There's some decent science fiction written along these same lines.

In 1915 radio is far more primitive than you are thinking and very few people had them. 'Talking pictures' had not even been invented yet. If you took a more technically minded person from New York perhaps, they may be able to wrap their head around what is occurring. If you took a farmer from the midwest they would be totally lost. WWI has not been going on long and the world is beginning a rapid set of changes from manpower to machine power. 1914 is commonly considered the end of the Steam Age.

Next, it would be far harder for them to handle socially than strictly comprehensively. Think of the common language we use when talking to each other. People would almost be speaking your language, but they wouldn't be speaking it at all dude, post that to your blog and tweet it. Even common things like food would seem totally foreign, in the most literal sense. Foods were very regional and always made at the time of eating. Now you can get food from practically anywhere, anytime, frozen solid, and you can heat it up in magic beeping boxes with some kind of magic rays inside.

Lastly, unless you were from one of the always on cities in 1915, the pace of the modern world would wear you down so quickly you'd be in a constant exhaustion. The rate of change we consider normal these days is unprecedented. The speed we travel. The copious amount we are expected to communicate with large numbers of people are not something that commonly occurred in that past. Now imagine a future where brain implants allowed to you instantly connect to devices or other peoples minds all around you. You could understand it, but the feed of information to and from you would likely be something your mind would have issues dealing with, such as privacy something we focus on quite often these days.
This piece is a well-built observation; woven from the oft frayed edges of film and books. Really cool to see someone have moderately concise and clear thought that binds across the many fields interested in their respective piece of the larger "issue" facing our current moment.

It's difficult to not share in the author's ambivalence, if not disdain, for the passing dawn of techno-omniscience.

It's that theme of the opacity of the motivations creating a fear response that's most interesting. Yes, we are enjoying these things because they are designed to be enjoyable, free, helpful. But, how is this going to bite me and/or us in the ass once it's beyond the ability to rein it in?
I've been starting using it on a personal project and it doesn't seem so bad. What issues did you have? (so I can be forwarned)
I don't really get what the author is claiming...

I would have code his `if-mathch` in a simpler way in clojure:

(case (f data-structure)
0 (do-something)
1 (do-something-else)
(do-default))

Where `f` can be a function defined in a protocol or a multimethod, so you can actually implement your own `f` for any data structure you like.

Now, what I am missing ?
Oh, yeah. I did, I forgot I installed the plugin.
I got my current job through Craigslist as well. Their job posting was well thought out, and obviously created by a developer, not a random HR person. From start to hire, it was a 1.5 week process for me.
Arrgh. They're not implementing IPv6; they're deploying it. Implementing it would mean writing a stack.
You are precisely right. By exercising their judgment, they risk everything. Even when morally "right," they will still suffer punishment for having committed a crime, and I agree that this is probably as it must be. Casual disclosure must be aggressively fought. But when right, these men and women become patriots; heroes.
Debuggers, profilers, monitoring tools, etc. have an associate overhead.... how is this a bug?
That analogy does not really hit the mark. Facebook lays claim to the data you upload to its website, and profits from that information.

Sure, it's not quite the same as a financial exchange, but at the very least they should treat their users well -- their virtual monopoly isn't gonna last forever.
Following your line of argument. Is there a career path for independent writing coaches? Would it be possible to create a service for that?
Why add "41Latitude" to the title, when it's already indicated by the domain?
While yes mobile data is getting better (I'm in a similar situation to you paying EUR5 for 500mb per month) part of the problem is that of security. If you want to have a public access point then there should be ways in which you can do this but still isolate users and protect their respective traffic.
I run Ubuntu 64 bit on all of my systems and I've never had to do anything to get Flash to run, not with Firefox 3.6, Firefox 4 or Chrome Dev channel.

Flash hasn't been an issue for quite some releases in Ubuntu.

See the "Every app is a special case" section.
I go to bed often around 4am, and get up at 10:30am. That actually means I'm awake for 30mins more a day then Elle does with her 5am - 10pm routine. And I get to work during my most productive hours - late afternoon and after dinner.

So I don't see how this has anything to do with what time you wake up.

If your day is so busy that you need to find 2hrs a week to allow for creativity, rather than going to bed at 10pm why not hire a cleaner or put extra money on the table and eat out an extra night each week -- all to save time doing chores that you can then spend on being creative?
For the latter yes, why call it a democracy if the majority of people people don't act democratically, the opposite would be absurd. I didn't claim the former at all.
I would too, except that the way you've described it, the script will probably go to Michael Bay.

Nah, I'd go regardless.
The more reasonable thing to do would be to just forget about leap seconds altogether, not to put them elsewhere. Who cares if midday happens at 12:00:00 or at 12:00:30? Those who do need to add their exact longitude anyway, and they don't like time jumping around either. Human culture can adapt to a slow drift (over centuries) of the meaning of 08:00.
Same here, very confused by no plugin option.

When I saw the article originally, got very excited. My 8 mile commute to the office is perfect for something like this... but swapping the battery kinda kills it for me.

It looks like 20-25 of the Forbes "30 under 30" are YC founders or otherwise involved in YC - is that correct?

An incredible achievement if so!
I upgraded SL -> Mavericks a few months ago when it stopped receiving security updates.

It's slightly worse (I don't like mission control, messages is useless to me) but not as bad as Lion (i.e. you'll just need to disable the stupid scroll behaviour, but performance is good).

On the plus side, you get the option to use new software developed for "10.7+" (heroku's db client, atom editor, swift etc)
If you use medium or any other site without your own custom domain, you lose a potential audience. Especially if you have something interesting to say. How many people do you think will click through to the link at the bottom of your medium post?
Also, I can't type ™ (that's a (tm)) without Â appearing before it. Unicode problem? To reproduce, go to a text box and hold ALT. Press 00153 on the number keypad, then release ALT, then post.
No, you can't. If you do something on year A, and file a patent on year A+9 when lots of companies are doing products like yours, those products would count as "prior art" at the time of the filing. Even if such a patent were granted (and it happens, on occasion), it wouldn't likely survive a challenge in court.
I have many happy memories of typing in games with my dad into our Apple ][. We'd get magazines with the source code printed in them (which just sounds bizarre to me now).
No.

If your function does "return <some local var>", as in

Foo xyzzy() {
Foo ret;
/* do stuff to ret */
return ret;
}

then the compiler can rewrite it to be something like

void xyzzy(void * _ptr) {
Foo * _ret = new(_ptr)Foo();
/* do stuff to *_ret */
}

where the function-local variable that gets returned is actually just constructed in the place that it would eventually be returned/copied to and so doesn't have to be returned at all.
Unfortunately it's about two years behind the language now. Otherwise I'd have one hanging on my office wall...
I was about to post the exact same. A retina display on the iPad 2 would be 2048pi×1536pi, which is nearly double my MBP13" resolution on a 9" screen (and almost the same as the 27" cinema display resolution).

Retina display certainly won't happen. As rbranson mentioned, no one produces screens anywhere close to what the iPad 2 would require for the "Retina" tag.
No, it IS my primary source for tech/startup/entrepreneur news but not 'general news'.
Right but NASA also gets to make use of their previous work when
developing Constellation or whatever the new thing is called. We
wouldn't have gotten this far without NASA. At the same time however,
NASA's space craft development process needs some sharpening. Whether
that's due to bureaucracy or congressional pork, something needs to change.
28 and some change, but "pour moi" it's a hobby, although I am taking it very seriously.
Funny, my first was similar, in Apple ][ BASIC. When I was in 7th grade, a friend (still to this day) and I had a typing class which used Apple ][s. One day we had a substitute teacher in who knew absolutely nothing about computers. I decided it would be funny to prank her so I wrote something like:

10 PRINT "GOVERNMENT ACCESS ONLY: THE FBI HAS BEEN CONTACTED"
20 FLASH
30 GOTO 10

I called her over with a worried face and said "I don't know what happened!" I could see her heart skip a beat as her eyes bugged out.

We quickly started snickering and admitted it was just a joke. She laughed it off and was a good sport about it.
+1 that's one of the most awesome books out there.

> Married couples are allowed to file separately if they wish.

Filing separately doesn't help in this case - the brackets for for "married filing separately" are at half the married filing jointly income levels, so our $125k/person couple would pay the same rate separately as they would filing together.
Its not that I need jQuery, its that has such a large user base and vast amount of plugins. It makes rapid development of dynamic front end elements so darn easy.
Yeah, my tablet has a single core ARM CPU, and a 1024x600 display. Subtract the space taken up by the on-screen keyboard, and working is not much fun any more.

Also, I like having a physical keyboard. With a tablet, I end up using one hand to hold the tablet and one hand for typing. :-|

Like I said, on different devices the situation might be quite different, but my tablet is no good for working.
From Play Store. I think version varies with device.

On WhatsApp site there's still your version.
You should be able to find her by searching the book's fulltext for, IIRC, 'Jungian' and 'woods' and 'suicide'/'accident'.
The difference between arrest and detainment is one of the troubling issues in these kinds of stories.

He would have been better off if he had been arrested.
You'd think "professional journalists" would understand the world they live in a little better.

People need to be reached specifically where they spend their time consuming information.

The world doesn't sit down at 5pm in front of their TV to see what happened in the world today.

I'm a little surprised that room is only filled with "professional journalists" on a day to day basis.
I’m not worried about that at wrt courts; they already know how to handle hearsay and log files and other digital evidence subject to tampering. I’m worried about social media and news wrt deep fakes. With today’s media climate I can see this being exploited to trash someone’s reputation or spin a narrative way faster than anyone would be able to reliably prove the fakery. Imagine someone faking a video of you using racial slurs. By the time it can be demonstrated to be false, the damage is already done. And with cancel culture today companies might have already shut down your social media profile or business and you’re screwed. Or someone on Twitter doxes you and you get murdered by a mob. This isn’t hyperbole; there are horror stories about false posts on Facebook causing mobs to seek revenge against innocent people.

So the real trick is, how can we turn down the rhetoric so that we don’t get instantly worked up by every fake video that crosses our feed?
They also recently had network issues for three days
This is incredible. I've been wanting a piece of software to stream high quality, low latency mac audio to my iphone, so I can use my headphones wirelessly while working. I'll have to play with it more, but I was set up in mere minutes and it works at extremely low latency.

The fact that this does bidirectional audio is icing on the cake; can't wait to share this with some quarantined bands.

Magic, well done.
While each piece of software may be solid, insecure defaults are totally not unheard of.

I love it for freeway driving. I don't really use it for city driving though. If you would find cruise control annoying on some road open pilot probably wouldn't help you.
The Palestinians in the west bank and Gaza have their own healthcare systems. This was part of the Oslo accords. Plus, any Israeli medic who goes to Gaza is likely to be slaughtered. They wouldn’t trust vaccines coming from Israel anyway. Decades of war and demonization have done their part.

Israel is vaccinating the Palestinian residents of east Jerusalem since they are part of the Israeli medical system.

Needless to say that the Arab citizens of Israel (20% of Israel’s population, many of whom identify as Palestinian) have full access to vaccines.
Whoa, good find! That’s the one I was thinking of, thanks!
I don't think you need permission to post something that a person has said on IRC. In fact, I know you don't.
No, I get the point of the post. I disagree with part of it, and I object to its tone.

The notion that you will do just as good with a software job in Zeeland, or Grand Rapids, or even Ann Arbor as you will in a major metro area is simply false. Below some threshold, you will do worse in lower-populated areas than in larger ones, because of labor mobility issues and reduced competition. Employers in small cities get better deals than employers in larger ones; that is, in fact, a good reason to start a company in a smaller city.†

I cited Chicago because it's less than an hour and a half away from Zeeland. You could do just as well in Indy, in Cleveland, Minneapolis, or Des Moines.

My tonal objection is simple: Spolsky was dead on in this post. If you are a junior developer in a back office job at Herman Miller and you are asking questions that indicate you're trying to do career planning, you need to get the hell out of Herman Miller and into a real software shop. They're all over the place in the US, but, sorry, they're not so much in Grand Haven or Davenport or Carbon County, PA.

† Just to head off a tangential debate: if you're at a point in your career where you're asking how to impress your boss, starting a company is probably not your best next move.
Anchoring is a sales and marketing technique in which a marketer "anchors" a prospects expectation about pricing by mentioning a similar or related thing and its price.

You anchored at "Free" -- bad move.
I found the situation to be similar in north america too (ontario, canada and michigan to be specific). There are people that show up to these events and sit on panels and have access to all sorts of funding. They say they can help entrepreneurs without having a single startup under their belt.

That is completely true. It only gets worse the longer you stay in one group. After 20 years of doing 1 little piece of a giant puzzle (of which there is only one and there are no competitors), can you really go anywhere else and be anything other than entry level? And how do you give up $120k for $60k as an entry level guy elsewhere even though after 20 years you should be making $180k.

It is a giant trap for those that aren't aware of it from day 1.
"Pass it over to some other thread"

What you are suggesting here is exactly what Erlang provides for you. Each connection is a light-weight process inside the VM. The VM then schedules these Erlang processes against native threads. The difference is Erlang has perfected and proven that it can do this reliably over 20 years of development. You would be implementing this by hand, and guaranteed to screw up because its a very hard problem and you are not the smartest person in the world.

Hybrid solutions with Evented I/O and Multi-threading end up being the solution, Erlang is a hybrid out of the box.
The next version of RepRap will supposedly draw circuit traces. It is designed to have interchangeable extruders.
I'm not concerned. IBM has an independent implementation, so copyright is not an issue. Oracle is not about to start a patent war with IBM, so patents are actually less of an issue than they usually are with software. The trademark issue is trivial. I'm not concerned about Oracle's IP.
I didn’t say that Apple didn’t “need” servers. I said that Apple doesn’t “sell” servers. Apple doesn’t even design chips for its desktop computers (yet).

Seeing that Netflix is AWS’s largest customer, why is it surprising that Apple outsources servers? They also outsource all manufacturing except for Mac Pros, outsource camera design and displays.

They don’t “produce” content in house. They pay the same production companies that everyone else pays.
>Barry replied smugly that it could do cool stuff like inflating or deflating the tyres while going along at 70mph. She looked at him, open-mouthed, and then asked why in the name of God anyone would want to do that. “Er…,” he replied, stumped.

It's a bit sad the author couldn't take ten seconds to find out why central tire inflation systems exist and what they do. They allow vehicles to adjust tire pressure for optimum performance on different surfaces, including preventing damage to delicate surfaces like farmland. They also prevent a puncture or slow leak from disabling or stranding a vehicle. Rather than performing a quick Google search, the author just assumed "LOL men r so dumb you guys"
The answer to any question of the form "is there a place where all _____ are listed" is almost always "no," approaching "hell no" as the topic gets more general. There are lists that claim to be all-inclusive, but they never are, and they get less so as time progresses.

I will be attending an excellent conference later this month, but I seriously doubt you're asking about massively parallel bioinformatics. You might have better luck specifying the technology area you're interested in.
Another thing to consider: there are a lot of bad companies out there. If you aren't turning down about 1/3 of the jobs that you are interviewing for, you're probably having trouble identifying the good places to work. Similarly, many times it will be a fine company, but just not a good fit for you. No shame in not being offered a job that won't be good for you!

Finally, it's a bit like finding a girlfriend/boyfriend. If you approach the exercise as some way of validating your worth, then you get a bit of a stink to you. Nobody really wants to start out a relationship that way. On the other hand if you are just keeping your eyes open for opportunities that are mutually beneficial things will go much more smoothly.

Ok I’d say look to do the simplest thing you can that increases your score at all, asap. You don’t need to immediately make a friend somewhere. Work on maybe the meditation question, or exercising (by walking) each day. That’s MUCH easier to start on.

Good luck. Report back if you can.
I used this book in school: http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu
Can someone summarize the article/link? I can't view it.
Those are some pretty incredible results. For any single frame I found it hard to find a significant quality loss between the DeepFovea frame and the reference (obviously while looking at the Foveal target and trying to compare peripheral quality), but in motion there was a lot of interframe noise / aliasing / jitter.

While I'm sure they'll improve on those issues I'm currently wondering what kind of visual peripheral trade offs I'd make; if I had a demo in front of me I'd bet that I'd prefer running at higher foveal settings / fidelity with peripheral artifacts to running at lower overall settings / fidelity to avoid them.
Level-wise they are separate though. It should be easy enough to find the proper gain for the reference recording (how loud does it sound in the video?), and then subtracted, leaving any residual energy in that band from desired sources. Yeah, there will be some gain-matching and spatial artifacts, but probably not enough to make things (voices for instance) unintelligible.

Thats actually where any ML component would naturally sit. It would try to basically determine a "close-enough" deconvolution envelope for the reference recording.
The vast majority of cargo planes are variants on commercial airliners and are pressurized. The other class are military heavy lifters, but they can also be used for troop transport purposes, which means they have to be pressurized as well.

In every commonly flown cargo airframe I'm aware of, the crew has the ability to get into the cargo area if needed, which a pressure resistant bulkhead would make very challenging (you'd have to depressurize the plane or have an airlock, and at that point, see "takes a ton of strength and weight you don't have any reason to haul").

There are a few weird, custom cargo planes that aren't pressurized (the Dreamlifter and Beluga cargo compartments aren't pressurized, though the crew compartments are), but they tend to be really weird, one-off designs where it's more trouble than it's worth to design them for pressurization - or, likely, the weird oversize fuselage would have to be far heavier to handle pressurization loads against the flat sides.

If you point to a random commercial cargo transport, it's almost certain to be pressurized. In the 1960s, there may have been some unpressurized ones still flying around, but they'd be at a low enough altitude for the flight crew that it wouldn't be a problem back in the cargo compartment either.
