It seems like fancy hyperparameter optimization techniques (e.g. Bayesian black-box optimization) probably don't help here either, because they don't solve the problem of extrapolating outside the range of hyperparameter values have have already been tried. Is that a valid conclusion?
I like Go and the benefits are real (though a GB Docker image has nothing to do with Python), it is however very verbose. I use both (for different use cases) and coming back from Go to Python is such a relief... As with everything, this is a tradeoff too. I don't feel the pain of python packages though, for me pipenv solves this nicely. To each their own I guess... :)
I am, I'm a US citizen and my one major interaction with the US healthcare system seemed like I received great treatment for a completely fair price.
Picture this:

- monocoque anodized aluminum housing with coin screw o-ring battery port that houses an 18650;
-silicon gasketed polycarbonate faceplate held with stainless hex button head screws, waterproof to 100 meters
- tactile clicky button keys beneath a silicone membrane for waterproof-ness.
- detachable rubberized wifi antenna.

Ok, so it gets N times harder, but you get M times more compute power. Is there a relation between N and M? Is at least M larger than N? Will N get lower with more qubits?
You tell me. Cite primary sources.
Microservices and SPAs are to me in the same category of "things we do because it is fun" rather than because the business will take any benefit out of it.

The amount of effort wasted is just not worth it in 90% of the cases.
I've never heard a convincing argument about why the COVID restrictions weren't literal violations of human rights. Often I got a variant of "I'm scared we're just going to do it". Most (all?) of the arguments for it turned out to be wrong - eg, vaccination has not slowed the spread, even marginally, according to the experience in Australia where COVID tore through a highly vaccinated population. In my state (~95% adults 12+ vaccinated) we have had more than a million cases (population 8 million) in 1.5 months. And the testing systems collapsed, probably quite a bit more in reality.

This is now taking it one step further - this argument is as an assumption - suggesting people have to give up their freedoms because people paying for their own hospital capacity is unacceptable to you. I say that because the sort of person who is pro-freedom to the point of not wanting a vaccine might well overlap with the population of people pro-freedom enough that they want individuals to pay for their own healthcare.

This is not a sustainable position against 2019 business-as-usual. I agree with the headline.

These used to be a lot cheaper, IIRC I got mine for about $25. I would recommend these to anyone wanting to go beyond "just looking" for ESP development, especially beginners. Yea, you can buy the components you need separately, but having everything integrated in one small package makes it easy to try things out quickly. No breadboards, jumper wires, etc just to have a button to press. And when you're ready to dedicate hardware to the project, you can build it with one of the cheaper modules. But all of the debugging, etc is a lot easier with the big screen, and integrated peripherals. At $45, I'm not so sure, might just be recommended for people who'll really get into ESP development.
If they follow and law because it's the law, yes. My anger would be toward the government or my peers. I live in a democratic society last time I checked, even if it doesn't always move how I would like.

If someone is going to make a bold claim about something generally considered to be safe, actually causing a significant number of injuries, it's irresponsible not to provide a source.

Not sure if you're from Quebec so this wouldn't be news to you, but our healthcare is BAD. Like comically bad. Nurses are routinely forced to do doubles because they don't have enough staff, hell we don't even have enough beds either! Because of COVID a lot of non-critical but still pretty important procedures were cancelled for lack of workers.

So in that context the government is legitimately scared of it all crashing down so we get these policies.

How long ago was that? I have to think the situation today is quite different from when the major vaccines were approved months ago, but I could be wrong.
Not sure about the NATO request, but the West had a prime opportunity to make a new friend after the breakup of the Soviet Union and completely blew it. Russia was suffering, I remember seeing a flood of used Russian kids toys for sale on eBay. And the US was just rubbing it in, exclaiming in glee at the collapse and offering little aid or support. A wasted opportunity that has led to the current situation.
Absolutely. That was one of my complaints with the class. I have an interest in compilers and the process, but I took this course to learn about storage and efficient lookups.
Some use cases that I'm already using it for even in the limited state:

* Making topic-focused lists of articles. e.g. researching a particular topic just grab a bunch of URLs and stick them in a table

* Real estate research - grabbing a bunch of locations and adding them to a table, but where price and image are auto-
grabbed (and adding notes)

* Making a list of gift ideas

* Making a running list of music I want to check out

These are mostly simple bookmarking use cases.

What I *really* want to be able to do is publish these lists (either as HTML or as JSON endpoints) and collaborate on them with others! But that requires building a server and login etc that all feels a bit beyond my coding skills.....

There's a difference between the statement "don't need an opinion on everything" and "don't need an opinion on anything". Your criticism would only apply to the latter statement.
I think you need to read more carefully. For example, he explicitly anticipates and puts aside some questions you ask:

"In this paper, we will not be concerned with postmodernist critiques of the idea of objective truth nor with skeptical doubts about the possibility of knowledge. I shall assume some broad commonsensical understanding according to which there are truths and we humans sometimes manage to know some of these truths."

Apologies in advance for getting on my soapbox, but this has been on my mind for a while.

The way in which the media has gotten everyone to say "the unvaccinated" is a 'disease' against basic science (not even getting into the divisive nature of this). I would go as far as saying if you read any paper, study, or other that refers to the "unvaccinated" as a single cohort, you are reading vaccine propaganda, not science, or certainly not good science.

This must stop. Prior infection immunity is basic science that we've known for eons, and ignoring it is so blatantly glaring an omission, it should make the most staunch pro-vaccine person pause and say: "why are they so adamant to vaccinate those with prior infection?". One would expect prior infection to be robust, and multiple studies, including even the CDC's most recent shows it to be easily as good if not better and longer lasting than the vaccine. This should not come as a surprise to anyone.

If you think any of the above is "anti-vax" then I would suggest the media has won and science is dead. I'm not suggesting the vaccine doesn't work. I'm not suggesting it doesn't provide protection against severe disease and death. I'm not suggesting anyone go out and intentionally try to get COVID, but a HUGE # of people have already had it and ignoring them is downright unscientific. If you are a rational person who wants to see good science and are unemotional and detached from outcomes, then you will want to see proper study cohorts, and combining prior infection in with the "unvaccinated" cohort, is just bad science. This bad science fuels the anti-vaxx movement even more, and honestly, it is hard blame them.
Yes, cigarettes and alcohol are taxed specifically by the state.
The news coverage here seems to treat anything the government does as the wrong thing just because they've done it though. For example, healthcare workers in England will be required to be vaccinated soon unless the government changes its mind, and the whole media has been on a push against it, including the BBC making their top headline on the news front page an article about how terrible it was and uncritically regurgitating the Welsh government's claims that it's pointless and counterproductive (they have no such mandate, but required vaccinations for nightclubs when England didn't). Now, this makes no scientific sense - healthcare is basically the one place where Covid vaccination to protect others is actually justifiable, given that they're interacting with high-risk patients who can't be fully protected by vaccination. It makes perfect political sense though, and based on past form the moment the government abandons this the media will immediately flip to supporting it.
But if it's a mandate, that's tens (hundreds?) of millions of more vaccines sold every year.

My point is that if we are going to act like everything they say is solely profit motivated, they should still support mandates.
Denmark becomes first EU country to scrap all Covid-19 restrictions
Other commenter is right that a Bachelors and passing the exams are required. The work certainly does get boring, but is extremely stable with, usually, excellent work life balance. It's very possible (in the US) to spend ~7 years working/studying to pass the exams and now you can make 150-200k USD/year while averaging 35 hours week for the remainder of your career.

One major difference in comparison to software is the extremely long project timelines. Loss model refits/remodels are planned years in advance, it can easily take 6 months back and forth waiting on states to respond to filings, etc.
Most of these aren't working anymore... extremely frustrating
Is that always true, or just in some cases?

For example, a website hosting child pornography I think would be quite detrimental to the value of the project. Would the ENS holders seek to maximize their economic value, or "property rights"? Or is child porn good for business?

And yet their case rates are booming (top 3 in the world) and their deaths curve looks very similar to the 1st wave.
>Yes. Just don't fill out the form. And if the Census folks send folks to your house, you can pretend not to be home, politely ask them to leave, or in states that allow it, shoot such trespassers dead.

Just like paying taxes is optional because all you have to do is not send money to the IRS, and if they come you shoot them dead?

>The participation of every citizen in the United States Census of 2020 was mandatory by the law by Article I, Section 2 of the American constitution. Census is carried out in the U.S. every ten years to count the correct population in the country. The figures obtained in the 2020 Census were particularly helpful in determining congressional representation and community funding.

^ this, except I'd add that as a large ENS delegate myself (as one of the founders of Metaphor), I and other large delegates don't factor in the price of the token into decisions.

We never intend to sell $ENS, it's a public good, not a profit-generating protocol. Think of it like an on-chain B-corp.

That said, if you really want to make sure you can't ever face the "egregious renewal fee" attack vector, you could just register it for a really long time. For most names, it costs like $500 to register it for 100 years.
I thought it's been established that the vaccinated spread the virus just as vaccinated do [1]. The vaccines might help the person taking it, but that isn't even clear anymore since the vaccines were not engineered for this variant.

"There is not a single example of a country with less than 40% of the population overweight that has high death rates (over 10 per 100 000). Similarly, no country with a death rate over 100 per 100 000 had less than 50% of their population overweight.

When are we going to start banning overweight from consuming alcohol and eating fast food? They're putting tremendous pressure on our universal healthcare system!

Yes we have a social contract. Yes people take measures such as seatbelts and helmets. No, neither of those are the same as mandating individuals to take a vaccine that has limited benefit for the majority of people. Following a year long media campaign of fear, after accepting lockdowns, the only supposed solution is taking a vaccine that has been sped through clinical trials and at best serves to reduce the severity for those most at risk from Covid.

I see pure coercion. How long before access to the majority of vital services will be dependant on 'up to date' vaccination status, checked and logged in via your app whenever you travel, shop, work. How long before this turns into a social credit system?

I've survived many rounds of layoffs as long as I have (decades) by refusing all attempts to move me into management. It is always the middle managers that get the boot during layoffs. I have almost never seen developers get laid off (at least not as part of mass layoffs, usually they are laid off because they are plain bad).
Although as you point out, if I lived in the states I'd be poked. I visit there often enough, but family is kind enough to put me up and I take the time to save.
"We will not ever eradicate Covid-19 with vaccination" is the most small minded statement possible to make. We have eradicated so many diseases with vaccination.

I think what you mean to say is "We cannot eradicate COVID-19 with the current vaccines," but to swear off vaccines as if they can't do the work is frankly, dumb.
I actually took my university's compiler course at the same time as this DB course, and that was my favorite class out of all four years, hands down. Honestly, the parsing portion of my DB class was helped out by the knowledge I got from the compiler class earlier in the semester, so at least it worked out!
> It’s just a series of human errors.

This reminds me of a game I ported from iOS to Windows Phone, actually. It was free and ad supported. I told my contact like 50 times he needed to get me an API key for Microsoft Ads, so I just used my own while I waited. Fast forward six months and the game launched after still asking every week and informing them that they needed to get me the API key or all ad revenue would go to me.

I set up an auto email to go out once a week asking for the API key. That person would reply back for literally any other issue.

They emailed me like 2 years later asking where their money is. I replied with the entire situation, screen shots of the emails and would be happy to send them the 1¢ they earned.

I never heard back from them until their lawyer contacted me. Sent him the same stuff. Never heard back from them either. They did post a blog post about how they were going after their ex-developer for “stealing” their ad revenue though. I lol’d and went on with my life. People do weird shit for some publicity. I’m not saying that’s what’s going on here, but it sure smells like it.

re #1: This is basically because it's written into the standard that everyone implements. There are non-standardized extensions to get around this that nobody implements because they're non-standard and a perpetual "This will be fixed by the next standard!". There are also codecs that mitigate the issue by solving the underlying bandwidth problem, but nobody implements those because there's licensing and thus it's not universal. All of this is made worse by the fact that there's really only a few vendors out there. Almost everyone buys the same stuff, which makes the same tradeoffs and the result is that everything sucks in basically the same ways.
I noticed this (albeit with a different keyboard app) as soon as I switched from Windows Phone to Android. Couldn't stand it really, it would auto-suggest random email addresses and even numbers when I was just trying to type words.

The least-bad Android keyboard I've ever used is the HTC keyboard, since it had a setting to only learn words I explicitly told it to remember.
and this is why we will all be very fortunate if this mania dies soon. Because the NSA won’t promote an algorithm they can’t break meaning SHA256 has a weakness intentionally installed that AI will certainly find in time. As crypto permeates the general market and becomes a dependency, SHA256 becomes an attack vector allowing foreign states to anonymously damage the US economy, which is unacceptable.

I’m tired of this “something for nothing” self interested delusional lying mob frantically trying to control the narrative - and this headline is a perfect example. Who do they think they’re fooling?

Pharmacist, starting salaries are really high (100k+ starting).
Raising rates means projects that would inevitably be paid for in part by debt would be more expensive than when rates were lower. So projects at the margin suddenly aren’t profitable and are cancelled. Less demand at the margins means less pricing pressure upwards, so less inflation.
> Articles like this really need to describe some sort of policy or plan for the 7 million or so immunocompromised people in America.

Wear good masks, social distance, etc. Basically do everything that's recommended to prevent the spread of covid, besides getting a vaccine. As a bonus, doing these things will help keep them safe from a large number of other airborne illnesses that put them at risk.

Plus, there has been an increased awareness about preventing the spread of airborne diseases in general. Lots of stores and businesses have installed filtration systems that help keep everyone safer. Contactless delivery / checkout is much more mainstream, and it's now socially acceptable & legal to wear a mask, which is something certain people are going to continue to do. So while it has certainly been a nightmare for immunocompromised people, some positive changes have also resulted.

The issue with downvotes as someone else mentioned is essentially that there are numerous meanings for why a post is downvoted.

I imagine a better solution would be to use something like emojis (e.g. poo vs spam emojis) but to also combine that with the user's emoji history on other posts to determine the meaning of the emoji they've left.

That way the system can differentiate someone that's let's say a radical or part of a group that wish to simply "bring something down" from those that are more legitimate.
The renewal vector is the only way atm, yes. But it's easy to prevent this as a .eth holder: just register for a really long time. Costs like $500 to register for 100 years for most names.

As for the controller bit, even if you change the controller, we can't revoke the .eth names. We can only change new registration parameters (as you mention).
