Without more to it, that is very atypical.
so with all the surveillance in the city they don't know who's been putting these things up?
The resolution and light gathering requirements should be pretty easy to analyze on paper to answer the question "will this ever be usable in practice"? The fact that this isn't done could suggest that the answer really is no, so the authors omitted it.

I'm sceptic that it will ever be even close to usable assuming sensor tech wont improve much and we don't reach some breakthrough in optics, i.e. bending light without huge heavy chunks of glass.

This experiment with huge flash guns and short distances is essentially like identifying the moon in an eye reflection and dreaming of doing deep space imaging the same way. The physics just don't allow it.
I think you are probably severely overstating all three parts of that experience.
I know, and I think they're making the right decisions to make it the best drupal it can be. I was really excited about it 2.5 years ago.

My point is I think the fundamental idea of drupal is obsolete. If it can eke out a few more years of relevance and take market share away from WordPress, all the more power to them,
Because the natural progression of software is to take something hard and gradually make it easy.

The same thing happened with publishing text (handwritten HTML to CMS to blog to Twitter). Each step opens the task to a wider audience it was previously inaccessible to.
Do you enforce the presence of merge commits, i.e. no-ff?
The third author Robins along with Miguel Hernan have a great, free book on causal inference:

As a layman I never understood how the stability/decay of a neutron could be worse when it is unbound than bound. Does it even make sense to call a neutron a "particle" if its internal stability becomes worse when there is nothing around it? Is there any layman explanation of this that might vaguely resemble reality? The only way I can imagine this making sense is to just imagine neutrons and protons as dissolving together (liquid drop model?) rather than as being individual particles. And even then, I thought that model is inaccurate for explaining other phenomena.
But for more regular Joe's, maybe senior engineers or whatever, the previous employer isn't too likely to incur any costs trying to find out who the next employer was? And I'm not too sure if there's a way for a private company to find out who somebody's employer is.

I left a really crappy employer about two months into a three month notice period as it was just pointless drudgery. I just kept a low profile on LinkedIn for a year or so afterwards. Didn't think they would have any way of finding out I joined another company straight away.
yes, trying to stop employer misdeeds is indeed very political.

You can always package it yourself and place it in a repo private to your organization.
You don't - you compare it to "standard of care" (antidepressants, CBT, etc.).

If we can compare an inferior treatment to placebo, and we can compare a breakthrough treatment to this established standard, we can evaluate the new treatment.
Sorry to hijack the top comment, but can the title here be changed please to reflect the reality of the situation. Mastercard are not doing what this title says.

The primary tool of the trade is twin studies.

You compare (identical) twins, who have the same genes with siblings (shares half the genes) and unrelated people.

Most of the people I know from the industry got out after five or so years, and started up their own small outfits, or went indie. Game development sounds sexy and fun, but unless you're at the top of the food chain calling the shots, you're usually an overworked drone. Worse yet, you may end up working yourself to death on a slew of titles you have no particular interest in.

I adopted the opposite approach because I'm a control freak and can't stand working on other peoples' projects. I kept my day job as a programmer outside the game sector, and indie it up in my spare time.

Don't feel bad if you want to bail. You're most definitely not alone in that respect. The way to spin your experience to potential employers is to emphasize how demanding game development is: tight scheduling, zero percent bug tolerance, rapidly changing standards, performance is always an issue, etc.
Well, each of these has problems.

DKIM, which is not widely deployed, typically protects the message, From: and To: headers, and other headers. If this is actually used, you only have to worry about replayed messages (a hacker sends 1,000,000 copies of a legitimate blog post), which is doable. Unfortunately, you can't do anything if this header is not present - even if I have a Yahoo/GMail/... address, which would otherwise be DKIM'ed, I may have sent this message via another mail server.

SPF, which checks that the server sending the mail is authorized to do so, would work reasonably well, or at least hand off the issue to the administrator of the sending mail server. Unfortunately, there are quite a few domains without SPF or which SOFTFAIL all; worse, prank-loving coworkers may have access to the same mailserver.

"Same IP address" falls afoul of the pranking coworkers again, and is a very weak heuristic anyway.

There are at least two solutions that work. The actually secure one is requiring the user to PGP- or S/MIME-sign all mail; the other one is to send back a challenge. Mailing lists managers typically do this - send a message with "Subject: 23dsaf2: please confirm post" and accept any response that contains 23dsaf2 in the subject.
> You just don't randomly change the order of menu items when people expect to see the same order, and you most certainly don't change the default action from something that is used often and is harmless to something that is potentially harmful.

You keep using the word random. I don't think you know what it means, as the ordering is not random. You can keep calling it that, but it's not. They aren't randomly changing anything. They are presenting, it seems, the most commonly used action as the default.

> You can vastly improve the situation without solving every edge case.

Have you considered that maybe your the edge case here? I'm not suggesting they have to make some concrete choice. I'm saying that the default choice should be the most commonly used choice for a scenario.

>I don't see how the distinction is relevant in this context. Are you suggesting that accidentally ordering a book is a good user experience? :-)

No, I'm saying that making it easy to do the common thing is better than solving for situations like yours: the rare, edge cases. For the average user, this could be a better user experience. For you, it isn't. Should they design for you, or for the average user?
I agree with 1 and 3. I disagree with point #2. The root problem with Type II diabetes is insulin resistance peripherally. The damage done to the pancrease is actually a secondary problem. If you cure the peripheral resistance to insulin, you fix the problem. If you add back pancreas, you simply end up becoming hyperinsulinemic and, while that will work for awhile, it doesn't get at the core of the problem. In other words, what you are proposing is more symptom oriented than current cause-oriented treatments.
So like the cassettes are just like 3D models of boxes with a skin applied?

And the phone and laptop are also rendered in 3D, and then rotated and skinned?

It seems like it would be quite a bit of work to make that cell phone in 3D max (mostly the keys would be annoying to produce).

There isn't any clever way of doing the background though right?
actually, another reason i want to leave the video game industry is so i can work in my free time on my own projects without violating these bullshit non-compete contracts.

so your day job was also programming games? can you point me to some of the indie stuff you've made. and out of curiosity - which country are you in?

edit: "day job was also programming games" - i got that you were programming.
The world needs more CEOs like him. The CEOs of the largest companies of the world have the power to really change the world by just donating the money.

Not everyone "can" or "afford" to think of rest of the world because they are to0 helpless to give away the money instead of making ends meet.

It is really difficult to fill the shoes of Steve Jobs and get out of the shadow, and not only he has maintained the dignity of what apple is but Tim Cook has certainly made a name for himself and it is very nice to hear that we have such good people in this world.

Eh we should just kill it with regulation. Emotive advertising is simply a market distortion similar to monopolies or cartels.

It's a double cost to society too since not only are peoples buying decisions warped but the people creating adverts are doing negative work instead of producing more useful goods / services.
I was just remarking to a colleague today how beneficial a lunchtime walk really is. The walk provided:
1. Fresh air
2. Exercise
3. A chance for the eyes to change focal range from the fixed distance of the shitty monitors work provides.
4. A chance to take a brief phone call from a recruitment agent to discuss a better job
5. A chance meeting of an old colleague I had not seen for nearly twenty years as he also took a walk.
6. I was away from the desk when the boss had a crappy task so someone else had to do it.
7. I found a new coffee shop I will revisit
8. I solved a long running problem by being able to walk and think
9. I am sure the stress levels were reduced!
> the attempt to tightly control what YouTubers could and could not say about Shadows of Mordor

That story was broken by TotalBiscuit, a prominent YouTube game reviewer who's generally considered to be part of Gamergate by its opponents and has been under attack by them for supporting it for months. (I believe they're currently trying to get his Steam curator privileges pulled for supporting it.) The gaming press didn't even report on it until over a week after it'd already blown up in Gamergate circles, the PR company behind it had apologized and promised not to do it again, and the Youtubers who took the deal had been scrutinized. Even then, I think TB was the main driving force behind them reporting on it.

The whole narrative about Gamergate ignoring it started a while after the gaming press finally reported on it, so about two weeks after GG got those responsible to apologise and back down from their decision. (By which point there wasn't much new GG discussion of it because they'd won and it was old news.)
At least in Australia, Uber is paying a ton of money in fine subsidisation to drivers.

They are quite sizeable so would be interested if Uber is even making a profit.
This was something that I think will be a bigger deal. They can communicate with one another, and potentially split the processing load. I'd love to play an RTS where my device processes my pieces, I see their backs and my opponent sees their fronts.

Of course, the caveat there would be that my command console would be invisible or hidden still from my opponent. Providing selective vision would make for interesting game possibilities.

Seems like a pretty nice Docker-desktop-ish GUI to me.

One remark:

> Application looks the same everywhere, no mental mapping!

That depends on your perspective. If you are on one OS and this non-natve-looking app comes along, you have to mentally map it for your OS so it's none-nativeness requires mapping to the OS-nativeness.

If you, on the other hand, only work "in" this application and just take it with you regardless of the OS, then you would indeed not need to mentally map the application itself. But I doubt this application is used that way in isolation.

> The tapes contained numerous vignettes of teenage and preteen females, between the ages of ten and seventeen, striking provocative poses for the camera. The children were obviously being directed by someone off-camera. All of the children wore bikini bathing suits, leotards, underwear, or other abbreviated attire while they were being filmed. The government conceded that no child in the films was nude, and that the genitalia and pubic areas of the young girls were always concealed by an abbreviated article of clothing. The photographer would zoom in on the children's pubic and genital area and display a close-up view for an extended period of time. Most of the videotapes were set to music. In some sequences, the child subjects were dancing or gyrating in a fashion not natural for their age. The films themselves and the promotional brochures distributed by Nather demonstrate that the videotapes clearly were designed to pander to pedophiles.

As far as I can find, the conviction was upheld in the end... definitely the right decision.
Have you ever been in a public toilet?
Consumer Reports rankings tell a similar story. In several appliance categories, you have to scroll past at least a screenfull of LG models to get to other brands.
This is really bullish. I wonder what skin he has in game? As author states, uber can do best where owner drives fewer than 10k miles per year.

What about all the rural locations, or people who like to go on long trips?

And I think 50 cents per mile is extremely generous I think uber will charge more than that. Isn't IRS reimbursement rates something like 55 cents per mile? That's basically to cover costs not make any profit.
The one thing I haven't seen much discussion on with regards to cloud based operating systems is the handling of local peripheral devices. Printers, scanners, video cameras, etc. These devices are used by a wide range of users, from someone who emails pictures to their family, to an amateur who wants to shoot their next film project.

Right now, these devices are not very cloud friendly. In general you plug your printer, scanner, etc. into a USB or Firewire port. From there the operating system needs to work with the printer through some kind of driver. With the sandboxing that I've seen with Chrome OS, it appears to be a rather daunting task to support a wide array of such devices.

Another issue is the bandwidth cost. Let's say I somehow make a video camera "web enabled". Instead of interfacing with the PC through USB, it connects through wifi or wired ethernet. From there you could upload your video to a cloud app that does video editing, or upload it straight to youtube. However, what happens though when it's an hour long video of a family wedding? Depending on the camera's storage format, this could turn out to be a giant gigabyte file, and will take a ridiculously long time to upload given standard broadband connections.

Until this issue has a good solution, I see it extremely difficult to achieve this "live in the cloud" philosophy. This is not to say it's impossible, just that it needs to be well thought out.
Right; it was more a comment on the headline than the content.
But they don't have to use the cloud. Meaning native apps can (and in my experience do) leave data on the device which in turn means the user experience isn't seamless from device to device. You're so focused on the technical aspect you're missing the philosophical side of this which is the important part. By forcing app developers to use the cloud you create a guaranteed seamlessness and that's the whole point.
In my experience they do not. I've met quite a lot of masters degree students in Sweden that do not speak Swedish at all. Most are from African countries and South America.
Groupon. I consulted briefly for them when they were ThePoint.com and I thought their original idea for ThePoint was a really bad one and they were going nowhere. Within a few months they had completely changed their business model and were profitable. Then they became massively profitable and Google wanted to buy them for $4 billion.

What I love about Groupon is that in the world of Google they've proven there is still a huge amount of revenue and profit available online.

They are also showing that revenue still counts for a hell of a lot and that pure growth without profit is not the only strategy and may even be a bad strategy.

I also love that they fly in the face of Google's attitude that software should do everything and the main role of employees is to write software. Groupon is a people company in the sense that people in their business deal directly with their customers (the businesses they market).

Groupon are also targeting a hugely unexplored space which is small to medium local businesses that target local customers. They're doing it with boots on the ground (or at least via a person to person phone call) in each city the launch in. So far "local" has been a cluster of servers in a data center and a group of developers. It feels like Groupon is doing local the way it should be done.

I also love that the Google/Groupon deal didn't work out because I think Google's culture and approach would have killed a wonderful business that we all continue to learn from.
You can still use local storage in a cached form in ChromeOS. Given that let me ask you this: If technologies like WebGL give Web apps the ability to work and act like native ones would you support ChromeOS then?
Absolutely. But a little perspective from someone who's already done that is always helpful.
Native apps still "use the cloud". The only substantial difference is the language and APIs used to develop them.
It's not all that clear from the link but I believe they are all online courses so anyone can attend. :)

This is a great presentation on the evolution of transistor manufacturing processes. I didn't know how a transistor worked before watching this video, yet was engaged by the technical narrative of the semiconductor industry overcoming one physical constraint after the other.

When you have the source code available to recompile software, that "compatibility" issue disappears (like for most tools on Linux). It's simply a different approach.
Does baidu have any say in this at all? Were they hacked to include this script or they just passively allowed it?
You know that post down there somewhere in this thread that says that having classified state secrets is the same as having widespread political censorship? That's the kind of gulf between saying the U.S. "conducts espionage" and the fact that it also conducts mass surveillance of billions of people ;)

But I am with you on the broader point, "we're the good guys" was probably meant sarcastically, since very few people outside of Fox news commentators would say it un-ironically about the U.S. (or any country as a whole, really).
The situation seems slightly different from this one. Computer users should backup data they consider valuable. delicious let's you easily export (and re-import) all bookmarks. If somebody never cared to export bookmarks data for years, then ... well.

Wing works the best for me. It is the most "Pythonic IDE" I have come across.
My gripe was with the article and not with what greplin is doing. Details like what you have mentioned in point 1 would have made the article much more useful rather than multiplying some random number from 1998 and expecting the readers to have a wow moment. Some idea about how they actually index the items, how they store this massive data, how the search is done to keep it fast etc. is what I would have liked to read.
Hi,

Well, actually, we didn't pickup Plack from its author. When people started asking about Perl, we just replied with another question: "which framework? how? what?", and we tried extract the most common denominator.

The vast majority told us about Mojolicious, Dancer and Catalyst. There seemed to be a pattern :-)

Regarding the server interface, a lot of people seems to agree over Plack. We were the ones asking "hey, what about FastCGI?" - since I personally never had met Plack before. We were shown the Plack::*::FCGI modules and thought "okay, that seems cool".

Then we had a look at the server options. We had already used UWSGI for the Python stack, and UWSGI has a PSGI module. Some might say that it's a bit experimental, but the authors are awesome people, always willing to fix bugs as fast and efficiently as possible.

Of course, the author of Plack helped us to get everything straight - but paradoxally, he was also the one pointing us to cpanm, perlbrew and basic stuff like Makefile.PL.

Now, to get back to you: what does your app look like? We would like to help and see how we can get it to run on DotCloud!
It always amaze me how little I know of all the machinations that in the end rule everything in my life.

We already have [Static app] in some devices, which apparently play some sort short video recording of static. So now we get static with DCT compression artifacts.

Use keyboard & mouse shortcuts. Want to change songs on spotify? spend some money on a gaming mouse and set an extra mouse button to skip songs. I use a Vengeance M65 and use my thumb to go to next/previous song. I then have extra middle buttons to pause/un-pause.

leaving your hand on the mouse and using the extra buttons is faster than having to lift your hand from its resting position. The way the demo shows they keep taking their hands off. Is it super sensitive that you can't rest your hand on it?

You are not going to replace a wacom tablet for designers.
