Can you provide information about terms of service before taking my information? It's nowhere to be found. How much do I get? How much do you get? What happens next?

It's like chickens rallying a chicken farmer...

Well, the law firm in this case is basically an extension of MIT's in-house counsel. MIT has a long, long history with them, including whistleblower intimidation and other cover-ups.

The standard ratcheting knot is the rolling hitch, although several people on this thread mentioned potentially better knots for this application. My general trick is to use rolling hitches together with the bow-and-arrow technique. The con

You can do the same thing going around twice. It's simpler, and gives the same mechanical advantage.

Or vice-versa. A helpful guest put in working batteries. A few months later, those ran out. There seems to be a bias for assuming malice.

You're right. My mistake. Unless it's also doing other stuff (e.g. shutting down cores), 1GHz isn't a huge throttle.

by woofie11 7y ago
What struck me was how poor the CPU speed management was. The long-term outcome should have been 1GHz, not 600MHz, in most of the plots. The Pi jumps back-and-forth between 1GHz and 1.5GHz until it overheats, and then throttles all the way

I think I'd like to know how this does without the second layer. Reapplying every 500 flushes doesn't seem practical. For a family of four and two toilets, if everyone goes four times a day, you're talking about reapplying ev

Well, I think there are more basic notational issues too, which you can't ignore; they affect everyone. For example, the way that sharps and flats work makes no rational sense, except in the context of history of instruments and scales

... and even more often, historical artifacts which built up for no good reasons, but which aren't worth fixing due to everyone knowing it this way. Music notation is a mess. I'm not proposing changing it (that would make no sense

I don't think hackability is so much the point as open ecosystem, privacy, and interoperability. iOS wiped the floor with Symbian, and Android wiped the floor with iOS due to being more open than the predecessor. Linux is the most popu

Nope. You get payment and lose ability to sue on your own.

Well, no. They can't afford to say no. (1) Saying no to Epstein isn't a big deal. Saying no to everyone LIKE Epstein is a very different story. This is just the one time they got caught. (2) Endowment is only $16 million per profe

When you meet him, he literally radiates integrity. It's a false integrity. Many senior executives do that.

TSVs aren't just numbers. A TSV might be numbers for the first terabyte, and then include a string, just for the heck of it. I'd call that "dirtying numbers," rather than an removable header which allows you to programma

I think it depends on how YAML is used. Requiring full YAML on an input is cumbersome on users (e.g. if any downstream user MUST parse ANY YAML). On the other hand, a simple format which happens to be YAML-compatible means anyone with a YAM

Brilliant! The algorithm looks pretty lousy. Even so, it's a big improvement. With a really good algorithm, I bet you could get much better results (source: I do similar stuff with a 3d pen). I hope this triggers a rush of researchers

This is the #1 reason I would never, ever, ever use the Google Cloud to build a serious business.

Gerald Jay Sussman. But yes, they're a rare breed. When I asked an MIT professor to name a few people in the Institute with uncompromising integrity, they could only think of three. Jerry and Pat were two of them. In this age, it'

They are there, but they're largely marginalized by the newcomers. I think the deeper problems -- than ML taking over AI -- is the commitment to students, to scientific integrity, and to substance over hype and self-promotion.

Patrick Winston was one of the last of the old-guard of MIT -- the type of professor who genuinely cared about students, acted with integrity, scientific progress, and was the soul of the old Institute. A few remain, but not many. I'm

I am saying, exactly, that it could be, waiting in github's wings with 5 employees. They were exactly that at some point. They started in 2011, and they went for Y Combinator in 2015. They waited, and waited, and then grew. The $100 mi

I think they idea was to pick up the pieces when Slack implodes. Most of these businesses, looking for 10x growth, do so at some point. gitlab and bitbucket ain't github, but as github started burning, they started picking up steam. gi

That's sort of the question. If she came at someone with a knife, and they shot her, it's not too unreasonable. Half the time, it turns out that's what happened. Half the time, it's law enforcement doing something insane

There are quite a few lines one has to cross before subpoenas and similar that don't exist with a cloud provider, employer, ex-wife, contractor, hacker, etc.

Well, we have two notions: 1) Government can't do anything right, and we need no regulation. 2) Capitalism will f-k people over without regulation, and we need maximum regulation. Neither is true. Markets work pretty well where they wo

There's a difference like night-and-day between regulated markets and government-provided services. If I had my druthers, finance, real estate, and health care would be run by the government. If I couldn't get that, I'd have
