What exactly Trump said to spark this? All information I found is rumors, that he posted a video asking people to respect the police, stop the violence and go home.

Anyone has seen the video and texts in question and can tell me?

EDIT: mass downvoting people, seriously? I didn't even defend Trump (or Biden), I asked a question, I am from Brazil and wanted to know what happened.
That doesn't give you access to move containers in and out, the doors are very small. Cargo conversion can be done but it is neither cheap, quick or easily reversible.
Am I the only person that gets bugged when people use the word cluster for a single computer?
I mean, there is all of those championship rings and stuff that the Patriots have. And the stats about passing yards, etc.
There's been a lot of work in this area over the last few years, clustering and tagging text and video. Facebook even has an open source library for it called Starspace.
e^(ct)/e^(c(t - 14days)) = e^(c*14days) = k = constant, with c the growth rate. While you are right that, in an exponential growth scenario, the number of recovered cases is smaller than the number of currently active cases, the factor is proportional to the growth rate which is worst case constant, but likely going down over time due to quarantine measures. As such we have theoretically enough recovered cases if n_infected/n_critical > k. For the most critical age group an estimated 10% of infected require ICU care [1]. Thus we need k < 10. With a 1:2 ratio for serum we get k < 20. Likely not everyone will donate though and constant factors in this equation will end up mattering but the exponential nature does not kill the idea in the manner you indicate. However, it still requires scaling production exponentially. This is true for all other drugs as well though.

They gave me a good pretext for talking to me and caught me 30 seconds out of bed. Still. Lessons learned.

Just sharing another example.
Intel tried and failed at jelly beans at least once in recent history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark

I'm not sure that is a worthwhile segment for them to try to compete in though. It's high mix, has a ton of competition, and doesn't necessarily leverage their fab strength.
Bazel rules are supposed to only read specified inputs and write specified deterministic outputs, and they’re skipped if nothing changed. Maven plugins can do whatever they want, and you decide whether to publish what's on disk.
Also, I'll throw out there that TLA+ is nearly as handy for Rust as it is for C++. Safe Rust will keep you from data races that break it's safety guarantees, but there's more to correct use of concurrent algorithms than that. TLA+ is a great tool for modelling those other concerns if you need to apply a little more engineering rigor to some of those problems.
>"Or maybe they figured it was only worth trying once, and not really worth pursuing further when it became clear that she would not cooperate."

Well then FSB had treated her way better than FBI treated Ahmad.

As for the main point - assholes (or let just say criminals protected by respective government) are still assholes. There is no reason to be proud that you did not fuck / killed as many.
Having integrated five other cryptocurrency exchanges, I echo this sentiment. I hope it sets the bar.
I don't have a link, but there was a comparative study done on children in Norway during the debate on lowering school starting age (it was 7 years when I was at school - it's 6 years now, and there's some pressure to lower it to 5).

They compared salaries and other factors based on age at school start and found basically no statistically significant differences later in life between those who had been oldest and youngest when starting school.

They did not look at things like health or stress levels, though.
I don't get your point. Since TI pulled out, Google can't fix a software bugs (in webview for instance) which have nothing to do with hardware ?

[edit]
Just saw this comment that make sense :

You've selected the phrase "a Technological Singularity" and stretched the metaphor to create your definition.

"The Singularity" is what most people are discussing when this phrase is used. That requires something more encompassing than small occurrences, and would have society-wide impact.

Personally, I don't think it will actually occur. By "it" I mean the point where individual humans are eclipsed by a technological gestalt beyond ordinary human comprehension. This is my opinion, but I believe economic factors will retard technological progress enough that "The Singularity" cannot occur. Our society will either tear itself apart, or the disparate technologies will be so fragmented and incompatible as to not come together as a whole.

For examples, I'd cite the space program and the current state of computer operating systems.

If stress from school caused people to die earlier I think we'd know by now.
It's a traditional form of address.

The proto-US people kept slaves at the time. That's worse.
> A TS is an event that occurs when AI advances to the point where its humans can't keep up with understanding and/or predicting it's decision-making process and/or the results thereof.

I always thought the AI Singularity moment was when an AI was advanced enough to improve itself, or to write a smarter AI.

It would then lead to a feedback loop that would create incredibly intelligent AIs very quickly

I don't like your definition at all, as it's already been passed multiple times (like in your go example)
Very good post. The two meanings of "consistent", and the generally different ways database literature and distributed systems literature approach the world, are a really common source of confusion.

One way out of the confusion is to use different words. For example, using "linearizability", "serializability" and "strict serializability" may cut down confusion. These terms have complex-sounding names, but generally very approachable definitions. Aphyr's blog post on different models is a good place to start: https://aphyr.com/posts/313-strong-consistency-models

Another set of terms that approaches a different part of this problem is Harvest and Yield, which can help explain real-world availability and consistency (http://codahale.com/you-cant-sacrifice-partition-tolerance/). Unfortunately, the original paper just seems to add to the term confusion (http://brooker.co.za/blog/2014/10/12/harvest-yield.html).
Sounds a lot like "VHF omnidirectional range" (VOR) which dates back to 1946.

The sooner we get away from the asinine practice of using a Windows format for this, the better.

It looks like all the current browsers support .png favicons, so we can at least cut out .ico at some point in the near future. .svg sure would be even better though. Someday, hopefully.
I'd say its not just possible, but more likely probable. From the article:

> United Against was founded in 2008 by a former CIA director and a group of retired diplomats to advocate against the nuclear Iran.

Nobody, let alone a former director, retires from the CIA. They just get a cushy desk job in some off-book toe-the-company-line operation.

Isn't this how every non-profit works already? You just help them with a donation, they filter and figure out projects.
They simply need masks to protect their patients. They can never be sure that they themselves are not infected, and they treat a lot of severly ill (non COVID-19) patients in hospitals. If they spread the virus, those patients are at very high risk.
For anyone looking for something similar with JS, we wrote doctest-js: https://github.com/supabase/doctest-js

You can put hobby experience in LinkedIn summary. Also you can make a real world project like for e.g. Covid019 tracker in React and can post it even as a professional experience.
I think a lot of people here would be content with leveling out the massive subsidies. This isn't a situation where the airlines, aerospace companies, and their supporting web of companies aren't getting plenty of direct subsidies, loan guarantees, tax breaks, and so forth already. It sounds like you think it's a zero sum game with the only important metric airline ticket prices? Railways don't offer airline tickets so that formulation neatly does away with them unless we support rail enough for it to grow to something competitive.
Maybe you are just trolling, or maybe you actually believe in what you say. I know I used to believe the "it's above games journalism" point of view, as I found it had plenty of merit.

In case it's the second one, I have to tell you something: it really isn't about truth in games journalism. I know a lot of people think it is, but it truly isn't. Gamergate's sword are its misogynistic views and its coordinated attacks, while it's shield is the "games journalism" angle. If you truly believe you can separate one from the other, trust me, you can't.
I completely agree and, for the record, I am not interested in creating anything that I consider a scam. However, this article is not so much about scams and more about slightly shady tactics. Letting people pick up a $10 recurring charge without their knowledge (à la Zynga advertising) is very different from opting them into your mailing list by default.

Zynga makes a perfect example of one of those businesses that really abuse dark patterns, btw. And they are surviving the reputational damage just fine, since most of their users don't seem to care about their reputation, or aren't savvy enough to figure it out.
Wow. This post is a revelation for me. I have frequently explained to people that have bothered to ask (and probably a few who didn't) that the reason I love programming has a lot to do with my love of language - the elegant syntax, the rules and their exceptions. Despite rigorous math training (I'm an electrical engineering student), until now I had never been able to see it as more than a means to an end. I hated math classes so much, but they allowed me to do interesting things with electricity so I put up with them. On occasion, I have maybe been struck by a part of what this person is referring to, but this puts it together in a way that I had never really understood before.

Thanks.
Can Microsoft sue companies that release Kinect-based products that are not licensed (and specifically required to work on the xbox 360)?
Ethics, morality, and the law aside, I think this is a personal choice about who you are more than anything else.

I think it also reflects on fundamental competence. "Quick and dirty" answers seem to me to be favored by people who don't have the wherewithal to do things right and are unable and/or unwilling to develop it. It's the only means for some people to "get ahead". So, to me, "ethics" is also an indicator of competence, which might be one of the best arguments I can come up with for eschewing folks with shady ethics and preferring to do business with folks who are very above-board/white-hat: If they have to resort to such measures to make their money, what other corners are they cutting because they aren't able to do things right?

The original item stated that he gets local broadcast channels. So, presumably the major networks and maybe one or two independents. No cable.
"The guards are required to check on PFC Manning every five minutes by asking him if he is okay. PFC Manning is required to respond in some affirmative manner. At night, if the guards cannot see PFC Manning clearly, because he has a blanket over his head or is curled up towards the wall, they will wake him in order to ensure he is okay."
I would say with 100k you can looking at investing in startups. Think YC also invest some 13k on each startup entrepreneur, I guess you can work along that line.
The comparison of early maths (algebra in particular) to spelling is spot on. It also reminds me of a somewhat wry observation from one of my mathematics professors: that if we taught spelling and grammar exclusively through crossword puzzles and competitive Scrabble, many fewer people would learn to spell and write grammatically.

The analogy is to teaching algebra through endless, dry repetition of problem solving. Some of you won't get what the big deal is; you're the ones who are good at 'crossword puzzles'.

Did anyone parse the earnings update to find the source of this assertion?

"Revenue from the businesses Ms. Mayer created or acquired are growing at an annual rate of 80 percent,"

Growing as in revenue or usage or both?
So maybe the new name comes from the fact that you serve with it.
The Australia Card was very nearly law - the Hawke Government went to the 1987 double dissolution election on it, and won, and the scheme was only defeated because of a small technical error in the pre-dissolution legislation which deferred the commencement date of the legislation to regulations (which can be disallowed by the Senate, where the coalition had a then majority).

Because the legislation couldn't be changed when it was presented to a potential joint sitting, this technicality is what killed it. Not popular opposition.
Oh, maybe we do record the information then. As i'm pretty sure that I've sent that sort of information to the Fed Police before.

Anyway, I do support that that information is stored. And is used to investigate the right sort of crimes that do need to be investigated. And through the proper channels that the right people are requesting to look for that information.
I love the cheat gem.

This reminds me of the german house build on Grand Designs that went up in a few days. Prefab is definitely quicker.

You can apply factory optimisations to prefabricate - and store materials.

This reduces dependencies, and thus delays, and also increases speed. It reduces injuries, waste, environmental impact, building disturbances for neighbours. The quality is also improved.

Make a modern factory at every site where you want to build something, or have the modern factory send prefabricated parts?
Step 1: find a group or movement

Step 2: find the individual in that group of movement who says something crazy

Step 3: make them the defacto face of the group, make the group about them, take everything out of context.

Step 4: ignore everything else.

Step 5: threaten individuals with doxxing them unless they stop talking about things you don't want them to talk about [1]

Step 6: promotion to editor

The energy spent trying to miss the point here is kind of breathtaking.

There existed a trivial mapping of A -> B. There did not exist a trivial mapping of B -> A. Scott was trying to prevent his patients, who had information B, from being bombarded with the link to A. It is not a hard concept to grasp.
Work that involves in-person meetings with customers who are known to not like minorities. (If they're paid on commission, this will happen even without the employer actively deciding anything.)

If that particular minority is strongly correlated to cultural values that clash strongly with the organizational culture. (And said values clash would likely result in slower career progression even if the minority status is deliberately ignored.)

There exist conceivable situations where minority (or other protected) status could actually directly affect job performance, or be correlated to something that affects job performance.
Thank you for posting. I've gone through a similar transition after reading the thought-provoking Accelerando. It will be cheaper for society to experience this provocation and immune response via Accelerando, rather than Ethereum et al.

On the other hand, a wide variety of layers-of-indirection exist in corporate finance and are widely wielded against the rest of society, sometimes aided by millisecond-level decision making such as HFT.

Until such unfair advantages are illegal, would it be better if more people had understanding and access to them, without gatekeeping lawyers? Many comments here are excusably about goose and gander, i.e. reciprocal proliferation.
I think that if the instructors are allowed to be lazy enough to use a test bank, then students can't be blamed for using it as well.

Not allowing yourself to bring in key contributors in the future is an awfully big handicap to accept.

Allocating equity from a large pool, vesting and granting to the original founders as time goes on, and leaving a lot of headroom for future contributors seems like the right play.
Fair point. What I meant was a phone that does calls and texts the majority of the time (no need for 3G) but has the ability to connect to a 3G (or better) network if needed and can share that connection via some wireless means (wifi, bluetooth).

Perhaps I just mean a mifi device.

I kind of like the option of having a multi-day battery life too.
Do a search in other media outlets, even Western ones, it's a major concern.

And yes, China is hurting a bit. Apparently the reduced coal imports are causing issues, but with wine and other food items, they have other countries they can buy from.

China is what? 20x the size of Australia? A little hurt in China means a lot of hurt in Australia.
Fully agree with your numbered points and thanks for commenting.

I checked out your product and I had never seen coloured gradients used to pull readers through long form text. It worked on me, though. Very cool!

Applying my framework, I think you have found a small, but paying market in Stanford and Blackboard. That's great! I wonder whether you could be providing even more value to that market. I don't know enough about how your product is used and how much it matters to your customers, but my hunch is that there are nearby problems they care as much or more about.

Keep slogging!
Always enjoy reading Julia Evans' posts. Learn something new all the time. For instance, I did not know about `nsenter` and `netstat`.
Big time anecdata incoming:

I've been around a relatively large number of studios (more specifically, people who have founded studios), and from my experience, this post doesn't match up to reality.

From what I've seen, there are categories (often deep technical, bordering on academic niches) where studio-ish approaches work--which is why research labs and similar models have existed for a long time. The studio model, however, doesn't seem to confer any automatic benefit to businesses in general. Most studios I've seen have been full of sort of "meh" SaaS's and zombie startups.

At the same time, I've seen friends have a lot of fun running a studio, even if it didn't lead to a slew of giant exits. One man I worked with had successfully exited his business after 15 for a very large sum, spent a long stretch doing angel investing and some advising, and realized he just loved the early stage environment and helping out founders, even if he didn't want to personally build another startup. The studio he founded, which has been mildly successful but not at the level that someone in VC might aim for, has brought him an immense amount of joy and continues to, and the community that has emerged from it is full of some really amazing people.

So, yeah, I don't believe we're entering a golden age of studios in which products developed within them will dominate every niche--with the exception of niches where studio-like models have always dominated--but I do think studios can still be fantastic in a social/personal sense even if they aren't producing Google's.
An interesting research paper, thanks for posting it.

I've recently been fairly interested in smart homes, which (alongside WiFi) often use ZigBee and/or Z-Wave protocols.

Whilst Z-Wave isn't covered in this paper, ZigBee (which runs at 2.4 Ghz - but on higher channels than WiFi to prevent overlap) is covered. If I'm reading correctly, the paper seems to say that many anti-jamming techniques are successful with ZigBee, unlike previous research that concludes that it's usually harder to block ZigBee jamming attacks (ref 21)?
Maybe a shell script showing the inputs more explicitly would help?

echo -e '500 miles\nkm' | gnu-units-executable-name

But I'm pretty sure from reading the post that units prompts you first for 'you have' (units and/or measurement to convert) and then prompts you for 'you want' (units to convert to).
Yeah, I'd love to see this. I'd even consider holding out with my 5S until whatever comes in 2016 if I could have an equally performant device in a smaller package.
You can hardly point to the lack of the incident that the security measure was designed to prevent as evidence to the pointlessness of said security measure.

If no-one's ever climbed over the walls at a prison, does that mean that the walls are "doing nothing"?
This is something I've dealt with as well. My usual strategy, when asked, is to ask what the employer plans on offering and if they push to see what I was making before I'll give them a ballpark figure of what I'd like to be making in the new position (usually what I was making before +10-20%). I've found that in the US in certain industries (such as finance) this question is almost always asked and if you refuse to answer, they'll just find out in the background check and will revoke the offer if they find too much of a disparity in the numbers. I've always been told it's better to be honest about it up front than to have them find out after the background check that you've exaggerated your numbers.
