You can run it in a VM, but at that point you're already settling for a sub-optimal experience, so why not try a alternative that's free and packaged for your OS?
How about the built-in screen reader in ChromeOS?
"Information is only released pursuant to legislative direction, ..." I read that: "...per the direction of lobbyists."
Or rather, history is not a simple straight line for you to trace out and predict as your political needs require.

We can play the same game with other sequences as well, and its still not that convincing

Video games -> de-sympathizing -> murderers -> high crime rate

Poor -> Uneducated -> Republican -> Trump

religious -> muslim -> jihadi

religious -> anti-science -> ludite -> Unabomber(s)

DnD -> Anti-Christian -> Anti-good -> satanists

Just because you drew a path doesn't make it convincing.

I.e., Something could cause something, which could cause other things, so they definitely do cause it, so stopping something stops everything. The song is old.
It will hurt small/medium businesses that can't afford to not exploit their workers.

If your business plan is reliant on having an artificially high staff due to exploiting an artificially low wage, then you don't have much of a business plan at all. "But what of all the poor businesses engaged in a race to the bottom to maximize personal profit?" Let's not think of the parasites here.
That's my experience too. I think it is because for long time desktop icon was labeled "Mozilla Firefox", so they remembered first part of the name and still call it Mozilla.
JSR-310 contains lesser-useful fragments of ISO 8601: MonthDay, Period, Year, YearMonth, Month. They might be useful if they are agnostic to calendar systems, but they are actually just for ISO 8601.

Period is doubly problematic. It is important to realize that ISO 8601 is the standard for interchange formats, not the standard for computer data types (compare to, say, IEEE 754). As a result you need additional information to make it a proper data type standard. For ISO 8601 period you would need the actual algorithm to add it to a time point. What happens if you add 1 month (P1M) to January 30, 2021 (2021-01-30)? Would it be 2021-02-28 or 2021-03-02? Should we give both options to end users? You need a set of pluggable policies to make it work. JSR-310 Period class is pretty lacking in this regard. (In fact, pretty much every implementation of "relative delta" has the same problem. It can't be readily used in the business logic.)
This is a fastly growing messaging startup we're talking about. You may be right, but to me it sounds highly unlikely they haven't had to make even the slighest patch to their server code in 10 months.
I guess you mean High Frequency Trading, but I don't understand your reasoning. I'm an old school day trader as I execute my trades by hand.
In both cases, the left-hand side looks upside-down but the right-hand side looks right-way-up, as if the writer has rotated the page to always write on the right-hand page.

Seems likely they are right-handed, then (or, this comes from right-handed practices).
I don't dispute that assuming guilt before innocence is wrong and in general leads to a worse society. But clearly Mr Gates and his class aren't even subject to the system of justice I and likely you are. It's common knowledge that he's associated with Epstein long after his conviction. That's enough for me to question his credibility.
This list didn't include the craziest drink I found in a Japanese vending machine - a can of Boss coffee latte.

I was expecting an iced coffee, instead it was hot enough I could barely hold the can.
It's called: Value investing, technical investing, speculating.

'RobinHood' style 'investing' means that people have access to 'data' which makes them feel 'informed' but for the most part they are making totally random guesses, which implies a kind of distortion of self awareness.

In other words - they are RobinHood fish handed to the sharks who have more information, knowledge, and leverage via tech, other services and especially access to capital.

But - with the underling caveat that as stocks go up overall, even random trading can yield what is perceived to be a slight win over time as stocks overall go up in value.

This has the effect of actually making a lot of small winners and having retail investors believe they are actually making 'smart bets' when really they are just riding the market trend.

Compound this with the fact there is a lot of noise in every direction, and that random bets sometimes do turn out relatively well - and a 'single win' will be interpreted by winners as due to 'intelligence' when really it was just random (this happens to everyone, even institutional investors who always over-attribute their wins) - making people feel they are 'smart'. Of course, the 'bad bets' are attributed due to 'bad luck' and not 'bad investing'.

With slack in the economy and enough of the proles playing games on the market, it can really do things to stocks (Tesla, Nikola, Game Stop obviously).

In the end this means that it's hard to fathom if it's actually good or bad for companies, and that the analogy is a little bit like playing poker with better players but the pot just magically grows a bit without anyone noticing (i.e. market rising).

It also creates a little bit of Ponzi-ish mania reminiscent of 2000 where the saying used to be 'when your cab driver is giving you stock tips it's time to get out' with the major caveat that the Fed is creating so much liquidity that is getting dumped into stocks ... that it actually just might be rational to pick stocks randomly and even trade them, because the 'harm' of playing against sharks is less worse than not playing at all, and that being 'in' the market, even on roughshod terms, is better than holding cash.

It's a whole pile of weird dynamics playing out at the same time, and I hope it ends well.

Edit: I was corrected by a commenter below, I may have misappropriated 'Value Investing' which can be a form of technical investing, but subject to interpretation i.e. Warren Buffet doesn't make a pure technical analysis of 'under valuation', he's definitely looking at the management team, the viability of the company etc. but of course looking at that in the context of pricing itself. No investment strategy can avoid deferring the price of the stock as many 'great companies' are clearly overvalued at any given time.
I discovered the other day that Android's WebKit forgoes SVG support to save 1mb in the binary... which kind of pisses me off on my Droid, where that is really unnecessary.

But mostly I would say it's timing, you have to freeze at some point and make a stable release.
the .ps tld has potential.
Without digging into the history of any of them: Male? American? People?

EDIT: Also, I'm a bit of the position that imposing these group identities on others is undesirable. If they all refer/referred to themselves as "Black" all good, otherwise I find it harmful to construct these lines between us unless in a particular context where the specific meaning is clear and it serves a valid purpose. Right now I feel it obstructs more than it clarifies.

I avoid referring to anyone by ethnicity or "race" in the general too fwiw (unless in a very specific context, like somebody getting sunburnt easily because of their skin color or being discriminated against because of somebody elses impression of it)
Let us know if there are any other Cloud Storage services you want Terafyle to support.
> Advertisers will probably want to use AR devices to superimpose their product logos on the real world, thereby advertising more at a lower cost. No need to rent billboard space when you can beam your corporate logo right into the eye of the consumer.

if advertisers did this, they have to somehow pay out to the consumer something of worth - free stuff. otherwise, i m not gonna let an advertiser beam anything into my field of view!
OP points out that warp 1 is supposedly speed of light and yet some how warp 9 being 1000 light years per year is somehow not impressive enough. I reversed the calculation to point out that warp 9 = 1000 times speed of light. And want to know what part of it is not impressive enough or misleading.

And by the way OP did not directly point out that warp 9 is 1000 times speed of light and my intention was to point that out to make sure they did not get confused by their own calculation which might have led to their underwhelming impression.

Seeing OP's response to one of the comments below (warp 9 factor = 834 ) validates my assumption that OP was lost in his own calculations for a moment. Only they can confirm.
Project natal videos were also amazing.
Yes, all the time. I lost the count but I'm probably in my Apple 5th power adapter. During the same period, I'm still using the same Dell power adapter with my Dell laptop.
The hindsight bias of this statement is almost comical.
It's floating around in the usual places, including bittorrent.
Oh, note that @voodoomagicman was right; 4% for one coal plant was off by a factor of about 100, mostly b/c I overestimated how much coal it used.
If you haven't had the chance to read "The Art of the Metaobject Protocol" [0], I highly recommend it. It deserves to be mentioned anytime something like OMeta is mentioned.

Is there anything simpler/cheaper that can go into a wall socket and be queried over bluetooth? (or join an existing wifi network)
I wonder if Spacex would ever use Blue Origin to launch Starlink satellites.
A whole lot of us post our papers on our websites. Those that don't are typically afraid of getting their employers in legal trouble, or don't know how to set up a website beyond the faculty bio page that their department makes for them.
I grew up hearing that a chicken nugget was filled with a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect it to be filled with. After seeing the 'pink slime' video, I often wonder why fast food chains wouldn't just use plant-based alternatives. Surely growing plants is cheaper than raising livestock. And if it's not, than it's at an enormous moral cost in how we treat our livestock.

At minimum, it's _crazy_ to me that McDonald's does not have a veggie burger on the menu. Why?
I'm playing the guessing game because I believe the FreedomBox will happen (more than 0.9 probability within 5 years). We have the hardware and most of the software. The final set-up should take a year or so, then we just have to sell that. And selling will be easy. Who wouldn't want a bit of personal cloud at home? We don't even need to overthrow Microsoft, or eradicate Windows. No coercion is required, except with some ISPs.

The Chinese government collapsing within 5 years? That takes a revolution. I assign less than 0.1 probability to that.
> The only exception is Java.

Most languages can compile down to JVM byte code. I'd say the JVM is a pretty quick beast.
The solution is not: "you're forced to poach" - the solution is: "you're not allowed to collude."
The fins turn and are powered by hydraulic fluid. When it ran out, the fins stayed pointing in a certain direction, which meant the stage couldn't steer. Then it hit the ship.
> Specifically, by learning to not care about the women in question or the interactions.

Well, at least some fear of rejection is fuelled by caring too much. 'If I ask her out and she says no then she'll hate me and they'll hate me and I'll hate me and I'll want to die and I'll curl up into a ball and retreat from the world and die!'

Sometimes one does have to learn to care a little bit less, in order to get the chance start to learn how to genuinely care for the real person, not the made-up person in one's mind.
The hydraulic oil is not used as a 'fuel' to burn but to control the actuators for the grid fins. So if you lose control because you run out of hydraulic oil the last bit of the descent will be uncontrolled. So they almost made it with enough hydraulic oil, which means that next time the grid fins will work all the way down, which leaves a ton of other possibilities for mishap (too high a descent rate, rogue waves, barge being slightly at an angle and so on). Makes you wonder why the hydraulic circuit isn't closed, probably they figured an open loop system is more reliable than a closed one (half the gear and no need for a sump, which comes in handy when you have to deal with gravity coming from all directions).
Professor Balaji. Your course is one of the best I've ever took. Thank you so much!
"I'm hoping that my daughter will embrace her inner geek and want to change the world."
And what if she don't have an inner geek...?

You didn't waste time. You lived. And now you are judging the younger yourself, and saying "I made mistakes", but you can't know what life would have been if you studied maths. Maybe this article would have the same title, and end with "Don't make mistakes like I do, follow your heart and study art".

But we love to have girls in IT. Welcome.
Out of interest, was that the ambient temperature or was the thermometer placed above the source of steam?
By the most optimistic timeframe, it sounds like Google might be ready as soon as 2.5 years from now. (based on this article: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/147940-google-self-drivin...)

They might now be at the point where they have to pick a winner to start integrating. Their engineers have already been driving these things around for years. They probably already have a v1.0 release date in mind.
Ok, maybe so. But its pretty easy to fool yourself. Did you do the brewing? Then any difference in color/particulates you notice ruin the experiment.
I'd have to agree on the gender role issue. I'm a father of two daughters and want them to be whatever they want to be. I don't agree with the statement that everyone needs to learn how to code, or the fact that language and art are a waste of time. If everyone knew and did the same things, the world would kinda suck (and finding a good paying job would be impossible.)
for every "literally" we lose we gain a "twerk" AND a "jeggings" AND we steal (and give our own connotations to) a "kawaii"

English is very much expanding. Orwell's jackboot may be coming but it will be a literal boot not a lack of words.
I believe that GP's point is that it demonstrably did not require lightning-quick reflexes to override: a normal human driver with normal human response times prevented the accident. No one was hurt or killed. Presumably this incident is an important bug that will now be fixed.

That's the best possible outcome, no?
I forget the name, but Paypal has a system where they will handle transparent CC transactions (ie, user enters CC into your form and you submit to Paypal). The catch is you must also offer Paypal as an alternative to manual form entry. I found it through the Paypal developer resources... check there.
Well there are no real details or specifics of any kind in this article. So that right off prevents me from making any type of analysis of the merits of what this guy is actually doing.

Then there is the speculation as to the mental state of the opponent and the attorney. The part about attorney's hanging up on the guy because he's "crazy" and it's "not worth pursuing legal action" is just complete crap. The facts, the potential damages, and most importantly, this guys ability to pay determine whether or not it's worth the time. If an attorney has hung up on him, its because he's a crank.

Look, it's a simple cost-benefit analysis. This guy probably has situational facts that support his case, such that it's not worth it for the opponent to pursue litigation. Or it's possible he couldn't pay the damages anyway and the opponent couldn't take possession of the property. There's lots of possibilities... depending on the facts. You would never know that from the frothy tone of this piece.

Finally, there's the speculative gem that it will never get in front of the judge. Trust me, all those pesky "case numbers" and "laws" that the attorney has been compiling are really going to suck for this guy once a judge sees them.

I could go on and on, and take this one paragraph at a time. But it's not worth it. Long story short, take legal advice from lawyers. Likewise, accounting advise from accountants, design advise from designers, and so on.
"- Open up a password manager when I want to log into something. Oh, I can leave it open? Wait, is that secure?"

The way OS X's "Keychain Acccess" handles this feels like a good compromise. After some timeout (a minute or so) the password gets hidden and you have to put in your master password to see it again.
Edited: Bought the package and attempted to install the games. Of the five, on Ubuntu 10.10 x64:

Braid: Installer was a .bin which gave me some ELFCLASS64 errors, but the game runs. I just can't figure out how to get it windowed, so it's currently centered between my two monitors.

Cortex: Installer was a 64bit bin, installed OK, but the game gives me an error about a missing file when I run it. Tried to touch the file, no luck.

Machinarium: .tar.gz, installs and runs. Forces primary-monitor only.

Osmos: 64-bit deb, installed fine, plays awesome, forces itself to my left (primary) monitor, couldn't be happier.

Revenge of the Titans: Broken 64-bit deb. The Ubuntu GUI for debs threw up a useless error message. If you manually create /opt/revengeofthetitans/full_length_music/ and then install it with dpkg it works. Game runs, and has three different window size options if you don't want fullscreen.
Too late - someone already registered the domain. Rightfully pointing to the story. http://todayyoutomorrowme.com
I just installed and ran it- it works beautifully.
I came here to respond to your #1 and tell you I worked in that position, and you are 100% spot-on. I chose to do more and grow/learn, and obviously there were times when you had full weeks and overtime, but by and large, I’d say 50% of people on my team were phoning it in and only putting in 2-3 hours per day. The rest was team meetings, corporate meetings, lunch hour, miscellaneous slack chatter, etc
He is also the most subscribed youtuber at 109M subscribers IIRC.
All the HTML functions are variadic, so you can write

section({},
h1({}, 'text'),
article({}, 'text'),
footer({}, 'text')
)

instead of

section({}, [
h1({}, 'text'),
article({}, 'text'),
footer({}, 'text')
])

It's a choice, but I think without it you would have a lot more array openings/closings, and they would be more spread out instead of the empty objects, which are kept in the same place.
This was my experience with government work and is why I'm now an advocate for small government.
A good company culture is one that the whole company follows. As opposed to a bad company culture, where there is basically no global culture to speak of, and every manager has their own little fiefdoms.
It's impossible to avoid even in groups, because for each fb post the algorithm chooses the top 2-3 comments to show. And it will be ones which have the most interaction (replies, emojis). And the ones who outrage will have the most interaction thus will be shown.
+1 for scrum master. Their mere existence is a strong signal that you are in an environment with a high tolerance for bureaucracy and low expectations for delivery.
I meant change the name from PostgreSQL to Postgres.
As far as I know they were put whole, probably already dead though.

Whether for using as fuel or for rendering their fat, they were not butchered to get only the useful parts and were processed whole instead (which is why the oil was often contaminated with feathers as the article says).

But I wasn't there then of course, and it's not described in "15,000 Miles in a Ketch", one of the best accounts of the era that I know of. Maybe it's better talked about in "Narrative of the Wreck of the Favorite on the Island of Desolation" because the author, John Nunn, was taking part in a more "industrial" seal harvesting operation but I haven't read it yet. In any case I recommend reading at least the first of these books, and the second book is likely interesting as well if one is curious about that era.
A lot of those particularly accomplished people he interacted with specifically pointed him out as exceptional.

For example, from this article about his eidetic memory:

"One of his remarkable abilities was his power of absolute recall. As far as I could tell, von Neumann was able on once reading a book or article to quote it back verbatim; moreover, he could do it years later without hesitation. He could also translate it at no diminution in speed from its original language into English. On one occasion I tested his ability by asking him to tell me how A Tale of Two Cities started. Whereupon, without any pause, he immediately began to recite the first chapter and continued until asked to stop after about ten or fifteen minutes."
I have no stake in this fight, but.. from popular media, and my social bubble, the message seemed the exact opposite. It felt like the brexit people said that they would be able to survive with the same economic level and the ability to make their own laws and regulations, while everyone else ridiculed them with how britain would not even be able to get food, and would collapse into mayhem.
> when operating in the same world and same society.

We simply don't live in the same world and same society. American people struggles are very different from European people struggles, and even inside Europe each country's population have their own personalities, quirks, vastly different history, culture, morale code.

Just look at how the "woke" US medias spinned the anti islamism (pro tip: islam != islamism) laws that were being discussed in France recently. It's almost as if ISIS struggle was compared to African Americans struggle. Some (most?) cultures are just not equipped to deal with other cultures' issues

And even in the same countries, or cities, thanks to social medias and totally biased paper/tv medias it's extremely easy to get sucked in a bubble.
Didn't we hear the same thing from the UK with Brexit about their disregard for billions of dollars of commerce and it ended in completely predictable and avoidable disaster?
Indeed—the archaeologic principle! :)
If Africans decide to redraw their borders based on ethnic or tribal lines we would end up with hundreds of statelets (I am talking about black Africa).
Would you argue that:

Missions before Apollo 11 were not moon landing experiments because they didn't land on the moon.

Projects before ITER (hopes to be) are not nuclear fusion power experiments because the reaction is not self-sustaining.

Movie previews aren't audience reaction experiments if the audience didn't pay for the tickets.

Or are partial experiments to learn something in fact reasonable, normal and necessary?
Thanks for the write up! Just a note: at least in the pytorch collab there are missing includes (numpy and the imread function)

Axel Foley would be proud. Banana in the tailpipe...
Yep, this is a great point. There are a lot of great experiments that show that direct cash assistance is a really good

Valid experiment, but not a full UBI experiment.

That said, I do think these kinds of experiments are still helpful for evaluating UBI as a policy. It's good to know that direct cash assistance is an effective welfare program for a lot of cases. It's probably also worth evaluating where direct cash assistance falls short as a safety net.
Really? Last I checked, HyperV couldn't do video acceleration nor did it have UI integration (drag from one VM to another, or unity). It didn't seem to have a way to flip from one full screen VM to another. I'm not sure if it can completely redirect USB, either. Nor shared folders, without exposing a network share.

The video thing is probably the killer part though. If I could get essentially penalty free GPU inside multiple VMs at a time and easily flip, then I'd have reason to dump VMware Workstation, which is essentially in basic maintenance mode - v11 literally has no improvements, just s few bug fixes.

What did you mean by better integration?
