Quaternion slerp may be expensive, but you can approximate the results almost imperceptibly with ‘nlerp’.

I agree very much. The whole document in the OP reads like someone who lost his Twitter account and is trying to communicate in PPT.
Yes, that is where I saw it.
Do you have a link to the Penguin series? That seems interesting as well, especially given the time range.
Through the police, yes. Upon receiving credible police reports Telco in US refuses to route certain sources coming from Telco in India. Repeated infractions gets the entire Telco banned from making calls to US Telco.

However I don't know the feasibility of this.
That fair value valuation is subjective. The $35 number was arbitrarily chosen and is unknown, so the derived probability is meaningless as well.
The possibility of a take over changes the potential long term valuation of a company and thereby changes the demand for the stock. Basically, if enough people think the buyout would happen, or would just make Twitter more valuable (as a stock) than it is now, that increases the number of buyers and hence drives the price of the stock up.

If a buyout is certain, then the demand for free money is 100%, and demand for a sure loser is 0% of potential buyers. Hence the share price would quickly converge to a buyout price in that situation.
OK, we all know censorship is happening but I'll rephrase my comment as current twitter users don't care. You are shouting into a void, as things stand.

To the specific point about Canadian society, all I will say is that I live in a country that had a Prime Minsiter called Tony Blair and despite everything he did, he is still alive and well and totally convinced that he was right about everything.
Another “hack”
You are absolutely right. But if you are on the road, I was saying that it is possible to regain control of the car even if you momentarily skid/slide. I think winter driving definitely takes getting used to, there is no point in blaming drivers who may be encountering this for the first time in their lives.
Perhaps this is the "No true Democrat" argument.
Awesome, thanks. That should really be mentioned in the Quick Start and/or Tutorial in the docs. I think a lot of people would really appreciate that feature. :)
That'd happen entirely based on your demeanor and their recognition of you becoming a "regular", even in a world without tips.

Also, the problem with your "i'm a good boy because I tip 20%" just got downgraded to "meh". Gone to a Chili's recently? They default you to 20%, and use this clumsy poorly-reactive slider to change it. And you feel like an asshole for doing so anyway.

You want to be seen as a good tipper now? Time to cough up another 10%.
Hardware USB analyzers are also essential when you're diagnosing problems with the USB stack itself.
Thank you for your response. At this point I know that I need to keep learning. I wanted to know what sort of work would be a good "stepping stone" job for someone who can't yet program.
If deep societal problems could be solved in fifteen minutes, they wouldn't be deep societal problems.
Last year my laptop got stolen, and while I shopped for a replacement at work, I had to use my (previously headless) server machine for other tasks at home. Beyond what the linked article discusses, I'll also mention:

elinks (http://elinks.or.cz/) is far more featureful than links, w3m or lynx, to the point where it even supports CSS and a little JS.

libcaca (http://caca.zoy.org/) comes with an image-viewing tool, "cacaview", which is handy when somebody sends you a picture and you don't have a graphical framebuffer handy.
Shouldn't Homeland Security be securing something?
Not too bad. I'm paying 1.90 for all transactions (qualified and non). $14.95/mo for a statement fee.
I know I can't (or shouldn't) get a programming job with my abysmal experience, and continuing to learn (in several respects) is important for me now that I'm out of school. But what sort of work would you recommend for someone like me, who can't yet program, but is learning?
I think this might be more fun if this were on the inside. Still, I like.

As I said, it depends on how slow you want your server to respond to a given request. For instance, you could set X so high that it takes a minimum of 1 second to respond to a request. That is probably not necessary. The real answer is you need to take the estimated minimum amount of time to calculate one of hash using the function you have chosen. Then compute using that number as the basis the minimum number of rounds to assure reasonable security for a single password. Reasonable security could be it would take 1 year to a do a full dictionary attack alphanumeric only or perhaps 1 month or 1 week. The value you choose for the time it takes to brute force one password is the level of protection you are providing your users.

EDIT:
also what Thomas said. It is in the standard that 1000 should be the minimum value. I would use higher based on the level of protection you want to give your users. Note that different hash functions have different costs so this will also impact the choice of X.
Yeah, but living within 20 metres of a hive doesn't mean anything about risk of getting stung.

Bees are quite happy to fly miles to get their nectar. Most of the bees from our hive visibly flew straight up and away from our area. Since getting rid of the hive, our garden is still full of bees.
Tim is our generation's chuck norris. I've seen his Tedtalk - it's like he walks on water. He's a genius at self-promotion, but too much cloud in the sky goals and success, and you start to see the fluff.
Has anyone figured out how to set the encoding and content-type for an attachment? Or has it not implemented as yet?

I really do love it though. I wish I saw this a few days ago, just did my first mutt setup (took me a few hours, I am very slow). The contact autocompletion is nice. Is there a reason for one not being able to just to generate the whole contact list ?
I grew up in Iowa and then moved the bay area after college, and the lack of empathy and community spirit really struck me. When I was in high school and there was a snow day, my friends and I would drive around with shovels looking for people who were stuck so we could push them out. Sure, there wasn't much else to do in Iowa :) but it was fun, and helped people.

I went to Tahoe a few years ago with my brother and some friends, and the friends were shocked when us Iowans made them pull over so we could get a car out.

Some things just have to be different though. As a kid I remember asking people for a quarter because I needed to use a payphone. But requests for spare change in the Haight just aren't reasonable to process. Once I tried to ask passersby on Valencia if I could quickly use their cell phone though, and after asking about 50 people just gave up.

On the other hand, I've gotten into road biking out here, and every single time I've gotten a flat the next biker along has stopped to see if they can help.
Having read the story and read a lot of the posts and discussion in this thread, a few thoughts come to mind:

1) I once had a flat tire that a homeless person offered to change. Yes, he was hoping to make a few bucks. I was still very ill at the time and desperately needed to get something to eat. Having him change it meant it got done faster than if I had tried to call someone, which mattered because every minute counts when my blood sugar is low. We talked while he worked and I found out he had been staying in a cheap dive of a hotel and was trying to come up with enough to sleep there that night instead of the streets. I gave him $60. I later found out it would have cost less to call someone. I didn't care. It was worth it to me to get to an eatery a few minutes faster. My blood sugar was low and I was really in crisis. I had a "middle class" lifestyle but in some sense was in no less need than the homeless man.

2) I think the whole generosity thing is typical of successful business people because creating something of value is what makes them successful. "Business people" who are little more than con artists and are doing their best to separate you from your money without really creating something of value often land in jail or just go out of business when folks realize it isn't worth what they spent. It isn't always obvious in the short run, but in the long run creating something of real value is the only way to stay in business and make money. It seems to be counterintuitive to many, yet "pay it forward" and similar philosophies are rooted in that same idea/value/orientation of doing something of real value in the world.

3) I tend to live by the idea that if you want to live in a better world, the best way to make sure you do is roll your sleeves up and get to work on it. So in some sense, I am generous to other people out of selfishness, though I can't quite think how to explain that. <shrug>
Interesting how the author questions why nobody's working together in .NET and then responds by leaving the .NET community rather than sticking around to help fix it. A bit of a circular argument?

(to be fair, I'd probably do the same thing, and I bet most of us would too)
"While most people probably do expect that their emails are private..." fairly well sums up the "reasonable expectation of privacy" standard. So, you know, full stop.

I'm just astonished that it's taken more than 30 years to reach this decision, and a least at decade of very widespread use.
Actually they went on to sue Tesla, saving many lives
I really enjoyed the Dark Forest. The ending felt like the first time I saw The Usual Suspects.

Another alternative hypothesis could be that the universe / even the galaxy is just too big to settle. Any civilization going out would take centuries to cross to other spaces, and completely lose touch with those members which stayed behind. It's hard to have a galactic "empire" when it takes centuries to send resources/soldiers to other worlds. The nearest planet to us, New Horizons, would take nearly 7 hours just to send a message at the speed of light!

The logical thing to do would be to send out machines to mine for resources and send them back and the machines may not be that interested in other lifeforms, other than possibly avoiding them.
Same as Teams. Once you leave a meeting it keeps listening until you restart.

We’re a garage band no doubt. We tend to do contract-to-hire, but we pay up-front, so we assume the risk of there not being a fit.

I haven’t done the elite interviewing rounds and been paid all the millions per year in SV in a while, but at least at that time this would have been a much better deal than anyone without a FAANG offer letter could get. We mark to levels.fyi, not Glassdoor.
The 737 MAX actually had a really bad rate of fatal accidents per hour of flight. Like if you flew a certain number of hours per year on the 737 MAX prior to the MCAS fix you’d be more likely to die than if you drove for the same number of hours.

...they are free to craft their requirements so that only one vendor can possibly meet them.

I've been the recipient of a government (in this case, large municipal essential services department) RFP that was crafted for me.
Yes, but it would require a bit of extra user interaction to make it secure. Otherwise you might try to send something from the browser to your phone and it might actually go to the phone of an attacker behind you who also scanned it.

I think the solution would be to have the phone's screen turn green when it has successfully paired, and the user needs to verify that before sending to the phone. But everyone I've shown it to as-is hasn't been able to figure out how it works (except you). So I don't want to force any additional confusing steps on the user. In the future I might do it on a different site, without the focus on passwords.
One of the nastier bits about the construction of America's old public housing stock was that when they built it in those neighborhoods which were considered slums, replacing a lot of small individual properties with big state-owned properties. Huddled masses yearning to breath free? Sure.

But in this transition, they mangled a lot of the informal economy -- good old-fashioned under-the-table businesses operating out of privately-rented homes, gleefully ignoring all regulations it feels like, and the source of livelihood for many urban poor. Obviously, this was no boon to the future of the community.
BTW, this is how H1B works as well. Employer should pay at least prevailing wage, to make a foreigner eligible.
I got a full-time job and my motivation magically appeared for my side projects.

Before I was basically a bum that occasionally did contract work... now I work 40 hrs at my job, and 20 hrs at a coworking space on my startup. My hatred for the 9-5 job is what motivates me.
Upgrading the Interior is going to be expensive, to the point that no one will want to do it. The older parts are going to be more expensive, because someone has to keep them in inventory; and then they are going to be much more labor intensive to install than they were originally; since the car is actually put together.

Modern cars are getting harder to repair (smaller spaces, closer quarters) than in the past.

I also think the entertainment electronics are getting much more tightly integrated. When I was in high school 15 years ago it was pretty common to replace your stereo (and get a CD player!); but now the whole system is so integrated into the look and feel of the car anything aftermarket will just look out of place.
In reality, when this happens, the companies in question call each other up and fix it, generally speaking.
I remember a different history, and I don't miss those awful towers a bit.

I remember being in military uniform in the early 90's and still being harassed by the locals as I walked down Division St the 3 miles to the train I had to get to. I remember everyone I knew, black, white, well off, poor.. all of them hating being around those things.

I remember the other set further up north (that still exist, and I'm not sure if they were "renovated") just two years ago when I lived nearby, and the crime that centered around it.

I also can't provide any sort of evidence to this, but I strongly remember an idea that these were only ever intended to be stopping points - temporary housing, and the problem being them becoming "homes" at all. No "Home" in this country should resemble a prison cell as much as those did. Complete with block wardens, cages to prevent violence or suicide on porches, etc.

To that end, is it really a bad statistic when you see that 44% that weren't in the system 10 years later? The single biggest bucket if you lumped "no longer qualified", "lost contact", and "private market" would be almost 30% ten years later don't need to be in there anymore. Add in the other 35% that are in mixed rentals (a la the questionably effective Wilson Yard development), or just accepting a subsidized rental, I'd say that the bulk of the community - those who lived there as well as those who lived around there, are doing better without those terrible towers.
A popular solution has been available for MacOS for sixteen years (Little Snitch) so if something comparable isn't already available for Linux—the operating system of the internet—that's pretty embarrassing.
Way more assuming you’re generating interest (assuming you’re not a financial idiot who’s keeping $3MM in cash)
If you’re not able to think creatively enough to find a place in the US or the world to live off a $1-2M starting point, then early retirement probably isn’t for you.

Meant with no disrespect: some people are naturally better suited to be employee types imo. Everyone fantasizes about life on their own, but most aren’t willing to make the tradeoffs to do so.

We'll definitely add mobile support in the future. It's hard to to everything with small team, so we have to focus.

Beginning in 50s, health insurance alone is $25k per year in premiums with after tax money plus ~$13k out of pocket maximum per year.

Don’t know how a couple can afford to forego that, especially if they have assets that can be taken, the hospital will come for them.
Number 3: MOst SOftware Engineers are bad at their job, they aren't anything close to Surgeons.

This I think is the reason most software nowadays is garbage, there is a lot of low skilled people creating it. I blame bootcamps and dumbed down CS courses for this. It's not necessarily the developers fault, they can't improve on the things they don't know they are bad at.
Yes, but the harsh truth is, you are still a 'second class citizen', even if a well paid one.

It's really a matter of culture; virtually all places will have a clear delineation between Investment and Technology, with various perks given to Investment people: better visibility into what is going on, access to higher management, general power to influence which projects need work etc. Also, Investment people tend to hang out together.

EDIT: Just realised you were maybe not commenting on the 'second class citizen' bit. I'll leave my comment here anyway.
I livestream on Twitter via Periscope as much as I can. I'm not sure why.

And what if your goal is low density?

Your post assume the density is a positive goal. I disagree, I think it's a miserable way to live.

Let people live how they want, and keep voting very local. Each city can have different density levels and housing styles. You want density? Move somewhere dense, and vote that way, I have no issue with it.

I'll move to low density areas and vote that way, and I expect you not to have an issue with that either.
She has created an enormous racket for herself. Her per-employee profit might be higher than Apple's.

After all, critical race theory books do not need any QA and, in current atmosphere, hardly any salespeople.
In practice, reforms like this are more impactful when combined with density bonuses and ministerial approvals for housing proposals if the city is behind targets. Both of those are already in play in California.
Interestingly enough, melee weapons are still often used in modern warfare. While not swords but machete's, axes/tomahawks, and a large variety of knifes are still used. I mean your are 100% correct they aren't the main weapon of nearly anyone, they are still super effective in close quarters. In fact within 21 feet or so they are typically considered MORE effective than firearms unless you already have the weapon drawn, aimed, and ready to fire.
I remember a time when Firefox didn't work for anything that required ActiveX.

I remember when Firefox didn't support Flash without a seriously dangerous plugin.

I remember when somehow enough people woke up and banded against ActiveX and Flash.

It seems popular here to make the argument that "doing what's right" poses an existential threat to the right-doer. The corollary to that argument is that in order to survive you must do what is wrong.

For some, it is better to die than to go along with what is wrong. Luckily, it often works out that those who have the courage to do the right thing survive. And when they do the world is often a better place.

Don't cave into the naysayers who predict the end of the world. Keep fighting the good fight.

The problem with blindindly "believing the science" is that with enough money you can get scientific results that push a certain narrative. We are learning now that most of the anti-fat dietician push was sponsored by sugary drink companies. Likewise we are learning that a lot of "clean air" research is sponsored by fossil fuel companies. What current research will we learn about 10-20 years from now that it was mostly sponsored by a party with a commercial interest?
> For Europe, one big obstacle was that the EU decided to bargain for vaccines as a group, which made the process of securing shots very cumbersome. As a result, the region got cheaper vaccine prices but delayed delivery. The EU regulatory state has also reportedly gotten in the way of rapid approval.

I think, the emphasis is wrong there on bargaining as a group. The US bargained also "as a group", if you will.The EU prioritised (in my eyes wrongly) pricing over speedy delivery and was risk averse:
The US purchased most of the doses a whole half year before approval, the EU only bargained for options on vaccines pending approval.

There is a 10 day delay between the emergency approval of the FDA and the full approval of the EMA. But we do not see a 10 day delay in the vaccinations.

A delay of a ramp-up on the other hand by half-a-year looks more like what we see.

Also, the US does not allow exports of the vaccines produced in the US. To my knowledge, no such restrictions are in place in the EU.
Heise is definitely one of the best tech media/print houses.

But their handling of their comment section is seriously lacking and it looks like it is stuck in early 90ies usenet discussions and worse.
Possibly. Although the surveys I've seen show something like 75% of employees want to come into an office at least one day per week. Of course 25% is still a lot of people and opens up options considerably for someone that doesn't want to live near a city or at least near your city. Monthly team off-sites are also an issue if you don't mind paying for some travel/hotel.
It's the same in the US, with different percentages. From: https://bench.co/blog/accounting/calculate-payroll-tax/

- FICA tax is 7.65% (6.2% social security, 1.45% medicare)

- FUTA tax is 0.6 to 6.0% (varies, iiuc)

- And then employers (generally) also pay an amount towards health care. But that's not a tax, per se; more of a mandatory "benefit"
Instagram has filters in place that will flag / disable your account if you try to upload with anything but the official Instagram app. (that is, if they can detect that you tried that). You may have better luck using the Instagram hooks in a scripted Android Emulator
People who don't buy advertised products are freeloading off those who do.
Sometimes I rationally realize that I am making an irrational decision, but I still prefer the "wrong" decision. For example, I may pick up a dirty penny in a street. The risk/reward is negative because the very slight possibility or disease or accident outweighs the very slight financial reward, but I prefer to pick up the penny anyway. Am I rational because of the analysis, or irrational because I make the wrong choice?
