I have not and just used it as an example since it was one of the first places I thought of when I mentioned density (along with Mumbai). But I have been to Seoul and lived in South Korea for a year. I had Hong Kong on my list of places to go see... too bad what happened.

I absolutely agree with you that Hong Kong from an infrastructure perspective has a lot going for it, but I think that skyscrapers are an anti-pattern. You can't repair them yourself, they require specialized knowledge to create and support, extremely dense environments are breeding grounds for contagious disease (this is a general statement), and from a natural standpoint they're quite sterile (the parks, while great, are illusions of nature - a toy or a simulation). I think we'll also find that skyscrapers cause anxiety and depression here in the near future as/if research is conducted. You also require massive infrastructure for cities, again more specialization. They're very much reliant on cheap fossil fuels to create and support, even if they're per-capita lower on emissions. If we run out of oil and I live in a 30,000 person city in Europe, life goes on. I still walk like I was before and farmers still bring their goods to the local market. If we run out of oil and I live in Hong Kong the entire thing crumbles to bits.

The capital is not in blockade, the nation is not in crisis. That's the trucker convoy's framing, which makes it sound like their protest is "succeeding" at being as disruptive as possible. But all that's happening is a bunch of protestors with trucks refuse to leave a small patch of downtown Ottawa. Oh and honking all the time, annoying local residents.

I suspect you don't want Trudeau's leadership in any case.
While the details of the bill maybe needs another iteration, I feel the spirit of the bill makes sense to me, and I think the issues around it should be discussed.

Legislature hasn't caught up with the internet.

> The CRTC will develop and implement regulations to ensure that both traditional and online broadcasting services, including web giants, offer meaningful levels of Canadian content and contribute to the creation of Canadian content in both official languages

That's generally been what the CRTC does, it makes sure that broadcasters have enough Canadian made content compared to non-canadian made content, and to also make sure it has content in both official languages, as well as to help support and promote content from minorities. And that the content meets some expected standards, like not advertising things to children or medical that aren't allowed in Canada.

> Protection of children.
> Restrictions against hate speech.
> Protection of national production and national culture.
> Right of reply.
> Restriction on the quantity of advertising, of ad for certain products (tobacco, pharmaceutical drugs), and on product placement

These are the regulations currently applied to broadcasters.

The problematic ones for the internet would probably be the first two. The last three, I think most people would be quite happy to see more enforcement around for internet platforms.

Now for the first two, you can argue that the fine line between protecting children and hate speech could be used to censor anything that opposes the current ruling party. This greatly depends if you believe in Canada's institutions as fighting for democracy and liberty, which I think is more common in Canada, or if, like most Americans, you believe in the government institutions as constantly being the enemy of democracy and liberty and something the citizen need to constantly take upon themselves to watchdog.

That said, I believe there are other checks and balances that can be put in place here. As long as there would be mechanisms to challenge rulings, and that all such regulations was still done transparently. And that there were relatively unambiguous guidelines. And that there were still clear ways to publish things on the internet that are bad for children and hateful but wouldn't fall under broadcasting regulations, such as say your own website, email, downloadable content, etc.

In any case, I'm not here to spin my opinion of this, I'm not sure exactly what the reasonable set of rules and regulations should be here. But I'm just saying I think it needs to be discussed. Most people probably don't know that broadcasters currently must abide by this regulation, and that internet streaming platforms don't have too. So I think educating about these and discussing what regulation makes sense and what doesn't needs to happen.
Not naive at all! One common categorisation of ILP approaches is by whether they search for programs from the most to the least general (least general is more specific), or from the least to the most general. Some approaches do a little bit of both. Approaches that search from general to specific are known as "top-down" and approaches that search from specific to general are known as "bottom-up".

The "top" and "bottom" terms refer to a lattice of generality between programs, where generality is typically measured by subsumption or entailment etc. Subsumption in particular is a syntactic relation (that implies a semantic one, entailment) so "searching" a space of logic programs ordered by subsumption means in practice that the space of programs is constructed by generalising or specialising some starting program by means of syntactic transformation according to subsumption (e.g. a first order clause can be specialised by adding literals to it: P(x):- Q(x) subsumes P(x):- Q(x), R(x). The simplest intuition is to remember that by adding more conditions to a rule we make it harder to satisfy).

A more general program entails more logical atoms and ILP algorithms are typically trained on both positive and negative example atoms of a target program, so top-down approaches begin with an over-general program that entails all the positive examples and some or all of the negative examples and specialise that program until it entails only the positive examples. Bottom-up approaches start with an over-specialised program that entails none of the positive examples and generalise it until it entails all the positive examples.

The mathematics of generalisation are at the core of ILP theory and practice. It's what sets ILP apart from statistical machine learning which is based on the mathematics of optimisation.
What Apple is doing is terrible and it is hilarious.

It's hilarious because they could act in good faith, but they don't. It's funny to watch them do this, because it is so wildly out of touch with the image they continue to project. It's funny because they repeatedly do these sorts of things, so much that it is now predictable.

“In the last year, problems in reproducing academic research have drawn a lot of public attention, particularly in the context of translating research into medical advances. Recent studies indicate that up to 70% of research from academic labs cannot be reproduced, representing an enormous waste of money and effort,” said Dr. Elizabeth Iorns, Science Exchange’s co-founder and CEO. “In my experience as a researcher, I found that the problem lay primarily in the lack of incentives and opportunities for validation—the Reproducibility Initiative directly tackles these missing pieces.”

"Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias."

And on more than one occasion, I've seen them pick interviewees who seem completely unqualified to speak on a topic. For example, I once saw an advocate for free universal college interviewed. It was some idealistic college student still going for their undergrad talking about how it's what "everyone deserves" and would "make the world a better place". The interview was a brutal public lashing. Regardless of where you stand on the topic of free universal college, I think we can all agree that it makes sense to speak to an expert on the topic, not someone in their late teens still trying to find their footing in this crazy world. That interview was uninformative and just plain cruel.
Fantastic read, thank you for sharing!
> So, according to the Census of 1860, 30.8 percent of the free families in the confederacy owned slaves.
That means that every third white person in those states had a direct commitment to slavery.

This is probably quibbling over numbers, but I'd point out that we are talking about 30% of the white people in states that had slavery. Not 30% of the population at large.

The states with slavery were underpopulated. The total population of the US in the 1860 was 31 million and the slave states had a population of 12 million (most of those slaves).

300k out of 31 million is, IMO, a few. Even if they are highly concentrated in a few states.

None of this really negates what I was saying. Owning slaves was expensive and only the wealthy could afford them. The fact that 30% of white people in slave states were wealthy enough to own slavery isn't a contradiction.

That is like L6 FAANG money. Even if you're just defrauding rich investors, you're still likely putting more than an L6 amount of work. I don't think these entrepreneurs are doing doing it for the money like the author is implying. I think they genuinely enjoy being an entrepreneur, sometimes to a delusional extent as with Elizabeth Holmes.
What kind of backward logic is this? If you hate GDPR, just say so.

Maybe I’ve had good luck but I’ve run across more f2p games that have all the trappings of dark patterns and having to pay just to win and … they’re actually good games and skill wins over pay to win.

I wish there was a good way to classify a “f2p… but reasonably balanced “ game.
This seems like a twisted sickened version of American exceptionalism to position American slavery as exceptional worse than all other slavery, to maintain a monopoly on injustice.

It would be abhorrent to imply that American slaves were privileged because they had enough stability to become married or have children, in contrast to victims of Siberian gulags or Roman slaves worked to death in mines.

Like all of history, some people may have had better conditions than others, but on the whole anyone who could be classified as a “slave” throughout history suffered atrocities.

Slavery in all forms is violation of human rights, regardless of how history views it.
America has several prominent news organizations including one extremely well funded and staunchly conservative one, one pretty darn liberal one, and another one I'd argue is more pro-establishment than either liberal or conservative. So I don't think it's fair to argue there is overt government favoritism that is blocking out voices on either side - it seems to me that each time the majority control switches hands one side or the other of the media will greatly benefit from the preferential treatment given to it by the majority.

If that doesn't sound incorrect to you then I think it's down to the market. If the market willed the conservative voices to have a larger audience the market would so deliver. And if everyone dislikes market driven news sources then how the heck did we ever manage to defund NPR and similar programs?
I upgraded my 2012 MacBook Air to Ubuntu Linux and it increased it's performance and stability by at least 3 times. Just want to throw that out here - if you consider buying a M1 Apple when you have a Intel Apple, instead consider upgrading to Linux, it's better for the environment as well to avoid producing new stuff when the old one is perfectly usable with a more proper OS
Except while I wouldn't call myself a libertarian, I would consider myself sympathetic to a lot of libertarian ideas, and so I'm probably the type of person who would be susceptible to such a skilled rhetorician.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that you and the other poster here already have some preconceptions about what a man like Thiel wants people to think, and aren't exactly looking for the most charitable reads.

I certainly could be wrong, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find too many people that didn't already have strong opinions on the man interpreting his words the way you have.
The thing is that it's so much easier to make money when you have it. It's not even necessarily that rich people just know innately how to make money, it's more like they just have access to many more people who do know how to invest.

Any schmo can open a Wealthfront account with no minimum balance that returns somewhere in the realm of retail investment returns, but only people with obscene amounts of money can go invest in the real estate firms like the one I referenced, which return many times more to the investors than anything in retail would. That firm was returning many multiples above anything you could invest in on the retail side. So having a million dollars to put into these kinds of firms winds up making so much more percentage-wise than the tens of thousands that I can put into my retirement account. It's a self-perpetuating system that allows the wealthy to continue out-earning everyone else. That's how wealth inequality works in a nutshell.

I could give you the name of the firm so you too would know how to make that kind of money. Only, you wouldn't be able to without being able to make the minimum required investment. It's not that they have some secret knowledge about making money, it's that they can buy access to the high-return investment firms that you and I just can't.
I don't think it'll ever happen, but it would be amazing if the opened up 3rd-party watch faces. For a watch, the watch-face is really the analog of the app, and it's a shame we're just limited to the built-in stuff.

Is it really true right now though? I know tons of people who feel very strongly about the actions of the CCP (I was just talking to an author who wrote a book about the Uyghur Genocide!) but almost universally they are angry at the political/ruling classes. I don't think most people believe that Chinese person = true believer. In my mind where it gets tricky is in forced tech transfer and the like where the CCP puts pressure on foreign workers and students to engage in illegal or unethical actions because they have leverage on them which is a classic cold war move but imo that shouldn't reflect on the individuals being pressured but the system that does so.

Compiler dev at MSFT. As others said, W/L balance is an actual thing at MSFT but your pay will depend on whether you are coming fresh into MSFT or have been there a while. In the latter case, you are probably being underpaid 2x but in the former case, you pay can be very competitive.
I definitely felt the same with the battery life, until I switched on "Low power mode" while on battery (System Preferences > Battery > Battery > Low Power Mode). I don't notice the drop in performance (even whilst intensively using it, such as compiling code) but what I experience is practically the doubling of its battery life. Enjoy!

Likewise parents should only parent. That is why I call the cops on my kids when they fight. They need to learn that assault and battery are serious crimes that I'm not equip to handle as an untrained person. It's best left up to people who are trained and specialized to deal in the matter.

How do you know? I couldn't find any example questions in the article.
You consider having to threaten the reputation of an academic journal by emailing the CEO directly before you even make it to the review for a well written, concise, critical paper "part of that process"?

Not even mentioning that it required the publicity and reputation of a well known figure (Sokal) to even open that door for them.

If that's the "shining light" of this industry - I sure as fuck don't want to see the dirty alleyway.
Same product but with reduced functionality. For example, email routing isn't available (with the exception of the catch-all functionality).
I don’t know what the situation is here but a startup can setup the board or governance in different ways. Founder could control everything directly or indirectly and the board might have one or no external directors.

And while technically you should inform the board of executive comp changes, it’s not like the investors generally care that much in the early stages or there is some box they have to officially check. You could just go to your payroll system and increase your comp. They don’t come to check your payroll or accounting unless they suspect something so it’s not that hard fly under the radar for some time.

Primarily, graphics acceleration doesn't work. Since Apple has never made a computer that uses Intel 11th Gen CPUs, the integrated graphics are borked. I suppose a tremendous effort to reverse engineer and inject a working driver /could/ work, it's probably not feasible.

The government does not force people to use Tether. My only concern with Tether may be that it quickly collapses and that chapter can close. Hopefully your interest and attention on Tether will help kick it into history. And if you don't like Tether or brothels or MJ or tobacco then simply opt out of those.
How convenient to "test positive" when the truckers have come home to roost in Ottawa.
Yeah, I just disagree with "iPhones are making people unable to use computers well" concerns, whatever the definition of "computer literate".

My experience has been that outside of enthusiast or professional tech circles, and those directly adjacent, knowing stuff like where to expect a USB disk to appear when it's plugged in, or that you can cut/copy/paste files, what you can and can't drag-n-drop, where to expect common actions to show up in menus, the concept of UI focus and how it basically works in practice, and so on, places you in the (lower end of) top-tier of computer users, and pretty much always has. People, in general, have never understood how to use a computer well. We've had the term "power user" for folks who halfway know how to use a computer for decades now, because even most people who work with a desktop every day do not know that, and it's not like that was different pre-smartphone.

Either simple, ordinary GUI computer use is actually much harder than we (on a site like this) think, or the UIs and metaphors we use are flat-out awful and need to be re-thought from the ground up (what might that look like? Well, iOS has tried...). Or some combination of the two.

[EDIT] My point about the definition of "computer literate" hardly mattering is that I think you have to stretch it so far that it becomes useless before you manage to capture most computer users, since at least when they became common in offices. You have to put the bar practically on the floor before most users will pass it. I don't (entirely) blame users for that, to be clear, and think it has a lot to do with fundamental mistakes in how our profession and industry build & present UIs to ordinary folks who don't want to devote half their brain to understanding how computers work. It has very little to do with iPhones.
Congress doesn't have the authority to legislate on marijuana if it's grown, harvested, sold, and consumed/used all in the same state as the interstate commerce clause cannot be used. In California, several county sheriffs had publicly said that they would arrest DEA agents if they tried to enforce federal law in California. Historical precedent for this practice dates back to shorty before the civil war where the Milwaukee Sheriff arrested two US Marshall agents for kidnapping because they were trying to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act. This particular sheriff is flat-out committing theft and abusing his authority; he needs to go to jail for a very long time.

I agree with your sentiment, certainly. My main point of contention would be that the government in the US (and the Anglosphere in general) is very much ok with supporting and subsidizing suburbia. This comes in the form of zoning, federal funding for highways (where the bulk of the cost is in maintenance which will be causing local governments to go bankrupt in the future), government subsidies of oil, support for the auto industry, subsidizing environmental costs (i.e. you don't bear the cost for the destruction of the environment) you name it. There's no sidewalk lobby. Ya know?
I believe that we conclude... why have one when we can have both?
> In my experience reading scientific papers, "we conclude" is just a pretentious old-timey way to say "I think".

My high school Philosophy teacher would argue that "I think" is a weasily way to avoid accountability and challenge. And, "I think", she would say, is implied by any first person statement.

Nobody can challenge what you think; your thoughts are your own. What they can challenge are declarations you make about the external world. What she failed to foresee is the degree of offense people would eventually claim regarding others' declarations. "I think" is indeed a way to pull your punches, but often to avoid conflict with the public's increasingly hyper-sensitive disposition than to protect one's own fragile ego.
