On macOS, there's a prominent top banner in 'System Preferences' for 'Apple ID, iCloud, Meida & App Store', where if you click the 'Apple ID' button there, you are then one click away from a button labeled 'Payment & Shipping'.

A similar UI exists on iOS. Android is a little different in that the 'Google' option in Settings is a bit hidden on Google reference devices and OEMs get to customize the main app, too.

This is very much par for the course.
I've worked on ~5 ML products over my career across startups, unicorns, and FAANG.

The general factors I've observed during scale-up are common across all projects.

1. Very few people know how the underlying model works, or why it works - many of the people you would expect to know do not.

2. The business value of marginal improvements to the model or extending to new use cases in the business is much smaller than you would hope. Or more advanced methods introduce unfortunate tradeoffs which make them impractical.

3. Whenever you add new modelers to the mix, they want to use radically different technology - reducing the effectiveness of platform efforts. Many of these divergent efforts do not produce net gains and instead come down to the old use X instead of Y type debates.

4. Few modelers want to touch anyone else's code. Most believe internal tools will inherently be garbage (which they often are)

5. Platform efforts tend to spiral into cost pits.

6. Investment in the product area is largely dependent on leadership buy-in for ML related efforts, usually with a big initial thrust - moderate gains, then slow wind down.

This reminds me of systems engineering and DevOps pre-cloud, and tells me that companies are going to want to outsource this tooling as fast as possible. I'd also expect that there will be a good market for directly offering specific customizable platforms for things like ASR, Recommendations, Search, Computer Vision, and others - but the challenge in 1&3 will make this a tough sell.
That is also a mischaracterization, it wasn't sarcasm.[1] Trump was demonstrating his respect and admiration for Putin. While not quite as bad as literally believing that the invasion was wonderful, it's still incredibly offensive. And looking dumber and dumber every day that the Ukranians hold out and NATO gets stronger.

Trump's problem isn't that he's pro-Russian (though, that has yet to be proven one way or another). Trump's problem is that he fawns over authoritarians and thinks that the West's democratic principles make it weak. Just like Putin.

[1] noun, the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
Well, between those there is also a collection of bad practices that the entire industry shares for some reason (the existence of the ERP being the most likely culprit).

It's not all gain.

Client-side routing for page-oriented stuff is certainly not a solved problem: the basics, sure, but not actually doing it properly. There are some parts of the experience that it’s not possible to do perfectly because the web doesn’t expose the necessary primitives, and exceptionally few things go beyond the basics of just clobbering and resetting scroll position on back/forward. To do it properly, you need to restore all transient UI state (form field contents/state, scroll positions, focus, selection, media playback position; zoom level, probably not implementable; and there may be more, though I don’t include things like <details open> as transient state since that’s put into the DOM) on back/forwards, and I don’t know if I’ve seen anything actually do that. Then there’s the matter of helping accessibility tech to realise a page change has occurred, and I’m not sure of the state of the art on that, but last time I looked (some years ago) I think it was bogged down in unreliable heuristic land rather than actually being solved.
Since 2015 all Visa and MasterCard transactions within Russia are handled by National Payment System and are not affected by any sanctions. There's also a Russian payment system Mir based on NPS. Operators of NPS cooperate with Union Pay and even issue co-branded cards, so I won't be surprised if NPS-UnionPay bridge will allow avoiding sanctions for any payments between Russia and China.
Portugal isn't Europe?
The RuPay international card offerings (since the RuPay BINs are unrecognised outside of India) used a shared BIN from JCB, Japan as a workaround.
Don't we vote for representatives to ... represent the ourselves (the crowd) so we don't have to take individual actions like these ?
Portugal is such an homogeneous country that this is basically a map of population density x national frequency of the surname. Only exception I found is Viegas, which has a higher than expected concentration in Algarve.

I like plain text for the simplicity. It's easier to find my thoughts and focus on writing when the editor is as simple as a rock, otherwise I'll spend hours fiddling with the settings. Typically I use GNU Nano for its lack of features.
Not OP, but if you're looking for a quick look, I use AudioBookConverter [1] that uses OpenJFX to execute ffmpeg commands to build M4B files. It's very clunky, especially when you install updates and such. But it gets the job done.

Ukraine stays neutral unless Russia is an EU ally/member also. Post-Putin Russia should integrate somehow EU. I believe young generations would rejoice.

"A day will come when you — France, Russia, Italy, England, Germany — all you nations of the continent will merge, without losing your distinct qualities and your glorious individuality, in a close and higher unity to form a European brotherhood, just as Normandy, Brittany, Burgundy, Lorraine, Alsace, all our provinces are merged together in France." -- Victor Hugo (1849)

Narcolepsy is a recognized disability under the ADA. I am surprised there was no mention of this in the article.
What makes you think the Chinese oligarchs wont be given an anonymous enough backdoor?

There's no such thing as a backdoor for some limited group of people. If there's a backdoor then it's for anyone who can discover it and chooses to use it. This is the flaw in the thinking of every single politician who ever talks about encryption and crypto. You can't compromise the security in something and expect it to remain a secret. Things are either secure by design, or they're not secure.
No, Russia will not invade Ukraine (9 Feb 2022)
Dedollarization in global settlements is empirically a historic trend though. At least until 2020.
To add to this bit of trivia. In Sweden this was never a thing where your job became your surname. If you go to a cemetery you'll sometimes see the occupation on the gravestone though, especially on older graves and if it was a more higher class job.
> You may be unaware but West (NATO) has been on Azerbaijan's side on the disputed land, at least officially on paper.

In Germany, that may have been motivated by corruption - there has been a huge scandal involving a bunch of Conservative politicians [1].

Yea, I was wondering about that; but the risk feels similar to a browser RCE to me. Maybe it's higher because browsers are more widely used/analyzed; but then again, a browser RCE has a much wider range of targets with more opportunities to exploit

There was a military exercise with Sweden and Finland in that region at that time, they could have just wanted to have a little look and see and their signal recon from a distance probably sucks like everything else.

It's of course provocative but still less than 2013 when 4 fighter jets and 2 bombers flew in attack formation against Sweden in a simulated nuclear attack.

Anyone else found a surname with just 1 "place"?

Started looking av UK and tried a few I could think of. I'm from Sweden so I went for the obvious ones like Smith, Black, White and then just for laughs continued with colors (oops, that was UK so colours, i suppose). Went with Red, Blue and so on, was surprised by how many Pinks there were but then hit "gold" (1861 places) with Magenta, one place!
I beg to differ in many interesting cases, we put at least some parts of the business logic into the database. The table design is a direct consequence of the business logic, the same is true for constraints and triggers.

I’m curious to hear about the migration story? We’re there many Lebanese immigrants in Europe in the 1800s?
Or, even better, through Kazakhstan, since its member of EAEU.
1. it could fuel retaliation by the russian government, perhaps lying that the cut done by the west is not asymmetric and it's actually the reason internet doesn't work for russians

2. isn't it useful that people on the west at least know what kind of propaganda people in russia consume?

The peg is a subsidy for the world. I.e. those working under that currency regime should be making more money and have higher purchasing power.

If the population was educated enough to know they were being stolen from, ‘Office Space’-style, they would throw their leaders out.

This is one reason the great firewall of China is so important, and I expect Russia to embrace that umbrella soon.
Not to diminish anything you said, but your word order might imply something you don’t wish to imply. Kazakhs have the longest border with Russia, while the longest land border is the US-Canada border.
> Getting ahead of this and trying to divert patients from this wasteful system is a fantastic and profitable idea for the insurer.

We try to provide on-demand care whenever reasonable and possible. While it increases utilization of things like mental health and telehealth and wellness for us in the short-term, over the long-term it yields benefits in the overall health of the member (especially when considered across a whole population).

> ACA

The ACA brought approximately 40 million net-new insureds into the marketplace who were previously uninsured. It was/is a hugely ambitious law, with (I think) good intentions, that had (to your point) some unintended consequences. Also, many of the initial assumptions going in on the ACA turned out to be far too optimistic.
The consumer side i don't know but on the developer front they're doing pretty nice.. vscode is wildly used (and appreciated), .net is growing ok, typescript too. The github thing didn't turn out sour yet.

The next 10 years will be weird and critical because most new people on earth will be born outside of the windows ruling days. I think they're gonna pull the rug hard on any fat application ala MS/Office because it will be completely aberrant to "work" this way when everything you used since birth was a few swipe away.
> The West doesn’t really care about Russia or Ukraine

Obviously false.

> in fact I wonder if the US even cares about Europe at all at this point

Your bias is showing.

> Leave a mess in Europe while they pivot to Asia.

The mess in question is something created by Europe. What's happening with Ukraine is a vestige disease of former European empire & conquering mentality, the ideology of past centuries that used to be omnipresent among the major powers and their cultures, and is now an ideology primarily only prevelant in Russia (although Macron pines for the French empire a bit as an extension of his egomania).

The US has spent 3/4 of a century holding the line against Russia in Europe. It's a very expensive line and it shouldn't be our responsibility.

Very obviously it's time for the Europeans to pick up more of that burden (I'm glad Germany is maybe finally waking up to that need, it's in their own self-interest to do so). The US should remain a core part of NATO and should continue to participate, just with the Europeans carrying more of that security burden and the US carrying less.

What are Italy and Spain doing at present to stop Russia? Not much (insert comment about how, but but but Italy waved their hands in the air furiously and Spain sent 27 tank busters to Ukraine and they agreed to sanctions, wow). Those are major EU+NATO nations, let them deploy a hundred thousand soldiers along NATO's eastern flank, instead of the US having to do it this time (at the peak the US had 400,000+ soldiers protecting the rest of Europe from the USSR in the late 1950s). See how they like the cost and stress it puts on their societies. Few countries will be willing to tolerate those very long-term deployments and costs.

Maybe the EU can build a significant defense force so the US doesn't have to play that role again. It's a nice thought. The Europeans are not going to like the cost of it all (which, given the net zero economic growth in the EU over the past 15 years, the increased military cost will come directly in the form of a lower standard of living and weaker social safety net for the people, which is where the social rebellion against an EU defense apparatus begins).

Ukraine needs help, they are getting desperate. Yes, they're standing and pushing back even, but Russians kill so many civilians... I don't think world can afford to watch how it's just being destroyed like this. Russian people are brainwashed and are under military occupation right now, they can't effectively overthrow this government. All the Putin's cronies are locked with him in a bunker, under complete control. This is a bad situation from all angles.
I know that corporate meeting room A/V is often an issue, but Google has pretty much solved that in their own offices. Their internal deployment of Meet works very well.
Any ideals, anywhere, from the USSR to the US to Thailand or Oman, will always be subject to decay. The law of impermanence (無常) holds fast in politics because humans are forgetful. Societies must refresh and rebuild their ideals as their inertia is lost to time.

When this happens in the West, you see a lot of political discord, as is occurring right now. But when it happened in the USSR, discontent built up behind the scenes until it exploded in a series of revolts that led to a decade of stagnation and corruption in eastern Europe.

So, critique appreciated, but I'll take our flaws over your flaws.
This happened to me as well, I have a ticket out from a week ago.

You cant change to USD because AWS canada doesnt support USD for credit cards. And you cant change to AWS Inc (usa) because when you try to remove your canadian billing address it says AWS Inc doesnt support CAD.
I don't think so. I run a popular gaming server and people from China connect daily. It's a regular topic and most folks playing are young. It's not that they're unaware, it's just history for them. It's like saying Americans are unaware that the US military was the first and only nation to use nuclear weapons. We don't like it, but we're not unaware.
The sanctions can backfire spectacularly, as they often do, leading to mass suffering and isolation for the populace, further radicalization of the leadership, and less reason for compromise as economic/cultural entanglements are severed.
While all of this is true, other countries have a system where the government tells you what tax they believe you owe, and provide the details of how they reached this number.

The citizen can either pay that number, or offer amendments to the details which imply a lower rate (or higher if you're a masochist, I suppose).

That's independent of the complexity of how that number is derived, and in balance I would rather the US (as a citizen thereof) use this sort of system than the one we happen to have.

My company, Antithesis, is building a fully in-person team. We have worked on hard projects before -- we built FoundationDB -- and this is the model that we found works for complex, audacious projects. Working closely on design at a whiteboard or coding as a pair is just far more rewarding in person. And in order to grow fast we need high bandwidth, low latency knowledge transfer options. Again, that's also just clearly more feasible in-person. And, of course, there's the great chance to increase team trust and cohesion through chance conversations and occasional lunches together. What we're working on now is both more complex and more audacious that FoundationDB: therefore we are all together in the office.

It's true that there are some downsides from the company's perspective: we have a smaller pool of talent to pull from and the office environment can be interrupt prone. Both, however, we think are more than offset by the upsides.

We're located in Northern VA and growing! Check out a list of jobs at https://antithesis.breezy.hr/ or, if you love building complex things and are great to work with, just shoot us a message at jobs@antithesis.com.
The difference is people like you aren't willing to put any skin in the game when you make these sorts of extraordinary claims.
That sounds like it could also have been written to justify Japanese internment in WWII. Maybe hindsight buys us some luxuries we couldn't otherwise afford, but it's worth some hard thinking about what is really necessary.
They still have no competition on the desktop. They can release me, vista, 8, 11... and still remain on top.

They will continue to behave this way until competition surges.
Does that ever work for a population? How do you get your version of the truth in front of people who support a different truth? They generally aren't looking for it.
The difference is, RT is pure, unadulterated, lie. It's government-sponsored infowars. It's under complete control by FSB/KGB and serves exclusively as a platform for launching russian PsyOps.
Awesome. As part of the diaspora, I have met a ton of open-minded Turkish people. Especially in the US, if they have an artistic or educated leaning, we tend to have a lot in common. The more people who can see beyond national pride and try to know other groups of people, the better.

Yes, but that model only really works for piracy sites, and only ones with closed access[0], where you can maintain an internal ledger of who seeded what. On an actual streaming service where you have to pay for your TV shows or movies, the cost of video distribution will be dwarfed by the cost to license or produce that video. If you actually tried this on a premium video site you'd be charging $15/mo and then giving most people back a few pennies for their bandwidth.

Free-of-charge video might seem like a better fit, but that market was totally cornered by Google and YouTube; who basically have as much bandwidth as they could ever want. Yes, you can get around that with PeerTube, but there are so many other entirely unrelated advantages YouTube has over everyone else that this doesn't really confer much of a benefit.

[0] Interestingly, the FTP topsite scene would stick their nose up at even private BitTorrent trackers as not closed enough.

I have an internal document just for comparing different ML vendors/frameworks/etc. Most of them have low value add, so it's easy to remove them from the picture.

One challenge is whether to pick a vendor that offers solutions for each stage in the lifecycle or specializes in solutions for a particular stage. Ultimately it's a false choice because you'll run into the limitations of a vendor and need to compliment it with another. Then you have the problem of trying to staple vendor solutions together.
I agree, it is a universal service that should be available to everyone under any circumstance.

I'm just ridiculing the comment that said 'go ahead, we don't need it'.
And it's not like Java is in the browser and WebAssembly is trying to reimplement something that's already available. Java got kicked to the curb and for a reason. If it's such a superior solution go ahead and put it back and show all the people working on WebAssembly what a waste of time it is.
That’s because Humble UI have to work with JWM/Skija and I didn’t want to do conversion from Java Point to Clojure Point every time. I needed _base_ librariers to return Points/Rects that are already directly accessible from Clojure
That’s not quite how it works. Companies argue that there’s no brand confusion in order to coexist with similar trading names and use market sector as evidence but there isn’t any specific law that says this has to be the case.

To use your Beetles vs Apple Computers case study, Apple Computers actually settled with the record label and part of the agreement of that settlement was that Apple wouldn’t enter the music industry. It wasn’t a case that the record label lost, it was a settlement. Hence the follow up case between the two after Apple released iTunes (or whatever it was that triggered their “arrival” in the music industry).
