The Ember Mug
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ember-temperature-adjustable-mug/x/12596541#/

Amazing new invention - 2 weeks left on Kickstarter, has raised +400% of goal. The Ember Mug is a smart device that uses phase cooling technology to rapidly cool down your hot beverages to your preferred drinking temperature. Then, the mug maintains the fluid's temperature for more than two hours. The team responsible for the Beats by Dre design is helping with the creation of the mug and the app. Product ships in April; Ember's mission is to "will revolutionize the way we eat and drink".
Why is heat loss regulated? Shouldn't I be able to heat my home as much or as little as I want?
Thanks for writing this. If I remember correctly many smarty pants at that time were claiming that US government must impose on tariff on cheap electronic goods from Japan because Japan's industry was subsidized by government and eventually japan will take over entire electronic industry in USA.

All those things Japan did benefited USA and smart people could focus on things other than selling Televisions. We all progressed at much faster pace.

Today people show concern that China is manufacturing US Olympic uniforms and we must impose restrictions on Chinese imports.

You should read more economics instead of just assuming it is what assholes and BBAs do. Al Roth's work on making kidney exchanges function well for example. Economics is a big field. You probably just disagree with the intro classes which admittedly are dumbed way down to "supply and demand"
The article mentions that it's not a wood-framed building, I think implying that it's a true layered (multi-wythe) brick construction:

My analysis doesn't even address brick problems associated with the switch from multi-wythe brick construction to brick veneer over wood framing. (Andres Hall is not a wood-framed building.) Although buildings with brick veneer over wood framing are usually better insulated than old multi-wythe brick buildings, they are frequently plagued by an entirely new category of water entry problems due to flashing errors, clogged air spaces, and missing weep holes. But that's a topic for another article.
Good points. Far as SELinux and grsec combined, it might help if you know what Type Enforcement is really supposed to do in practice. It's not just isolation like rule-based control. The most powerful things about it were "assured pipelines" that could deal with transitive issues or force things to happen somewhat in order.

Relevant papers for it here:

LOCK platform still kicks its successors' (esp Linux + SELinux) asses in many ways despite time passed. Just shows how little mainstream learns from the past or even present in terms of secure stuff in academia. Hope you enjoy the LOCK and CHERI designs if not FLASK, of which I'm not a fan either.
A js -> c compiler would actually be much, much slower than current JITs because of the lack of type information.
If you want to see a direct impact of your donation, I would highly recommend doing it through https://watsi.org (YC nonprofit).

It's one of the best feelings when they follow up on a complete procedure and you see the actual impact you've made.
It's easier to chuck away type information than mystically conjure it out of thin air.

An ahead-of-time compiler can't make JS fast because it lacks the type information needed to do so. That's why you need just-in-time compilation for JS: you can only discover what types go where by running the code.

To be fair, it's not really "remote": he attacked communication channels that are almost invariably maintained deep "behind the firewall". If you are exposing Weblogic's or Websphere's admin ports to the internet, you have bigger problems. A competent setup (I know, a rarity in the enterprise world) will also use encrypted channels for administrative protocols (both WL and WS can do that very easily). A competent application developer (I know, a rarity in the enterprise world) will not send serialized java objects on plaintext over the internet (among other things, it's horribly inefficient).

This is just one of 23432542574358 attack vectors that can be deployed across intranets and already are routinely ignored, and a hard one at that. It should be patched, and it's a bit shameful to leave it lingering for more than a year, but it's hardly the end of the world.

Upvoting you because the first statement is right: there is no Linux security. Why? Security at a minimum requires a formal policy of what it's to achieve along with evidence the design meets that policy. Linux never had it. It's track record for flaws goes way in the opposite direction, too. So, it's insecure by default until proven otherwise and that might not even be possible due to complexity.

Combinations of micro/sep kernels and paravirtualized Linux... from L4 projects to commercial like LynxSecure... at least have a start on a security via isolation argument. A start...

I'm not sure if your comment is sarcastic or not, but it actually wouldn't be a bad idea. Working on a well defined, self-contained task in an open source project can be very rewarding in itself.
" can tell the difference from effects in audio mixing."

Yes, non-linear effects can be sample rate sensitive. However-- this really means that their internal model is aliasing and not faithfully simulating an infinite sample rate system.

In an ideal world, effect that needed more sample rate would internally upsample/downsample (or be constructed in a way that they didn't need to). Then they would behave consistently across rates; though doing this would waste cpu cycles.

In any case, the article is all about distribution. Having excess rate in mastering is cheap and harmless, and-- because of these reasons, can be practically pretty useful.

tl;dr: UBI has a whole host of problems, instead, we should be strengthening the unions to increase wages to force the capitalists to invest in technology that makes us more productive
> is Node and JavaScript feasible to create complex and long living applications

If you know how to quench fires like this one: http://techblog.netflix.com/2014/11/nodejs-in-flames.html

> Not only SAP and other behemoths, but complex web applications like online banking and other similar business-critical system. I'm sure the tech can do it, and the asynchrony pays off in performance in some applications.

Consider using Java instead. There's a reason why Java is still around in the enterprise, and that it's version (assuming it follows semver), is still at 1.x.

> ES6 is adding classes that will make JavaScript more familiar to developers from other languages.

It's just sugar. It's still prototypal inheritance underneath. If you start thinking that JS classes are like classical OOP classes just because JS now has classes, then you're in for a lot of hurt.

> Is there some unique advantage that Node can offer over the more traditional languages like Java, ASP and PHP that are more mature

Besides the fact that you can prototype apps in half the time and mashing the keyboard gives you Mona Lisa? Nothing really. If you look closely at the JS community, they're trying to solve problems that have already been solved in other languages (streams, module management, socket connections, p2p, better syntax etc.)

> is it just better to leave JS for integrations and other simpler tasks

Yes. As a JS dev since forever, JS is best suited for quickly prototyping apps (Phonegap comes into mind), mock servers and API endpoints (express is good on this one), bots and automation (chatbots are a good example). For other tasks like banking, security, gaming, business etc, look elsewhere.
Yes, among many other factors that affect share price. In some forms of stock (e.g. MLP units) the daily share price change is even adjusted for subtracting the distribution.
Not impossible but makes it slightly harder to do IFF and "is exactly one of these true"

I had formulated my yes/no questions when I worked through this as "Is exactly one of these true: Ja means yes, X" Which makes Da yes and Ja no.

If you're interested in web programming in Scheme, but not interested in using Guile for some reason, you might also be interested in Awful (http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/awful), which is Chicken Scheme's full-stack web framework. Chicken is especially interesting to me, and has been a go-to tool for me for years, due to its ability to compile natively (and statically!) on Windows and Unix systems. (Guile, on the other hand, has always struck me as what I wanted Common Lisp 10.0 to look like. Ah well.)

What you are showing is _precisely_ the effect of low-passing, nothing more, nothing less.

See the digital media primer 2 for more information on that: https://wiki.xiph.org/Videos/Digital_Show_and_Tell

If humans were able to hear audio above 22kHz (or what not) in any meaningful way, we'd expect to be be able to demonstrate that effect in carefully controlled studied and then that lack of low-passing may matter; but that isn't what the best evidence so far shows.
Interesting argued. I say: let's try it somewhere that is game, and see what happens. As Bob Reich says, we've been running an experiment in trickle down economics for the past 30 years and it hasn't done most of us much good. I'm not going to buy much in theory either way until I see some attempts in practice.
I like his priorities.

I got interested in the Meteor.js framework a while back when I saw a quote from Garry something roughly like: this is what web development should be like

It must feel great for Garry knowing he has helped so many people.

My point wasn't to glorify capitalism/US politics (besides I'm not American). It was to put feudalism in perspective.

That said, modern government/economy is unfair too, but at least those on top get their power from something tangible (money) as opposed to some bloodline and most people are not exactly serfs.

You can just hang out on an IRC channel for a project for weeks and get a lot of ideas about how things work. Also, if we pitch documentation bounties the same way we do bug bounties, we'd probably have a lot better documentation for software projects. And if your project moves so fast documentation falls behind often, perhaps your project needs to redefine its core features enough or at least mark what is experimental and shouldn't be relied upon too much for production code. None of this stuff really needs someone to be anything more than familiar with general coding concepts. Heck, just hire some random person out of a coding academy and they can document as a way to learn the internals of a project for a while - not a lot of harm can be done to a codebase by documenting it, right?
This is not just an issue with housing. Virtually EVERY product is built with less long-term quality.

I collect antique espresso machines. Some of these are highly sought after because they use big, heavy, high quality components: big brass boilers, copper piping, stainless steel enclosures and big brass groupheads. Compare that with many flimsy, plastic machines today (which rarely last more than a couple years), and it's no wonder there is a market for these older machines.
TL;DR

How is it possible that the proposal of a couple of
Marxian professors from the Benelux—riffing off some of
the more utopian musings of Enlightenment dreamers in a
brief outline of an idea that they themselves concluded
was only “sketchy and tentative”—has been able to
capture the imagination of politicos of every hue in
recent years?

Also

to get productivity growing again, labour has to become
more expensive. And the only way for labour to become
more expensive is for there to be a genuinely global and
militant labour movement

I don't even know what that means. Want to know a surefire way to make labour more expensive? Minimum income for everyone.
Have you ever seen the jiter use SIMD? Having written some test code that was the simplest use case (multiply an array of floats by a float constant iirc) I have not. C# is a great language, but not for compute bound problems.

The rules aren't based on time, but basically on diversity of shareholders (there need to be a lot of shareholders and a lot of shares outstanding) which makes sense.

You need 7m publicly held shares outstanding (many IPOs don't do this, a lot of shares are controlled by underwriters and insiders who can't sell at the IPO) at least 2,000 shareholders and some minimum trade volume. There's a minimum share price too, but that doesn't effect IPOs.
POWER consumes more power because IBM has not optimized for that to the degree that Intel has. The PA6T was extremely power efficient (and was designed by a team headed by the same person who designed StrongARM (became X-scale) and SiByte's (now purchaesed by Broadcom) MIPS chips).

[edit]

To clarify, the difference between ISAs for power efficiency is negligible at all but the lowest powers, which is what I was trying to say in my original response. The Pentium 4 was far less power efficient than the contemporary G4 PowerPC, as a counterexample. If the power difference between two chips is more than 1 watt per instruction decode unit, you can probably safely assume it's not due to the ISA.

>... until you realise these "very basic" features are not very basic at all and pretty much depend on your current use-case. What length do you mean? Byte length? Character length? Code Point length?

Still VERY basic, and all should be provided by the standard library.

("basic" as: very basic and frequent needs. They are of course quite complicated to write. Which is even more of a reason to have them written for developers in the standard library).
I'm not entirely for this and I pinged the author about clarifying that exact point. But it seems his hypothesis is that the contracts mostly have wage increases which long term will force the companies to invest in productivity-boosting technology to scale instead of just getting more labour.
What is the point of comparing a high class building with a low class building? They have not been constructed with the same budget and not to achieve the same goal. Clearly a dorm aims to lower the cost to an extreme, exactly the opposite of what a bank would do.
> I asked about list of concerns so I can tweak my project and eliminate issues

This isn't the right way to think about things. Suppose I violated someone else's copyright then when accused I ask for a detailed list of concerns. That would be the cheap way for me to get out of the problem. That is, I would do the easy work of copying someone else's work, then place the effort on their side to identify the minimum needed to be compliant, and I would only need to make those changes to be compliant.

Your goal therefore should be to not sound or act like a lazy copyright infringer.

> To be fair there were couple of content wording

What does suggest the project did not have a policy of avoiding copyright infringement, or at least not understanding the risks of being loose with copyright law.

> today my GitHub repository was suspended

Which GitHub is obligated to do under the DMCA. You then file a counter-claim if you have "a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled." Following the DMCA absolves GitHub of liability, and makes services like GitHub possible.

The DMCA is also good for you. Without it, the company claiming infringement might have sued you directly, rather than talk to GitHub and go through the takedown process first.

> I am wondering where the line when somebody can just come and claim your project to be a clone and request it to be suspended?...

That line is called the DMCA. It's been around since 1998. Github has a guide to what it means, and why they follow the law. It's linked to from the github message on your repo.

Nor is it a "just". The take down is filed under penalty of perjury. Misuse can be subject to criminal and civil prosecution.

I'm sure that people can be quite creative if they really put their mind to it. We think nothing of paying hundreds of $cash_units for things like tyres and fuel and double-glazed windows, there is no shame in asking for some of that back to build the software that will actually make those companies run.
I feel there's truth to that, but most at the edges. At core there is stuff economists tend to very widely agree on. There was a Planet Money episode outlining some pretty drastic policy changes that a panel of economists across the political spectrum all stood behind. Here's a write up: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2012/07/19/157047211/six-p...
>Those people probably thought they were in the 99% who just needed the convenient 'normal' length.

And they probably indeed were.
The regulation is about energy efficiency of new-build construction, not how much you have your heating on. Partly it's a green thing, partly it's pragmatic, in that the UK has failed to invest in serious power generation for decades and faces the real possibility of brownouts in the not too distant future.

Plants are approaching EOL and they haven't been building new capacity to replace them. They've thrown a bunch of money at wind, but I think that's been more of a handout to (traditionally Conservative-voting) landowners than a viable strategy.
> In order to decimate a signal to 44.1 or 48khz, and preserve high-frequency content, high frequencies need to be phase-shifted.

Your understanding of sampling theorem is incorrect. Sampling alone (not quantization, of course) is completely lossless under the critical frequency.

We demonstrated this in a very clear way near the end, at about 21 minutes in, on the primer two video: http://www.xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml where we show a square wave being phase shifted tiny fractions of the intersample length.
CS is an intersection of arts, science, engineering and maths. The algorithms and data structures are the maths and science side, HCI is the arts/social sciences portion and of course applications, teams management etc are more where it intersects with engineering.

HCI is a less grounded than the maths portions which are as much a science as any part of maths is. But still have a grounding. The engineering side is probably a lot more wishy-washy and concerned with anecdotes than empirical evidence.

That's my opinion as a generalisation.
If you're oh-so-considered opinion of the state of economics is based on what Freakonomics is going on about (as entertaining as it might be), then please quit trying to pretend you give two shits about what economists are really up to and quit using obnoxious conceits like homo economicus.
possible sarcasm? tone always seems to get lost in translation.
To chime in, even in places where people are willing to pay a premium for construction materials and architecture (like in sismic areas) there is numerous cases of the builder cheaping out and osometimes illegally trying to get away with fewer material.

The last months there was again a case of a building constructor using less structural elements than it was legally required to, also violating the number specified in the blueprintS.
And the things of value are measured by the person with the money, not the person producing them. That's often a very direct conflict with the "scratch an itch" culture. Red Hat (for example) give me value (for which I pay them) by giving money to people to work on the 20% of free software (bugs, polish) that are apparently an anethma to many developers.
I apologize for voting this up. Considering the rapid, popular support, I think skepticism and contrarianism regarding UBI are merited, and so it's great to hear good arguments against it to help readers be better grounded. So pretty much any essay to that effect is welcome in my mind.

But if that's all it's offering, don't bother. The first summary is "appeal to he's-a-baddy", and the second is reasoning from a price change.

Any good argument takes the form, "here is how an improvement in your worldmodel results in regarding conclusion X as correct/false". This isn't that.
