries and then verifying the audio quality with expert and crowdsourced listeners. ... Lyra trains on a wide dataset, including speakers in a myriad of languages, to make sure the codec is robust to any situation it might encounter."
Probably nearly everyone can make it. Even the Pakistani kid born into intergenerational debt slavery that means he is making bricks from when he's 5 years old and has no access to school, healthcare or balanced nutrition. It's a difference of a 50% chance for the luckiest to 0.00005% chance for the least lucky.

But to see the world through the lens 'everyone van make it, just put effort and stop worrying' is simply absurd.
Honestly I don't, the same way I don't know if Google is bypassing them.

But according to the logs on my router Blokada is working.

The only thing that is disingenuous is this argument. It has nothing to do with arrogance and everything to do with virtue signaling and fascism. Telling people how they should feel and unwillingness to listen to opposing views goes both ways.

The easy way to tell that it’s disingenuous? Search this on Google:

Appearing in print in his same publication as recently as 2018, 2019, and even December of 2020. So it was fine to print in appropriate context before he said it, and after he said it, but that particular week it was racist and unforgivable. Pretty clear what’s really going on here.

I'm looking for a role which allows me to make a big impact on UX. If on a small team, I'd like to be involved in UI and UX design and development. If a large team, I'd like to be involved with product or engineering teams who keep engineering and design working very closely. I love building UI, doing research with users, and exploring opportunities to create great experiences. I could theoretically do a pure UX design/research, or a pure UI development role, but doing both keeps things exciting and challenging!
huh? fingerprints are not 'usernames' (you don't just provide a 'username' for an applepay authorization for example).

The "it" in the phrase "it is not so" relates to the phrase "spending bitcoin is economically irrational". It is economically rational to spend bitcoins because a person wants to enjoy some of her wealth before she dies. That is the only reason I have sold part of coins I mined in 2011.
The primary problem with nuclear is the fact that it's insanely expensive. If you're not running it flat out 24/7, then the cost per MWh goes up dramatically.

diagrams.net (formerly draw.io) have an xml format that seems fairly open and they can also read/write a bunch of other formats (see here https://www.diagrams.net/blog/import-formats ) so something that gives you their xml format as a starting point might make sense.

Jobs, if tales are true, would be an ass/arsehole. Does that make him bad? I don’t think so. Toxic, yes, that’s potentially toxic (we don’t know what the editors were like).

I think your and my definition of bad differ. Bad to me means being directly significantly detrimental to others who were not doing bad to you.
The level of evidence you're expecting is unreasonable given the events. Consider it from his perspective, which is what most of us are doing:

You suddenly notice that you can't access any of the stuff you need to live out your life. Oh fuck. You make a tweet in a panic, and maybe hoping to get some attention, since the faceless trillion dollar company doesn't give a fuck about you.

The tweet blows up, and wbronitsky comes along demanding more information. A clear timeline, strong evidence, legal arguments etc etc. Meanwhile this poor guy is just trying to get his shit back.

Trust me, Apple pays plenty of people to run interference for them. You don't need to do it for free.
Lots of positions requiring Vulkan skills and no positions looking for OpenGL ones.

"Reqs" is "requisitions" and not "requirements". Sorry about not clarifying that.
You're using a rank of 27th out of almost 200 countries to make the claim that America is a third world country? We're in the top tranche in terms of socio-economic mobility and you're trying to spin that as loss?

Sure we could do better, but providing better mobility than 80-90% of the world is not exactly horrible.
I legitimately do not understand this line of thought. The stuff is old, going through many translations, and editing passes, and printings. So the divine name must have been destroyed in printings multiple times. Has god smote anyone yet for this?
What I find sad is that there is a bunch of low hanging investments that improve the "luck" probabilities for all people. Well designed built environments, access to power/refridgeration/medicine, access to information. Obviously there are political barriers to achieving these small investments, but the most successful societies will these basics into existence, and the groups overall quality of life is higher.

I find the developments of cheap solar power + low latency satlite internet + digital banking(access to stable currencies + inflation hedges + global transactions) as essential to deliver the services that the most successful and privileged have used, to the poverty stricken around the world.

As these people join the fold, do we prepare them documentation, do nothing, or set up roadblocks?

I wrote in Perl, Python, and Julia this month (yeah, 1st day). Probably will have some C++ and R as well later. We'll see.
Typically the problem is called "income equality". If it used "wealth inequality", it may confuse some. There's often a tradeoff between accuracy and brevity and/or clarity when writing surveys.
None of the electric bills in Texas should have been a surprise. Those people chose to pay market rate for their electricity, that is not always going to turn out well for the consumer during events that would lead to market rate being completely out of wack.

I'd _never_ let any major bills pull directly from my accounts. I'm bothered just by having a recurring Netflix draw. I'm not claiming one perspective is right and the other wrong... but that my history and experiences have strongly trained me into one behavior, and yours into another.
It must be said, though, that Mars is a place where it is easier to freeze humans than not.
I do wonder if Blue Origin's funding model of wealthy benefactor has affected delivery as well. I don't doubt that Blue has fantastic, committed, and talented engineers. But there is something to be said about "We need this in X weeks, or the company might fold" motivation.
A Malthusian collapse would entail running out of resources because the population grew too fast, not because the resources are otherwise affected. Conditional on some constant access to a shared resource, the price increase would smoothly counter the population increase, bringing everything back into stability without ever leading to massive starvation. Supply shocks are certainly a thing, but we have not seen anything like a Malthusian collapse since he wrote about it.
It can't be just that. iCloud storage and Apple Music were two of the subscriptions I was paying for, to get that sweet 3% cash back.

It's possible that the card was maxed out and payments for the subscription failed, maybe? I caught mine before that happened.

The photo editor on my Sony phone keeps telling me it wants to send data to Sony and refuses to open when I decline. So the Chinese are no worse than the Americans and, apparently, the Japanese in this regard.
Not a great example. In the US, you can buy small quantities of drugs (or soap or whatever) in the travel section of a CVS, or in a dollar store. Usually this is held up as an example of the difficulty of being poor though (not a boon to the poor), since the unit price is, of course, higher.

I’m pretty sure governments require people to have degrees which is why companies ignore you.
In what way. You would call being 18th in income mobility "tremendous?" I wouldn't.
The original question was about "recursive descent".

You keep talking about "functional recursion".

These are not the same words, nor do they mean the same thing. I do not understand your underlying question, or what point you might be trying to make if the question is intended to be rhetorical.
Functional Programming Headlines for the week of March first, 2021
To add to the other excellent comments here: I've been getting paid to think for most of 30 years now, and I'm absolutely certain that my rate of thinking has decreased over time. Related: the number of different things I can keep in my head at a time has also declined.

It's possible that my somewhat slower rate of thinking is partly or mostly offset by more effective thinking, based on decades of experience, but I'm definitely not sure that's the case.

My professional experience is an advantage, but it's also a disadvantage at times. 20-25 years ago, I knew quite a bit about how virtual memory performed on the same program running under HPUX 9 and AIX 4. Woot? (Yes I understand that such 'ancient' knowledge and experience probably produces mental pathways that helpfully apply to more modern considerations. Probably.) (Spoiler: virtual memory performance on HPUX 9 and 10 (at least) was abysmal.)

To the main point of the article: it's complicated, but, agreeing with various sibling comments, I'm pretty certain that the right kinds of pressure/stress, in the right conditions, at the right times, etc etc, will effectively speed up the rate of thought. That agrees with my experience.

Normal disclaimer applies: human brains are radically and often absurdly different, and one person's experience will, on average, shed very little if any light on another person's experiences.

I wonder if conservatives and progressives would give significantly different answers. It appears they asked political affiliation category, but I didn't see it worked into any summary stats related to "inequality". Maybe if I get the raw data in CSV I can do that myself in MS-Access or Excel.
Just add some dirt to those M-16A2/M4/M249 and suddenly the AK/RPK is a lot more fun. Especially if your life depends on it.
I'm not arguing against anonymity. I published that comment under a pseudonym myself. I am criticizing people who will disavow what they wrote if they are called out on it.

That said, documents with the ol' John Hancock have most certainly carried more weight historically.
It would be reasonable to think that the candidate with a ton of OSS contributions has a passion for something, which luckily for the company it happens to be coding.
Eh, that's terrible UX for everyone involved.

I'm more or less OK with the idea of Apple not developing for other platforms. However, they are actively hostile to anyone who has offered and tried to get interop working on other platforms, which is really a shame.
To say the least, yeah. At 3kbps and 20ms framing, it's only 7.5 bytes of payload per frame.

You don't know what happened because you skimmed over it. Brilliant.
What if he blew his budget buying cable TV and soda? I lived in poverty, and had many aquaintances who were also in poverty. Everyone had children, and so many of them had $30-40k a year in benefits (welfare). Everyone had gaming consoles and very large modern TVs and computers, endless soda on tap (that is all they would drink), and everyone had cable TV and bought drugs (cocaine, weed)...and cigarettes. Everyone I knew. This was just their life with no serious ambitions. I forgot to mention that most households pulling in government benefits were engaged in fraud. Often the fraud was a live-boyfriend who contributed money but who's income was not counted on the mothers' benefit calculation because she claimed to live alone with her children.

Before you make soap box comments you should be aware of reality. You might think I'm arguing against welfare benefits but I am not. The whole time I watched this state of affairs I seethed because it was middle class tax payers making up the difference in pay for walmart and other corporations who pay poverty wages.
Ok yes, some people are forcing people. Clearly the person you responded to meant that they, and most people concerned about overpopulation, don't want to force anyone.
Not sure I understand this, because autopay or not, if you accrue a 17k bill for a service then that's what's due unless you negotiate otherwise, and the lack of autopay is irrelevant.

If you're worried about funds disappearing unexpectedly, many major U.S. banks wave checking account fees with direct deposits setup. It's trivial to setup a bank account with multiple checking/savings accounts, where one account is funded as necessary with expected spending, and have the excess go into the other checking/savings account(s).

That's a best practice anyway, since having a debit card hacked into is a much bigger ordeal than a credit card, so keeping that checking account with minimal funds is optimal.
