“A camera mounted above the tank tracks the fish’s movement and relays that information to a computer, which then drives the robot in the direction the fish is travelling.”

>I still don't see that artificially inflating coinbase bitcoin.

I don't know how to explain it any more clearly to you.

>plus only bitfinance would be able to print/create tether

Yes, but whoever controls the printing could then use the Tethers on any exchange that supports them.

>also, there's no evidence that companies what you claim they could do

You asked for an explanation of how it could be done, not evidence.
I am saying the former. Yeah, I guess you're right that camera-to-object distance wouldn't matter.

And you're right that two eyes would be a problem. Even if they have the same prescription, I think the fact that the angle from the left eye to the screen and from the right eye to the screen would be different.

It seems like a monocole should be doable, at least if I dictate that they center the phone in front of their eye and the distance from their eye to the screen. But I don't know much about optics either.
It is worth noting this whole series is incredible. I used to work with the guy who started it (@jordansissel), and he was an incredible sysadmin/software engineer. If you go through the archives on the right side, you will find lots more incredible posts (although he doesn't write them all anymore, they are all of excellent quality).
For Historical background: An awful lot of money in software/computing has been made in proprietry systems.

Where Open Source is supported by companies is where it is a complement to their main line of business. So Google support OS browsers so that people will be online more and click on more ads. IBM likes Linux because people might buy more IBM hardware. 37signals makes web-apps and benefits from Rails.
There's enough of those complements (plus altruistic applications -- think Torvalds or _Why) that we have a full ecosystem that everyone benefits from.

The money is in the closed source stuff (Google doesn't OS adsense or their core search or cluster stuff, IBM doesn't OS zOS or WebSphere, 37signals doesn't OS basecamp)
Uhh, what about ec2-download-bundle? Last I checked you could use that to download your image files.

In my experience, restaurants do not have a sense of humour about this kind of thing. One site I ran had several legal threats over user reviews even vaguely implying they fell ill. Other threats came over reviews they felt inaccurate.

A health scare can easily destroy a business like this so I'd be very very wary!
If there is a really important update you need to put out, explain it, and send an email. The keyword is "expedited review." If you ask nicely and don't ask too often, they will usually have your update out in two days.
i like how the mfwebsite loads a google analytics tag at the end which is larger than the actual website. lol.
I'd expect moths to evolve to ignore streetlights. Maybe it happened already.
So I have to design and build for the older browser then hope that the newer browser handles it properly, whilst also constraining myself from using any newer functionality?

That seems backwards.
It's good, but if you can find something that fits you well for less money I'd go for that instead. If you buy Herman Miller furniture you're definitely paying a premium for the brand.

A popular alternative are the Steelcase chairs, which are less expensive and (supposedly) comparable quality.
I surprisingly frequently find answers to extremely obscure older tech issues on Experts-Exhange.

I avoided them for years, but at least as of a year ago, you don't need to pay to see the answer, just wait 30 seconds.
How is NPM more reliable or easy to use than rubygems? In my opinion Rubygems (with bundler) was the gold standard, and maybe now Cargo (Rust) or Stackage (Haskell) has stolen its crown.

Python package management is a drama, but I've heard Java developers defend their system, forgot if it was maven or gradle.

My main issue with NPM was belatedly solved when Yarn came out. The whole node_modules thing makes me consider it inferior to the others I mentioned, but I'm not sure it can be called a problem.
Maybe just n3?

PS: It is weird that node.js community well known for internal battles. Everybody throw shit at each other and nobody win from this.
But PFS is specifically about including "my adversary may, at a later date, compromise my private key" in your threat model without giving up plaintext. If we assume that calculating a private key from the public key is ~impossible (which I hope you agree we can do), and we further assume the private key never leaves the device, then forward secrecy is what lets us know the only way to get plaintext is by stealing it from an endpoint. Maybe I'm failing to see the adversary you're defeating with PFS if they're never going to access your device and siphon off private data...

I'm no expert, but if all you care about is transit security, I don't think you need PFS (in E2EE messaging! TLS is a different story, because you have to trust the server). Just protect your private key. But if you're carrying multiple device's worth of accumulated messages _right alongside_ your private key, then what's the point of rotating ephemeral keys after each message?

EDIT: I agree about a compromise on PFS/chat history being reasonable in most scenarios. But I also think that defaults are really important, especially as the contents of chat history can be leaked by other participants, whose chat backups you can't really control. It's a tough problem to solve for everyone.

This is a great idea!

Hypothetical: I do wonder how admissible this is as court evidence in a world where DeepFake videos is an open source tool. If it's not on the protester's facebook, couldn't a clever defense attorney just claim the video was altered by the archivist and "there's no way to prove that is the face of the defendant"? I bet it would need to be coupled with other evidence, testimony, etc?
While true in the financial sense - it somewhat depends on if success can only be a binary measurement and the only measure that matters is return to LPs. [1]

If the alternative reality is allowed to be entertained, it is very much possible to say KP was instrumental in laying the groundwork for a clean tech VC ecosystem - jumpstarting VC activity amongst other VCs and supplying a ton of critical social cred to clean teach entrepreneurs/engineers that they were legit and not just tree-hugging pie-in-the-sky dreamers.

Herd mentality and FOMO among other competing VCs following suit likely significantly multiplied the amount of clean tech VC dollars that KP directly allocated and led to many of the successful clean tech companies today.

Also there's a ton of fundamental clean tech R&D that was learned in the areas of energy demand management, solar and battery tech knowledge at the KP funded startups. It was also much more visible what failed so subsequent startups could avoid those hazards. And as engineers at the failed startups dispersed, they could then be picked up by future successful players.

And even though it lost, there's also a ton of social cred in KP putting in a bid for Tesla's Series C. It set a lower bound on Tesla stake for Vantage Point and gave Elon that much more capital at a crucial stage. [2]

That would be Elementary OS. It's gotten pretty awesome lately.

I would highly recommend Elementary to jaded OS X users in particular, along with anyone else with an inclination to use Linux. I regularly and happily use all major OSs for coding, design and other super serious stuff, and this is my favorite Linux distro by far.

There's big ticket improvements for performance [1] and a huge step forward for multiple monitor support [2]. I've given third-party multiple monitor utilities the boot. Multiple monitor support in Windows 8 is squarely in "good enough" territory.

There's smaller improvements too, like the new Task Manager [3].

There's also mundane stuff like rejigged NTFS this and that [4].

Client Hyper-V is a welcome addition.

It's the legal loophole around CP at 4chan (luckily only at /b/). It's not clearly illegal so it doesn't get banned, but it's also obviously just drawn CP.
Thank you for this -- I've been bothered by my Windows PC not sleeping properly for the best part of a year. `powercfg lastwake` indicated the Ethernet adapter and then disabling the option "Wake on Pattern Match" has allowed the computer to sleep soundly.

The problem is that those scummy delivery platforms have taken over the market. A lot of restaurants no longer have in-house delivery staff and only rely on said platforms for delivery. Some won’t even accept collection orders over the phone, forcing you to use the platforms even if you’re happy to pick up in-person and would simply like to order in advance.
Your music had probably been buffered.
I agree that you are still being tracked on an Apple TV, but that's because the YouTube app is still made by Google, and the Netflix app is made by Netflix, etc.

Apple probably has some sort of tracking system, but they're hardly a tracking monopolist, not even on their own devices.
This made it really easy to figure out how to interpret the packets from my wireless barbeque thermometer. Previously i used some monstrous excel for this kind of pattern finding, e.g. https://github.com/cleanflight/cleanflight/issues/1125#issue...

In the end the bbq temp sensor turned out to be trivial, using rtl433 on a raspberry pi I just log the packets to a dynamo table and alexa (using google charts from a lambda) plots the last 20 points on screen.

Apparently it was 55TB two years ago. It's probably still somewhere in the realm of a smallish NAS and I bet a couple people on /r/datahoarders have it all downloaded.

The notion that any entity can "dominate the market for speech" is absurd. Freedom of speech doesn't mean you have a right to free eyeballs at <insert company here>'s expense.

Freedom of speech and freedom of association mean that Twitter has the right to put or not put whatever it wants on its website.
I think it's an interesting consequence of accountability, that the people being held accountable tend to vocally dislike being held accountable, but don't want to say so for some reason.

It'd honestly be pretty refreshing for a leader to come out and say, "I don't think my actions should be held against me like your actions should be held against you because I'm special/different." Insane, but refreshingly honest.

For what it's worth, I'm increasingly with you re: leaving the US, for what basically amount to the opposite reason. I'm tired of people not being responsible for themselves, their actions, and the outcomes that happen beyond the first order consequences.
You cannot control for that.

You can't give a control group a "placebo illness" such that they don't know whether it's Covid-19 or not (and make it double-blind so that the people administering this illness also don't know).

The people who overcame Covid-19 had an experience that members of a control group who did not overcome Covid-19 do not have.

That's an obvious source of bias, which is inherent to the study.

What would be credible would be data about people who had Covid-19 but did not know it (due to mild symptoms and no hospitalization), showing that those people have mental problems compared to a control group of those who didn't have Covid-19.

However, if there is a real physiological effect there, it
could be tied to the severity of the illness: i.e. how much damage it caused to the body. In that case, those secondary effects could be expected to be next to nonexistent in the mild group.
Interesting. I guess that was all after my stint playing w/ D. I had never heard about this Amber effort until I googled for tango today, for example. From my perspective as a user, it definitely felt like the API divide was a problem - there were things that were only available on top of phobos and other things that were only available on top of tango and you couldn't use both together.

But yes, all of this was weeeeell over a decade ago. Despite having experienced this friction back then, I still think of D as an extremely productive/pragmatic language with a snappy compiler. Some of the stuff that pops up here and there about new developments in D2-land are also very interesting. If anyone's on the fence about it, I would definitely recommend giving it a shot.
I understand what you’re saying but it is incorrect. Docker was in fact the originator of OCI in every way that matters. They made the decision to create it; drafted the founding documents and went back and forth with Linux Foundation on the content; chose the names (initially OCF, then later OCI); negotiated with LF the governance structure and initial board composition; negotiated the list of external maintainers with commit access, including a Red Hat and CoreOS employee; chose the announcement date and venue; drafted the announcement content along with LF; coordinated with PR teams of other founding members. All this in addition to being the original authors of both the spec and implementation.

Neither Red Hat nor CoreOS were involved in any of those steps, nor were they even aware of them until the last minute. When they were invited it was on a “take it or leave it” basis. They took it, then tried to pre-empt the Docker/LF announcement by a few hours to make it look like they were launching it. Those were tense days and there was very little trust between those companies.

Source: I was involved in the process of creating OCI.

I am considering offering my services for Bitcoin, at a custom rate, subject to regular review, for a part of my salary to be discussed. The main point is building an economy around that damn thing. Many people "believe" in it, but not many people put their Bitcoins where their mouth is. A bi-weekly salary is actually a good use case for the shitty transaction rate. I still have some details to iron-out, but it makes sense to me at this point. Anyone here who has experience in working / hiring for Bitcoin ? I do mean in the surface economy. Any authoritative resources on tax policies / issues and what not ? I haven't fully thought this through just yet, but I'm gonna.

> Dollar bills don't have any of the advantages you mentioned either. How fast and secure do you think mailing them to some company is?

No one mails paper dollar bills around.

Bitcoin always sounds fantastic when compared to these straw-man alternate universes where everyone is mailing dollar bills around, but let's stick to reality where no one does that.

> pretending they're only possible if they're built on top of pieces of paper.

USD isn't literally built on top of paper money. Cryptocurrency, however, is literally invented out of thin air by programmers. New cryptocurrencies are released every week. Even Bitcoin gets forked at times.
Can we sum this up as: hate the referee, not the player?
> You've got to draw the line somewhere

This is the heuristics I use:

1) You can generally trust network equipment because there are many types of it, produced by many companies all over the world.

2) This means any backdoor in your computer that transmits information over the network would be trivial to detect and therefore useless for NSA et al.

With that in mind, the most dangerous backdoor that could feasibly exist is probably the one that subverts the RNG. Here is a discussion about a hypothetical backdoor in the hardware RNG built into new Intel CPUs: http://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/9210/technical-fea...

Sort of a tangental topic, but I hate it when people post slides like this. These sorts of things should always work better as a blog post. If your slides are good presentation slides, they're not detailed enough to work without a presenter, and if they are they're bound to be too wordy for the actual presentation. Either way, it's not a presentation I want to be in.

Or just the fact that is extremely much better in all ux departments:

- the app is now so much better that I was confused last time I used WhatsApp (I also think WhatsApp must have gone backwards, it was better before, wasn't it?)

- better admin tools for groups (mute, disallow stickers etc)

- disappearing chats. More convenience than security IMO but still something I use with my wife. I always lock my phone, but she lets our kids borrow it sometimes and I'd not to share everything we tell each with the kids :-)

- scheduled messages: remember lunch Lisa!

- and for your geek friends: actually open source, multiple client goodness. And APIs. And bots that you can create yourselves.

>>your throwing me an anecdote

Sorry for assuming you were aware of this.

Consider code size, which is easy to measure -- and examples are over the net. Compare e.g. C/Java with the usual suspects (Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP, etc). For many applications, the scripting code is half the size.

A given programmer tend to produce a certain number of lines per day. Ergo, shorter coding time.

Coding time with an edit/compile/test cycle might be offset by modern IDEs (I have no data on this).

>>"Faster to develop with" isn't a sign of a properly designed language and it certainly doesn't justify the language existing.

Coding size costs money; both to write and to support. Money is one of the big motivators today...

>>[2] Of course you might say "yea, but it's hard to get Lisp running on new servers" and there is truth to that, but PHP didn't exist at all

I don't know much about PHP, but it is well known that the first version was written as Perl scripts.

(I don't know, does Lisp really have such problems with its community? Write anything bad about Python and you'll get flamed to a crisp, Ruby has a lots of childish rah-rah etc.)

I think it was when talking to Jonathan from Plagiarism Today (http://www.plagiarismtoday.com) that I was told that forum posts should be regarded as the authors' own, legal copyright property. I may have some old notes on this around that I can dig up.

Some forums (and sites like YouTube) write some Terms of Use/EULAs to waive their content rights to the site owners (not for any nefarious reasons), although I doubt that these "agreements" hold up.

If I had any comments or forum posts that were copied verbatim in a manner that upset me, I would definitely pursue it legally. But I'm a fanatic like that.
Both are semi-evil towards end-users by virtue of these end-users being the product, rather than the customers they imagine themselves to be.

Google tries to reach the unevil side, by giving you as full control of your data as they can, and not cross over the creepy line (although they are always near it).

Facebook doesn't, and therefore finds itself on the evil side almost all the time. It's not that they want to be evil that makes them evil; It's just that not avoiding becoming evil makes them that way, and they do not try to avoid it in any way. (Plus, evil is more lucrative).
With firefox, you can hit the quote key and search the links, pressing enter to navigate to the page. F3 goes to the next result.

Didn't know that. That's handy, thanks!

Firefox also has the Vimperator plugin that gives vim-like nav for Firefox. Highly recommended if you like Vim.

I'm aware of Vimperator, but have never tried it, as I am an Emacs guy and about as useless with vi as I am with wild animals. It might be worth a look, though, if it does everything I mentioned above. (Does it?)
