I recently switched from Altium Designer to KiCad, because while I do have access to Altium Designer, I wanted it to be more accessible.

KiCad is quite good, once you get the hang of it and the differences between Altium. I was able to put together reasonably complicated boards (OSH Park level tolerances) without a problem. If you want to do stuff like DDR routing and the like I don't think it's up to par, but most hobbyist projects (well, most projects in general) are very suited to KiCad.

I even designed an entire PCB on it from my Novena, which was pretty neat (2nd generation open source hardware!)

The oddest thing is that there's no built in standard part creation wizard, there's an online tool for it but it's a bit less than ideal.

Post links. The one I posted was the most recent I found (October 2015), but most studies I saw (every one I checked, N > 5) reported distinct success for FMT in their abstracts.

[EDIT] You've posted a link now, and the article is behind a paywall. There may be a correlation between that and the fact that it didn't get any upvotes, but we'd need sizable trials to be sure. :)
Are you talking about the paper where they replicate keys from the roof of a building across the street when the keys were on the floor some several hundred feet away from a photograph? :)
This is exactly the kind of problem that framing your ethical system in terms of "rights" tends to obscure (I'm more of a utilitarian). I think that you are morally justified in stealing to keep yourself from starving, and at the same time, every individual land owner (if they obtained their land by legitimate means) is morally justified in not hiring you to work for them. There doesn't need to be a moral winner and moral loser in every situation.

I only support property "rights" because I think they lead to better overall welfare in the world-that-is. If in some future state of the world they turn out to be harmful on net, then I have no qualms with saying that we should scrap them.

"The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" is a fascinating book, as so much of P.K. Dick's stuff is.

Another interesting drug, or rather drug system, is the one used by enhanced Culture people in Iain M. Banks' amazing novels. People are modified to the extent that they can secrete a number of different drugs at will, or "glanding", which allows them to get high/drunk and sober again among other things.

How does a healthcare system or private clinic acquire such software? What is the solution? Are the bottlenecks monetary, political, access?
> And you still need to solve the driver problem...

Um. If we're talking about 2005, we're talking about Android.

If we're talking about Android, we're talking about brand-spanking new hardware on a brand-spanking new phone.

This means that the audio driver didn't exist, which means that it was being written from scratch. This makes the "driver problem" a non-issue.

> Remember we're talking Linux in the 2005-era (~2.6.10-ish), not Linux today. ... ALSA was still mostly broken at the time. Most stuff still wanted OSS.

I never tried to do any "pro audio", [0] but that's not how I remember it. ALSA worked just fine. Anything that wanted OSS worked well enough with ALSA's OSS-compat API. I can't remember if the software mixer was around or not at the time, but I remember that when it did arrive, it eliminated that problem with single-stream sound cards.

[0] But -as I remember it- most folks doing pro audio used specialized, standalone hardware for it back then.
I'm always curious to see the plans people followed, if you wouldn't mind sharing.
There's a very strong political will to "reform" torture by the CIA (i.e. stop it), just as there was when the police did it [1]. Racism, fraud, corruption have existed and will continue to exist, and will continue to be fought viciously for many lifetimes to come, both in the US and throughout the world.

Police misconduct is real here and all over the world, as well, and will also continue to be fought. There are no quick fixes, and it's important to be outraged and voice one's outrage when we see it, but let's not give up and paint all LO with one brush, as their existence most certainly contributes a net positive to society.

I think the typical approach to the bottleneck issue with regard to traffic analysis attacks is that the machines on the edges can act as mixes. They can essentially launder traffic from within their respective meshes so that any intermediary between them can't do attribution. Of course, you have to trust the mix! So what then? Then communication to them has to be encrypted and onion routed, and moreover, continuously sent (even if what is encrypted is the message, "No data here dummy, this is just chaff") and then that has to be sent along, all so the mix doesn't know that you're actually communicating anything.

It's a whole category of research really. Papers like Herd at Sigcomm and Vuvuzela at SOSP are the two latest I've seen and following references there should be helpful. I think if you look at Herd there are a few tricks in there to lower the cost of all of the chaff with the superpeers (or whatever they call them, I read it a while ago). A hybrid system that mixes meshnet schemes for local peer to peer traffic with secret sharing schemes and mixnets for more disparate networks seems workable to me. The question is what benefits does the meshnet provide over the mixnet style schemes?
I generally end up using an online tool [1] for high pin count parts. It's not the best though, someday I will write something better.

BTW, in most professional contexts, parts are all created by the engineer - vendor part libraries are pretty rare. I know Altium is trying to change that, maybe soon we will see something similar happen with KiCAD.

Math teachers in the US often don't have a math degree. Of course they feel insecure! - they are not really equipped to teach their subject well.
I think your Altium experience might be a little stale. Microvias in Altium are really easy since at least three or four years ago. It also supports basic SPICE simulation, but I've never used it. I use external SPICE and RF tools for most of my simulation needs. I've had good success designing RF boards in Altium and the only reason I would want to use Mentor Graphics would be if I had some massive digital design with high speed buses everywhere. You get what you pay for, but Altium is a solid tool at a decent price.
I'll let the historians figure it out. All I can tell you is that Moby had already established himself worldwide by 1989. I know this because I had one of the largest MOD music collections in Florida from 1987-1993 http://bbslist.textfiles.com/407/ and this stuff was way more popular in Europe, I wasn't even part of the demoscene, I was just an unknown ANSI artist. Moby (Motte) was one of the most prolific, talented guys making electronic music at that time. When I heard this one in 7th grade, I couldn't believe what I was hearing from my IBM PC/AT speaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKEmR6mWl1U the rain and thunder samples, it was unique and unprecedented. This track is from 1989 because I was still living in Coral Springs when I heard it and here is the Impact Inc pack http://arabuusimiehet.com/break/amiga/index.php?mode=group&g...
While I totally agree with you, and try to avoid imposing on others with my vaping (albeit less harmful than cigarettes, people don't like the smell, the clouds, the scare, etc.) I think that the damage caused by secondhand smoke outdoors is probably negligible. It's not lingering in the air the same way it does indoors.
I'm not making any assertion about Zuck, so no. Your comment implies that he didn't have the struggle that you referenced. I was indicating only that this implication is unfair, not that Zuck had necessarily had it.
They're both stimulants, of course they go hand in hand! ;)
>I wouldn't get angry with them, but I would certainly blame them for thinking something is possible which a small child should be able to tell is not.

Your domain experience is showing. ;) A small child doubtfully knows what pixels are, how computers represent data, how an image is actually displayed, and why you can make them smaller with minimal (meaningful) data loss but you cannot make them larger.

That part confuses lots of people. From children to adults to my grandparents.

Also photo restoration is black magic to some people - and a joy to my heart when I get the opportunity to restore a photo for someone.

It found aspirin most likely has a protective effect.

It found no strong evidence of any association for acetaminophen, but the 95% confidence interval on the result is pretty wide. So it doesn't entirely rule out the possibility of there being a relationship, and based on its results alone it's entirely plausible that a test with more statistical power could find that it doubles your risk of Alzheimer's disease. But it could also plausibly find that it has a mild protective effect.

Regardless of which is the case, this study still strongly challenges what's being suggested by TFA. Even a doubling of Alzheimer's risk resulting from a lifetime of acetaminophen use is nothing at all like its suggestion that Alzheimer's is a disease that was unheard of before the development of NSAIDs related to Tylenol.

Like some people have pointed out it's not uncommon to do so when privileged employees are fired, a rogue sysadmin can bring the organization down to it's knees out of spite and if they even remotely capable do so with sufficient plausible deniability to avoid prosecution.

The lack of an exit interview is odd, but not uncommon in many cases especially in smaller companies where your direct supervisor or line manager is not your "technical" supervisor so the exit interview is pretty much pointless.
Small organizations also tend to be less compartmentalized and they assume that knowledge transfer is unnecessary which might be the case in some cases and really not the case in others.

If he wasn't fired for gross misconduct and actually made redundant even in the UK severance is often paid, heck severance is paid even in cases where it's not warranted because employers rather to settle right away than face a unwarranted termination law suit (if you are officially made redundant there is statutory redundancy pay which employers very often increase considerably ex-gratia which is also tax exempt in the UK), the lack of notice can also point to the fact that this might not have been such a clear cut case of redundancy because although in some cases employers will just give payment in lieu of notice.

Now regarding the case he could've warned them and while he "owed them nothing" anyone with any respect for his work would've done so in such case, a better question would be why would a system which could incur such a hefty payment was setup in the first place and how it was authorized and by whom because. No one in their right mind would go into an agreement that could lead to such fees unless they are utterly incompetent as if the system misbehaved and transferred data excessively or that sysadmin would've gotten sick or otherwise incapacitated the same end result would've occurred.
If the sysadmin was in charge of the setup for this system then he was utterly incompetent for not being able to see a clear business risk regardless if this was just a quick hack that he intended to cancel a week later.
That said the whole ordeal smells funny a 100,000 connection fee for a single monthly usage even at the "dawn of the broadband age" in the UK seems utterly impossible a E1 line would not cost you that a year, so not sure how they could rack that bill over an ISDN30 line (BT Megastream probably).
I didn't realise it was a paywall. If you search for "Mixed Results for Fecal Transplant in First Randomized Trial" you'll get through the paywall.

I hate paywalls for this reason, but I didn't find any non-paywalled versions of the article -- they all just seem to cherry-pick the good result and completely ignore the other one.
I'm not up to date on terminology to do with two-factor authentication, but shouldn't it be "currently possess" rather than "own" the resource or device in question? It is important to remember what can go wrong and invalidate the assumptions of the protocol, e.g. theft or duress.
> Property rights are the prototypical example of a negative right

That property rights -- which are the state-protected privilege to exercise exclusive control of some abstract or concrete thing and restrict others freedom of action with regard to that abstract or concrete thing -- are often cast as a negative right is a perfect illustration of the fact that the distinction between "positive" and "negative" rights is far less fundamental than many people try to portray it, and is in many cases purely an artifact of the language chosen in a particular description of the right.

> If you don't have enough to eat, it's because society didn't provide a way for you to feed yourself; it's not that specific person's fault because they didn't hand over their sandwich.

Conversely, if I have a right to acquire the necessities of survival, I can identify a specific violator: whoever it is that actively prevented me from acquiring the existing thing that was necessary.

The positive/negative right distinction, even recast as a "specific identifiable violator" distinction, isn't really all that useful: you still have to define which rights exist (even if you've decided which classes of descriptions of rights are acceptable, whether its "only negative" or "only those with specific identifiable violators"), and you still have to deal with the fact whichever rights you decide should exist are likely going to conflict.

> This seems to be the main point of disagreement between us. You seem to be saying that if someone doesn't have enough to eat, then it is everyone else's fault individually. My point of view is that it's possible for someone to go hungry without it being anyone's fault in particular; it's just the result of a bad system.

Unless there doesn't exist enough food to eat, the only reason somebody doesn't have enough to eat is because someone else -- either individually or collectively -- has actively taken steps that deny that person access to the food that exists.
I wrote about this many years ago and I think my conclusions back then are still valid: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2009/7/24/singletons-and-their-probl...

Turns out other languages have evolved in the mean time and came up with much better solutions. In particular with dynamic languages ES6 modules in combination with npm's approach to package dependency management is the current benchmark. ES6 exposes bindings instead of values which solves a ton of issues that Python will never be able to fix with it's import system.
also, the "any" wifi network is misleading since you have to be connected to the the wifi network which for most networks implies knowing the password.

Property rights are the prototypical example of a negative right

In what way? Suppose a piece of land is unowned. How am I to obtain this land without the positive right to do so? If I decide to obtain this land and the local population ignores my decision (and attempts at enforcement) and continues making use of the land (for hunting, fishing, exploration), who is the "violator": Me or society?
This most likely wasn't at will employment, they put him on garden leave or paid him in lieu of notice this isn't uncommon in cases where the employee can harm the organization, especially if the manager feels that there's a good chance they might do that.
My mistake. I thought this was by the CEO. It is not.
This is quasi-ad hominem, and yet there's a kernel of truth to it, i.e. being a software engineer doesn't necessarily make you a critical thinker.

Pursuit of market share vs pursuit of profit. Amazon seems to want to dominate every market they want to get into. While Walmart focused on dominating one market - retail.

I compare Amazon story to Gold Rush. Once Amazon penetrates gold mining business, it wants to move into business of providing tools for gold mining, storage, distribution, and consumption. The profits from the initial gold mining efforts goes into building organizational infrastructure of gold vertical as well as entry into another new vertical.
I've seen actual near-airgapped systems that communicate by fax as risk reduction. Email-to-fax gateways rendered attachments and such in the DMZ, then dialed into the secure side, the theory being that owning a T1 fax card over the PSTN is much harder than sending a malicious email.
> Could you explain what problems you have consolidating your bills with credit card statement - I'm not sure how number26 do it but after 48hrs our statement should be the same as if we didn't show you the auths.

In case of Number26 the times are completely broken when you travel to the US. For instance I get a pre-auth at the time the charge is made with one merchant ID, but that gets reimbursed at a later point and re-charged with a new (slightly different amount because currency fluctuation) and no direct correlation to the previous transaction.

The worst one was where the card was actually charged but reimbursed and re-charged + tip. However the reimbursed money did not match the original amount :-/

And the time between those different charges is way beyond 48 hours.

Not necessarily, if you know the channel you can create a network on the same channel and then flood that one with noise. It should cause a bunch of packet collisions and retransmits which would slow down the victim network. Haven't tested this yet, so this is pure conjecture, I don't actually know if this style of attack works. If someone does try it please do post back.
> What would a satisfactory "why" even look like exactly?

Before deep learning happened, neural networks used to be popular for regression and interpolation problems. For a long time, our understanding of how they worked wasn't much better than our current understanding of how deep learning works.

In 1994, Radford Neal showed [1] that weight-decay neural networks were in fact an approximation to Bayesian inference on a Gaussian process prior over the space of possible functions. Amongst other benefits, this allowed better approximations to be utilised, and essentially (along with the advent of SVMs) marked the end the first neural network era.

Something like that is what I would consider a satisfactory "why"

Mozilla has really lost touch with its users.

Good on them for backtracking on this, but it's a symptom of high level decisions taken without running them past anybody else. Pocket is another one of those symptoms.

There is no reason these things can get past development and the various betas without people yelling out "hey, we should not be doing this, it's damaging to our product". This happens in companies that have become too large to understand their own users.

And it's not limited to Firefox - Mozilla as a whole no longer understands its core mission. Its motto of "Freeing the web". Development on absolutely critical components of a free web such as Persona or a good email client stops, to make way for development on the completely unrealistic Firefox OS.

Not that the world doesn't need a free mobile OS, but Firefox OS is not it. Not only is it doomed to be awful (layers on top of layers on top of layers... browsers are not great for batteries), they're spending decades of manpower trying to match android 2.0, then selling that to users. I had the misfortune of trying out the Flame. What a disaster that was. I can't see myself ever trying out fxos again without a lot of changes and convincing, so go sell that to non-technical users...

The cool thing is if you have a card that sends push notifications. Because they go through your bank they often arrive faster at your phone than the transaction settles on the terminal. I had a magical moment where I saw a charge on my card before the ticket machine saw it, and then it failed to print a ticket because it was out of paper and before the error came up, i already got a push notification that the money was reimbursed. Networks are fast.

At a nice coffee shop, most of what you're paying for is not the coffee. You're paying for the place to sit down, the convenient access to Internet service, the atmosphere, etc.

If there were more price transparency in the whole situation, it wouldn't be a flat $3 for a basic cuppa. It'd be more like $1 for a to-go coffee and $5 for sitting in. Or maybe a flat low price for the coffee plus an hourly charge for a chair.
