What you are suggesting is absolutely not equivalent to gaussian blurring. Do low-quality JPEGs look nicely blurred to you?

Truncating the coefficients is a low-pass filter, which introduces nasty artifacts such as ringing. The transform of a gaussian is another gaussian, so you could in principle work in the frequency domain but only if the transform is applied to the whole image, while JPEG works in 8x8 blocks (as sp332 pointed out), and in any case there would be no computational benefit over applying the gaussian in the spatial domain.

Jet is trying to save its customers money by not making a profit on the items they sell and offering all kinds of discounts from the commission they would have made all the way to the supply chain cost and passing all of that to the customer.

It's not surprising that this model clashes with retailers they are not in the business of saving people money and they certainly see the disruption this will cause and the efficiencies it will force on them. They will have to get efficient to compete if this takes off.
That's a good point. I guess in terms of the constraints you wouldn't mirror those to your history schema anyway?

The changing schema is not so easily solved. Again, you could be a little looser with it. Don't remove columns from the history table (just mark as nullable). Adding columns would be a similar thing.

I guess I'm thinking of the use case of wanting to get a bit of extra history of free vs the "needs to be auditable, 100% correct, user queriable" scenario.
In principle, it works on Nvidia, but Nvidia still does not support 1.2...
But, new pluggable engine for OpenCL 1.2 is in plan, and it will have optimizations for Nvidia, so, it is not something that is out of reach.

Sometimes I end up on Bitbucket pages for a repo, and have a hard time locating how I can view the directory tree of the repo. I wouldn't call this "superior." It's not unfixable, but definitely not superior.

"create something truly amazing takes a lot of time"

I disagree that the qualities one wants in a long term relationship are not obvious with quite short interaction. It's not mere superficiality. You can suss out a person's character very quickly. Instincts are usually right.
After spending quite some time deliberating on this, and not wanting my users in the wild without something, I finally settled on Bitdefender. I control clients from the cloud console, can push policies, run scans, updates, all without user interaction. Right now I'm only using the AV part for most devices though, as enabling the full package of internet firewall and website scanning was eating up lots of resources.

The two follow up contenders were ESET and Kaspersky.
The 'money-mules' are typically tricked into allowing them to deposit funds into their bank accounts. If you open a brand new bank account you are subjected to holding periods for deposits/transfers. If you trick an existing bank customer into depositing, withdrawing, and then MG/WU/MoneyPak a portion of the funds to you then you can do it in 1 business day.

A common variation of this in the USA is with check fraud. They trick unsuspecting people into mobile depositing a check and then transferring a % of the funds back to them. I suspect in the Russian scam they are using the botnet to imitate victims as a sock5. They have all the information they need so they just initiate a trade and then block their access to email+banking+??.
Really cool of you to document your insights, I wish more people would do that :)

Yes. However, if it is very cold water, then it lowers the mouth temperature, which could take it below the 'heat' threshold.

While I don't normally think in terms of slippery slope arguments, this would easily fall into such territory. After all how hard would it be to prosecute a cop whose illegal evidence goes a serial killer off the street? Give it a generation or two and we would end up with cops who only get convicted of the worst breaches, and effectively zero constitutional protection.

Pretty fun. I did experience an EXTREMELY frustrating issue though. I tried multiple times to complete the simulation. However, you really need to hijack the back button or at least the backspace key. Hitting the backspace key without selecting the code editing window immediately navigates you away from the simulation and forces you to start the entire thing over. Extremely frustrating to say the least, and it prevented me from finishing it.

The author rests his entire argument on illusions to "the mind" that are untested and impossible to test. For example, "If you work quickly, the cost of doing something new will seem lower in your mind." Not sure how we get into someone's mind to measure the "cost of doing something."

We could not confirm or disconfirm this as truth, say in the context of an experiment. This phenomenon is better described by the concept of immediacy of reinforcement. As one decreases the delay to reinforcement, the strength of behavior maintained by that reinforcer increases [0].

@mildrenben Great work. Solid collection and love the other rrrepos as well. :)
bundler.io has a very good explanation[1]:

After developing your application for a while, check in the application together with the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock snapshot. Now, your repository has a record of the exact versions of all of the gems that you used the last time you know for sure that the application worked. Keep in mind that while your Gemfile lists only three gems (with varying degrees of version strictness), your application depends on dozens of gems, once you take into consideration all of the implicit requirements of the gems you depend on.

This is important: the Gemfile.lock makes your application a single package of both your own code and the third-party code it ran the last time you know for sure that everything worked. Specifying exact versions of the third-party code you depend on in your Gemfile would not provide the same guarantee, because gems usually declare a range of versions for their dependencies.

There will be vulnerabilities in native apps, there will be vulnerabilities in web apps or, put more simply, there will be vulnerabilities.

I think this approach dilutes the meaning of the term keylogger.

For example, Google sends your keystrokes as soon as you start typing in the search box, and uses this for autocomplete. Presumably you didn't read the full T&Cs before you started typing your search query, so by your logic this is a keylogger. But I think most people would make a distinction between this and a "traditional" keylogger.

Just for the record - I'm not condoning this behaviour or arguing that it is desirable.

They do. From the link you provided:

public_repo - Grants read/write access to code, commit statuses, collaborators, and deployment statuses for public repositories and organizations. Also required for starring public repositories.

repo - Grants read/write access to code, commit statuses, collaborators, and deployment statuses for public and private repositories and organizations.

Also, I don't think they need write access at all to your repositories, so I think the default no scope would be sufficient

(no scope) - Grants read-only access to public information (includes public user profile info, public repository info, and gists)
There are not exploitable (at least not the same way). Firefox PDF viewer is a modification of PDF.js, so PDF.js code would run in the browser without a web server.

WP plugin shall be safe as any web application (unless it introduces similar security hole in its code, e.g. XSS).

There's a reason Stratasys is in trouble. Same reason IBM was in trouble after PC clone makers started eating their profit margin for lunch.
Thought so.

Also this shouldn't need pointing out, but I did answer at least one of your questions:

> You do realize they're still taking your money by force, don't you?

... with the response:

> How do you intend to have money without a central bank?

I guess I could generalise it to "plus law courts, legal system and police force," if you like.

The real problem you have is that "someone taking your money" assumes you have money in the first place, and there's no such thing as money absent a framework that provides it. Otherwise it's just bits of green paper/coloured metal/bits on a computer.

We are trying to emulate some human capabilities. In doing so we have created a complex system which can be almost as hard to predict as a human. That's not surprising, that's hust physics.

Having a few odd classicifations is not surprising either. It hasn't been trained like a human and is being asked to select a class where 'randon squiggly' isn't an option.

To get human-like intelligence we need to develop them more as virtually embodied agents. Sort of like kids.
As a retailer myself, I wouldn't be thrilled with the model where the customer pays with their credit card on jet.com, then jet.com pays me with their own credit card and contact info. Not because I don't want the customer saving money, but because I am now not clear on who the customer actually is.

What happens if there are customer service issues, an out of stock situation, returns, refunds, chargebacks, etc? Is Jet.com prepared to deal with all of that in this middle-man setup?

Strict behaviorism? I'm advocating for the experimental analysis of behavior (sometimes referred to as radical behaviorism). When applied to practical human problems, it is referred to as applied behavior analysis.

The study I cited provides support for the authors conclusion. However, his description is flawed because it doesn't provide means for prediction and control of behavior.

This world view is a very 19th century clockwork universe one: if we know all the initial conditions in sufficient detail, we can predict the outcome. There are two problems with this: at a fundamental level, quantum mechanics says you can't know the initial conditions with infinite precision[0]. Second, even at a classical physics level non-linear systems with very similar starting points can have very different final states. As a practical matter that means even if the rules are deterministic, you cannot predict with 100% accuracy what the outcome will be.

So we have a complex non-linear system (your genes) and a very very complex non-linear system (the environment) that make a very complex non-linear system (your brain). Because we have all of these complex non-linear system interacting together, we cannot determine what will happen in any practical sense. We can probably make some observations that will generally hold about some decisions a human brain will make (e.g. it's been a few hours, it will be hungry and decide to eat), but these are more probabilistic rather than 100% concrete deterministic rules.

Agreed. The reason the arangodb team give is the different concurrency models between arangod and node, but I don't think the problem is insurmountable. From the programmers perspective it would be no different from using node's cluster module.
The only viable rich client app frameworks I'm thinking of that are sandboxed are Flash, Java applets, and the OS X app store. The first two are at different stages of being universally disabled for security reasons, and the latter hasn't taken off and is not portable like the first two.

Mobile is a different story of course, but also not portable.

I did this when I had 3 cats a while back.

It's hard work, but it goes like this (over a couple of months!) only move onto the next step when the cat is comfortable

1. move the litter box next to the toilet
2. slowly raise it to toilet height
3. put it over the toilet seat
4. make an insert for the toilet with litter in, and small hole for drainage
(i used a sheet of 5mm pvc iirc, and a heat gun to mould it into a bowl that sat over the rim of the bowl)
5. slowly use less litter
6. when there's no litter left, make the hole slightly bigger
7. keep repeating making the hole slightly bigger
8. when the hole is full size, take the insert away

1 cat hated it, I think the splashing noise scared him.
The other didn't mind.
The youngest loved it.

In the end I went back to the litter tray as it was distressing cat 1 too much.

The worst thing about this training is it takes months, and I only had one toilet, and removing the inset litter tray was a huge pita!

There was something quite odd about going to the toilet and it being occupied by a cat though!

Here's a pic of cat3, happy as larry. Even after I put the litter tray back he carried on using the toilet for a few weeks

https://thisaintnews.com/static/user/pics/1219881600/1220319...

I think it would work best if I had 2 toilets, so it wasn't such an effort for me and guests to use it, and if there was only 1 cat instead of 3.

It's too much work trying to train 3 cats to use it at the same time, and to convince them the floor is not a better option
I work with industrial automation (I design robot scientific instruments). I use a $400 printer from Wan Hao (Duplicator i3). I also have access to Stratasys. I don't care about the Stratasys.

The $400 Duplicator produces parts that I immediately put into production. They are very high quality (in appearance, in tolerance, and in strength).

We saw this before when the PC cloners ate IBM's profit margin for lunch.
I'm bored by web dev. Where is the cutting edge of tech and how do I get there?
Hi all. Recent college graduate here.

Did a lot of hacking for a couple years back in the early 2000s as a kid in PHP, Perl, etc. before losing interest. Recently graduated with an unrelated non-STEM degree, turned down an investment banking job because I didn't enjoy it much, and thought of recapturing the excitement of my early hacking days. So I taught myself Rails, etc. and am a dev at a web app startup.

And I find it pretty boring. I find that it suits the other devs pretty well as they just genuinely enjoy writing code and scaling backends. Me, I'm more of a big picture guy, and all I keep thinking is what we're doing here has been done hundreds if not thousands of times. I'm realizing now that I enjoyed my days hacking as a kid because it was all somewhat new and pretty fucking hard to figure out without all the immense resources at our disposal today.

So I'm wondering if it's possible to recapture this experience, and how. I'm pretty unmotivated by money at this point, so I would gladly take a paycut to do it. I keep coming across "deep learning" and "CRISPR." Is this the cutting edge? Do I need to go back to school to get involved? Any input appreciated.

Thanks.

About 1/2 of this article is about the reporter discovering people with his last name living nearby, and trying to contact them.

The rest of this rambling tale shows Oklahomans as either backwards disbelievers that cling to their beliefs in the face of evidence, or jaded cynics who see politicians and environmentalists saying one thing and doing another.

At one point the reporter found a high schooler, who believed in climate change but didn't want to feel responsible. And that seems to be the thesis of the article - that a lot of climate change deniers aren't denying climate change, they're denying that their little body and little car could possibly impact this great-big planet Earth, and so something else must be going on.
