iOS 14 tracking changes sees big ad spending drop, tumbling prices
Yes, I'm aware of that, but that's search on iOS, nothing to do with Google Maps, which I'd say is a much much much smaller problem on iOS compared to Android, and getting more and more irrelevant as Apple Maps gets better. There's is a very large number of Android phones though, many of which at least historically have been advertised to include these Google services. Hence the "in a way" – whether or not there is money flowing into Google Maps directly or indirectly from that purchase, buyers of such phones pay for a device with that service. If that service isn't there, I can return it in most jurisdictions. I'm sure a large part of such users would have the expectation of not being producticized by that service on a phone they paid for, and I doubt anyone cares how exactly Google shuffles money around to make that happen.
One big issue with all those NN-generated texts, be it GPT3 or this, is that it's just a collection of seemingly random words.

I think that the issue lies in that we approach content generation in the wrong way: a sequence that goes from start to end in one go. The idea is at the start and by the end of the sequence, the model had moved far away from the original idea. We humans, start with one or a couple of ideas and we iterate over them many times and then expand them in all directions. If only a model could do that.
.. that should be discussed by whom, exactly? That article had not seen but three edits in the last five years. You are implying that the self-appointed gatekeepers need to review it.. you are describing the gatekeeping literally right now.

That's not for everyone. I tried it for many months, and it made my condition worse and worse. Expensive appliance molded by my dentist, he even re molded when I complained it rocked a little, and then again gave me a different tech.

All for nothing. Splint, or mouth guard in North America, caused me to develop daytime bruxism and it moved my teeth in such a way that my back teeth didn't touch firmly, which my brain wanted to resolve by biting harder.

If it's my enamel or my TMJ, I guess I picked my TMJ. Grinding with the splint made my jaw hurt more.
Yeah, co-op games really need some hidden information (or something) to make it interesting. Another common fix is to have a traitor, but I feel that undermines the co-opness.

Germany should cancel Nord Stream 2. Shot across the bow of Gazprom and Russia.
I think what most warrants critique is the fact that despite a century of alleged awareness, no extant economic policy even begins to address the problem in its full scope

We've been saying "in practice governments must impose reasonable frictions" since the 1970s at least, with the reentry of ecological concerns into public consciousness in the west, and still we've barely begun

We barrel down this road under the guidance of a great many economists for a hundred years or more despite our "understanding" this genuinely hard problem? Are we mad? Suicidal?

It looks like a useful service but in case you didn't know: you can do this locally on macOS using Preview. Click on Tools->Annotate->Signature and add your own signature. You can even write it down on paper, put in front of webcam and it will recognise it and turn it to black & white. Very useful for filling out different forms.
Could you please point out the advantages over markdown(for dummies). Or give a use case where jotdown makes/will make a better job?

I only use markdown for some notes and sometimes mdbook. Maybe I don't use markdown often enough to get. I even read the "why?" on you page, but still... I don't get it.

Sorry, I feel a bit like a troll. You put quite some work into it as far as I can see and I really would like to understand the use case/advantages.
Newegg screwed me over on a monitor too. I think they're one of those brands that used to be good but has started trading that goodwill for increased profit.
This title does not make sense.
This is how BCC works!!!

BCC = Blind Carbon Copy = you don't see that you (or another BCC recipient) is a recipent. Your address is not written on the letter, only on the envelope (ie. given to the MTA).

The system should have separate mechanisms for the 2 things: letting you update, and executing after you're dead.

Executing after you're dead only happens once, so it can be heavyweight.

Updating should be as lightweight as possible. One reason it's heavyweight in the current system is that, after you're dead, people who didn't get what they think they deserve can sue your estate. Often the argument is that you were under someone's influence when you updated your will. Having your estate lawyer say, "Mr. Disruptthelaw came into my office on ___ date and we discussed this amendment. He appeared to be of sound mind" is fairly persuasive to a judge. But a late-night edit to some database, even if it's on the blockchain signed with your private key, might be less convincing.

The usual way to work around the difficulty of amending a will is for the will to say "Everything in the Disruptthelaw Recovable Living Trust is goes to ___". You can move assets into and out of the trust easily.
FWIW, I agree with you but think it’s also important to recognize the devils advocate position.

>I'm perfectly capable of deciding for myself

I think there’s a decent amount of evidence that humans aren’t as capable of making rational decisions, or at least not nearly as rational as we’d like to think. In the context of systems like nationalized healthcare, this can become a negative externality. If I’m responsible (in part) of paying for your healthcare, there may be an argument that I (in part) have a say in the decisions you make that effect your health.
> Also, GraphQL is not a replacement for REST... I am not sure why people keep making this equivalency.

GraphQL is arguably consistent with actual REST, but its a replacement for trivial JSON CRUD over HTTP, which is one of the common abuses of the term “REST”.
You're not sending money. You're sending tokens. People who say that they are sending money "on the blockchain" are being disingenuous.

You have to account for transaction fees into cryptocurrency, the blockchain transaction fee itself, and the conversion into the target local currency.

You left 2/3rds of that process out, conveniently.

Yes, latency. I joined some of the same people later in a spawned-off company that created a similar concept called The Nelly Nut Show (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0346350/). We had serious issues selling to the US because there was a required delay of 7 seconds on live shows so that any cursing could be bleeped out. Silly Americans :-D

First of all, I do not see any indication that Russia or Belarus tries to get closer to the EU, rather the opposite. And this kind of blocking policy increases the separation.
Also, it takes really a lot to have the EU make any decision within short notice, but Lukashenko definitely managed.
So much for the writer's strike.
Just to be pedantic, the Taylor series definition of the exponential converges absolutely, hence we can reorder the terms by odd/even powers without changing the sum.
I find this comment quite insightful.

‘Addiction’ is a complicated and loaded term, which may or may not be helpful. Sometimes, it’s more question of examining one’s life and making the very difficult choices necessary to be happy in the long run.

It’s also an insightful point that, when ‘addicted’, normal or moderate behaviors can start to feel meaningless - as if they would lead to an intolerably dry life. Trusting this will not be the case is important when making a change.

Or is it in fact the original meaning? (Genuinely curious)
I disagree that it's "just talking trash". Sure, I agree the tone of the article is overly harsh on the gcc-rs project, but it does raise some solid points that, for the stated goals of the project, the approach appear suboptimal.

Every time gcc-rs comes up, the discussion always devolves to a "but there's rustc_codegen_gcc, why bother rewriting the language in C++", and I have yet to see a compelling argument why GCC-RS is indeed a superior solution, despite the many downsides.

I think the answer is that it isn't necessarily a better solution, but the people with the necessary knowledge to make a gcc frontend or backend happen tend to be more familiar with C++, and so GCC-rs is actually the path of least resistance?
I think it is an 'operative definition of addiction'.

Words are what we choose them to mean. When I spend hours in front of screens, I don't feel like I have made the best use of my time and I feel like I have been somewhat manipulated in those actions. It does feel like nothing. To me its a negative feeling. 'Addiction' encompasses that mixed feeling, where on reflection I seem to have acted against my own interests.

I'm not even keen on trying to find another word for this - I actually want the negativity associated with a term like 'addiction'. I'm not a masochist, but I don't want to start justifying what seems like bad behaviour as if it was a good thing.
It's not just you - the new title makes no sense at all to me either. It reads as a jumbled collection of random words :/
People shouldn't have to misspell their names because the software sucks.
Check out Aave: its a lending protocol carrying $20B in assets on smart contracts. It works great! https://aave.com/

Or https://compound.finance/ also a great project.

Ethereum's gas fees have nothing to do with the price of the base asset: it has to do with limited block size availability. When the network is congested, block size is limited and this causes transactions to be bid up in an auction format to get in first.

This is one of the costs of decentralization. However, recent advances in Zero Knowledge Proof cryptography has paved a path for Ethereum to take to get to VISA scale and beyond and be able to process 200K transactions per second (at pennies or less per tx): see https://zksync.io/ and https://starkware.co/.

Same as calling some a cunt imho. The parts of scotland i grew up in it basically means "person".

And if i use it at work like this people know i am not meaning it the qymay it sounds but they still correct me.

That discuasion leads me to have better more productive language in the future. If i cannot handle some constructive criticism thats on me.

I know it can be hard for people who are very normalised to a certain way of speaking.. but thems the breaks. Better than actually being paralysed imho.. plus if i come up with another term for this i can use it with an audience that actually includes paralised people and the reference will still make sense.

No body expects perfect. I still swear too much at work and i still accidentally throw in metaphorical adjectives that belong in the past. But i am better at it than my grandpa (not that i ever heard him say cunt :) )
My concern with Invisalign is you have to wear a nighttime retainer for life. I had a bad experience with stuff in my mouth at night, which made bruxism worse when it was supposed to be better. When my brain feels something in the mouth on the teeth, it induces the jaw to bite more when I'm sleeping.
I'm starting to wonder why Belarus didn't just shoot that plane down and blame Russian tourists or something. Would have probably caused less trouble.
They shouldn't pay less than market. But they shouldn't locate themselves in the most expensive market that exists.
I imagine these algorithm writing tools (GPT, etc) are going to be adopted by writers the same way autotune has been embraced by the music industry. When used in moderation it can help give originality to the final work. When overused it will sound like a parody.

If you have to build it on each machine, I would not consider that easily/universally distributable. One of the key points of Docker is you can build once (in your CI or someone else's) and run it on any machine. I think that was GP's point.
Trickle-down economics is the mistaken idea that giving money to the wealthiest individuals/companies helps the entire economy, as those individuals/companies are the best able to leverage each dollar to produce value for everyone else ('the money put in to the top trickles down to everyone even at the bottom').
The poor can’t afford btc. If it were to become the normal method of transacting, people would get on average one transaction each per decade or so. That means that transaction fees will be obviously way too high for the global poor to possibly use.
I consider China to be a communist country that understands capitalism and uses it to its advantage.

A while capitalism encourages the tragedy of the commons and communism has the potential of solving it, it doesn't mean it will. Communism is a better system in theory, but from experience, it doesn't work as well in practice.
They only have control on flights in and out of Russia though so how much leverage can it really provide? All the EU airlines can just say sure we will fly over Belarus on the way to Moscow while still avoiding it on every other city pair that doesn't involve a Russian destination. That is why I say it seems largely symbolic.
Bergen in even in the list? Small town where weather is mostly rainy with excessive darkness through the year is somehow good?
But what I mean to say is that the legal system and the blockchain may simply be irreconcilable, without losing the benefits of each, as a mechanism for consensus. If the regulatory system requires an override, then what's the point of extremely complex, expensive, and slow distributed permissionless consensus? It may well turn out that permissionless blockchains are only really appropriate for markets beyond the purview of regulators.

Thanks, but avoiding future lawsuits for racial bias is part of protecting the company. As is making it safe for all sorts of people to work there, as that aids recruitment, retention, and results. So this wasn't about protecting the company.

My take is that HR's first goal is to protect HR, and their second to protect the powerful people in the company. Protecting the actual company is low down on the list.

I have lived in the Netherlands and in Germany and experienced the same issues. The natives will tell you that it is due to the language. The language is surely a huge part of the problem but the cultures are also themselves insular. And in any case having to achieve fluency in the local language just to have some semblance of a normal life is too much to ask, imo; not a good deal for expats.
The EU really oversold the who freedom of movement thing. It's never really going to be like the US.
> So, i’m fine with a silent electric bike from a safety point of view. The exhaust noise was a false comfort blanket that deserves no faith put in it as a device to be better seen on the road.

How many years have you ridden on the street, I can't count the amount of times I''ve been cut off but a blip on my SC project on a fireblade made people go back into their lane or at least made them aware of me lane splitting in just the last 5 months of riding street again in CA.

Maybe Ireland is different, but I think you have a better argument relying on automated cars saving you then no longer surviving due to a loud pipe.

Then again, Teslas seem to give way despite it's best in class monitoring system.

I'm pretty much over street riding a SS on the street is absurd because of the speeds and ositions you have to be in to ride it adequately to be responsive, so I can't derive much enjoyment of it to justify the risk.

Personally speaking if they decided to build a dedicated Motorcycle lane between at the very edge of the last lane I think that is the real solution, you don't need much more space to do it either.
Yep, the author was very clear from the beginning that he didn't like the idea of gcc-rs and wasn't really willing to compare both approaches on the same level.

I personally think that's a good thing that multiple approaches to the problem exist and in the end, the better one will hopefully be adopted by the community.

I was specifically commenting on manned flight but, yes, the Soviets had a rocketry lead that also allowed them to take the first pictures of the far side of the moon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_3 which is an interesting story of its own.

21 Feb is hardly the beginning. Most epidemiologists worldwide were already nervous by early Feb.

By early Feb this was the stance[0].

> World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday there was no need for measures that “unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade”

>China’s delegate took the floor at the WHO Executive Board and denounced measures by “some countries” that have denied entry to people holding passports issued in Hubei province - at the center of the outbreak - and to deny visas and cancel flights.

>“All these measures are seriously against recommendation by the WHO,” said Li Song, who is China’s ambassador for disarmament at the United Nations in Geneva.

Unsurprisingly, the countries that best fared in pandemic terms are those which severely interfered with international travel, ironically including China.

I can list out lots of dumb and bad things that Iran is doing too, but that's besides the point. There are multiple agitators and lots of dirty hands, and that is the point.

Your frame of reference is something something U.S. bad. Others have a frame of reference that is something something Iran bad.

Both governments are bad and both continue to provoke and attack each other. For Iran it's in the current regime's best interest to stay in power. For the U.S. it's multiple other reasons.

Again, we need to take away the toys of these childish governments.

Location data is truly very powerful, this has been shown already.

As an example: I live in a large apartements complex. I mostly always see the same people, because we have the same in/out hours and days. There are people I know who live here that I almost never bump into by chance, sometimes not even once in a year. This give an idea of how timestamped location data is personal and identifies you. This is quite impressive if you think about it.

That's the reason why Google keeps pinging you if you change the location privacy settings on your Android phone.
