> From what I read about it previously I think they do actually re-render the backgrounds in post

All the videos and reels I've seen on this talk about "capturing the effects in-camera", so while I wouldn't be surprised if there's some integration and cleanup work to be done (particularly where the wall meets the set), it does sound like what is on the LED wall is what we see in the final footage and it's not just placeholder or pre-viz.
Do you know if it would be possible to get the same font(s) used on the webpage also used in the PDF?
That's exactly it, except here I would say someone stuck their hand in the lawnmower and got away with it.

But people were upset the lawnmower tried to take the hand at all
From what I've seen on youtube regarding British TV plays, they were much much higher budget, and much closer to just a normal TV series/film, maybe with a theatrical dramatic flare, while Soviet TV plays often had abstract "modern theatre" like decorations, fewer or no background characters, other cost cutting measures, much closer to theater in terms of production.
I’m working on https://inflex.io/ which can achieve the data / logic separation of Improv, by putting functions in cells. But Improv isn’t an inspiration. Inflex is certainly closer to it than Airtable though.
This is tedious for someone receiving frequent attention.
What was the maximum capacity over the entire attack?

Even if you held majority for just an hour, it seems you could still build a useful database of identities and their usage. I was trying to imagine how much just an hour Tor snapshot might be worth to somebody.

Maybe? Or no?
I LoL so hard at this one... A fellow Discworld fan!
Sure, my claims are actually consistent with this result. I was describing a partial equilibrium effect while the paper is describing a general equilibrium effect.
iMessage is just too risky.

Reason is that it is also an interface for SMS, and SMS in Brazil is obscenely crazy expensive, some operators might charge 1 BRL per message or stuff like that (for context: 1 BRL is the price of a cup of coffee or of a bottle of water), using iMessage and having it to switch to SMS without you noticing can rack bills that are easily bigger than your wages.
I did not say that the police should have quashed the protest or attacked it violently.

That does not mean that they should have ever allowed protesters to attack the Capitol building while Congress was in session.

It's also important that the BLM protests were not about wanting to overturn the results of the election and install their preferred candidates. The cause that is at least proclaimed by a protest movement matters, it is not just a detail when considering a valid response to it. And even so, any police officers who fought BLM protesters to keep them from attacking democratic institutions, especially those in session, were fully justified.
Very well reasoned and written. Agree 100% on the drastic socioeconomic change upon Austin turning into San Francisco (if that every occurs) would undoubtedly meet with resistance from local residents and businesses who are going to be affected negatively. This similar debacle sorta happened in Amazon's unsuccessful bid in choosing LIC (of NYC) as its HQ2.
[UK] All the school chat for my kids, both for secondary schoolers and for us as parents, is on WhatsApp. Amongst my family WhatsApp is the primary means of group communication.
self hosting is the solution, everyone already got a computer and internet connection.
IPv6 solves the NAT & CGNAT problems.
I'm on the fence about this type of explanation. Individual police, I can agree were overwhelmed and were not trained or ready for this.

But as organizations (Capital Police, Metro Police, FBI, etc.) this event was broadly known to be happening all over social media well in advance of Wednesday's event. There should have been a response as soon as that crowd made it to the steps of the building.

What concerns me is how this could have played out if that rioting group was even 10% more organized than they were. Or if they were intending to destroy/damage the building beyond windows and doors. Could you imagine if instead of just taking selfies in the senate president's chair, they piled up the desks and lit them on fire?

I hope this event sparks some changes in security protocols, because now any extremist group intending to disrupt government or make a bold statement know exactly how to do it and know they'll get far enough to do some serious damage.
Signal is a great service, not just because of the security, but just functionality alone. Being able to make free international phone calls is great, and the audio quality is better than any cell phone call. I don’t “agree” with all of the philosophical or technical decisions behind the app but really believe it’s worthy of support.
> For many people, doing something unique is far more satisfying than dealing with people problems.

These are not mutually exclusive. If you want to accomplish big unique things, you can't do it yourself. You are going to have to convince others that your big new idea is worth doing so that they will help you achieve it.
Its pretty far away from being usable as a true living space. I give him credit for an interesting interior layout but other than that he skipped completely by the hard parts.

Those being fresh, gray, and black water, as he hasn't installed real water using fixtures. That takes a bit more knowledge than laying out some plywood and having a rats nest of wires. Which leads into the next point, I would love to see the electrical panel if any. A supplemental electric system would be good to have plus input for high amp electricity that many campgrounds offer and most appliances require.

Of course that roof has lots of possibilities, provided panels that can be secured for highway speeds can be found, let alone conform to the shape of the room.

School buses are interesting, most conversions are pretty bad like he said, you end up with a submarine effect which can make some people queasy when its rolling.

Modern homes wheels are at times better inside than many homes I have been in. They don't need to cost an arm and leg either. For anyone wanting to travel the RV style their best bet is to rent, as a lifestyle choice go buy a used one.
From the wikipedia article:

"One of the most famous instances of blind testing is known as the Judgment of Paris, a wine competition held in 1976 where French judges blind-tested wines from France and California. Against all expectations, California wines bested French wines according to the judges, a result which would have been unlikely in a non-blind contest."

So, the judges can taste the difference, but they aren't honest unless it's a blind test. That's very different from saying there is no difference...

Now, that people can't "tell a difference in cost" should be almost a tautology -- what moron thinks that what tastes better will be more expensive, all the time? All things being equal, if you can, from a given, source, make something that tastes good and bad, with approximately the same amount of work, you'd think you make more that tastes good, and due to the benefit of producing large quanta, the good stuff would be cheaper?

In fact, if "most people" prefer the cheaper wines, I guess the wine industry people are doing their jobs, and selling most of what most people want. That doesn't mean it's what I (or you) want, just what "most people" want.

Incidentally, my tastes in coffee doesn't correlate very well to the description of what "most Americans" prefer, in the article, but that doesn't mean that I don't see that it makes a difference in taste what beans you choose, how you grind it, and how you brew it. It just means that I'll consistently make coffee "most Americans" would think is far too strong and bitter. No problem, let them drink whatever kind of coffee they prefer. But don't try and tell us there isn't a difference in taste.
Difference is the effort - one click on rate my startup once is different from watching the videos again and again and clicking several links. It requires more motivation than just helping each other out without too much pain to yourself.

Your co-worker was creating a direct translated copy of the original material, whereas in this case it's a caption which is only really usable in conjunction with the original. I think the problem would be if you were actually distributing the original video along with the caption, but in this case only the user-created caption is changing hands.

See eg Rifftrax
Superuser used to matter for viruses that needed to escape detection (i.e. install themselves in the MBR, boot sector, kernel, and/or "embedding area" as grub calls it). Modern viruses are more likely to be targeting the data of users not experienced enough to know what a boot sector is, or why that fluffy_bunnies.doc is dangerous. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a modern "virus" would've been traditionally referred to as a worm, as was the Sasser worm, since they're usually not infecting existing executable code.
The good news is that browsers aren't the issue for us at Urban Airship. The bad news is that it's worse: it's an infinite number of HTTP libraries of varying quality that hit our API. Some from pretty much every imaginable platform capable of HTTP: from mobile devices to VBA in Microsoft Access:

http://help.urbanairship.com/discussions/questions/161-using...

If the HTTP standard allows it, we probably need to support it (or degrade in a standards compliant way) because someone will try to use it.
Love the odd article on economics that appears.
"We manage to get back around 1AM and I’m stunned to see that kids are sitting and talking and playing ping-pong. What’s wrong with them?, I wonder. I just came back from an arduous journey and they’re playing like it’s nothing! I head up to my room, but nobody seems to notice a thing. My roommates are also just sitting at their computers, as if everything is normal"

I know the feeling. My friends and family do not understand my desire to start a company. The rush of creation that one expereiences when they are working for themselves makes all else seem insignificant and minor. Well put.
This kind of thoughtlessness is what terrifies me, more than anything else in the world.

The newbie who's just copying and pasting your code won't read that disclaimer. Or care. It's still irresponsible, even as a toy example.
I have only a vague idea of the concept of the Singularity (and it is that artifical intelligence will one day eclipse human intelligence), but does anyone know if Dr. Kurzweil & Co. have considered the possibility that by that time, genetic engineering will almost certainly have given humans the ability to boost their children's intelligence to astronomic levels? An Einstein in every household, literally. Thus, the Singularity prediction as it stands would be one that assumes that human intelligence is stationary.

In fact, it may well be the case that the first AI more intelligent than current human intelligence is crafted only because that generation of humans are mega-intelligent compared to us and it is child's play to them to craft such wily code! :-) Thus the stationary version of the Singularity prediction will come true, but in relative terms, organic intelligence may still be ahead of machine intelligence (in ways that dumb ol me can only imagine).

But the question that bugs me personally is : will we evolve enough along the moral, ethical, spiritual, and wisdom axes to survive that long? :-(

I am most interested in the set of genes that make each person more ethical and sympathetic to the other's POV. The Golden Rule Gene.
With ACME enabled CAs like letsencrypt, having a domain pointing to an IP you control is all you need to obtain a valid certificate.
China's behavior is a good illustration of the fact that if Nazi Germany had kept the Holocaust restricted to its own borders and not invaded other countries we would have happily sat back and let them do it.
How would that mean anything? It's just a password. A testimony is not anything you utter without context.
The finer points probably require a bit more than that.

If you're already technically proficient in general programming (or Excel), you're likely to pick up SQL quickly.

There is immense, unwarranted filtering of people from jobs for relatively minor things.
Not where I live in Rural Missouri/Arkansas. More of my neighbors drive trucks to work than cars here and "Billy Bob's Dairy Land" is the trendiest restaurant in Branson, the nearest town.
I could be wrong but I think DDG is actually backed by Bing.
At the security theater they are afraid of explosives, not poisons or bio-hazards.
UML diagrams coming soon!
Fair. The topic is often taught to students without broaching the topic of Turing machines.

I think we agree that as a matter of actually building the topic of NP-completeness, nailing down a concrete model of computation for the verifiers which can itself be operated upon constructively is vital.
If they’re listening to their phone exactly like any other person walking down the street might do, then no.

If they were deliberately playing it over a PA system to a crowd, then yes.

You may not like this behavior, but we really don’t want to set a precedent that listening to music at normal volumes in public spaces is a punishable copyright violation.
It's a shortcut, they're not literally invoking "God". It's an encoding of:

We don't know what the optimum is, but we can imagine the complete set of possible things, and from those there will be one that's best. So that's the optimum, and we want to refer to it. We don't know what it is, but we assume it exists, so let's just call it 'God's solution'
PC isn't a brand. Apple was referencing all non-Mac computers (not just Dell or HP) as their competitor. Intel is specifically referencing a single chip from a single competitor.

If the Apple ad said "Mac is so much better than the Dell XPS", that would be different.
I wonder why they don't target beverages that are already packaged in paper cartons and figure out the liquid liner part before moving on to the pressure and screw cap parts. I guess if the serving size is smaller there doesn't necessarily need to be a closable cap.
Hopefully they were playing the "Beverly Hills Cop" theme song!

EDIT: It would be the most defensible thing ever- "It's our theme song, we can play it whenever we want to"
I don't think that behavior is all to common. I see people listening to a very wide range of artists and almost never reach for stuff outside of it around here.
As a disclaimer, I work for Google. But the law wouldn't only impact Google News. It would also require Google to pay the sites that are included in regular search engine results.
Shit companies in a shit business relation. Can't wait to see that marriage between the two.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Just kinda disgusting that the grease cost 10,000 dollars.

At least it shows that there's SOME kind of option for those of us who don't have the power to summon a twitter mob on demand.
Sounds very interesting -- congrats on making to here, must be super exciting. A couple of questions:

How do you deal with best execution obligations for the "legs" of your trades?

What market data do you publish about your order book?
Good on them for actually tracking this feature request for over a decade and not just closing it after three weeks for “lack of interest.”

Looking at you, every random GitHub project ever.
I'm talking about the conventional fight.

Once you get into nukes it's another ballgame.

How does the F35 or its cool successor prevent MAD?

Iraq and Afgh were counterinsurgency fights. Any China or Russian fight will not be the same.

And the US absolutely crushed the Iraqi military within a matter of days in both Desert Storm and OIF. The problem was the "nation building" COIN fight.
Were Mizrahi Jews persecuted across the entire Middle East and North Africa?
If you don't want to be any richer, then why do returns, dividends, yields or earnings growth matter?

It's great that you're successful enough that throwing away over a million dollars worth of BTC isn't a big deal for you, but that's a life-changing amount of money for most folks. I'm making no claims about the features or benefits of BTC, but one million dollars worth of bitcoin is primarily useful because it can be exchanged for one million dollars, today, right now. It doesn't need any additional features, promises, guarantees or selling points.
If I have a soft wallet and I have automatic updates enabled on my OS, do only I have the keys or do Microsoft/Apple/Google/Samsung/Canonical have them as well?

EDIT: For clarity, I was referring to an actual online wallet, a wallet on a website, but it’s not too different to ask the same question about a software wallet on a computer-connected device that does automatic OS or wallet software updates.
This is like saying "don't speed if you don't want a speeding ticket".

Yes, you can use absolute qualifiers like "never" and "always" to stupid proof general advice to a greater extent than you can with phrases like "common sense" and "where reasonable" but that doesn't automatically make the advice any more useful..

I'm perfectly fine with the size of the drowning risk that comes with spending ~1min removing something from the oven when the timer goes off and other reasonable allowances like that. Of course I'm not gonna stop and watch TV with an infant in the sink. And if traffic's going 85 I'm going 85 but I won't be the first person going 85.
I fully agree. I would pay 200-300 for a wired Sculpt with proper Fn keys. I hate the wireless aspect, but still haven't found an overall better keyboard.

And how did the work out for the british in WWI? They could have invested in tanks and used the Blitzkrieg one war early, but the officers loved their horses. Using horses was not a sign of health, it was sign of backward thinking and nearly cost them everything.

Scripting languages are not meant to be fast. For speed, we have C. A script spends most of its time in its underlying C components anyway. Therefore, there is not even a need for these scripting languages to be fast.

I'm seeing, like, $160 for a consumer BW laser and $330 for a dot matrix. Considering the BW laser will probably die inside four years for no good reason, and refills will be about $60, the dot matrix doesn't strike me as expensive if it will last.

how much of that applies to the TSA? I'd like to know for my own benefit during travel. I know how to speak to a policeman, but I was under the idea that the TSA had even larger authority.
If I start reading something non-technical, I quickly slip back into "hearing" mode (maybe 500 wpm), but I've gotten worse at this over time as I've started spending more and more time with technical material.
I've seen it used for both situations.
The advice may or may not be good, but those pseudo-formula always make me cringe. (At least they used multiplication and not addition, that way they can wiggle out of questions of units/dimensions much easier.)
Unfortunately, there's nothing simple about modeling and analyzing useful medical data. This is a very hard problem to solve.

If I knew my blog posts are not being read and I still want to keep writing, I might as well start writing offline and not blog. That will be my two bits in saving world resources!
Don't know why you're downvoted. I also missed his point why his alternative solution is in any way "better".
You would've been able to get a job as a junior sales/marketing/etc person. Now they will hire you as a secretary if you're lucky.

Edit: this was also due to the relatively smaller proportion of the population with degrees at that time.
I don't think it should be uncomfortable to reject anyone, either. Being unable to reject inappropriate advances implies poor boundaries just as much as making the inappropriate advances in the first place.
So by the time an app has stolen all your personal data it's already too late to disable the permissions...

It isn't a released feature, obviously. Instead it is clearly an soon pending feature.
That software can't ever just be finished is a problem that needs to be solved.
What's the average age of an HN poster? I remember being pretty judgmental and self-righteous when I was 20…
>After September 11th, airlines and airports were heavily criticized for relying on inadequately trained, low-paid employees for something as essential as security

Pro-tip: The same poorly trained, low-paid employees are now federal TSA goons.

>Everyone in the world agreed that a federal agency must step in to do a better job, and the TSA is the result.

Clearly, everyone in the world was overreacting to 9/11, and made poor, rash decisions. I'm sure many libertarians felt that despite 9/11, they would feel much safer having airport security handled by airlines, and not a bureaucratic organization that has yet to catch any terrorists in the act, or foil any terrorist plots.
I would recommend The Book of Tea by Okakura Kakuzo. It's a great introduction to eastern culture for westerners taking tea as link and guide. Despite it was published in 1906 it's interestingly both actual and dated.

Remember guys & gals: this can happen to you. I am a fanatical Linode customer, and they are, in general, an extremely rock solid service, but that doesn't alleviate my responsibility to ensure my application is available regardless of datacenter outage.

Thank you for your reply :)

When "entering" a pixel by pressing E, the pixel "above", which the user entered through should assume the average of all the pixels below. I thought it would be interesting to have the 16x16 pixels in the lower level diverge from the color of the pixel above when first visited, but they'd still have to average to the original color.

I googled a bit more but couldn't find any solutions, existing libraries or algorithms i could implement.

Maybe I'll try again in a few years, I'll keep the site running in the meanwhile :)
