The ER vs LR thing is easy to explain. The most realistic Boeing 777 simulation addon available for Microsoft FS at the time included only 200LR and 300ER models, so using 200LR would have been pretty much the closest option to 200ER available with all the systems modelled in high detail.

Besides, the two aircraft don't have that much of a difference in fuel burn. A professional 777 captain could certainly figure out how far the fuel on 200ER could get him.

Of course the FS data doesn't prove anything, but I can't see how the aircraft could have ended up where it ended without any input from either pilot. If both pilots died you would certainly expect a more straight flight-path.
Yeah at the same time there's an easy way of complying with the GDPR: don't gather data you don't need.

But this is not a case of the account staying locked and Signal being left with no recourse but to assume the worst (a reasonable approach to megacorps).

At least, according to Facebook, it was only locked for a few days and at no time after clearing up the payment issue did Signal actually setup and attempt to schedule the ads to run.

Well, according to Facebook. Whose logging could be wrong for all we know.

> The problem is that this is sort of what happens right now, and it's not great. The current funding scheme relies disproportionately on local property taxes, which only serves to exacerbate the effects of inequality. The current system is a warehouse for student bodies, with oversize classes, underfunded supplies, underpaid teachers, and too many unfunded mandates.

I've actually ranted about this cause/effect before. I think it's particularly bad here in California given the wide variety of income levels in the state.

> Seriously, it's just a fact that high achievers learn much better when they are left to (roughly) their own devices, with guidance and outlines for progress as appropriate. Low achievers learn better when they are led through the process by someone who can put the language in terms they can understand; ideally with support outside of the teacher, such as from peers (look up supplemental instruction for a model in there). Middle achievers will consistently live up to the exact expectation you place on them; so they need a system and environment that places increasingly more strenuous expectations on them, both socially and educationally.

I think that's all true but it doesn't account for something that I think is a noble goal with somewhat bad implications:
I think we want to maximize the progress and achievement of the top achievers. People seem to want 100 doctors/scientists instead of 10,000 accountants.

Too bad Basecamp just ruined that discussion.

I'm going to assume you mean owes you a supportive, caring, platonic relationship. Eg, two married people support one another to their mutual benefit. I'm going to assume you don't mean to imply your spouse owes you sex.
In this scenario you can see on the screenshots posted by Signal that it looks to be related to a payment dispute or account balance problem. Its also silly given that it says there are no rejected ads, yet Signal said the ads were rejected.

It's one thing to not know why your account is suddenly disabled, but it's another to attribute that to Facebook simply not liking the campaign you wanted to run. Perhaps if Signal followed up and were provided with concrete evidence that it was due to the campaign being taken down, then it would bolster their story.

The problem is that plenty of news articles have already reported on Facebook banning the account due to the campaign. So it seems like Signal have got what they wanted, however from my point of view this is a scummy move by Signal and makes them seem more nefarious rather than open and transparent.

IDK why you think im drawing the line at frameworks? I'm just highlighting it in this situation. I cant rant about everything negative thing corporations do, Ill never be done. But those examples aren't remotely the same. Intel and AMD is a healthy rivalry to have, for awhile AMD wasn't even competitive. Those companies arent trying to reach into every segment of the world. Cable company monopolies have been beat to death, and are an obvious problem so Im unsure why your even bringing it up? But comcast isn't even comparable to the reach google or facebook has. Something like 1/3 of the world in on facebook, you really want to compare that to American cable companies?

> Is there seriously no way in AWS/Azure/GCP to specify "Here's my budget, shut everything down if I exceed $X"?

All of them have billing APIs which should, in principal, allow you to build “Shutdown everything at some indefinite time interval (and additional spend) after I exceed $X”, though you’ll need to do nontrivial custom coding to tie together the various pieces to do it, and actually stopping all spend is likely going to mean nuking storage, not just halting “active” services.

None of them provide anyway to more than probabilistically do “Shut everything down before I exceed, and in a way which prevents exceeding, $X.”

You've hit the nail on the head: the early Word2Vec models treat everything as a word, but words are polysemous and fluid. Mutual information is useful for discovering n-grams that can be informatively mapped to the same vector space as component 1-grams. (In fact, converting adjacent words with high pointwise mutual information such as "New" and "Zealand" to "New_Zealand" is an important preprocessing step noted by Mikolov, et al).

More recent vector embeddings (e.g., BERT, ELMO) are harder to conceptualize neatly because one of the layers of the Neural Network includes a token's indexical position in the document.
Disclosure: I worked at FB, but my only exposure to ads was in an advisory role on an ads product that as far as i know hasn't launched and doesn't seem to be launching soon and my advice wasn't taken anyway.

Looking at the big modal style box in the middle of the screenshot it says:

"Ad Account Disabled

This ad account, its ads and some of its advertising assets are disabled. You can't use it to run ads." And there's a see details button.

Maybe the see details indicates a fixable problem, and some of the text behind seems to maybe indicate a fixable payment problem, but it's not clear at all from the text of the big box that the problem is fixable. It seems perfectly reasonable to me that when Facebook says you can't use this account to run ads, it means you can't use that account to run ads, end of story. There's not a call to action to contact customer support or fix the payment or anything, just disabled, you can't run ads.

I thought I was just to incompetent to figure out how to stop an instance…so I just gave up while watching my creditcard getting billed for about €20 each month..
Last month I went full on and spent a few hours removing everything on every screen I could find.
After many hours of failing to remove an instance because you have to stop a thingie from auto starting on another screen first…and another thingie from running there.
I finally managed to remove all the instances…

Then two months later, I still get a bill for a few €…

I give up.

Maybe humans need a little bit of everything? Short working hours interspersed with a few longer days, focusing on some days, and intense multitasking and coordination on others?

So if you're life currently involves only long days filled with multitasking (probably very common in some walks of life) the solution involves shorter days and more focused time, whereas for others it might be the other way around.

Whatever the truth is, I highly doubt humans are optimised specifically for exactly eight (or six) hours of focused work every day. I suspect we are helped by some variation, including the occasional 14 hour multitasking day.
People need to focus on solving business problem first. "memory layout" and "cache usage" should be abstracted with premade data structures and algorithms into a library. You could then use "CacheFriendlyHashMap" class as a drop in. Does such library already exist for any language ?

The problem is only partially "know how much you're spending on services".

There's a big problem of: There's a huge amount of AWS that even if you configure it "right" - still leaves you with potentially unlimited liability.

Take a simple example of using Cloudfront and S3 together to host a basic website. There's a good well documented way of securing this all "right".

However that doesn't protect you from "slashdotting" - perhaps you put an image on your site and it gets linked from the frontpage of Reddit.

You go from paying a few $/month, to suddenly overnight having potentially hundreds or thousands of dollars of spend because tens of millions of people have viewed your image.

AWS Billing alerts are not going to save you, because once they (eventually, maybe a day or so late) fire, and assuming you immediately see that notification, figure out what it is being accessed, and remove that file (or just turn off the bucket/cloudfront entirely) - the bills could have gone way up.

It gets worse when you're talking about other AWS services.

The whole point being that billing caps, along with billing alerts that are actually timely, are actually necessary.

You shouldn't have to depend on the grace of AWS Customer Service to not force you to decide whether to pay rent, eat, or your massive credit card bill.

> Realistically though, if you can't afford $20, how on earth did you afford a credit card to sign up for AWS in the first place?

The example was $200. And for a lot of people, particularly students and other people new to development - $200 can be a large chunk of money.

Part of the problem is that you go to AWS Conferences and talks, and they talk about how there's all this amazing stuff, and encourage people to sign up and try it out.

What they never do is tell you "Oh, by the way, this demo costs $x/hour". I'd love to see some kind of taxi-meter style box behind the presenter/in the corner of webcasts showing how much the AWS Bill would be for the demo.

Not op, but yes. It is not just difference in genre. The books that appeared to me as awesome when I was younger are completely uninteresting now. I try to read and switch into twitter within three pages.

But, once in a while I run into completely different book and cant stop reading it. Books that I would find boring back then I think. Like you, I read way more well-written history now, but there is also occasional fiction.

I think that the big difference is that once you are well into adulthood, it is much harder to come across book recommendation that suits you. The market is dominated by youth needs I guess.

No it doesn't actually. The a banks electronic clearinghouse and transaction processing system can handle potentially billions of transaction per second. No cryptoshenanigans required aside from that required to secure data at rest.

You're making a claim that something predicated on everyone wasting tons of power to do hashing that just gets thrown away when the first person nails it and starts propagating, and all of that per 100 or so transactions, with at max maybe two to three dozen servers per bank, with full capability to reverse, adjust, reconcile, chargeback, so on, and so forth.

So no.

No, they won't shut down traditional financial processing. They don't need to.
I think as musical training increases, the amount of energy required for specific kinds of bimanual motor coordination tasks decreases, see Haslinger, 2004 [0]. Regardless, looking at the literature, logitudinal studies seem to indicate that playing polyphonic music seems to improve brain plasticity rather than cause damage. Maybe the damage is more related to the context switching aspect of multitasking.

From looking at the screenshot behind the dialogue box there is a link to "verify the account", which looks to me like an initial fix.

My point being that being told that I cannot run ads, doesn't mean that Facebook doesn't like my ad campaign. There are many reasons I would think why an ad account is disabled, to simply assume this was because FB didn't like your campaign despite having no rejected ads doesn't seem very smart and is a big call. If Signal had followed through to try resolve the problem and had actual evidence that it was due to the nature of the campaign, then they should be showing that, not conjecture.

Which is?

> incels were not created created because women have agency in who they date

Did you not look at the evidence? Online dating is already the primary means of forming relationships. There's data showing women reject over 80% of men they see on dating apps. They actively choose to compete over the other 20%. They'd rather share a top 20% man than settle with a bottom 80% man.

How is this supposed to not create a class of universally rejected men?

> Bring solutions to the table if you think there is a problem.

Why bother? I doubt you'd consider any real solution since they would naturally result in disadvantages for women in favor of men and would therefore be "toxic nonsense".
Some people will never be happy, but will happily tear everyone down. They will never mature to grow out of resentment and forgive.

It's way harder though as long as injustice is perpetuated.

So it's nuanced.
The town itself is called Baarle, the Dutch part is part of a municipality called Baarle-Nassau (a little under 7000 inhabitants) and the Belgian part is part of a municipality called Baarle-Hertog (a little under 3000 inhabitants). Both municipalities also contain some smaller villages, which do not have the same border situation going on - that is entirely in the town of Baarle.
I fear this will be another unladen swallow, it is not for lack of trying, rather the resistance to change.
> If you create net new demand then fill it with renewables you haven't reduced emissions at all because the coal plants are still running.

There is a non-zero possibility that the public's perception of coal power plants being associated with Bitcoin mining increases to a point where the support to ban coal power plants reaches an actionable threshold. Consider who benefits from delivering a setback to Bitcoin and see if they enter the arena of public opinion on this issue.
Ok, so if Signal was banned for different reasons and facebook claims the ad campaign wasn't the problem... it means that Signal can create another account and run the same campaign again, Facebook shouldn't block them for that in the future. Let's see what happens.
