Phones can detec motion, objects, faces and quite easily and surrisingly reliable considering how small their cameras are. Kinect could probably be great, but alas.
Well, they could have not released anything instead.
I used a self-hosted WhatsApp to Matrix bridge to create a Matrix version of all chats I participated in, backfilled the history and downloaded all media.
> The big foundational lie is that there are no biological differences. This is demonstrably false, but you will not see it, or any of it's many corollaries censored.

People right of center tend to overestimate how much biological differences matter (versus societal forces), people on the left tend to underestimate it. That's been true for a long time. I don't think either point of view is particularly censored though.

We're talking about censoring outright lies (the kind that the Putin government puts out, say)

Just as a heads up, in the stickied post there is information about what the "rules" are for the subreddit. This is the third paragraph from there (https://old.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/comments/gbjetq/welcome_to...):

> If posting for assistance please provide your case number in your post. Moderators will only respond to PMs that have been requested in a post, and unsolicited DMs to individual moderators and chat requests will not receive a response.

Maybe if you try to create a normal post, you can get help faster.
Considering that people are archiving from other types of old media such as video game cartridges, its not too farfetched of an idea. There is probably a lot of valuable data still residing on some old 5.25 floppies
Yes - that's sort of what I was wondering.

What effect would the MP3 compression have on the signal's entropy? He says, "MP3 format was chosen not only for its length..." which implies that he managed to compress it at least a bit - if so, there goes his entropy! I can't see how an MP3 compressor could make any headway against a really noisy signal using psycho-acoustic masking, so I'm guessing that any compression he realized came purely from coefficient quantization, which in the case of a really high-entropy signal should actually lower the entropy.

If anyone knows more about this, please feel free to correct me.
By 'half-baked' you mean 'not * nix compatible' command line. Powershell is amazing.

Remember that Netflix's CEO, Reed Hastings, is on the board of MSFT. This is the same reason used why Netflix for linux isn't available (it uses Silverlight and the linux version doesn't effectively support DRM). The cynic in me would love to think that this jab at Android isn't just a strategic move to help Windows Phone in it's fragile fledgling state. However, my understanding is that Netflix's hands are tied on the issue of DRM, if they don't support it, the content owners won't let them stream, much like iTunes was for music in the early days.
Thanks for sharing. That was an interesting read.
Maybe it depends on your browser. I'm on Linux and a Chrome 9.x nightly, and it runs like a dream.

This is very exciting (albeit obvious and long overdue) stuff, IMO.
I don't think design can be decoupled from "technical" part. All great software companies have designers and programmers working closely in a tightly knit team.
"Local haulers" implies, to me, local industry professionals who would prefer not to work for the Big Two.

Really? The author is advocating extending universal testing to higher education? Because that's working so well in secondary schools... /s

Common core is a failure. The idea of extending that model to cover an even broader, more diverse set of subjects and topics is really poorly thought out. Who's going to design these tests? What professor is going to give a shit about them when their evaulations are based solely on research performance, not teaching? What top school with world-class faculty would ever agree to hamstring itself with a generic curriculum rather than let its experts teach what they know best?

What a terrible idea.
Is it worth the effort to recycle used concrete or other scrap from tearing down buildings in order to replace/supplement sand?
"Beside leaving them alone and let them live in peace without American influence?"

Iran has no intentions of 'living in peace' and that's the whole point.

They are concerned with overthrowing House of Saud, controlling Yemen and Bahrain, antagonizing/surrounding Israel, being a controlling force in Syria and Lebanon, and of course, making Iraq a vassal state and controlling the Gulf.

That's just for starters.

The world would be delighted for Iran to get along with it's neighbours, after all, nobody is powerful enough to do them material harm anyhow.
I was searching crunchbase for a Pakistani company named OBL founded in Peshawar, when I finally caught the bin Laden reference.
Since 10 digits puts us in billions, you're really asking "why would someone do 'CREATE TABLE ... id INT AUTO_INCREMENT' when they could use a BIGINT?" These days, there's rarely a reason not to use a BIGINT, but I also have a little trouble faulting someone for thinking 2B would be enough when they're currently at 10k.
This article is a little misleading. It’s titled “How Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin Vaccine Works.” Yet the article itself says that there isn’t enough data from Phase 3 trials. Doesn’t that mean that its efficacy is unclear? The body of the article doesn’t do a good job of making this clear. A layperson might get the impression that it works but the data just hasn’t come back yet.

And a past? Coronaviruses have been around in animals for at least nearly a hundred years.

The domestic cat edition (FIP) isn't too rare. Many cats live with it unaffected their entire life. It's a type of virus, and viruses are everywhere.

Just because a virus hops species doesn't mean it does anything interesting to/with that species. I'd wager most mutations are benign.

I migrated my family to Signal when we had our first kid. We live pretty far from our home town and see family ~2 times a year.

I created a signal group. Invited the entire family to it. Used it to keep everyone up-to-date during delivery. Now that group is where I share photos/videos of my kids growing up, and where we organize our trips back home. Nobody has complained.

tl;dr: procreate and use your children to align incentives.
If it only gets 3 years of support you can always unplug the TV from a network after 3 years and use it with a Roku or Fire Stick or whatever.

Plus I'd imagine if you stick with mainstream apps you'll probably be okay even without security updates though of course there's no guarantee.
"The content of Whatsapp messages aren't accessible by Facebook."

How do we know for sure?

It is closed source. We have to rely on reverse engeneering or whistleblowers inside FB.
This is very a reasonable stance, consuming many sources is necessary to understand what sides of an issue may exist. And news organizations may accidentally report incorrect information (hopefully they swiftly retract it when they learn differently).

But shouldn't we not continue to consume sources that have made malicious mistakes? Even if the maliciousness was a bad outside actor feeding incorrect information to ethical reporters, isn't it likely that such a source will make a malicious mistake again? When the consequences are on the scale of directing the country into a fraudulent war, how can we ever trust their reporting on anything of consequence again?
> I consider that sense trivial, in that it won't ever affect our economic situation.

It is already affecting our economic situation in a very real sense and it has done so catastrophically on several occasions in the past.

Imagine a world where oil costs $500 / barrel and you're looking at a totally different world than the one we live in today. That would completely alter the balance of power.
Common Lisp's integers are transparently multi-precision. There is no need to work with a separate type, or to use special syntax for writing bignum tokens in source code.

Bignum support first appeared in the MacLisp dialect in 1970 or 1970, one of the main predecessor dialects of Common Lisp.

According to Gabriel and Steele's Evolution of Lisp paper, "bignums—arbitrary precision integer arithmetic—were added [to MacLisp] in 1970 or 1971 to meet the needs of Macsyma users".
You're right. This monkey gets to earn banana smoothies all day. I'm sure it is quite happy.

Much less happy are the animals we eat, those confined in zoos, and many of the pets people lock in tiny spaces.
A JIT compiles as the code is run, while an AOT compiler compiles before the code is run:

(compile (lambda (x) x))

Compiles the lambda immediately.

maybe so, but it's still brilliant
My GPS cycle computer does something similar - plots a random route close to a fixed length.
That’s an incorrect notion of “definition”. The concept of a snapshot is that you make a copy of something at a moment in time. That’s one concept, one definition, one meaning. You may fight over the details of the definition or the implications, but at most it means that you need to revise the definition a little bit, not that you need to add a new sense to the word.
Funny you mention meshes. I’ve always thought that self-organizing maps are a good model for neurons, more so than deep neural networks.
> It was programmed in an unnamed foreign country where the title “Miss” is used for a child and “Ms” for an adult female.

This feels like a requirements problem, more than an inadvertent bug. It makes me wonder why someone would decide to guess age (and thus weight) based on the name string alone.

My comment was not simple machismo.

The United States has no need to seize any assets. We simply stop defending the roads, at which point the insurgents will begin seizing any convoy that attempts to get through.

My statement was not one of opinion. It was one of fact. If the Chinese do not behave as the United States wants on those stretches of highway, the highways will cease to be accessible to the Chinese.
I recently came to the realization that anything I put off until 'tomorrow' or 'the weekend' won't get done because there is always new stuff to get done when tomorrow or the weekend shows up. Your best bet is to just do it right now, or tonight, or as soon as you get off work or to devote yourself to using a reliable time management system.

Take for instance this weekend, I had a whole vision of what I was going to do over the weekend and what I was going to get done, it was great, it sounded like a perfect plan, except none of it happened, life happened. I got caught up doing other random things that are on my ever expanding todo list. That doesn't mean I didn't have a productive weekend, on the contrary, I got a ton of stuff done, and I'm sitting here on a monday morning calm and relaxed knowing that I had a full and productive weekend and that I'm ready to get more stuff done this week, whatever it may be.

The best advice I can give you is to get a solid time management system like GTD setup where you dump everything, and then stop trying to allocate your time exactly, but rather think of things in terms of actionable steps on a variety of projects, so you can just jump in and get something done. I find having a specific project that I've been hyping up getting done all week rarely gets done because you've thought about it too much. You just need to act.
Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head here. I firmly believe a good platform could be custom built in a short amount of time and allow the business to realize the value of their data months or even years earlier than would happen going the route of a big vendor's solutions...however the bureaucracy within a large organization would always red light such an effort. To put it another way, no one ever get fired for using SAS.

Saw Rodrigo Jordan at Stanford a few months ago. Really impressive guy, seeing him speak in person about his experiences and lessons was thrilling.

Most of the topics are the same in this video, some of the content differs though. The talk I went to focused on some different stories than the GoogleTalk, but nothing's lost from the message/lesson. Definitely worth watching -

edit: Rodrigo Jordan is Chilean entrepreneur and climber. Led the first successful South American team that climbed Everest, and if I remember correctly only the second team to ever climb Everest's Kangshung face (East side)
We're still a few years out from the 2000th century.
Black Lives Matter is still allowed on Twitter. Dozens of people have died from their protests and riots, not to mention hundreds of businesses vandalized, looted, and set afire. Ditto Antifa. This ban is utterly political, which, depending on how "libertarian" you are, may be fine. But the precedent is not a good one in my opinion.
If you say things big tech doesn’t like, you get deplatformed. This applies to everyone.
It's the publisher vs platform debate.

Private communities can moderate. Public utilities (Social Media) should not, but currently do. Social Media companies call themselves platforms while acting like publishers. They do this while using engagement-driving algorithms that intentionally stir up dissent because [0]negativity increases engagement.

Twitter pulling the string on the money sack and pretending like they care. Thanks for all the impressions orange one, good luck.
While I can understand Twitter's move, I think a permanent suspension of the account will do a disservice in the long run, at least the way it is implemented right now.

Each and every tweet by him now simply shows "This tweet is unavailable." See the legendary covfefe tweet, for instance: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/86976699489946828...

I would prefer if they marked his account as read-only. Maybe after the inauguration.
Correlation doesn't imply causation.

Trump wasn't President in the '00s and early '10s either. We didn't have a President advocating sedition to maintain his power. We didn't have a President soft on white supremacy as an acceptable political position.

If anything, I'd call the causation reversed---people using social media to organize violence has the companies in charge questioning their own culpability in violent outcomes.
Yeah, because both sides are equal in value and sanity. This is not about both sides. This is society taking control of itself again and deciding that this cancer on this society will not be allowed to grow further. Unfortunately it happened much later than it should have, so there will be collateral damage. But this hatred must be removed if society is to progress any further.
A fine point, though keep in mind though that Mini-computers were themselves sort of the PCs of the mainframe era. A story I heard, possibly apocryphal, is that Ken Olsen named DEC "digital equipment corporation" rather than , say "Digital Computer Corporation," as a way around IBMs lock on central purchasing at universities, national labs and corporations for any "computer" purchases.
No, that's not at all what's happening. f.readlines() creates and returns a full list of all lines, loaded into memory. But set(f) uses f as an iterator, which reads chunks of the file and yields one line at a time, which can then be inserted into the set, de-duping on the fly. Your parent is correct (and clever).
I don't think I've seen an Australian university library that wasn't open to anyone to walk in and browse the shelves. When I was in the UK I found it incredibly odd that most of the university libraries required ID, and made it quite difficult to visit.
Today when I deployed a dependancy from NPM was unavailable due to Github being spotty, and somehow the deploy process let the app start without all dependancies, causing it to 502 everywhere.

Given that all the ivies have need-blind admissions for American students, and half are need-blind for everyone, the odds are about as good as they are for anyone else. Also, Stanford isn't an ivy.
Well codecademy has a course to make the airbnb website. You code it yourself to be like airbnb, you don't just copy and paste their code.
I agree but I want to add that this is a phenomenon across many entities in human life, over a period of time.

Cities changes with time and people who stayed in that city decades ago, when they visit recently, will get the similar impression. Any one who saw a phone in late 70's and saw it now, will get the similar impression. Even jobs also change where designation/title may remain same but underlying technologies,tools,working hours,team composition, challenges,expectations on delivery ...etc all may change.

In conclusion, this is natural phenomenon w.r.t time, where top remains same and change happens below.
> Under normal conditions, I use 350 kWh/mi (kilowatt-hours per mile).

Say you get a good rate and pay $0.10 per kilowatt hour for electricity. That means if you charge your car at home, you're paying $35 per mile to drive. That doesn't seem right.

Possibly it's watt-hours? That'd be a per mile price of 3.5 cents, which seems about the right order of magnitude.
It's an uncomfortable truth that Tor is enabling people to engage is activities that are the result and cause of human suffering, and it's something that doesn't sit well with me. That's said, Tor is a noble project with a noble cause and these side effects aren't unique to Tor. Anything that gives people true anonymity is going to result in people using it to do things most people would find disturbing.

There's a parallel here with the "guns don't kill people" sentiment that's often brought up when people call for stricter gun controls. And here I fnd myself exhibiting some cognitive dissonance; I could say "Tor doesn't exploit and abuse children, people do" and I believe that, but I also believe that guns are inherently bad and I would like to see stricter controls. I'm not sure there's a solution to this moral puzzle and I find myself actively choosing hippocracy. I'll keep on advocating stricter gun laws whilst vehemently opposing stricter controls on the freedom of information.

So if anyone has a logical or philosophical solution to this mini moral crisis of mine, I'd really love to hear it.
I think the truly fascinating thing about acid is that is does have an impact but it's somehow not that jarring, given what it is.
MariaDB is MySQL compatible. Had they gone with Cassandra, they would have had to replace the PHP-based MediaWiki software with something else. So not only the database, the entire software stack would have to be replaced as well.

Also, speaking from a few years' personal experience with HBase / Cassandra, the support for non-Java languages on these two NoSQL databases is small (though it is getting better.)
All cars use more energy to climb hills. If you'd like to factor that into your Tesla planning, check out https://evtripplanner.com/ -- It shows the Vacaville/Truckee segment as taking 173 rated miles to cover 130 actual miles.
My history was off, thanks for the clarification.

Nonetheless, the concepts revolving around CComPtr and all that good stuff can be easily seen in C++98 / STL. STL Strings for instance automatically clean themselves up under the principles of RAII.

Auto_ptr<>, the first smart pointer, also was standardized in C++98. While crude and primitive by today's standards (especially compared to unique_ptr<>'s explicit RValue semantics), auto_ptr<> shows me that even in the mid 90s, people understood the principles of RAII.

At least, if you were a learned C++ programmer.
Actually I also just remembered that I do, in fact, reduce the highs a bit on both "Hajo's" virtualization engines to make them sound closer to my living room stereo system. The "NEW AUDIO TECHNOLOGY / Music" engine should give more highs at the expense of also introducing a bit more room echo.
Estimated cost both ways is about 600EUR, that includes fuel, tolls, a cheap hotel half way. Brussels - Bilbao is always an expensive flight for some reason. There's Ryanair airports nearby but it's a huge hassle and we'd still have to rent a car upon arrival.

”It's a dataset that's any twentieth-century dictator's dream come true.”

That’s what I am thinking too. Together with devices that listen to what’s said in every home, services that track your every move on the internet and the real world, automated facial recognition and the ability to read all your communication the capabilities we have now would make the Nazis, Stalin or the Ingsoc party if “1984” very envious. They could only dream of having this.
I'm guessing this is the same as "adding another column to a db schema should not break your app". So basically don't iterate over objects (or iterate and only use keys you recognize) and you are fine.

That does not seem at all weird to me. The client side of it is the same as "don't SELECT *".
What are you basing any of that on? There are a lot of places to go and a lot of ways to use cryptocurrency. Why would someone be 'watching their back'?
Well, its use as a medicine. And it was overturned.
