Both the autonomous mining trucks [1] and the automated military convoy run on software developed by NREC [2] (a part of the Robotics Institute at CMU), and I have worked on both. It's a very cool place to work and we are hiring. If you have any questions about what it's like to work on these kind of systems ask away.

I went looking for some examples and found these two. The first [0] is someone that tried to post a ``` block, but it's not rendering properly on old Reddit. It does render ok as a code block on new Reddit in a private window.

The second [1] is somebody that posted a ``` block but also indented all lines with four spaces. That renders as a code block with ``` lines before and after it on old Reddit, and as extra indented code on new Reddit.

If you use RES you can look at the raw Markdown code for each comment using the source link.

Maybe you´re thinking of inline code which use a single ` before and after the code content?

Please also note that as founder of Syntience I cannot speak for the other two efforts mentioned on the page. Several companies started using the term "Artificial Intuition" within a three year period. We own all the important domain names :-) and we think we have a better justification for calling it that since we can explain why we think our AN algorithm does what human intuition does.

The only interesting thing with the article is that it comes from msnbc, a company owned in part by microsoft!
I think price is the real key. If it's around the $200 mark, I'll probably even pick one up for surfing while sitting on the couch or toilet.
My grandparents need/want a laptop, and literally all they'll ever use it for is to google stuff. They'll possibly want to upload pictures from their digital camera they never use, but if that's made simple via USB and some cloud based service (existing or otherwise), then this device would be perfect for them. <$300 and I'd get them a chrome laptop. >$300 and I'd get them a cheap windows laptop. My wife is using a $349 toshiba full sized laptop right now, and it does everything she needs. But if I could save them $100 or so on one of these, that would definitely be the way I'd go.
From the Guardian article Oo links to:
Can he see this becoming a full-time profession?

"No, I've got a job in the city lined-up for me. This is only a joke."

I think Markus Frind has shown that you can make shedloads of money from lonely (or horny) hearts, but free dating is a narrower, more competitive niche than Facebook, and anonymous free dating is narrower still. You'd need a serious long term vision to turn early growth for that sort of service into something that will generate more lifetime value than a UCL degree...
How did I know his advice would be a variation of 'do what you love'? I've heard it so many times, but am I supposed to quit my job as a developer that supports my wife and two young kids, and do something that I'm really passionate about, like starting a rock band? That's really tough, my wife would probably leave me and we'd have to move out of our nice, safe neighborhood.

Also - once you make your passion your ft job it then starts to get annoying. I remember when programming was my passion, and now it's just another job - who's to say the same thing wouldn't happen with filmmaking or music?
haha, have we? will get that rectified immediately, thanks for observation
Alton Brown (not mentioned so far in 64 comments, odd) has a couple of thin-crust pizza techniques for the home chef.

Technique 1 involves using barbecue grill turned up high, oiling the grill rack, and grilling the pizza. Technique 2 involves using a wire cooling rack, a pair of pliers to hold it, and a gas stovetop, to toast or char the bottom of the dough.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/grilled-pizza...

My personal technique is to put a pizza stone in the bottom of the oven, turn it all the way up, and cook like that. 550F on a hot stone is not as hot as some people manage, but it will still cook a pizza in 4 minutes and produce a very nice char on the bottom, plus it's unlikely to set the house on fire. It's a dangerous enterprise, however, as any pizza mismanagement will set off your smoke alarms. My pizzas come out looking very much like Mr. Varasano's examples. Varasano's talk about mixing, resting, and kneading is very accurate and correct - it's technique, not ingredients, which produces good pizza dough. For home ovens at 550F, you want something less wet than Varasano's pictures, but still "wet" and slack compared to many doughs that you would normally work with.
The theory that Japan wouldn't have been defeated without the Bomb is contended, at best. A far more likely outcome would have been A) the Soviets invading Japan (leading to Japan surrendering to the Allies to maintain their territorial integrity) or B) massive depopulation as a result of the ongoing firebombing. Basically, they'd either have surrendered, or become mostly irrelevant (like North Korea if it weren't for China).

Yes, Japan committed atrocities in WW2, but the US wasn't the Good Guy either.

There are no good guys in war. It's all just propaganda. And the thing with propaganda is that in order to claim any moral high ground after the war you have to abandon your propaganda and deal with the facts. The US never did that. Instead it dragged itself from one war to the next while pretending to be at peace.

The US is at war. It has been for a long time. Only it has outgrown the need of having an enemy. There's probably a clever 1984 reference in here.

The US has become a servant to its warfare, sustaining a state of war perpetually, moving from one "enemy" to the next, churning out propaganda for itself and for its allies. Except the propaganda has shaped its culture so much its citizens not only barely notice it anymore, they unknowingly perpetuate it themselves. And our advancements in technology allow the warfare itself to become less and less noticeable to them, too. Instead of scared men in tanks, we are demanding casual suits behind joysticks -- because it makes the warfare so much cleaner and easier, for us.

The US isn't a mighty eagle. It's quickly becoming a scared canary in a cage, pecking at buttons to make the scary people go away.
This isn't a product for consumers, this is a product for CPG companies. As a result, I imagine a lot of the cost here will be covered by the companies making the products. If Amazon covers the logistics of everything (making the buttons, managing the APIs, stocking and delivering the products, managing payments) then P&G just pays to give you a "Tide" button.

CPGs will pay a LOT for this because it makes their brands "stickier". I can't tell you what brand of paper towels I normally buy, but if I always bought them through my "Bounty" button, I would always buy Bounty paper towels instead of whatever is on sale at the store.

I doubt this button connects to Wi-Fi directly - that's too much hassle (and too power-hungry). I wonder if Amazon has some sort of Zigbee-like controller embedded in the Amazon Echo that is set up to manage low-power devices like this.
Unfortunately social distancing in some states didn't start until two days ago.
I install and use Cursive, occasionally, but I am waiting for it to ship as a product. Then I will probably buy it. The author has sent me a few emails, and seems dedicated to the project.
Your computer being IPv6 compatible is incidental to the actual transition to IPv6. IPv4 to IPv6 NAT will be used as the circuit that's provided has IPv6 only connectivity in order to support older clients. And then, in order to talk to any hosts that don't have IPv6 support (a large number of them, as in, insanely large number), you'll need an IPv6 to IPv4 bridge (provided by the ISP, transparent to the end user). If done properly, hosts that support IPv6 will start getting traffic as the onsite CPEs and gateways start getting IPv6 addresses rolled out to them (likely to be starting on date X new customers get IPv6 IPs and existing customers maintain IPv4 for the transition period).
Maybe we could also put the laws into source control, be able to roll back to a "known good" state and have a "blame" command for who introduced changes that screwed everything up.

Unfortunately, politics is largely in the realm of emotion. And people hate being proven wrong.
Sorry, I don't know any easy way. I'm good at going the opposite way, but not from VM to CD ;)
I know Vagrant runs on Solaris, but I haven't done anything OS-specific for it, so I'm going to say "no" to this. Hit me up in IRC and we can talk about it.
Better than either of those, I think, would be

allow url("your-url-here")

(with reject or something similar for the opposite).

You could even drop the url method and simply write

allow "your-url-here"

if you only need to allow/disallow based on URLs.
I think the problem is not fluride but chlorine. Where I live (Philadelphia) the tap water tastes strongly of chlorine, I can imagine it imparting a flavour on food.

VirtualBox does not support resizing disks. You can use other tools (qemu command line comes to mind) to do things like this, but it takes a LONG time and is generally not worth it. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in this space. "libguestfs" looks promising for the future, but I haven't evaluated if its useful for your purpose at the moment.
Working on it. Bad news though: VMWare Fusion (Mac OS X) doesn't expose a full API, so doing so there would be hard. VMWare Workstation on Windows does however, and is a target for the future.
What ever happened to journalists asking tough questions?
They do for some areas, such as The Enchantments in WA state. But they have limit on how many lottery tickets can be purchased for each sub-area.
Sorry, the context was missing. The 21% vs 17% was not meant to be representative of overall numbers. I just recall someone minimizing the impact by referring to some income bracket then comparing it to GDP. My point was simply people overestimate how much per capita GDP is growing, so numbers that look similar can represent large shifts.

Anyway, it’s 1AM so I am a little out of it.
Yeah, I'm getting incredibly frustrated with it as well. I block tracking on the web, so I'm constantly doing multiple pages of free identification for Google.

If I were building a bot for a site that uses captchas, I'd just use one of the many paid services that solve captchas. Last I checked, it was ~$0.003 per solve, hardly a blocker. To be honest, I wish I could easily use one of these solvers in my normal web browser...
All good.

And to your original comment. I'd also love to see the government building out solid technical teams for provision of services. I'm also a firm believer that for _some_ government functions, there's a strong argument for "government as a platform". Rec.gov is a great test bed for this; among many reasons it's (mostly) politically impartial, so is less.

For at least the online portion of parks reservation, we really want to be offering availability and booking via API, and incentivizing 3rd parties to compete on experience (UI/UX, etc.).

It gets tricky because this is newer terrain and areas like "who pays for support costs/requests" is still being hashed out.

Note: still important to have the government providing the base layer of functionality. Accessibility is important and capitalism won't solve for every piece of product minutia that government should provide.
Luckily the movement towards a sanity of legible, functioning websites seems to be picking up steam. Let's just hope it continues.
Yes exactly. I don't recommend nvidia.
Brad Fitzpatrick (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Fitzpatrick). He invented lots of cool stuff before he got heavily involved with Golang. It was inspiring to see him talking at Perl meetups in Portland back when Perl was cool.

Derek Sivers is a great developer because he shared his experiences learning (at the time Ruby on Rails was brand new). He's doing that same sharing now with a higher level of abstraction, sharing about how to think.
I was just a casual local user, and didn't have any production use of it. At the time, if my memory serves, images easily got into many GB locally. This was before Ubuntu and others had produced smaller official images of their own.

Fight against government corruption. It'll save billions.
The new def has a problem though:'protected from ... passing it on'. In my country we are told even after gotten the vaccine we should continue with the measures, because one can still pass it on (meaning it is supposed that the corona vaccine doesnt prevent infection, but prevents all severe cases)
That's the teenagers' problem. At the age of 13, it's about time to know that you can hate doing something, and yet still have to do it because it's your responsibility and because you will have problems if you ignore it (just like in adult life).
fwiw, the 1889 pandemic returned in 1890 and even re-appeared as late as 1892 with subsequent waves being more deadly then the first.

> The initial 1890 outbreak subsided after six weeks. However, the disease returned the next year and caused nearly twice as many deaths and also reappeared in 1892. The Registrar General calculated the death toll in 1890 as 27,000, in 1891 as 58,000 and in 1892 as 25,000.

> These second and third waves are worrying given that we are still in the first outbreak of Covid-19. Honigsbaum expresses caution, however. “The claim that the ‘Russian influenza’ pandemic could have been due to a coronavirus is intriguing, if speculative. Certainly, one of the pandemic’s key features was the way it attacked the nervous system, sparking remarkable cases of depression, psychosis and insomnia.” One notable victim was another prime minister, Lord Rosebery, who was laid up for six weeks in 1895 with a crippling fatigue.

> There's no way to prove it now but I suspect the worldwide infection rate was quite high within a year.

Worldwide, that might be hard. But for Europe, there's archival material that helps paint a picture:

> Results: The spread of the pandemic was extremely rapid, with a starting point at St Petersburg (peak date = December 7. 1889). The UK and Scottish cities were hit only 6 weeks later. The mean speed of the front wave was approximately 300 Km/Week. The mean basic reproduction rate was 2.15 (range: 2.04–2.32). The mean peak value of the mortality curves was +105% above the base value (range 10%: Christiania to 221%: Brunn). The highest reproduction rates were observed at Stuttgart, St Petersburg, and Amsterdam.

> You don't really synergize social media with cloud infra.

I think your first-mover and competitive industry points stand, but I don't see how retail and search synergize better with cloud infra than social. The cloud infra business model is (as far as I can tell) just building general purpose computing-at-scale features in a reusable, billable way and selling those to consumers. VM/container/database/serverless/etc orchestration isn't more aligned with retail than other businesses as far as I can tell.

Not mentioned on this page, but a more virtuous campaign to ban a film in Boston was Monroe Trotter's attempt to ban the racist film Birth of a Nation:

"Ironically, Trotter had succeeded in tightening a censorship bill but failed to stop the movie. It was a victory for artistic freedom but not necessarily a defeat for civil liberties, since the conflict had nurtured a young NAACP, which gained strength in the ensuing battles for civil rights in the coming century. As for Griffith, in an interview he gave in 1941 when he was virtually forgotten in Hollywood, he remarked that “because of the social progress which Negroes achieved” given the oppression they faced, “it is best that The Birth of a Nation in its present form be withheld from public exhibition.’’"

I recently came across this journal article[0]. Basically it outlines how getting off the gold standard leads to where we are today due to a cycle of..

1. Economy isn't doing as well as we hoped.
2. Central banks lower the interest rates.
3. Households and governments go further into debt now that they can get cheaper loans.
4. We get a boom! Asset prices rise.
5. The boom gradually ends as all available credit has been lent.
6. People start paying off their debt, and the savers who they are paying end up saving more and more. The wealthy don't buy 200x as much food, etc...
7. Economy isn't doing as well as we hoped.

One of the key lines in the article...

> In words, this implies that if the richest households’ wealth rises by 10%, the interest rate has to come down by 32 basis points

This comment is really one of my pet peeves. Javascript is absolutely meant to be "used in an OO context" -- everything including functions have been designed as objects since very early on in the language. It does not implement classical inheritance, sure, but classical inheritance isn't a mandatory design pattern for a language to be considered OO.

Functional programming & reactive programming are absolutely valuable, though, and fulfill very real design patterns in Javascript. They're great skills to learn. No one reading this comment should come away thinking that OO is not absolutely important to JS, and that if you try to solve every problem in JS without utilizing it's aspects, you're probably hamstringing yourself without need.
Does this "self-filtering" explain why women and minorities are vastly underrepresented in STEM educations?
Instead, find a table so that members of the team can eat together as a group — doing so will bring a team together. Therefore, a studio should prioritize eating together. You are bound to learn something about your colleagues or yourself.

I'm not confident. I'm saying there could be a way to mitigate DDOS that we don't understand yet.

It's unlikely, but possible.
Xfinity says your wireline speed will not be impeded by others who are using WiFi via the xfinitywifi shared service. Since DOCSIS 3.0 has no limit on the maximum number of channels (source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS#Bandwidth_tables ), I believe in order to make that claim, they have to allocate additional channels to the xfinitywifi traffic.

BUT OP will only double his bandwidth if he is purchasing a rate less than or equal to the actual realized throughput of his WiFi connection, somewhere from 50-90Mbps.

Additionally, all Cable modems have some kind of throttling because the speeds offered by ISPs (30x5, 100x8, etc.) are not evenly divisible by the per-channel rate of DOCSIS 2.0/3.0 (38Mbps Down, 27Mbps up).

It should not be surprising that the societies most prone to toxic individualism have largely abandoned or forgotten the way children have been raised for thousands of years, in favor of ways that reinforce and perpetuate that toxic individualism.
That's now how the dormant commerce clause works.

It doesn't matter that a state law may affect a business' ordinary business practices in a way that affects interstate commerce. What matters is that the state law does so in a way that discriminates against interstate commerce (meaning that different rules are applied to out-of-state businesses than to in-state businesses).

Thus, if the law applies equally without regard to whether the transaction is intrastate or interstate, the dormant commerce clause is not implicated.

In this case, the CA net neutrality rules apply to all ISPs providing services in CA. It does not require them to apply net neutrality rules to non-CA customers. Therefore, the dormant commerce clause does not apply.
That's the problem with bald, the pretty much the only 'stereotypically attractive' archetype you have is fit muscular action man.

Sure you did; you were just passive-aggressive about it with that "to be polite" bit at the start. You're the one who took the dialogue to this level. I'm just more direct.

> the dollar amount required to reverse all of the effects of the disaster

Holding the debate hostage with demands for physical impossibilities is definitely a red flag in a conversation partner. There are other adjectives to describe it but I think the one I've already used is apt. Anyway, I'm sure you don't mean this, or wouldn't if you would just think about what you're asking for for a second. Since I can't seem to get a thoughtful, honest answer out of you, continuing this is probably not productive . . . although that was probably true several posts ago.
