I concur that it is built with quality above all else which in this day and age is a rarity to find AND they are still in business maintaining that quality. Certainly in this forum of technologists anyone visiting their website would balk at what they see and likely snicker too. However those of us that own a Questar are not using it to look at websites but we are known to occasionally sleep in late from 'spacing' out. ;)
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for a very enlightening response!
FYI for other users: installing Gnome3 via UGR (http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/) will break your unity install.

Ubuntu (and Unity) is still Gnome2-based (I haven't heard anything, yet, concerning a move to Gnome3 for a future release).

So upgrading to Gnome3 is a one-way upgrade and will break your Gnome2-dependent environments. Although I've done a ppa-purge to uninstall the UGR packages and things seemed to have gone back to normal, pretty much.
Linux has had those things for longer that Mac has with the exception of the global menu.

Docks have been around before Finder adopted a dock. Beagle predates Spotlight. Workspaces have existed for as long as GUIs have for Linux and Apt has been around for over a decade, with the Ubuntu Software Center in its present form predating the Mac App Store.

Not sure where you get your info from. Here's the horse's mouth: http://blogs.nvidia.com/2011/04/you-asked-for-it-you-got-it-...

"So today, we are pleased to announce that SLI has been licensed to the world’s leading motherboard companies for integration onto their upcoming motherboards featuring AMD’s 990FX, 990X and 970 chipsets."

Yes, that says they licensed it.
It's in 11.04, you can just install the "unity-2d" package; you should only use the dailies if you're looking for trunk builds that might not be stable
You may well be repeating yourself daily. This "if you're not paying for it then you're not the customer" meme is getting really annoying, partly because it is repeated so often (whenever anyone complains about a free service on the internet) but mostly because it is true.

The trouble is, Facebook don't have any viable competition any more. If someone leaves Facebook in disgust then the consequence is that they no longer use a social network. If a respected site like Ars Technica don't like Facebook's policies then, as you say, they have zero recourse.

Given the above, what would you advise Ars Technica to do, other than complain loudly and hope that Facebook smile favourably on them?
>Just be sure to install compizconfigSettingsManager from the software center

That's great to hear, I had just assumed Compiz wouldn't be available on Unity. I don't think I could live without Compiz Grid and Compiz Negative.

Edit: I see Unity is actually built with Compiz. Somehow I missed that on the Ubuntu Unity website way back when I started reading about it to evaluate it.
> might be heading for the mainstream

I hope so... I could easily have a dozen family members switched over in a heartbeat - if only iTunes were readily available (and not having to use vmware or such...).

Sadly, until then they're S.O.L.
Chargebacks can occur through m-of-n transactions. Arbitration becomes a service, with more competition and likely a lower a cost than a credit card's 3%. What's more, it can optionally be eliminated for trusted buyers/sellers (particularly vendors who earn good reputations for returns and customer service).

Smart contracts probably make more sense for pure digital transactions that don't involve tangible goods or services.
There is an advantage to writing your HTML as well formed XML, and that's being able to parse it as XML if you want to. There's no disadvantage to writing your HTML as well formed XML.

Why wouldn't you do it?
I still think that people need to be told about the medium and often convinced why they should care. I think we'll probably start seeing more networks of podcasters that can pool their resources to produce better content, kind of like what npr has done and what http://gimletmedia.com is trying to do. I'm not really convinced that podcasts will be able to be entirely supported through ads in the future so I think there will have to be some innovation on that front, maybe an all-you-can-eat service like Spotify will emerge...

I wonder if soundcloud will become a major player in this space since a lot of the podcasts I listen to end up being hosted by them.
Nitpick: it breaks the browser's back button
So, never lose a streak again by making it a meaningless measure? Not that it was anything more than a curiosity already, but still. If you're trying to game github to make your profile look better, how do you think it will look to have this amongst your active repos?
Your voting system actively discourages discussion of topics that upset portions of the community, which results in many people not being exposed to those topics at all. Does this seem like a desirable outcome?
The subscription/download orientation of podcasting is so ridiculous. With music and video you just find what you want and consume. I don't want to subscribe and I don't want to download!
In a couple of attempts, I have worked with Flask and Falcon.

My point isn't that there are solutions, my point is that you have to make decisions, all of which are likely to have rough edges.
This was so cringe. Because so nerd. The social skill of "knowing when I speak too fast" replaced by ML and math.

OK, so "knowing when I speak too fast" is non-deterministic, and totally learnable. Everyone speaks too fast when they start out talking in public. It's not an arcane thing you need to discover metrics for. It's just a social skill that anyone can learn. There's a gazillion online tutorials for doing this, I'm not going to repeat any of them here.

Spending tens of hours measuring exactly how cringe you are is cringe. Everyone is cringe when they start out. Accept that, and learn by getting better. Math is not going to help you. Learning to speak at 120 wpm, but without the natural breaks that public speakers have, is just going to make you sound like a robot.

Excellent natural speakers can pause for up to 30s and it just emphasises what they say.

If you really want to do this, go join an improv comedy club. It'll scare the living shite out of you, but teach you how to speak in public for good.
I think both are critical. Quora questions such as http://www.quora.com/I-am-a-creative-guy-with-a-startup-idea... are a great example.

This question gets asked on quora repeatedly and I've answered it a dozen times, but the 212 vote (an counting) answer that I wrote is particularly useless in terms of taking actions, whereas the one I wrote with a practical list of sites and events to check out usually top out at 12 votes, even if they are the top answer.

Clearly a simple list of different places is the best answer for this sort of thing and would probably best in ONE wiki article which can be easily found. Not a dozens of nearly identical questions.
I'm not sure that it's because the other stuff isn't "doesn't seem quite as cool or exciting", I've realized that the buzz associated with fixing bugs or implementing new features is addictive because of the immediate feedback and associated warm glow of self satisfaction when all the unit tests are green, the bug is fixed or that cool new feature is added.

I've only realized this fairly recently and I know that it means a significant changes in my behavior is required....
Yeah, that's one quote I just can't agree with. The amount of value I get out of a good book always hugely exceeds what I paid for it.
According to the article, "However, authors may formally request that a particular RE review their paper. They may make only one such formal request at a time. The RE is given a short time to accept or refuse to review (e.g. 2 weeks) and a slightly longer time before the author is allowed to submit a request to another RE (whether the requested RE has produced a review or not). RE will have an incentive to review good papers, as their reputation will increase with the quality of the papers which they are the first to rate highly."

I think the way this system will "bootstrap" itself is by having a few initial conferences use it as their main submission venue. Basically, this would replace a conference management system like Easychair.
It seems like you've started with an unusual premise (if a foreigner is otherwise indistinguishable from a citizen, he should be granted citizenship) and designed a test to implement it. Instead of focusing on the implementation, I think it would be more informative to explore the premise.

It really makes very little sense to me, especially the "should be forced" part. Who exactly would force all nations to relinquish the most fundamental aspect of sovereignty? To what/whose gain?
I'm sorry, but this article didn't go anywhere close to where I thought it would go. After the first four sentences, it provided me with no value or insight whatsoever.

I think you're trying to say an idea is good if it "sucks", but this is a pretty pessimistic way to view the world and did not result in a pleasant read. I think I figured out what you are trying to say ("just do it"), but your writing style does not accurately portray your message.
Yes, + is definitely more common. Do non-technically versed visitors know and/or care about the different parts of a URL?
Gab is a Christian safe-space

Christ was a Jew, and his followers' safe-space is anti-semitic?
This is purely anecdotal, but I've found driving like a "grandma" makes the drive completely stress free even in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway. Just pick the center lane and set the cruise control to just around the average speed of that lane. Sure, I might arrive 5 mins latter and annoy some impatient people, but it does the trick most days. Hopefully more people start doing this and we can reduce phantom traffic jams.
My initial guess is that it focuses on human depravity, an accessible topic compared to the more explicit theological claims in the latter parts. That is based on my very loose knowledge of the material, though.

The self-righteous urge probably contributes: assurance that "I wouldn't possibly qualify as anywhere near this bad."
I had Spinel Clean and Tidy that let you clean-up your registry and various temp files that were left all over the place back in the Win95 era. Also Spinel ScreenPik which was a screen capture utility.
I, for one, hate the expanded product lineup. I'm looking to buy an iPad and I have no idea which one is best suited for my case. Air? Pro? Mini?
I hear you and agree - reducing emissions is a very important thing to do, followed immediately by stopping all unnecessary power wasting (like with the windows + heating problem).

In the UN's most recent climate report [1], most of the pathways that are shown to avoid a 1.5°C global temperature rise involve both emissions reduction and carbon removal. Since the current technology portfolio is not anywhere near where it needs to be for any of their suggested pathways, we need new solutions (not just Noya's!) to be developed and scaled to give ourselves a shot of removing the amount of carbon required.

There's only so much you can do with a single, front facing camera. For example, automatic lane changes are impossible with this.

Additionally to the fact that I kinda want to avoid rapidly evolving open source software that runs on Android 8 steering my 140km/h death machine.
I don’t think that was the argument was it?

It’s all negotiations. If you think it’s worth taking a $10k paycut for a $5k (for the business)/$12k (as an individual) health plan, then it’s win-win.

If you take a $10k paycheck because you live in Nebraska (and nothing else), and the Company is in SF? That’s just bad negotiating.

If the company is in Nebraska and only pays $10k less and can get plenty of takers locally - then they won’t get many people from SF, and they’re probably fine with that.
> Well, this is one way to deal with spectre and friends.

Aren't these caused by speculative execution? How does turning off hyperthreading help there?
The key risks are:

1. Prevailing interest rates can go way above 4%, leaving you with a less-valuable investment. This is what happened for most of the period.

2. Prevailing interest rates can go way below 4%, so your investment ought to be more valuable, but the issuer retained the right to call in and repay the bond at face value. This is what just happened.
do you mean that you generate a graph database to build a hierarchy for an API based on MySQL database?
Wow, that's a crazy figure (to me anyway). Have you ever written up your experiences anywhere?
Well, here's the photo that should be in the article:

Same here, can't see what's the discovery in this paper.
Yeah I know where you are coming from. I was reluctant to take medication and I'd prefer not to have to take it. But when things get bad it's good to know it is there as an option and it does help. It is hard to talk to other people - can you find people with similar interests or hobbies ?
> Security is exceedingly difficult to do after the fact.

This is an odd application of that idea to me. In my experience it's not to terrible to punch holes in a system after the fact. Exceedingly difficult is patching the holes in a project that starts as Swiss cheese.
I think you underestimate the COL difference because you are settling for inferior housing. Do you at least have a low-end house, such as 2000 square feet on a 0.25 acre lot that is all your own? Around here in the Space Coast area, that goes for $150,000. It can be done with a 5-minute commute.

Software developers get paid better than typical, so they can get fancier housing if they don't have expensive hobbies. See if you can afford the things my coworkers have gotten:

1. a house with canal access to a lake

2. a new McMansion (looked like 3000 to 6000 square feet)

3. 11 acres, building the house as desired (he got sheep and chickens for fun)

4. beach condo

5. a house with a boat dock on a large waterway leading to the ocean

I'm going to guess that at least 4 of those are impossible for you. The cost of 11 acres is particularly entertaining. I went for something a bit more modest, about 3500 square feet on 0.39 acres, but it is just 0.9 mile from work and I'm supporting a family of 14 on a single income.
I always get the same single question: “explain the difference between an inner join and an outer join”. They seem to figure if I can answer that, I know everything I need to know.
Wow, the title of the TC article is misleading as hell. I didn't find an explanation of why it matters. What I did find was a complaint about it being "sunsetted."
The most important picture in this discussion in my opinion is this the cumulative incidence rates for both Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna vs Placebo:

https://postimg.cc/NLQYYgDS

I got downvoted in another thread for this opinion, but given the very obvious efficacy BEFORE the second dose (in fact the effect of the second dose is not observable at all in the incidence rate data), I find it ethically very challenging to accept thousands of additional, preventable deaths just to stick to the protocol and because nobody wants to take responsibility for a unprecedented decision.
Is this kind of happening with the CLIP classifier [1] to rank the generated images?

> Similar to the rejection sampling used in VQVAE-2, we use CLIP to rerank the top 32 of 512 samples for each caption in all of the interactive visuals. This procedure can also be seen as a kind of language-guided search16, and can have a dramatic impact on sample quality.

> CLIP pre-trains an image encoder and a text encoder to predict which images were paired with which texts in our dataset. We then use this behavior to turn CLIP into a zero-shot classifier. We convert all of a dataset’s classes into captions such as “a photo of a dog” and predict the class of the caption CLIP estimates best pairs with a given image.

Unpopular opinion, but I am of the mind that my kid (now 8 yo) needs to get a full experience of learning with writing/drawing/reading on paper before I "shortcut" him to doing it on a computer. Same goes for self-entertainment.
Please do, thanks!
As a counterpoint, I started programming on my own at 7 with no guidance. Mainly because my IBM PC booted into a BASIC window if you didn't put the DOS disk in. I asked my mom to get my some magazines from the library so I could copy the games in them.

So it's not totally odd for a 7 year old (or I was odd, which is quite possible).
I was surprised to learn prolog is used in inductive automation's ignition SCADA product when it barfed out a prolog error after I entered an invalid expression.

I would accept a similar kind of reasoning in an argument towards caution, but not in an argument for seeing what happens with prolonged partial but insufficient immunity. Aside from near certainty that a change to the target protein is game over, we have no idea what other mutations could render immune responses triggered by the vaccines worthless, and I don't see the ethics in an experiment to find these mutations.

I agree, but doesn't this have more to do with the stability of their society, in that period?
Why is owning an Echo device any more of a privacy nightmare than owning a smartphone? The Echo is not always listening/recording; it is activated by a wake word.
The majority of the people in Crimea are and were Russian at the time of vote for annexation. It makes sense that genetic Russians would want to reunite with their people.

>Why doesn't China answer back with similar sanctions?

They want to, but they can't, yet. If you listen to CCP officials the long term plan is very clear: To transform China from an export driven economy to a internal market economy so they don't need others, but currently they need them.

China currently can not consume what it produces. When I was living there I could not buy the cooking tool(blender) I wanted. I went to Europe, bought the Blender(manufactured in China) and brought it to China. There was not market in China for those and they went straight from the factory to the port.

China is not the US, most people in China are very poor. The CCP is very powerful but the country is weak in many ways.

In fact China is closing down a lot recently, expats are going out the country fast.
Why ? When ?
it's an abbreviation to refer to the article being discussed on a site like this.
Windows machines have the habit of waking from sleep after 3 hours, to do whatever and then fail to go back to sleep when they are done. I only use hibernate for that reason, on an Ssd resume is fast enough.

"Thinking things all the way through" isn't a common trait in any 19 year old men I've known over the years, to include myself a few decades ago.

"Oh, man, that sounds like it should work!" is a lot more likely. And, you know, it usually does!

My bad, I looked into my notes again, the Siemens PC-X was the Siemens 9781.
Hey Razorpay team. Big congrats on the launch :) I had a question on competition in the market. Many posts here have highlighted big players like PayU, CCAvenue and small merchants focused players like Instamojo, Gumroad.

Recently, HDFC announced new strategy around cards to be accepted by small players (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/H...). Do you think this will affect you especially in terms of the transaction fees?
The question of what to reveal on official documents comes up fairly often. On the on hand, telling the truth can cause unnecessary trouble, on the other hand, lying is technically illegal. I'm amazed at how often people are strongly incentivized to choose the latter.
Agreed...I don't immediately discount the company because everyone seems to do it, but I wish it would stop, since that does nothing to inform me of what kind of company I'm looking at.
There is actually some controversy over using the term "concentration camp" to refer to the internment. From wikipedia:

"Concentration camp" is the most controversial descriptor of the camps. This term is criticized for suggesting that the Japanese American experience was analogous to the Holocaust and the Nazi concentration camps.[90] For this reason, National Park Service officials have attempted to avoid the term.[88] Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes each referred to the American camps as "concentration camps," at the time.[91] When the nature of the Nazi concentration camps became clear to the world, and the phrase "concentration camp" came to signify a Nazi death camp, most historians turned to other terms to describe Japanese internment.
Personally I find that using the words "rockstar" or "ninja" makes the company that placed the ad sound like a bunch of immature amateurs.

Shuffling money around is also useful for making public what would otherwise be private information. Greece can profess to the world how solvent they are, but the swap market tells a different story.
The red sliders were also not working for me on OS X w/FF 3.6.3 though the slideshow and canvas mask demos were. Figured I'd try with Chrome and Safari and the red sliders didn't work there either.

After I reloaded the page in Firefox, they are working on all 3 browsers. Kind of baffling.

I know how frustrating "doesn't work" is as a bug report but I can't give a lot of detail since it all works now. When it wasn't working, "dragging" would just select text on the page. The "draggable" red sliders would not move.
The free calls are to the USA. I get free calls to the USA from Australia.
I've never used the noprocrast option on HN, but I've tried other things. The problem is that pretty much any roadblock you put up can be trivially defeated.

For example, if I were to put sites like reddit or HN in my hosts file, and point them to 127.0.0.1, it really wouldn't take me more than 30 seconds or so to get around it. It should work as a reminder that, "oh yeah, I should be doing something else" but that never seems to work for me.

In this case, I have to assume that just logging out of HN is enough to get around the noprocrast. Assuming also that when the noprocrast is in effect you can't access HN to log out, it still only takes 30 seconds to kill the cookie(s). Even with some sort of unkillable cookie, I do webdev, so I've got easy access to Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and IE8. Even with something like a flash cookie which (I think) remembers you cross-browser, I also have VMs to run IE6 and IE7. Admittedly, by the time I boot up a new VM to visit HN, I'd definitely get the point that "oh, I should be working" but that's a bit beside my point.

Besides, HN is nothing compared to the time sink that is StackOverflow. There's always something I can research ad nauseum there. I've learned a lot from my procrastination, but I've got shockingly little done.
