We just built Juji based on AI technologies. Like the “precog” Agatha live online, Juji can “read” you by automatically inferring your faction(s) and strengths, and your likelihood to career success and a long-lasting marriage, all from your own data (e.g., Facebook posts and tweets).

Do you believe a computer system like Juji can actually know you better than you know yourself? Do you believe it knows your faction and the faction of your friends but without asking you or your friends to go through the tests that Tris did in Divergent?

Check it out yourself to see what Juji knows about you (Juji Me) and others you want to (Juji People) at https://juji.io !

> You can always invent another excuse for why it's more convenient to Torrent something than pay the paltry $8 or $10/month for Netflix, ie the cost of a few cups of coffee or about an hour's wages in a low-paying job. This method rewards creators and is clearly affordable.

I actually think the opposite. I believe content piracy has gone down because services like Netflix and Spotify have come out and simplified consumption of media. These services has several advantages to torrents compared to the one disadvantage (it actually costs money) - Cross platform support, unlimited media in the tap of a button, etc. If the movie industry created something like Popcorn Time and charged $15-20/mo for unlimited movies, I'm sure they could get millions of subscribers.
That's just one symptom of the disease. Linux is polluted with silly pseudo-filesystems to handle systems tuning, poor documentation, and after some time in the BSDs, an inferior userland. Unfortunately, the baby got killed with the poison a few groups of people put in the bathwater.
It's not that you're missing out on something... more like you've been too distracted your whole life to see what's been in front of you all along. There's no way to describe what you will experience because what you are experiencing is merely the present moment, not in the abstract form you experience it now, but in a real way. If you are near a mirror maybe you'll become focused on the shallowness of appearances, or if you are near trash you will commune with the molecules making up that trash and realize that you and the trash are really the same thing.. usually the revelations you make will sound obvious or nonsensical to a stranger, because what you're describing is /what/ you experienced when what is really amazing is /how/ you experienced it.

It is really a shame that there is no legal avenue to experience this, unless you are very good at meditating or happen to have a near death experience.

Safety is not much of a concern...

There are chemical tests you can use to determine if something is LSD or not. They are available on amazon for a few dollars. Beyond that, all you need is a sober person who knows what you're going through, that you trust to keep up with you for 6 hours.

Of the people I have met who have "acid-head", they have uniformly tripped many dozens of times, sometimes for 48+ hour periods on 10+ doses, and all of them had also used hard drugs.

It is beautiful at the time, to see the world without your own bias. but after the fact it can be a bit depressing when you later find yourself caring about things which you've already realized don't actually matter... running the same rat race whose mere existence earlier made you erupt in a hysterical fit of laughter.

I know i rambled. It's hard to speak in technicolor.
This is from SIGGRAPH Asia which just happened - it is from December 2014.
Are you missing out on something? Yes.

Is there "little downside"? Not necessarily. Compared to other drugs, sure. You're not going to become addicted and it's not going to make your teeth fall out. But let's be real. This is the most potent psychoactive substance ever made by many orders of magnitude. It can connect you to parts of yourself that are deeply buried in your subconscious. This is what brings about the blissful feelings of transcendence, wholeness, oneness, etc. It can also be absolutely terrifying to confront your subconscious, especially if 1) you're not in a good place psychologically and 2) you're not in the presence of someone you trust. What happens is you start to experience fear as the scary things come up or as you start to experience ego death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death). You don't realize that the fear is all in your head and you start to project it out onto the external world with paranoid thoughts. Kind of like you're having a nightmare, except that it's happening while you're conscious. This is known as a bad trip. It can leave lasting psychological damage if you don't know how to process the experience.

Another potential downside is that an LSD trip could trigger a midlife (or quarter-life) crisis. You might come back from the transcendental experience and realize that your life is meaningless, that all of your friends are assholes who don't really know you, etc. You might be inspired to make some big changes. From the perspective of your asshole friends, you will have changed "and not in a good way" ;) But this short-term downside is an upside if you take the long view. If you get your midlife crisis out of the way in your twenties, you can spend the rest of your life doing something meaningful.

There's no way to experience the transcendental upside without the potential downside. But if you're willing to face your own demons, and you take precautions by having a trusted + sober guide, you'll be fine.
"Buying a computer on credit is just as bad, might as well just set fire to money".

You are not living in reality. Most of people live on credit and can't afford to pay for things in full.

I highly recommend Neurons to Nirvana (on Netflix) for anyone interested in learning more about this and other psychedelics.

Better support for unified memory sounds interesting. It was always silly doing OpenGL ES on Android and having to deal with so much work copying the right texture atlas into graphics memory which was really just a different part of the main memory on the same system on a chip as the CPU and GPU itself. It makes sense on desktop and laptop machines with separate GPU processors and memory over a bus from the CPU and main memory, but it is silly on mobile phones.

I also find that if I write down little check boxes with the task broken down into smaller steps, it makes it easier for me to start and stay focused.

Good luck!

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter one little bit if you can convince me or not, as I am neither a federal circuit court judge, appellate judge, or supreme court justice.

I think it is less important that our money be a particular commodity than it is that the government lack the power to manipulate its value for its own convenience.

In my opinion, it is clear that the power to "coin money and regulate the value thereof" is to standardize the exchange rates between coins, probably by weight of the metal, but not necessarily. It is also clear that the coins need not be metal, but also that no one could be forced to accept coins other than gold or silver coins.

Thus, they could stamp out wooden nickels, but that wouldn't make them worth anything to anybody, except possibly for payment of federal taxes. As long as we have those, it is only a short hop to rectangular paper "coins". They can do it, but nobody has to accept them.

But since nobody is trying to pay taxes with Bitcoin yet, and the federal government isn't mining them, as far as we know, there is no justification for them to be standardized or otherwise regulated whatsoever. It might arguably be authorized under whatever clause, but it certainly isn't justified.
I'm assuming that your doctor charges $250 or less per visit.

Well, that just a visit. What about lab tests? Doctor offices can do some basic stuff in-house, but for anything interesting, it has to be sent to an external lab. Depending on the tests, that could be $500 USD a pop, easy.

And the medication is expensive too. That drug may be costing the patient $15 per refill, but it definitely costs more than that in total.
Not just model #'s. Try and find a good and reliable 1900x1080 laptop. I tried and ended up getting a MacBook Pro. I've used a lot of laptops over the years (all Windows based), none of which were Macs. The build quality of this thing is amazing. Yes, it was expensive. Was it worth it? I think it's easily 2x better than the ASUS I almost bought--ASUS and Sony were the ones that had 1900x1080 or higher res. I never buy Sony because of the bad experiences I've had with their hardware. The ASUS got too many bad reviews on New Egg... hence the Mac purchase.

No wonder everyone wants a Mac laptop. They are simply the best.

And, I use Linux and Windows mainly, though I have a Mac mini as a media center. I own an Android phone. I am in no way a fanboy.

I fail to see how Postgres' hierarchy is any worse than MySQL. You have one more layer of hierarchy which you do not need to consume, with the added feature of atomic renaming any of the layers.

If I'd compare this to MySQL, where you must move tables one-by-one to another schema (nay database) with the new name to 'rename' your database [0], then I'm very happy with postgres' hierarchy structure.

[0] That is, if you're even allowed to, because if you have a trigger on your table, good luck renaming your database. See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/rename-table.html
It's clear from the other person's responses that they don't mean it as a jab (which you seem to have taken it to be). Many people have a mythical idea of needing to be a superhuman developer to get any position at a big name tech company. Reading this seems to have made this person realize that such positions might be not as out of reach as they assumed, and they were expressing surprise about that.
Probably not unless the reply to this issue from 2018 https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/381 is hinting about a rc file instead of recompiling with the button disabled in qmake.

Edit: I went on reading the code. The image uploader is hardcoded into https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/blob/97c195452293... and I didn't find anything to conditionally remove it from the UI. But I won't bet a coffee on it after only a 10 minute cursory scan of the code.
Perfect, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I've recently installed Cyanogenmod and have foresworn having any apps on my phone requiring a Google sign-in. This includes Google Play, so an alternative app store with utility apps is exactly what I need.
To paraphase Rich -- "promises are the one-night stand of asynchronous programming, core.async is aiming for a longer term relationship."

The big win isn't that you have the ability to await and fulfill messages, but rather that you have first class entities that can be used to send and receive discrete and coordinated messages.

What's better than simply having these communication channels (think event emitters) is having the ability through clear syntax to synchronize not only the receipt of these messages, but also to coordinate message sending through the same uniform style.

To me, this seems just about as related to promises as promises are related to callbacks, in that they are all patterns for asynchronous programming.

To drive the point home:
"I grant that promises are a superset of callbacks kind of functionality, but to me they are definitely part of the same family. And you can definitely implement promises in terms of them."
Did you find it odd when Vice Media took Dennis Rodman and the Harlem GlobeTrotters to NK?

Eric Schmidt has been traveling around the globe lately as he was researching for his book, he also went to Burma and a few other places. I'm not really sure what the claims are supposed to be, what was he going to do in NK that the State Department couldn't do themselves? Spy? Negotiate nuclear arms?

When Tom Friedman travels to say, Sri Lanka, is it on behalf of the CIA, or because he wants to write another sappy book on globalization?

Sometimes things are much more mundane. Vice media actually got to meet NK leadership (dinner with Kim Jong Un), but they were really just looking to do gonzo journalism -- even if they were debriefed by the government when they returned.
People used to write entire operating systems in that amount of code ;)
Something like Raspberry Pi in a nice, aluminium case with room and cooling for two 3,5" drives would probably sell well as a home server for geeks. I'm hoping that's what FreedomBox will be.

I have 2 criteria for picking an idea I actually want to work on:
- One is how many days consecutively am I still thinking about the idea without forcing myself
- Second is even if no one uses it and everything about it's progress is shitty, will I still want to keep working on it?
I'm all for remote work and offshoring but those things have insidious effects. See how Dell lost to Asus.

>>> "Many large and high class greengrocers of my acquaintance have never heard of the Golden Wonder potato."

A small fact but the entire UK crop of Golden Wonder potatoes is absorb by the crisp (US: potato chip) industry. You literally cannot buy them in normal mainstream channels.

It's late and I thought it was interesting that that breed of potato was mentioned ... Not sure why it was to be honest...
I'd always be concerned of some minor level of corruption to the big file, something that would only ruin a song or two, could render your entire dB useless.
Haha, ok this is certainly an unexpected question :D!
No, we are not identical twins, we are fraternal, meaning we have different DNA and look apart. So we were never able to pull of that kind of stunts :D! But, even if we were, we couldn't really pull it off since we work together since ever so people would realize one of us is missing :D.

The usual situations we get into is that people at the beginning can't remember which one has which name. Luckily, often it is also not important hehe :D.

The worst situation we had so far was probably when we were applying for our first year of uni - our applications looked so similar that they thought it was the same application sent twice by mistake, so they took into account only one of the applications! Luckily we realized on time that something is wrong and were able to appeal :D.

What requires SO to publish this information? This means someone else can legally mirror SO answers, but if that data one day disappeared from the Wayback machine and the Google cache, then what?

If there are third-parties out there actively building caches of SO, then that answers my question.
Very nice. I'll likely be replacing my current React table in my project with this!
Note that you can still do all those things in the Netherlands, you're just comparing the stuff that's already in there to your own documentation.

There was misunderstanding and arrogance from EU bureaucrats about how business works. They have already tracked back ( Von Der Leyen in EU parliament, Merkel in media ).
It's time series data. Yes, it's not case controlled. I said this already.

RCT > CCT > Time series.

So we've got RCTs for each Pfizer and Moderna that show similar first dose efficacy. We've got prelim CCT data that seems to show Pfizer efficacy but a bit lower than we'd like, confounded by possible behavioral changes. And we have time series data that seems to show first dose efficacy.

And then we have the very-confused-seeming over-tweaked analysis of time series data that you keep linking, too, comparing to base population rates without any effort at case control, which shows negative efficacy.

Anecdote: the people that I know who received their first dose decidedly did not become less active, either in the near term (actuality: slightly more active) or the longer term (actuality: considerably more active).
Sure, but what’s the argument here?
It's a noble goal, but they're using Intel hardware. They also don't claim to be free software down to the firmware.

But assuming that's their goal:

They say they talked with Intel about opening up things, but they're far from the first one to try (and not the most powerful ones either, be it by $$$ or influence, unless there's some background story they keep to themselves).

My guess is that they intend well, talked to some sales folks, those promised the moon (and more, if necessary), and when things get serious, the sales persons will be nowhere to be found, while purism is too far down the road to start from scratch.

In the end, purism has to compromise while Intel can celebrate another design win.

So the end result will be that they use the smaller ME firmware (1.5MB is still a lot of unexplained cruft), the FSP binary (www.intel.com/fsp) and coreboot to glue things together - just like every other coreboot-using Intel based design does right now (there are a couple).

The main difference to everybody else will be that purism builds neither embedded electronics that do things no consumer has ever heard of, nor chromebooks.

That in itself is already a nice thing from a coreboot perspective, in that it provides exposure to the project and the issue, but I fear some purism backers will feel let down by such an outcome.

http://puri.sm/posts/purism-software-freedom-deconstructed/ looks like they try to indicate that "this BIOS code isn't all that much". No, it isn't - but it's exactly the part of the code that sets the rules under which the entire system later operates. In this, it's more important than the plain old (say) gimp binary in that huge top bucket, which has not much of an effect on the security or autonomy of the system or user.

I'd love to be wrong here, since either way I 'win' (actually the more I'm wrong, the more I win :) ). I just think it's unlikely given that I'm involved in that mess for the better part of a decade by now, while the purism folks seem to be newcomers with a lot of idealism but few experience with dealing with Intel and their unusual definition of software freedom.
The author points to this line as the main culprit for self-hell:

self.minimum, self.maximum = min(self.minimum, self.maximum), max(self.minimum, self.maximum)`

This line is needed to 'defensively protect the input'), i.e. try to compensate when minimum and maximum arrive out of order. Firstly, I can't understand exactly why this defensive protection is not done before assigning the attributes, i.e. simply:

# not too hellish, more readable on two lines
self.minimum = min(minimum, maximum)
self.maximum = max(minimum, maximum)

Secondly, I'm not very up on my Python Zen, but I think this naming of arguments followed by defensive protection isn't particularly Pythonic anyway. How about something like this?

class Window(object):
def __init__(self, x1, x2):
# pass your dimensions in any order
self.minimum = min(x1, x2)
self.maximum = max(x1, x2)
def __call__(self, x):
return self.minimum <= x <= self.maximum
This is _incredibly_ naive because I'm a total layman when it comes to both, but is there a relationship between category theory and semiotics? It seems like indexes and symbols are similar to categories and morphisms. Again, I really don't know what I'm talking about as I've barely scratched the surface of either but it would be awesome to hear from someone who does so they can tell me that I'm misunderstanding both things (and if I'm lucky, _how_ I'm misunderstanding them).
The code is never trasnmitted. The data is encrypted with the code and only the code on the other side can be used to decrypt it.

Most brute-force systems work by capturing packets to hard drive and then attempting to decrypt them offline. Or you can upload your captures to the cloud: https://www.cloudcracker.com/
It's true that people tend to force OOP onto python, especially when coming from other languages. But I think it's good to mention that in certain cases, keeping state by building a class is necessary, or at least easier than using a module-based approach.

Not sure I agree with this, idiomatic python should be explicit, even if it means more keystrokes.

Powers of 2 remain fundamental to bits regardless of how many bits are grouped together.

I've only made the correct claim that the logical continuance the employment of powers of 2 into units of scale was sufficiently widespread as to be considered convention, something those who created the standards you cite also readily acknowledge.
This reads a lot like people defending D&D alignments.
