The phone will show 5G when you're a carrier w/ a 5G network in the area, even if the phone itself is on a 4G network. The phone will choose to stay on the 4G network if it's trying to stay in a lower-power mode (eg: fetching notifications & emails in the background), and will dynamically jump to 5G on an as-needed basis.

It would be up to Roku if Roku were willing to support Google with resources for developing their YT/YT TV apps.

They literally have no power beyond acting as a gatekeeper for their users. Their omnisearch (which was awful, at least the last time I used it) is a major part of their strategy to try and guide users towards content they profit from.

Given that it's Google's job to guard the UX of their Roku apps, I think it's 100% reasonable for them to tell Roku to add HW support for new features and not gimp search inside the YT app.
Why are you assuming everyone is looking for long term relationships and not hookups or fwb?
> Are there not at least 4 or 5 different competing companies in this space?

No, there are a combined 4 or 5 apps that cover almost 100% of the attention in this space, and all but one are owned by the same company.
LG's rather misleading "10 year warranty (small print: on the inverter drive)" on some of their washing machines comes to mind. Your LEDs are fine, it's just that everything else fails heh.
I don't disagree, I find cargo insufficient for projects of any meaningful complexity (it doesn't even support post build steps...). But it's really good at one thing: compiling crates.

But I haven't had a ton of trouble integrating it into CMake projects. It falls into the category of "know your tools." Not everything can "just work" all the time.

Half these things should be avoided. Don't mess with scroll or scroll bars. If a user wants smooth scroll, they will enable it in their browser. Snappy scroll is unpredictable and disorienting.
I saw something similar. I wonder if its continuing.

You need software engineers to make software, we are the necessary commodity of the future economy, nee grads arent getting in person experience, bootcamps arent doing as great at teaching during the pandemic, the visa program was also reduced. Are we sreing a supply side squeeze and a demand side rush on devs?
It would already be subject to Title 9, they have to provide equal access.

The school can certainly argue that all students have to meet the same requirements to participate, which would hinge on whether the student could reasonably anticipate the consequences here (an example where that isn't possible is if the school created and applied a policy for the incident).

My first comment is in response to the people inventing parallels that don't exist at all because schools and work places are very different things and wasn't an attempt to thoroughly examine the specifics. A finding that the existing obligations of the school do apply to this situation is irrelevant to at will employment.
Apple didn’t become big by behaving like a child, nor by being a pushover. Typically they create a reasonable plan and go through with it.

They know Google needs Apple as much as Apple needs Google, and of course the opposite statement is the same.

Apple showed their teeth when Google tried these tricks with their Maps app. Google isn’t really in a position to make tough demands.
It's interesting that Match.com acquired OkCupid shortly after this post. OkCupid deleted this post, and there was some minor controversy about whether they were forced to delete it or what.

Of course, this was all before the great rise of mobile apps, subsequently the Tinder model would become the dominant one, where you pay for higher visibility, and you can debate the effectiveness but it's all pretty different from how things worked back then.

I'm surprised at how submissive Trudeau was with the Trump administration.

For the C-Series plane, he did absolutely nothing for the industry and immediately bowed down to Trump. Engineering shipped to France and manufacturing to Alabama. Same thing with other tariffs and NAFTA negotiations. And now Canadians are surprised he wouldn't fight or invest in a domestic pharma industry?

Great. Are you also blocking Google Fonts? Are you sure that Google is not hosting anything you are touching on a website?

> Same goes for ads on youtube.

But advertisers pay YouTube based on the viewership reputation of YouTube. You are merely providing a reduced amount of value to Google in this way.

> You just shouldn't encourage any further people to use Google stuff by filling their ecosystem with more new software.

Very honest question: Do you think you would have actually said this same thing about the C programming language in the 70s, 80s? Maybe you would have.

All in all, I am not sure that your stance justifies writing no code in Go which provides less value to Google's bottomline than even Google Fonts.

Perhaps some advertiser somewhere in the tech industry benefits from Google's public-facing Go packages proxy data for reaching a developer audience to sell to? Who knows? But, developers can turn that off and/or use self-hosted proxies.

Also, lone wolf retaliation is fine but not nearly as effective as just running for political office and being anti-Google.

Lots of comments here on the watch unlock, while the new privacy controls are requiring apps to ask for IDFA before it's given (and before you'retracked across apps with any identifiers). The MarTech industry is panicking to adapt and become compliant and there are estimates that it will drop ad targeting by ~75%. I see this as a huge win for privacy, if Apple actually enforces it (They have given no guidance on how this will happen).
That is remarkable, and I wonder if there are explanations other than a cartel.
I've seen empty Apple packaging before.
I mean, I own the iPhone 12, 2020 iPad Air, and the iPhone SE2, so I'd assume those are state of the art when it comes to both FaceID and TouchID, no? Should be a pretty good comparison? Is there any other apple product you think I should try? I'll be very happy to give it a go.

The funny thing some of the observations described in the post is so true despite being 10+ years old.

When I first started online dating five years ago, I put in a ton of effort in my replies/messages, except I rarely got any replies. That was pretty sobering.

I still put effort in my replies/messages, but I got used to just one or two sentences rather than an actual paragraph.

A good female friend of mine complains about how guys in online dating can barely hold a conversation. I have said to her, you have no idea how many messages your average or below-average (in terms of physical attractiveness) male has to send to get a date, let alone a response in the first place.

Thank you, I tell people that I liked developing on that platform and the only reason I still don't is because XCode no longer supports it and I get critized like I'm a luddite.

Read this book (or its more academic cousin if you want a quantitative treatment): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dictator%27s_Handbook

CEOs are basically dictators with mercenary/conscript armies (depending on market and market conditions) which engage in economic rather than military competition. There are two parts to the job: expanding the size of the profit pie, and slicing it up in such a way as to keep stakeholders happy.

founder-CEOs are in a special position, eg Mark Zuckerberg structured FB so that a large chunk of the stock has no voting rights; if shareholders want to remove him they have to resort to the courts (obviously, the reality is more complex than this thumbnail sketch).

Interesting! Looks like you're right about that: https://www.modernatx.com/covid19vaccine-eua/providers/stora...

I have read that J&J also had a two-dose phase 3 going in parallel, but because the one-dose worked well enough they dropped it.

Really, given the shortage of vaccines in the world, and the fact that the U.K. essentially ran a 12-week one-dose experiment on a massive scale, I would think that we have enough data now to make the call. But, everything is more complicated than it seems from afar, so I am sure they have reasons.
That's interesting.. We're working on web data extraction in Zyte (former Scrapinghub); we have an Automatic Extraction product (https://docs.zyte.com/automatic-extraction-get-started.html) which combines ML and metadata to get data from websites automatically. Our learnings from building it:

1) metadata is helpful - not all of it, but some;
2) ML is obviously needed when metadata is missing, and metadata is missing very often;
2) Even when metadata is present, pure ML-based extraction often beats it in quality, with right ML models. A combination of ML+metadata fallbacks is even better.

Website creators often make mistakes providing metadata, they may misunderstand the schema and purpose of various fields, have metadata auto-generated incorrectly, etc. It is rarely about deceiving for the tasks we're working on (though it also may happen).

So, I don't see Zyte falling back to metadata analysis, ML models are already better than this human-provided metadata - but metadata is helpful, as one of the inputs.

We're going to publish product extraction benchmark soon, where, among other things, we compare automatic extraction with metadata-based extraction. In this evaluation we've got a result that ML + metadata is better than metadata not only overall (which is expected), but on precision as well.

I wonder if the reasons metadata is sometimes preferred are not related to quality, or to failure of ML approaches. If Google doesn't get data right, it is not Google's fault anymore, it is website's fault.
Strong AI is a terrible terminology. I understand that the term is widely used and accepted.

When people say Strong AI they often mean Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Weak AI by comparison is an even poorer term. What is usually meant is narrowly applied AI, and even, just usually, application-specific uses of machine learning.

But these narrow AI systems aren't weak. In fact, we're using those narrow applications of machine learning for some powerful applications. They're just not AGI.

In this article, Strong AI is used twice: in the title and once in some passing remark in the article. In neither case is it referring to AGI specifically. As such, what is not meant is Strong AI in the way that is accepted but perhaps just "highly trained" AI, or machine learning with lots of data. Regardless, the use of Strong AI in this article seems unnecessary and gratuitous

A good article on this topic: https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2019/10/04/rethi...
The article states that they are actually allowed to keep all of this secret, since the 1980s.

This was not the case before then. I often wondered how the patent system lost it's usefulness, and the article does a pretty good job of explaining this. Sure it has a bias, but I read a lot of financial news, so it's definitely a useful counterpoint.
>And then it's been continued since then for the same reason by every president and Congress on both sides of the aisle? Of course not, even if it started like that, and that's a big if hinging solely on the ramblings of a single discredited bureaucrat.

Yes. The incarceration rates reflect it. Blacks are DISPROPORTIANATELY penalized by drug offenses, it's not even close.
Right, which is why I think it's likely a result of VC direction. It's not enough to have a profitable or sensible product, it has to be something that can sell in acquisition for 10 or 100 x the investment given.

"Autonomous vehicles are hot and AI is hot, go with that."
This is true, but I believe that the majority of users on "normal" dating sites are looking for single, long-term partners. As I understand, within the BDSM scene there are several websites including social networking sites and dedicated match making sites catering to the specifics of BDSM. I find it unlikely you'd use a "normal" dating site when you likely have pretty specific interests that likely (?) need specific UI/UX to cater to.

Just sort of overall, when your interest is in building a network, finding people to have casual sex/encounters with, a "stream of people to meet" as someone mentioned below, I think you'd want a different website/UI than these big dating sites seem to offer/encourage. That said, I've never used them, just speculating based on the ads I've seen over the years and how they paint themselves.

I can't help but wonder how the American political system would look if an amendment passed which gave the individual states the ability to decide for themselves:

1. What constitutes a well regulated militia

2. Whether certain drugs should be legal to consume

3. At what stage of development human life begins

Moreover, I can't help wondering how popular such an amendment would be with voters, and with the two main parties.
Great question!

The penalties for being offline are equal to the rewards you would have earned. It is okay to be offline if you have minor outage for few hours or if you're moving and will be offline for a few days. You simply would need to go back online for the same amount of time to make your rewards back.

This is a good time to mention a Python experiment [1] that "covers up" Python 3.x's coloured asyncio with a synchronous wrapper that makes it more user-friendly. It's been posted here before [2]. I've pushed ahead with it professionally, and I think it's actually held up much better than I expected.

This idiom worked well in Python 2.x with Tornado. Python 3's batteries-included async unfortunately broke it partway (event loops are not reentrant [3], deliberately). However, in this Rust post's "turn-that-frown-upside-down" spirit, the Python 3.x port of tworoutines enforces a more deliberate coding style since it doesn't allow you to remain ignorant of asynchronous calls within an asynchronous context. This (arguably) mandates better code.

I don't claim Python is superior to Rust, or that hiding red/blue functions is a great idea everywhere. I did want to point out that dynamic languages allow some interesting alternatives to compiled languages. This is worth musing over here because of the author's stated bias for compiled languages (I think I agree), and his claim that red/blue unification would only be enabled by sophisticated compilers (not necessarily).

If it was “you must have a Netflix button and no others” I could see the argument but the demand for a particular user experience isn’t anticompetitive automatically.

Nice. When I bought my iPhone 12 Mini this was a feature I specifically wanted. I saw them mentioning it was a software issue only, so it's great to see they solved it and followed through.
People have gotten poorer in the last 40 years in the US. Quality of everything has gone down, the most expensive things in life (housing, health care, transportation) have all gotten more expensive in comparison to incomes and more difficult.

People want to take lucrative risks, but they don't have the money to do it right, and the opportunities just aren't out there. It's not that people need to move more or take more risks, it's that there is demonstrably less opportunity out there today because our governments are corrupt and have destroyed the economy.

What does the process for staking actually look like? I remember setting up lightning a bunch of years ago and ended up losing some fractions of BTC by messing things up along the way.

Is there something foolproof for staking right now, or is it a lot of "git clone this repo, copy this address to a config file" etc.

80% of the species was gone, but that's doesn't mean 80% of the genetic distance from species to species was wiped out.

You could cull from all the branches of the tree of life evenly and keep wild genetic diversity vs killing off everything except for certain plants and bacteria.

The genetic diversity of a new continent would be highly dependent on the founder. If the founder has near perfect genetic replication and long lifespans measured by the century, the genetic diversity will be less than if you drop something that divides every half hour into a virgin pond.

You're also using extinction events on earth as a anchor point for the discussion where the entire point of the article is that our starting conditions as a civilization are not directly transferrable to considering other alien life.

Fair enough - I agree that the sentiment towards certain topics has changed over the years.
Looks like Match Group owns Tinder, Hinge, OKCupid, Plenty of Fish (which is awful), as well as Match.com and a bunch I've never heard of.

Coffee Meets Bagel is independent and venture funded, though I did not find it to be a great app.

Grinder is also not owned by Match Group, but obviously that's not for most people.

There's also Feeld, which is independently owned, but mostly for couples, threesomes, kinky stuff etc.

I'd say Bumble is probably the best app out there not owned by Match Group.

And since the country of origin was mentioned, I'd add that when I was in Latin American I used Happn (very cool location-based app, independently owned) and Badoo (not bad, owned by Bumble).

So overall, I would say we're not in the dystopian phase of dating quite yet!

When your "culture and identity" is based on relying on blatant disinformation, whether it is that the earth is flat, the govt is poisoning you with chemtrails, or NASA is fake, that is already getting corrossive to society.

When it extends to anti-vaccine disinformation, it is an active threat not only to public health but national security. Many of these types of disinformation are actively weaponized and spread by adversaries.

It is right to threat those kinds of threats to the society and nation as we would treat any physical threat -- actively work to neutralize it.

Just because war is moving out of the physical and into the information sphere, does not make it less serious.
