Totally impractical. You'd need human level general AI before they could be interpreted and applied, and as Asimov's stories show, they're plenty fallible even with that.

These robots know roughly where they are, what positions their limbs are in, how balanced they are, and what movement they should do next. That's about it. They cannot understand Asimov's three (*four) laws, or even a single sentence of English, and have no choice over their own actions as a whole.
I'm not so sure if it's less secure. Hart is the emergency space used on Wednesday. There's also way fewer entrances.
> I fundamentally distrust any program which claims E2E encryption and is capable of recovering my chat history onto a new device.

I would expect a Signal implementation of this to allow recovering chat history if you restore a backup onto the new device and if you re-enter your PIN.
I don't recall the Tiananmen Square student protestors storming the National People's Congress.

Also, these insurrectionists were armed with bombs and had planned on taking hostages as pictures show.
I don’t believe that we have any court cases that speak to that one way or another. It’s only theory right now.
The only thing that I was 'attempting to address' was that your comment contains a factual error.

Your calculation assumes a family could deliberately reduce their income by $100,000 in order to save $65,000 on their Stanford term bill, resulting in a (net gain of $2,300) but this is not correct. The savings are more like $45,000 (the cost of tuition).
You can indeed, feel free to do so.

I saw a TED Talk [0] a while back about how Git could transform the legislative process and help bring transparency to how our laws are formed.

I've known about the TPP for a while. I tried to discuss it with people and no one had even heard of it.

What if we had a Github-esque site where all of our legislation (and all revisions) are readily available with annotations. Would society be more interested in participating in the creation of our laws? I know I would be.

If I remember correctly, the final use of mine was running a home email server on Debian Linux with a dial-up modem.
A family member of mine got a start out of college working for a medium-sized law firm that sent out cease and desist and etc. notices to counterfeit sellers. They were a 'full service' system that sent notices and handled takeovers/shutdowns of websites, through ICANN and various channels, I believe. The firm did this full time for really large clients (think designer handbags). This was back some ten years maybe - it was long ago that we were wary of the fact that the job was a newfangled remote position, which he nabbed off of Craigslist via a local ad.

All that to say, it's not surprising there is a market for taking care of this problem. I wonder if there are smart folks out there who have made some kind of service out of this for littler guys than the global size clients that firm used to serve.
Oh my the bootdisks. Funnily I recall managing a lot of MS-DOS config.sys and autoexec.bat stuff (we run this stuff for games until 96 or so) but I definitely didn't understand it. Now I wonder were I got the ideas to change such arcane things like HMA or Interrupts from. Game magazines, probably.
Society, current society also called capitalism, is designed not for greed but constant growth. When your goal is not satisfaction but constant growth and you already are a billion dollar company, then it makes you look at all the shady shit you can still do and get away with in order to grow. These companies don't need to grow, if anything they actually should be growing smaller and sustainable if we actually wanted to engineer towards goodness rather than money. The fact that the rich are getting richer while having absolutely no need for it says to me our prerogatives are wrong and our engineering about business is wrong. A lot of the common laws rules and norms around which business is built are insane.

That is to say that if the economy is a mirror of nature, then businesses should be engineered to die. Not to be a going concern forever. After a certain amount of profit is extracted and life is lived, into the grave they should go. Not just as a result of competition, but as a result of system design.

This would then lead to a more evolutionary world and better distribution of power and resources rather than continuous monopolizing and consolidation. Also a different mentality of you can't take it with you to the grave, rather than infinite mindset. It would be a cyclical mindset about finite things, not infinite things. Corporations want to be people, so engineer them like people and less like machines.
A SPA doesn't have to be all the way SPA. It can be a hybrid and I'm not necessarily talking about React/SSR and other new shiny technologies. Can be as simple as an AJAX request. The famous Like button couldn't be a form that would have to be submitted for the request to happen.

A rule of thumb that I usually follow is that for public-facing websites/apps, you have to serve HTML from the server for all the cases you've mentioned. For apps behind a login form, you can get away and actually go very far with a SPA and it will make a difference to the experience if you put in the work.

If you do want to continue your journey, I would recommend checking out Next.js and Gatsby. They're both two great platforms to create static sites, SPAs and SSR web pages using React.js. They def both deserver the investment because building these kinds of architectures have become extremely complicated IMO.
And on the other hand, 1991 saw the release of a pen-based operating system and one of the early tablets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EO_Personal_Communicator
Fair. Still golden if this needs to be done for all contacts of all users?
Drew Neil's Modern Vim is also wonderful. While it introduces a lot of plugins in an attempt to modernize the experience, it also includes some excellent notes on standard features(qf/sessions/etc).

I'll also note it covers both vim and neovim, with nice little asides explaining the differences where they matter.
What you're missing is that software enables entities you shouldn't trust to work at scale in a way that does make it an issue.

Staying very high level, we're primed to think of privacy in human-defined terms in a way. Your mom snooping over your shoulder on what you're typing/viewing at age 12 on your first PC is the cause.

As a result, with tech privacy, we do a notional looking up and looking around, like you are, to evaluate it... ok, I know 20 people have my finsta, I only give out my number to like less than 2 people a year, I don't have a google account so no need to clear my cookies or use a VPN, and so on...

What you're not accounting for that:

- the very small amount of stuff you do let leak out because "most people can be trusted most of the time" gets ingested by that "most" delta. There is one or few very untrustworthy entities, you're right, but they still touch your online presence. This is the difference maker because of the scale these entities can work at (BlueKai is an example).

- Shadow contacts, and so on, are a thing. You get sucked in either way by other's bad behavior
The solution that Markforged uses for this is a modified Peli Case with a hole for the bowden tube. Seems to work pretty well.
Usually ships within 6-8 weeks.
points not discussed well in western media:
1) they do crashing clusters very well based on this paper.
wellhttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.02.28.20029272v...

2) Why packed train in Japan still hasn't caused outbreak
They don't speak despite the high density in train (remember - it is utter silence on public transportation in Japan) and all wear masks.

3) Intensive use of chest CT scan to find out critical conditions. They have highest number of CT scan per 1000 people in the world. https://data.oecd.org/healtheqt/computed-tomography-ct-scann...
Plus, remember, PCR has high false negative and testing everyone is waste of resources (look at Italy. they tested everyone regardless of severeness of symptom and totally fucked.) You can test a lot only if well-prepared like Korea with SARS experience.

4) Compliance
Japan has always suffered from Tsunami, Earthquake, Fukushima, ...etc. They are used to calmly adjust their life without panicking. No toilet paper shortage. They don't get surprised at all with Earthquake with magnitude of 6 unlike Americans in California.
How have they established this has been due to testing rather than something else?
What problems do you have that you'd be willing to pay to have them solved by (non-web) software?
Ditto. [We seem to have about 10% of our listed books in common!]
This sounds like a pretentious question. Shouldn’t we all be with family?
Think of widespread use of masks as a kind of surrogate herd immunity. Not as a surrogate vaccine. It's only
effective in a statistical sense. But it is effective.

I feel the crux of Japanese resilience (vis a vis Western) has been their tendency to consider and act in the group's interest, rather than in own interest.

However, it's far from over and time will tell. Yesterday I saw many people doing hanami, cautiously.
Btw this article was an interesting read on trying to build a modern ventilator: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/car-manufacturers-ventilator...

War time devices must be simpler (easy to make and do field repairs on). We just need the first one.
Where/how is this used? I ask because screeners are definitely a thing.
The fact that Spotify has a main process, 2 "helper" processes and a "WebHelper" process with >400MB memory usage still annoys me any time it stalls.
Sure. What's your email?
I dunno, it'd be pretty hard not to call Fabian Potencier a smart guy who uses PHP for fun. I can think of half a dozen people offhand who I know personally who use it for fun, too.

All generalizations are worth precisely nothing, including this one.

Materialism within Marxism is more similar to the unitive worldview of eastern philosophy than the dead mechanistic sense we associate with the term. It doesn’t deny spirituality. It just asserts that human meaning and spirit exist within an undivided whole.

NZ’s Jacinda Ardern openly said they don’t want to see people to go to negative equity meaning they gonna protect them forever.
I mean I hear what you're saying and it sounds GREAT. It sounds optimistic. And hopeful.

But it also sounds just Option A. "The threat is exaggerated".

For vast amount of land in Canada and Russia to become habitable, vast amounts of land that currently house HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people will become UN-inhabitable.

Either due to sea level rise, or from just heat.

I understand maybe on the scale of our civilization we will survive (Maybe), but not before the unnecessary deaths of millions, maybe billions.

Is that worth it to you? Or do you believe that I am being alarmist, and exaggerating the grave threat?
This tutorial looks amazing. I know what I'm going to be doing the next few weekends.
You could use the excuse that they are transgender...but again, that probably only adds another layer of complication and abstraction, heh...
There are some countries where the taxi drivers will "advertise" businesses by taxing you to them whether you asked them or not. That's pretty much the only way you could make ad-supported taxis work.
If you're working with URI Templates in Java (or any other JVM language that can use Java libraries), I'd highly recommend https://github.com/damnhandy/Handy-URI-Templates
POST is effectively the catch-all verb. There's nothing that violates HTTP spec in having a site that only has one endpoint, `POST /`, that specifies the actual JTBD somewhere in the request body. It's simply nasty and unidomatic.

c.f. https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

I wonder if they'll replace it with IPP Everywhere support? Totally dropping the ability to print out of the box would be disappointing, but I suppose someone could package up an app that enables IPP Everywhere printing. Google Cloud Print might have had more sophisticated discovery.
This has been the trend in Vancouver, BC as well. Property crime under a certain amount has (de facto) been decriminalized, especially if the perps are perceived to be drug addicts or living in the streets otherwise. The main problems here are limited law enforcement budget, and lenient justice system that merely results in catch-and-release operations for the police.
The joke is, two economists are walking down the street, and one sees a $100 bill on the ground, and the other says don't bother going to pick it up, if it was really $100, someone would have already picked it up.
Lessons:

1. Use pseudo name (nickname) for shipping, instead of full name

2. Use company address instead of home one whenever possible

Just think about how many people have to access your shipping data just to deliver an order to you, the online shop, the shipping company, the warehouse, the delivery guy.

It kind of hard to imagine all of them would have perfect bank-level security.

All targets can be populated incrementally. That's part of how GCC's family of -MD family works.
Reminds me of a time when an ISP would provide their customers routers where their default Wifi passwords could be derived from their SSIDs. A free app would allow you to connect instantly to practically any Wifi network in the city.
This part:

"The checks that did clear were thanks to the small fortune Petty made co-founding Roo Group, a video distribution firm."

Stood out for me and set the tone for the rest of the piece. Investors love to believe that success breeds success, but are there indicators for lightning striking versus a sustained success?
I really enjoy the C++ language but am incredibly rusty since I haven't had a job in a very long time that requires the knowledge of use of the language. I was actually thinking about writing my own web framework for fun and learning (a bonus if it became useful but I wasn't holding my breath) but now that I see this I'm going to play around with it and see if it doesn't want I wanted or if I'll still work on one.

Not a huge fan of the preprocessor usage but still very interesting and very cool!
Indeed and Facebook can't tell who's going to so they'll pay more the $150k rather than the $1m. Dunno the best strategy if you think you're worth $1m. Probably take the $150k job and jump ship if there seems a great opportunity or if you feel the need. That's kind of what the Whatsapp guys did - they worked as engineers at Yahoo for about nine years before taking a year off and then doing the app stuff.
Always felt it was a shame that scheme in a grid was abandoned (and last I tried getting it up and running I gave up;I believe the only viable option is to change the gui library - and that didn't seem trivial at the time. I suppose these days one might rustle up an ancient version of Slackware in a docker container...).

Anyone know of something similar, but more up to date?
A number of companies are working on cfDNA (cell free DNA) approaches to early cancer detection. GRAIL and Freenome are probably notable examples.

Far fewer seem to be looking at miRNA, as Toshiba are here. I know of one other in Japan with a novel approach. If any Bioinformatics people would be interested email me and I’ll introduce them, they’re hiring.
Why is 6,300 unamanagable? >500 and 6,300 both cross over the Dunbar number threshold. (interestingly, the per-party size in the US House of Reps is about the upper limit of the Dunbar number, 2 x 250 ~= 500)

6,300 is manageable with modern technology; the capabilities are there to organise and make transparent large public voting system for thousands of politicians that would have been impractical even as recently as the 60s.
>The best solution appears to be to raise the minimum wage to a level that can support a person without government assistance and index it for inflation.

Which person? I contend that the person should be a 4 person family(so that I can throw out the oft proposed $15/hr rate fitting pretty closely with the US federal poverty rate of a similar family after taxes.) Other people say minimum wage is only for teenagers entering the work force.
I feel as partially this happens because older people don't buy into the hype, can read through BS, and won't slave away 70 hrs a week for the same wage.

Younger people are less experienced, have less opinions and in most case less life lessons. Tech companies want to move fast and make money, not question what is ethical.
I find it very useful, It works like a "backend" for components
9900KS still wins in games though, per the recent anandtech review
Looks like it's loading a high resolution timer called nano.jar. http://benchmarkjs.com/
You don't need to know "when it starts", it transmits in a loop, you need to collect ~12.5 minutes of that loop to get the entire almanac. (lousy software _might_ not understand unless it finds some particular preset mark in the loop, but it's not a GPS system architecture problem)
IBM has 426,000. AT&T has 294,000. GE has 287,000. Those are big companies at least in the tech community.
Now think doctors and nurses running around the hospital with this, ticket checker/conductor on Amtrack, a teacher in a classroom taking attendance, anthropologists in the field, mine and oil site inspectors, most importantly think third world's extended health care workers (docs are a few so they train folks to be half-docs and send them all over - millions of them - imagine one doc sitting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia getting real time data from 1000 workers and only bothered when a red flag is raised by a worker tending to a pregnant woman going in labor shortly - UN orgs give a lot of money for infant mortality - as a matter of fact for all 7 UN's Millennium Development Goals).
I've definitely noticed that staying up late (or similarly being awake after not getting enough sleep) harms memory recall, motor tasks, and concentration/logic.

But, lack-of-sleep also sometimes offers a slight euphoria or creativity/disinhibition in thinking. The mechanism might even be the same: certain parts of the brain that normally moderate mood or inhibit certain lines of thought fall asleep on their own. So, the remaining parts of the brain party.
>We need WiFi that is open and encrypted at the same time!

There is currently no WiFi protocol that allows anybody to join the network, while using link-layer encryption to prevent each network member from eavesdropping on the others. But such a protocol should exist.

It boggled my mind, repeatedly, when I discovered that non-password-protected wireless networks don't generate a unique encryption key for each connection. Boggle, I say. Sure, public key cryptography used to be too computationally expensive, but not any more. And even if it were, Diffie-Hellman has been around for quite a while, go ahead and use symmetric keys.

What the hell is wrong with our standards groups? And hardware manufacturers? There are trivial solutions to this, why haven't they pushed them?
Just tested it. Reads fine in ezPDF and Adobe Reader for Android (Adobe even will "reflow" text so that you can size text up for readability, but on the downside the pretty typesetting and formula layouts are lost when you do that, so ymmv). You can zoom to view or even set it landscape mode and it'll adjust to fit width, which reads really well for bad eyes.
It's plain and simple; Having competitors validates the market. Building easy form creation and tracking is one of those things companies just never think about, so a startup like wufoo can fly under the radar until they're considered valuable enough to acquire.
Clubhouse is a joke it won't exist for 5 years there is nothing unique about it Discord does it and was already doing it and soon everybody will be doing it. Clubhouse is a feature not a platform it is a small niche nothing special they can add payments, subscriptions whatever but it won't grow it.

If I was investor I wouldn't put a dollar in it but VCs are putting millions tbh idk why. For example Snapchat was unique because it was first ephemeral social app and it made sense to invest in it and it makes sense it succeeded.

My conclusion Silicon Valley investors are clueless.
Amended translation: Our nervous and paranoid content provider partners upon whose good graces our entire business depends demand DRM before allowing us to deliver content to any platform.
For ORMs, the ORM is theoretically supposed to hide all details of the underlying RDBMS from the developer and only expose a set of common APIs. In actuality, you have to be acutely aware of the subtle differences between the various RDBMS and how they interact with the ORM. Generally the most frequently used functions are fine. But the less frequently used functions (which tend to be some of the most useful functions) may be dramatically different in behavior dependent upon the RDBMS [0].

For tools to generate a schema from code, the common data types are simple since the tooling is usually good enough to handle those common cases. But once you get into the non-trivial types (notably numerical types with custom scale and precision and timestamps), things go haywire very quickly. Another example is that all of the migration tools I've ever used have required the developer to define the model separately from the actual migration code which inevitably causes drift in the schema/migration code at some point.

Anyone that tries to define non-trivial relationships between tables/entities using non-SQL code is usually doomed to strange relationships in the RDBMS that'll make it arduous/near-impossible to ever use a different migration tool/ORM. I've seen some horrifying schema designs due to a near religious dependency on ORMs/automatic migration tools (foreign key references to the same table, join tables lacking foreign key constraints, columns intended to be foreign keys lacking a foreign key constraint, tables lacking in primary keys, etc.).

[0]: Notice how constraints are deferrable and adding comments onto columns are only available on certain RDBMS. https://sequelize.org/v5/manual/models-definition.html
Your observation is consistent with the parent comment. The article says, "accuracy of people’s guesses sharply decreased from the 1970s to the 2000s". Presumably by the 1990s, stores had already begun to sell well below the MSRP.
> Prices on most things have also gone up somewhat substantially over the last 5 or more

Have the effective prices gone up? Or have "normal prices" gone up and discounts increased in lockstep?
