The best I can do is Amsterdam 2001, got off the train station in the city, couldn't find the hotel, grabbed a cab and told them the name of the hotel, took us to some suburb 5 miles away or something. Something was lost in translation there. Thought 'oh shit'. Got on a train back to the original point. Realised hotel was just on the other side of the square.
Okay, so what are some other cheap ways to have more input methods without lifting my hands off the keyboard?
It’s nice to see a project that explains how it fits in the design space. Still after looking at this I get the feeling they haven’t really tried Cue in anger. I also think cue should be easier to introduce to a team precisely because it is restricted.

Sometimes the benefit from FHE can be larger than the speed gains. Doubt facebook would use this (for scaling and privacy reasons) but if the CIA needed to not have to trust a cloud provider for something of a smaller scale? 100% worth it.

Yes, not every organization has the compute power necessary, or even prefer to not handle it at all in house. If you only manage keys locally, that's a significantly smaller attack surface.
A lab I used to work at had a light field microscope system. Sorry, though, its existence is pretty much all I know about it since I never personally got to use it.
I have 2 email addresses because of that. I thought it would be good to have my and address at my own domain but if I could go back in time I would tell myself to just stick with the gmail address. For anything where I can type in my email address, it's fine. But if someone asks for it verbally, I just give them the gmail address because firstnamelastname@gmail.com requires no extra clarification.

Spaces was not fully compatible with S3 at one point. It was nearly impossible to download your entire bucket when it was huge. Rclone was able to, but it was horribly slow. AWS CLI would only grab up to 1000 items. It seems like they did finally fix that though.

I’m actually a huge fan of Bunny now. The CDN piece is about as cheap as it gets (for any utility based service), it’s optimizer and other things work well, and it works seamlessly with their storage system too. Which is super cheap itself, allows you to control how much it’s replicated (and where) - just waiting for them to deliver S3 compatibility so all the existing tools that exist work, or some other type of CLI tool.
Which doesn’t matter if power generation is decentralized and localized?

>If grandma is only watching a couple movies per year, would Netflix even bother throwing up a warning message?

Yes. In every scenario that a company could cut cost, they've done it. If they haven't done it yet, they will do it. Absolutely 100% Netflix is going to cut grandma off.

What's it to Netflix to throw up a message saying "little Timmy, if you're there in the room with grandma then it shouldn't be a problem for you to enter the 6 digit code we just sent to your phone." That's what they're trialing now. Next you're going to have to enter a code even if you don't share your account just in case or due to some error or other excuse when it becomes a PR problem, such as when Netflix bans a customer and cancels their account because boyfriend was trying to watch a movie while girlfriend was at work and didn't see the code on her phone until it was too late, which is also inevitably going to happen, and you're going to read a reddit thread about it that has a score of 35k and 10x gold and Netflix is going to formally apologize for the error and reinstate her account and then it is going to become par for the course after that. That's where this is going, bad UX all round because some middle management can make a bonus by cutting costs, or because Netflix's revenue is falling and they just don't want to admit the cause and refuse to correct the error, like IBM and every other failing company did.

I don't know where you lived but I've been there and 10EUR doesn't make you feel free.

It's an amount lower than the volatility of basic life (running out of toilet paper...). You would have to save five months to buy a jeans.

10EUR remaining on your bank account is precisely the amount that makes you feel insecure and poor.

Either you live in a very poor country, either you have no idea what you're talking about and are just condescending.
I don’t think that’s the right takeaway. I think it’s more accurately described as a situation where the original offering just isn’t enticing enough.

That was not the original point. Humans are relatively predictable whether we understand how the brain works exactly. An AI model isn’t an actual intelligence in the normal use of the word. It’s a functional fragment that is able to emulate the ability to absorb a pattern of information for repetitive conditional recall in future processes. Until a researcher has had ALOT of time spent on observing the limits db particulars of a model, there are unforeseen behaviors it can have that can have incredibly real and serious consequences depending on the application. A more fair comparison would be training a new intelligent species to do something before learning about the characteristic behavior quirks of said species

As someone of a more libertarian bent myself, I find the opposition to unions slightly puzzling. It's clear the disdain is driven by opposition to socialism, as so many unions are subverted by socialists and their influence, but as a general idea they are perfectly acceptable if not ideal and should be championed - free association, individuals coming together to use their bargaining power to provide corrective balance to a part of the market suffering from power and information asymmetry… there's so many good things about unions.

In fact, if they were championed by - shall we call them economic liberals? - then they might be a damned sight harder to subvert and be a whole lot more effective and palatable. I know Sweden has strong unions and workers on boards (something I learnt from the very readable though still arguable book 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism[1]), with restricted power (the employees can never become a majority in any vote on the board) and it seems to me to be an obviously good idea.

I have worked at a big tech company like this and it was truly one of the most inclusive and welcoming environments I have ever been in. Of course, a lot comes down to your manager and work group. But I am inclined to give the company as a whole the benefit of the doubt here based on my own experiences.

We will see how this shakes out, but I hope it is not another unjustified pulling of the race card, as false racism accusations do seem to produce a significant "boy who cried wolf" effect.

From the abstract:
"This article will address this debate and try to understand Bitcoin's use of energy, and more specifically its carbon impact today and tomorrow. In this article, I
will not engage in a war of figures, rather put those figures in perspective and explain the underlying trends of proof-of-work. I will also try to explain what a Bitcoin world would mean in terms of environmental but also economic sustainability.
All in all, we end up discovering that Bitcoin may be
much more of a hope than a threat in the sustainability debate."
It's a big discussion, but I don't think we need 100% carbon free to the point of technicality. We should just jump on whatever is good enough and easily available right now, not in 10 years of commissioning time. The tech is here and now and it could be installed on your roof tonight. We should have rolled out nuclear 5 decades ago, and be reaping the rewards now.

In my state in Australia, which resembles California to a fairly uncanny degree in many areas, we have a majority of energy from rooftop solar for a period of most days, the rest is filled by gas generators and the whole shebang is stabalized by a massive tesla battery ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsdale_Power_Reserve ). It isn't perfect but it is a huge decrease in carbon emissions and a big step toward totally renewable.

Somewhat ironically the state also has the national nuclear waste dump and was previously the site of British and American nuclear weapons testing out in the desert. So uh, guess we may as well have popped a reactor out there in the 60s and have enjoyed the clean energy.

There's plenty of good reasons for city pop to see a resurgence at the current moment. Many of which are mentioned in the article, such as the now-lost innocence of a time when capitalism seemed fun rather than threatening.

But one factor I think is underappreciated is the copyright environment surrounding these songs.

Having no remaining commercial value in the Japanese domestic market, let alone the global market, city pop songs were able to spread widely and quickly on YouTube instead of languishing forever in their labels' respective back catalogs. In addition, even if the labels knew about this and wanted to reassert their ownership, policing Western streaming sites would have seemed an unpleasant distraction from the real goal of selling more CDs to Japanese buyers.

Sure, there's artistic reasons for Americans to be rediscovering these decades-old Japanese pop songs --- but there's structural reasons as well.

This is essentially what starlark does, although a slightly limited subset of python that's less prone to complicated things (no classes, so no multiple inheritance and no need to do what cue does).
What others would you propose? That is currently the biggest and most divisive one, at least in the US.
True. But while a high voltage converter might be expensive, it's far more efficient and would pay off costs over the duration of the life of a home. Having a single one of those per home should surely be a net win. The utility is responsible for high voltage AC transforms down to the home, and the homeowner fronts the cost of the centralized expensive but efficient converter to power the DC circuit within the home.

If solar and local generation are thrown in the mix, they bypass the converter and directly power the home circuit.

Why wouldn't this be more globally optimal?

edit: derped the converter

Same here, plus it helps me better appreciate the human voice as an instrument. Composers tend to rehash the same few topics over and over, even across languages, so rarely does understanding the lyrics actually add to my listening experience.

I'm sure lyrics are just as hokey in other languages, but this way I don't need to care!

Your Article 8 protections only matter as much as they're enforced and respected by the government. If Article 8 was the defense you imagine it to be, then the Investigatory Powers Bill wouldn't have passed in the first place.

It's very hard for me to square the text of Article 8 with a bill that allows warrantless access of every single IP address you visit. If that's consistent with the government's interpretation of the text, then it doesn't sound to me like the text is doing its job.

> A decade ago, economists at eBay, including a former professor of economics at UC Berkeley, proposed an experiment to see how effective the company’s marketing was. All eBay search ads on Google were stopped for three months in a third of the US. There was only a small difference in sales. The economists concluded that the people clicking on search ads were the ones already planning to buy something on the site. eBay was wasting millions of dollars. Other companies may come to similar conclusions. Airbnb slashed its digital marketing budget last year in response to the pandemic and says that it saw no change in online traffic. ...

How is torrenting different from going to the library and borrowing DVD for free? Besides scale and efficiency, in principle, how is tpb different from a library?
I feel like this is not true in regards to older material. Shows like wkrp in Cincinnati can never be made available with all of the music liceasing issues. Some classic shows like soap get censored. Some shows just go missing. Most never make it to streaming and many aren't available for purchasing.

Piracy is just as important. The reason why more don't is because it is easier to just pay and perhaps the content is not worth the effort anymore. People watch movies on fast forward now, play games on phones while watching and generally tv or movie viewing as a background activity.

> > Was the Emperor written, or was it the biography?

Based on the other examples, I think they meant, at the point where you have up to "written", do you expect the sentence to continue as above, or as something like:

> I had this impression recently while reading the Akbarnama, which is a sort of court-approved biography of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, [who was] written as the greatest leader the Mughal empire ever had.

Although if so, I don't think that one's a very good example, as suggested by the need to editorialize in the "[who was]" above.
> We all grow and hopefully learn from mistakes. ...An implication of this “banned users” data sharing is that this data exchange must be overseen by regulators

the gov't can require that each company has an appeals process, which can be brought to a court if the banned user decides that it's worth escalating.

In fact, i think a general, low cost court process for digital service providers would make for a great consumer protection, but still allow digital services to be flexible in how they want to provide. For example, google can still ban people, but the user can appeal, and if the user is unsatisfied with the appeal, they can go to court (without costing exorbitant amounts of money).

They do, but we make exceptions for appliance power all the time. Laundry appliances frequently have a higher voltage circuit dedicated for them, at least in California.

Why not treat the exception as the exception? Appliances might consume disproportionately more power, but they're much more static compared to the variety of devices frequently plugged in and out of a home's sockets, most of which have to lug around an inefficient rectifier with them.
It’s true! I wrote software that upgraded firmware on every one of those batteries without frying them up (most of the time). There was a public paper/talk on that few years back
I think for the comparison it would be better to use what percentage of users are killed. For example even though fentanyl kills something like 50% fewer people than alcohol, alcohol probably has several orders of magnitude more users. If fentanyl was as common I suspect it would kill more people than alcohol
