"The actual number of unarmed black men shot dead by American police in 2019 is thirteen."

I think you mean, the reported number of unarmed black men shot dead by American police in 2019 is thirteen. (But surely we've learned that police reports are not necessarily completely accurate.) And I think that some people believe that a suspect's being armed is not justification for summary execution, barring extraordinary circumstances, so in their minds the caveat of "unarmed" is a distinction without a difference. Therefore they might be more concerned with the total reported number of black persons shot dead by American police, which is 235.

As long as we're on that subject, here's an interesting (albeit somewhat misleading) fact I discovered that I haven't seen cited anywhere else. While 235 fatal shootings by officers doesn't seem like a huge number compared with the total population, consider that there were about 697,195 police officers in the US in 2019, meaning that each officer had a 1/2967 chance of killing a black person that year. Contrast that with the oft-cited black-on-black murder rate: 7484 blacks were murdered in 2019. Let's (erroneously) assume that every single one was killed by a black male. The total black population in 2019 was 46.8 million, 48% of them male which comes to 22.4 million black males. So the chances of a black male murdering another black person is only 1/2933. That's right, a random police officer is very slightly more likely to have killed a black person than a random black male is likely to have killed a black person.

So if it's true that blacks ought to fear other black males, then the fear that some black people have of police officers as a class might be correspondingly justified.
of course (it's a single fully-connected layer, aka a linear map), but more interestingly, the FFT algorithm can be implemented as a very sparse network of logarithmic depth.
This. And ocean is really scarce.
Are you an art collector? Because I'm getting real tired of criticisms of NFTs that actually apply quite generally to the entire art collection space.

I am not an art collector, but as I understand it, the most important thing that they care about, even before aesthetics of an art piece, is *provenance*. That is, who created it, and who has owned it since it was created. NFTs provide a nearly unforgeable cryptographic record of both of those things, and are therefore a perfect fit for this market.
I've always wanted to see someone challenge the EULA concept in court by saying "Mr. Gates, can Microsoft name all the people it has 'license agreements' with? Do you know for example weather you have licensed software to Judge so-and-so here?"

I personally reject the license and install anyway. The only thing that says I can't do that is the license, so if I don't agree with it, then it doesn't apply. Right? No actually I've stopped doing that and switched to Free Software completely - no restrictions imposed by the ELUA there.
This is why employers want to survey applicants' social media posts, to filter out those with activist views like this.
> I have a few (really lovely) conservative friends who have expressed to me that they feel they can't express their political opinions outside of close friends and family because of the social risks involved with doing so.

When I read things like this, I think back to [this tweet](https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/105039166355267174...). What innocuous issues exactly are conservatives receiving so much backlash on? Most often I see this sentiment from people who just want to say how they really feel about immigrants and "PC culture" is ruining everything for them.

Isn't "backpropagation" just a synonym for the partial derivative of the scalar cost function with respect to the weights? And in the mathematical formulation of biological neural networks these derivatives can't be computed analytically. Your comment sounds like "backpropagation" is some kind of natural phenomenon.

Without looking too deep at the list of positions, it doesn't seem unreasonable. They're in a market where they have web and app presence, have to deal with international recurring payments and deposits, have to deal with global support and disputes, likely need a decent fraud team since they accept tiny payments, need to handle abuse and scams, etc. These roles add up quickly.

Gabriel Dance makes the argument much better than I could; I won't attempt it. He spent years investigating, actually doing things such as interviewing paedophiles, asking them 'why'. I don't have reason to doubt his conclusions.

But what is clearly new is that now people are encouraged to abuse children because they can take a video, share it, sell it, gloat about it, trade it to get access to more material.

Additionally, sharing imagery of abuse further harms the victims. For example, in that podcast it was mentioned that some victims receive a notification every time images of their abuse come up in a court case!
I watched Ayn Rand interviewed by Donahue in 1979 recently. I was shocked that this was daytime TV 40 years ago.

No, because companies have absolutely 0 incentive to stand by you if doing so becomes difficult. They are amoral, when they throw you under the bus it's like a lion killing a gazelle. Just something they do. You should not ever trust any company in any way.
Pubic culture? Should that be flagged?
I'm sorry but that is totally not what I'm asking about.

I'm asking about the artificial HARDCODED limit despite the size of kernel or modules.
This is hardcoded at boot process - no matter how big or small your kernel is.

For example my 1.1 bare-bones uncompressed kernel [just basic modules] can work at 2MB of RAM, at size of ~700kb.

Almost the same uncompressed bare-bone kernel [just basic modules] from let's say 2.4 line requires 4MB of RAM - despite very similar size (~780kb).

My question is:

- Why there is such artificial and hard-coded limit in kernel source code?

- Why it was changed from 2MB to 4MB?

- Is it possible to change it back? In kernel source this is literally just simple "if ram < 4MB then error" - without any real kernel size check.
I've come to internalize the Fourier transform as a type of sparse matrix algorithm. I.e. something that implements a particular matrix-vector product without requiring explicit construction of said matrix.
This was 13 years ago, so the political situation may have changed. But this guy was very much operating in the open, and definitely breaking all kinds of laws. He’d been doing it for more than a decade, and no jail time yet.

He did also finance construction of an elementary school and some other community improvement stuff. He didn’t explicitly talk about bribes, but I’m sure he was paying people off. At least at the time he seemed to have figured out a way to avoid the law. But maybe corruption is down and it finally caught up with him - I’m definitely out of date here.
Companion plants work for a variety of reasons. For example, in addition to triggering defense responses, mint also repels certain animals that might eat nearby plants. Chives and garlic can work the same way. In some cases a companion plant's flowers attract predators of a troublesome pest.

The immune response angle is neat though.
I think I meant as bonuses for employees. I am sorry for the confusion.

The automatic approval law is incredibly stupid. Your timeout mode shouldn’t be to automatically approve medicines when the regulator takes over a month to issue a decision.

Thanks for the context, this is probably a large part of the decision. Not enough time for due diligence, and the only option to prevent automatic release of a potentially problematic medicine is outright rejection.
I mentioned it elsewhere but it is worth repeating: I am not easily impressed by modern software, but Factorio impressed me with its quality.
It can come from cognitive dissonance and ignorance, refusing to concede a point that has been logically refuted. Maintaining a position and then launching a personal attack if the position is threatened.
That's a fair point. My assumption was that the neural network isn't going to be as efficient at the FFT but the article doesn't include that type of assessment.

This is basically my point. If you have a srated goal of getting to 1.00 v 1.00 with that metric and focus on the individuals in the same jobs, then you will never get there. It's a mismatch between policy and intent. Using the goal post analogy, there taking their shots at the sideline without realizing where the goal really is. The posts haven't moved, they just see a mirage in another place.

"...points to a theory that societal norms serve to re-enforce the expectation of taking jobs in lower paying fields on women versus men."

I do disagree a little with this part. I know that might be true in some cases, but I think a lot of it is by choice too. My wife could have worked at a regular job and made more money, but she likes her flexible hours and her fun job more. In fact, her hourly rate is more than mine, but she just works fewer hours. So she has the opportunity to make more than me, but chooses not to. It makes sense. If I could work less and have less stress, more fun, and the same benefits or living conditions...

I remember a study about African American college grads and aggregate pay being lower than other groups. The analysis showed that the main part of that was because they were choosing jobs based on societal benefit rather than just pay. Things like social workers, teachers, etc. I believe the BLS study showed some of that to be true for the gender wage gap too. Basically, I'm saying that it's not like people are being forced into or away from specific jobs as the main driver.
The rise of the zero trust paradigm in corporate networks probably.
North American techno fan for almost 30 years here.

Europe had an _audience_ for techno, yes but also an audience for some of the cheesiest garbage dance music on the planet.

Don't lecture us -- Detroit and Chicago are the heart and soul of techno & house, even if the artists from there weren't always appreciated at home.

Europe has been exporting its garbage trance and progressive crap since the late 80s. Soul driven techno from African-American artists had a way of being exported over to Europe, absorbed by the locals, and shipped back as soulless amphetamine driven crap.

Electronic music in Europe has always been a huge industry, and some amazing music made... but as a % of product produced/consumed.. only a small amount of it was good (which amounted to a lot of excellent records in an absolute ocean of other junk.)

Back in the day there was an amazing amount of quality underground music coming out of Chicago, New York, Detroit / Windsor, and smaller centres in the midwest, too. Great stuff even from here in Toronto. The west coast was an entirely other story, mostly dominated by "funky breaks" and trance and stuff I didn't like.

Also I can't tell from your tone if the YouTube video you posted is made to be made fun of, or enjoyed? Because to me it's clearly the former. The kind of shit that teenage kids at raves back in the 90s would take meth to and grind their teeth and we'd just gag at.

Yes, we had all that crap here back in the mid-90s. Huge raves, mostly crap. EDM is just what the next generation called it, and I guess maybe it had a broader audience.

That's true, but what's in it for Fortnite? That skin only really has value while the lights are on. I suppose it would have a "proof of purchase" appeal after the fact where the totally useless item can keep getting traded even after the servers are shut, but unless that proves to be of great monetary value I don't know why Epic would care.
I am not familiar with indian politics, but it's really obvious that this article is written as an accusatory political slam more than an article concerned with covid. In my experience, there is probably another side to the story when that happens.
Yes I had the same feeling, although in Civilization there were at least discrete turns. Each one presents a logical stopping point. Factorio just keeps going, there is never a logical stopping point because there is always a resource bottleneck to solve. I remember staying up late for Civ, but I never (almost) completely skipped sleep all together & blew off other commitments.
> If the guy was simply a better date we wouldn't be talking about this.

This is what makes me really dislike this story.

The use of power to extort sexual favors is topic that needs serious discussion. But occurrences like these where there is so much gray just waters down the conversation to "She said, he said".

So much in her post just insinuates that is wasn't his behavior at the time she was having problems with but his later actions towards her. Nothing in this accounting is about power dynamics. It is about shitty behavior by a stupid guy.

> I did not blame him for what happened, and didn’t think those behaviors were problematic at the time, because it didn’t even cross my mind that he would do anything that I wasn’t comfortable with.

Stuff like that doesn't really help. So - she was okay with it until she wasn't anymore?

This just sucks.

It took me a couple of tries to actually enjoy the game. My first try of the demo I was turned off, at the time it just felt like work. I decided to give it another go, because I wanted something to play and everyone raved about it, so I thought I'd persist a little longer to see what the hubbub was all about.

Everyone says the game is addicting, but I merely find it simply "fun." Maybe the current quality of video games is so poor that anything that actually engages you for a few hours is declared addicting, but I find that a sad state of affairs. Then again, the norm for major publishers seems to be hype up a game, then sell an incomplete piece of software to kids who don't know any better. Providing demos of software is passé.

If people aren't designing video games that I can actually be engaged with for a few hours at a time, what's the point? Do not Monopoly players who actually enjoy the game, poker players, or chess players do the same?

Why do we not call Minecraft, "Crackcraft?" It's almost certainly played more, and plays basically identically in sandbox nature to me as Factorio: you build things, and you enjoy doing it.
Thats never been my experience, but I really only have my own to go on.

However, in the early days of Google Maps, when MapQuest was still around and before cars had in-dash navigation, Google Maps did give me bad directions for driving, that I had printed out, and made me late. I still ended up using Google Maps, and they got better.

I will still use Google Maps to discover biking routes in unfamiliar areas, so I do give up my location to them occasionally, but in my experience that's the only edge that Google Maps has these days.

> Why do you think remote work is only feasible during a pandemic?

Remote work was feasible in part during a pandemic because it had to be. When everyone is 100% remote, things aren’t bad. If companies don’t do anything to preserve that culture from during pandemic times, when folks start returning to the office again, remote work will very likely go back to sucking. Being remote you’ll very likely be the odd person out on meetings desperately trying to hear what was said and/or struggle to get a word in with everyone else jammed in a conference room.
Yes indeed. I actually went looking for it to post here and remembered it was a flash blob, and wondered whether it still existed? I didn't remember who posted it or where, just what it looked like back in the day. Glad you mentioned it otherwise I might still be looking.

I think there's a fallacy. It's like people that get into chess for the sake of becoming better at logic. Which is good for a while until it becomes a problem of pure memorization. Or people that spend their time playing poker in order to get better with probabilities and statistics instead of going through a textbook with pen & paper. Factorio is a very good game, I've enjoyed it for a while, but it's not a replacement to solving coding problems.

> Extremely high profit margins (>55%) could trigger a negative reaction, although this was not tested. Likewise, suspiciously low margins (e.g. negative or very low) could negatively impact the effect of trust that drives increased sales.
I think you have a misconception here about what freedom is. A freedom is a restriction on the state. It simply says that the state cannot act against you for exercising a freedom, or act to prevent you from doing so. Repercussions, consequences, or retaliations are completely unrelated so long as they are not state-sponsored.

With this in mind, "I do not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it", and "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences", are totally compatible. You can both fight for a restriction on state power, and have a personal reaction to what somebody has said.
The mutual obligation requirement in Australia might not be the best example, with at least 2 issues:

1. It's, in part, a thinly veiled program to transfer public money into the pockets of privately owned "Employment Service Providers"

2. It's offloading the "checking" to other private companies by way of requiring people to apply for a certain number of jobs. Any jobs. Maybe the same jobs you've been rejected for again and again so many times that HR recognizes your identical cover letters coming in every month.

3. Might be an extension of 1, but Employment Service Providers (private, for-profit companies) have the ability to report you to the government and get your payment cancelled for missing certain appointments, with little oversight and no repercussions for errors.
Offices and hotels far more empty square footage
Not at all. There isn’t much second or even third order thinking around these issues and the precedents set to retail as a whole. It's clear to anyone that looks at this on merit as to what Epic are trying to do and, much like Facebook, they just don’t care about the consumer or the little man, despite what they say. Quite the contrary, it’s all about the bottom line.

A lot of discussion has gone into what the 30% covers - it is arguably too high. At the same time, it would be interesting to see what Epic sees as the cost impact of hosting and distribution along with the cost of data security and what protection for their customers privacy they will put in place, were they permitted to have their own store.
Something that wasn't mentioned in the video (or did I miss it?) is whether people were offered a choice. As far as I can tell we don't know if it was an immediate firing of 36 people, or for example 36 out of 50 people preferred the exit package rather than a move to a new team doing X.
This is an extremely biased assessment. The GOP tried to ban municipal broadband providers IF they established a state owned/run monopoly and prevented private companies from competing in the market.

That is not "blatantly corrupt". In fact, closing a market to the public companies and forcing everyone to use a city-run broadband is a lot more concerning.

How do you even know how to avoid that that first dollar? I can imagine a lot of slippery slopes that start without any significant greed or malice.

But moralizing his intent misses the point. Laws and law enforcement is a tax-funded service we pay to protect us from other people that would do us harm. If people understood and believed in that, they would never help someone trying to evade the law. Without that trust, it’s so easy for violent criminals to find unwitting aid from those that are trying to protect themselves (security), or want to be left alone (privacy).

Side note: There are extremely strong laws against refusing business to a customer. You can’t have it both ways.
