Technically nothing can be trusted e.g. can anyone trust their silicon, wires, device drivers, compilers, OS, routers, SSL CAs, etc.? Trust has to happen at some point.

The difference is that it's trivial for this developer to insert a backdoor to steal Google credentials since they know exactly how and where the oauth tokens are located. It's significantly harder for e.g. a webpack developer to insert a backdoor to steal Google credentials since they would have to first determine the code it's processing is handling oauth tokens and then figure out where they are stored.

The barrier to entry is the key in assessing your threat model. 3 letter agencies may not care about the cost if the target is valuable but a bored kid on the other side of the world will give up pretty quickly.
Your periapsis — the lowest part of your orbit — is always the place you return to. Throwing harder or at a different angle just determines how high you get when at your highest point, before coming all the way back down again.

If you apply thrust at A then you have the solid line: an elliptical orbit.

If you just throw something hard all you have is the dashed line: go up then come
back down again.

Yes, true, I suppose I'm assuming a pre-existing/otherwise somehow known wide margin.

The optimisation I describe is on profit, not revenue, and (as you say) you need to know the fixed and variable (marginal unit) costs to do that.
Sounds elitist to me.
If you don't like audio over ethernet do not even think about doing high quality video :-D

Hate to say it but you are probably better off getting something other than Echo Dots for music. Too bad Google discontinued the Chromecast Audio - I love mine. The biggest plus for me is that once you have a compatible app (such as Spotify) streaming is done entirely on the chromecast audio from your internet itself instead of continuing to use your phones battery and wifi.
The ultimate scapegoat tbh. The whole things was just for show (completely unfounded statement, but I hold it to heart).
I agree that ownership of a company does not entitle you to harm others. There are many laws which exist to prevent companies from harming others and we probably need more of those.

But this isn't about what rights a company has. This is about the obligations a board has to act on behalf of its shareholders within legal limits.

Please don't confuse my comments for an approval of public companies choosing financial gain over the good of others. This is one of the primary reasons why I am very critical of companies going public. Going public essentially means a company sells its soul for investment money. The owners and investors may see a big payout, but the potential long-term good a company can do is handicapped as soon as it goes public.

It's literally impossible for a system run by a single company to not be centralized. Dorsey acknowledging that or not does not change that nor would having some other owner.

It's actually possible (although not easy by any stretch) for us to build a decentralized Twitter that would not be controlled by a company for profit and would be more censorship resistant. It probably will not happen because of ignorance and political manipulations rather than hard technical limitations.
My hope is that he does things that the "Twitter is a private company and they can do what they want" crowd hates. Twitter may cost $43B or more, but to witness the prostration of that crowd is truly priceless.

It feels like the whole thing was built by an intern over the course of one summer. Realistically, the city is probably paying an uncompetitive wage in a very competitive market and thus hiring less-than-competent engineers to service millions and millions of people.
Postponed would mean the date was officially announced by one of the devs?

I've not had time to pay attention much over the past months, but to me that June date was always a silly rumor. Correct me if I'm wrong. End of year is what I heard, but even that isn't set in stone of course and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't happen till then.

It needs to be better policed but I sense it's way undervalued being one of the few huge media platforms. It's a smart move. Meta market cap was 1T down to 600B. Other techs market caps? 43B sounds like a bargain.

Just the hype off this, and the excitement that will inevitably follow every tweak to the platform - tens of billions up in value.

One of the rails to trails routes here in Virginia that I've ridden my bike on features a pretty large and relatively high bridge that spans acroases a river and much of the woods surrounding it. The more narrow bridge makes it easier to see over both sides like a typical pedestrian bridge but having that experience in the middle of the woods and above the trees was rather magical.

I don't know if there's any way out of the oracle problem honestly. There's nothing wrong with shopping around between different human-administered oracles though, or having some code which polls multiple oracles and takes action based on some statistic applied to the oracles (mean, etc.) But yeah I'm not convinced the oracle problem can be solved.

The article is inconsequential, the report it is describing (and the evidence within that report) is the thing you keep dancing around. The report lays out in great detail all of the activities and connections.

> Someone can commit a crime without being a Russian agent.

Another thing nobody claimed. You have failed to engage in any of the substance. It's just deflection after deflection.

> The core issue here is thinking there's some real moral difference between left and right. There isn't. Think of the political spectrum in absolute value terms. People in the middle are the best people. People on both wings are the bad people.

I agree with this methodology. People should use a different sort function for their outrage. It's like how people fail to compare the number of cancers caused by radioactive release from coal plants vs nuclear plants. The latter seems like it would be more of a problem, but actually the former is far far worse.

Can you provide examples? I have not seen this, and as dissolution of NATO or otherwise weakening NATO was a goal of the previous administration, I am confused at this claim.
Twitter is who you follow. It may take some configuration but all of the other stuff can - for now - be removed.
> False. Or rather, you characterize Twitter engagement in one way, and ignore all the other ways. I, for example, enjoy engaging with smart, good people from around the world.

You don't need Twitter to do that. Arguably, it was easier to engage with the smart, good people from around the world on IRC since it wasn't through the guise of microblogging 240 characters at one another in public. I think it's perfectly fine to characterize Twitter by it's lowest common denominator.

> The key is to a) be careful about who you follow, and b) give 0 care about likes, retweets, etc.

Sounds like it's a fundamentally broken system then, no? If it's incentivizing toxic engagement and behavior patterns, that's an issue.

> Twitter is not really one place, it's a huge network of places, a bit like Reddit, and so behavior and content varies significantly.

No, it is "one place". There are federated networks similar to Twitter like Mastodon and Pleroma where that is the case, but Twitter is one homogenous userbase, for better or worse. You're lumped in with the left-wing pundits, the right-wing trolls and everyone in between.

Generally speaking, this comment kinda makes me sad. Nobody needs to take the bullet for Twitter, of all places. It's notoriously shitty by-and-large, and while some people have gotten it to work for them (more power to you), trying to claim it's a universally altruistic platform if you ignore the bad stuff is simply disingenuous.
a) i think that continuous auctions have a bunch of vulnerabilities and that for exchanges, a periodic crossing might be a better mechanism. this works better for high volume instruments. it does come at the expense of immediate trading

b) is it possible to make all the transactions in a block go "at once"? ie if any tx have some sequential interdependence, kick one and make it wait for the next block?

Well, at least in my day job, a very common question is "how much more data do we need to collect?" or "how long will the experiment take?". A response of "The analysis will be Bayesian, so those questions don't apply" is not helpful. Planning matters!

Even a Bayesian with a proper prior can make good guesses about sample sizes, for example, by saying that they have a goal to reduce the length of the 95% credible interval for the most relevant parameter by 80%.
"The grass is always greener" seems to be a fundamental human condition.

Your friend wished he had focused on his career while the people who focused on their careers wished to have lived more experiences.

Married people wished they were single to enjoy the freedom and live a simpler life. While single people wished they met a SO to be less lonely.

People with stable high paying jobs like many developers, daydream about financial independence and quitting their jobs. While most other people dream of just finding a stable high paying job.

People from 1st world countries complain a lot about their own countries while most people in the rest of the world would literally die crossing the border to get there.

Young people wish they were rich. Rich people wish they were young.

And the list goes on and on. This seems to be something very human... Why do we think so much of the things we lack/didn't do but seem to forget what we have/have done?
One thing that always catches my eye is seeing from satellite views the oddly shaped ghosts and footprints of long-gone railroad tracks and byways, which for decades after (if not a century), leave their mark on a city's streets and blocks. And then happening to walk by it in person on the ground. Like for example, https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7545858,-122.4138878,311m/da... , or https://www.google.com/maps/@37.404972,-122.137255,913m/data...

You can see this in SF Mission and the old Southern Pacific lines, and why some blocks are so oddly shaped, and why there are parks that have the strangest configurations. Out of place diagonal lots, parks, roads. Very hard to erase those legacy shapes.

Similarly, seeing long stretches of green or empty space and realizing that there's a giant water pipe underneath stretching from the Sierras, and that's why there will never be a house built on that <xyz> lot.

(Funny, and I never seem to find among my friends anyone else who takes interest in it.)
Yeah, my main point is that I don't think the issue is memory movement. PyTorch/Tensorflow do care a lot about memory movement, as memory movement doesn't stop being an issue with larger networks.

I suppose you could say it's like the public square in that only 3 of the 10 citizens in that mythical town actually go to the square and debate/decide anything, and the rest just stay home.

But I'm not convinced the folks on Twitter truly have that much power because they have those discussions on Twitter (and most would probably have that power whether Twitter exists or not and the discussions on Twitter from those in power seem to be mostly just an extension of their other media presences). It does make some folks more accessible, and their (curated) thoughts more public in some cases.

I've spent some time recently to curate who/what I follow on Twitter to be more relevant and less hysterical (it still creeps in tho), and that has actually made me more likely to actually engage there now, as it's often with things I'm actually interested in.
He could have put it into developing and deploying renewable energy development and deployment. So, no, that argument doesn't work.

It is possible he thinks he can use Twitter to drive politics, and maybe government spending, in directions he favors.
This is something I like to think I'm decent about. We tend to have a fairly decent work split, but you're right that picking up a bit more would probably be a good thing. It's a bit of a balance because having something productive helps her feel better about the job search dragging on.
Yes, as a long-term Lisper in research computing who knows a bit about linear algebra implementation and compilation. I don't see the comparisons I think are relevant to claims of how much more performant it's supposed to be. It's worth pointing out that you don't get the highest performance (close to peak) for things like normal GEMM on something like SKX a priori, at least from what I've seen. It needs experimentation, like fiddling with block sizes and prefetching.

An example I've asked about previously: When comparing a recursive implementation of an LAPACK operation with OpenBLAS, is that using the RELAPACK(?) implementation in OB, and if not, how does using a similar algorithm in C or Fortran compare? Generally, I want details of measurements.

Only thing NASA seems to have contracted the company for is for a technology demonstrator, of throwing a small rocket at Mach 2.

The article describes it like they are throwing satellites into orbit. In reality even the far fetched plan, is to throw a small rocket into high altitude to save money on the first stage. Then the rocket is what will put the satellite in orbit.

I can't find a single reference to this agreement (yet) in any NASA official site. Not saying it's not real, just that I can't find an official NASA reference yet. It's not yet listed here under the current available ongoing agreements:

I could never get the Seattle Times to ask questions about why the Eastside Rail Corridor, running from Renton to Bothell along I405, could not be used. Their journalism about it looked like press releases from the government.

Though I have gotten hate mail calling me an uninformed idiot to imagine that railroad tracks paralleling the most congested freeway in the state could be used for light rail. No, it must be destroyed.

This isn't the only track the county has destroyed. There's the line from Renton to Black Diamond that was used to stuff a mattress, and one paralleling Bothell Way that was used as a beehive.

> Reading the article, it says that the figures are looking at actual income, not changes in asset prices.

They used actual income... but not for the 3.4% figure that's in the headline. When using actual income (i.e. personal income and cap gains) to calculate tax rate, they ProPublica article said:

> Collectively, the top 400 paid an average tax rate of 22% from 2013 to 2018.

So... where did they get the 3.4% figure that's in the headline? By including unrealized cap gains:

> Then they pay very little in tax when it’s measured against their growing wealth. The top 25 wealthiest Americans got $401 billion richer from 2014 to 2018, but paid just $13.6 billion in federal income taxes, a “true tax rate,” as we called it, of 3.4%.

What's a "true tax rate?", you ask?

> To capture the financial reality of the richest Americans, ProPublica undertook an analysis that has never been done before. We compared how much in taxes the 25 richest Americans paid each year to how much Forbes estimated their wealth grew in that same time period. We’re going to call this their true tax rate.

In other words, ProPublica invented the term 'true tax rate' to represent a fake tax rate that treats unrealized cap gains as income. The Guardian then wrote a headline that conflates the fake tax rate with the real tax rate.

Whenever you find yourself believing something that's not true, be sure to take a hard look at the source who mislead you. You'll find that it was rarely by mistake.
