I shoot as a hobby (steel and paper), and have a loaded gun on me at all times at home (on the bedstand when sleeping) for self defense. Removing that not only kills a hobby that I love, but also places me at a mortal disadvantage if the situation arises. I'm actually for non violent felons being allowed to still have a right to self defense. If we had a program that could actually rehabilitate violent felons (the prison system DOES NOT do this), I'd be all for those people to be allowed the right to defend themselves as well.

The people that are interested in causing you harm for their own gain really don't care how they do it; at this point in time the best equalizer for all is a firearm.

The angle on a tyrannical government, and keeping that problem in check, is a whole different discussion and probably isn't suited for this forum.
Neal Stephenson is also paid by them. And he writes fiction. Thoughtful, interesting fiction. I remember when lots of credible people said that the Segway would change life, and whole cities would be built around it.

You can't make decisions based on information you don't have.

An unknown ideal is not "higher" -- it's unknown -- as in, you don't actually know that it's "higher," and you couldn't do anything about it even if it were. You certainly can't believe in the unknown.

"Pursuit of the unknown" is not itself an unknown ideal. You should look for new information. That's not a mystery, that's an ideal you can have right now. If you think there's a better ideal than that, then I don't know what to tell you.
I'm sure the technology will find practical uses, eventually. It's just that if immersive shoot-em-up games are to be understood as it's main selling point for the foreseeable future (which going by the video, is apparently the takeaway they'd like us to have), then you can count me as decidedly... unenthralled.

Would it be possible to artificially delay the world by 15ish ms? A person would have to fully have a headset on (so it'd be more like VR than AR), but perhaps it could deliver a time-delayed view of the world only once the augmented pieces are ready to render.

Edit: you'd still have the motion-sickness challenge, but perhaps at least the 'layers', so-to-speak, wouldn't appear separately.

Not sure what "we" and "plenty of" mean. This is regulated state by state. And the number of laws (?) is irrelevant if they are ineffective.

Ohio, for instance, has gun shows that advertise on TV and facilitate casual gun sales. Not even a Walmart, just a booth at a convention center.

* Some states have permissive gun regulation.

* There is no consistent, nationwide background check system.

* There is a large field of options between where we are and "take guns away from all civilians forever". We already prevent the sale of grenades. We prevent the sale of gas. Doing so makes it harder for criminals to be criminals in particular ways. We can similarly restrict the sale of certain kinds of weapons to make it harder for criminals to be criminals, just as some of our other rights are restricted outright or through case law (including free speech, freedom to assemble, and others).

I have reliable sources who have tried the tech. It is real, but many years out from mainstream (5-10 seems like a probable range).

That is silly. Getting stuff "removed from the Internet" is entirely nontrivial. But they can "seek" as much as they like, I suppose ;)

It isn't that clear but Scott Aaronson did make an admission in this article that I do not believe he has made before -- he admitted the D-Wave compute exhibited quantum effects:

"As far as I’m concerned, this completely nails down the case for computationally-relevant collective quantum tunneling in the D-Wave machine"

I believe many of his previous blog posts had argued strongly that there was no proof of any quantum effects in D-Wave computers, but I could be misremembering.
I've been trying to come up with a response to this and keep ending up in a rabbit hole of thought.

Ultimately what I feel is that we can step away from the micro image of religious and cultural influences, and actually look at what is right for all of humanity. We have a pretty decent system for that in what the world considers "basic human rights"

I would argue that an honor killing culture is by definition mentally ill. Of course I may be a fairly shit point of view for this, because I ultimately believe that all religion is a form of mental illness. It's not a popular opinion, but I maintain it.

In my experience, "summer hours" mean half-day Fridays over the summer. I'd never heard the term until I moved to NYC.

To elaborate: Apparently the idea is that people could use it as travel time for weekend trips. Drive up to the Hamptons on Friday after lunch, have a full Saturday/Sunday to relax at the beach. Though I use it primarily for afternoon naps.

Maybe I'm just wired differently, but I have found OpenBSD to be the easiest to latch on to by far. It has the simplest installer and sanest defaults (again in my own opinion) of all the BSDs, and it's the most similar to Slackware that I've found as well. Its only downsides for me have been hardware compatibility and speed/responsiveness as a desktop OS.

> Slackware will keep chugging along, though, as always.

Indeed, they were more or less silent on the whole systemd issue for a while but Eric Hameleers recently mentioned dropping udev in favor of Gentoo's eudev specifically because of what he calls "standards-violating systemd crap"[1] in udev, which means Slackware will be a safe haven for at least the next major version or so.

I don't really buy the "criminals have them, so I need one too" argument.

Are you genuinely so in fear for your family's' safety, that you need a firearm and ammunition on hand?

If that is the case, and I were in your position,I would seriously consider moving elsewhere before I armed myself.

I live in a country where they were banned some time ago for all civilians who don't have a very good reason for owning one. ("Because I like them", or "I need to protect my property/family" are not considered good reasons).

Many farmers and rural types were very angry about the ban when it was proposed and implemented. But now, the vast majority of the population considers it to be the crowning achievement of the politician who implemented it.

Guns and gun crime are now so rare in my city that almost every time a gun is used to commit a crime it is front page news.
I've loved WP Engine so far but this leak and the lack of transparency has me concerned. Hoping WP Engine will explain the situation soon.
Bear in mind that technology will soon let people create arms in the privacy of their own home. Then it has to be the idea that gets banned, so good luck.
The Founder of Outlier Shares His Tips on Commuting by Bike
Understandably Cause for Alarm
If a laymen disagrees with the vast majority of scientists, he is not intelligent no matter what he likes to think of himself as. Intelligent people are aware of the complexity of the world and their own ignorance of a subject are aren't so hung up in their own egos that they think they're smarter than an entire field of specialists. So if you think the skeptic laymen is more believable just because he's a skeptic, well, you're not really taking the intelligent position because you're ignoring the context that he's in opposition to nearly all of the experts.

Yes it is for security features. Services get your message and if they operate on system resources they need to know who you are so they can either execute some action or not. Sure, this can be pushed to other layers instead (selinux for example), but it doesn't change that the functionality is needed.

This impacts issues like configuring wireless networks without being an admin. (which is what most people want in practice)
Thanks for posting this, fascinating and promising work!

Is "Knowledge graph" the hip new way of saying "semantic web"? or is it fundamentally different?
I don't think you would have to do that. Couldn't you write a tool that just patches out the "be stupid if this is an AMD chip" code from an intel-compiled binary?
It seems to be the same effect as people getting Macbooks because... they have an Apple logo on them.

Technically, either Rust, Python, or Go is superior to Swift in every usecase it has. It doesn't fill a niche, its just Apple would rather reinvent the book than use an alternative on iOS, and they wanted clean compatibility with their other NIH language Obj-C. Its a nice compromise language for applications, but it is currently an app language without a framework outside Apple operating systems.

Besides that ecosystem compatibility its just worse than the alternatives besides the whole Apple is behind it so everyone is developing in it because they dream of working at / for / with Apple for some reason. Are Mozilla, Google, and and Guido just not sexy enough anymore?
Thanks. I think it would definitely work if the collision code is within the same module, in the same way the current physics, where mario is pulled down by gravity down to the ground and no more. If it's calling out to love.physics, I suspect there will be issues, and I think there can be workarounds, but I cannot say so for 100% until I've tried it thoroughly myself.

I built this prototype to see if it works, I'll be able to take it further. Currently, I don't think I'll be able to use it for development myself because it's API isn't well designed. I built the minimum to emulate Elm's mario example, but a lot more work needs to be done to be used in a proper game where file saving, loading and calling out to the external framework is involved.
Like most insane directives I'd imagine this one isn't intended for the masses. Only for the ones you want to compel. This isn't as technical an issue as we'd want to believe.

They want to be able to light a fire under your ass. Once they light that fire, the technical issues are moot.
There is a small discrepancy in the article:

> Go supports the := assignment operator, which works like this ... All this does is look at the return type of bar(), and set the type of foo to that.

This is a misunderstanding of the := operator and how type inference works in Go. If you look at the language spec (https://golang.org/ref/spec#Short_variable_declarations), you can see that the := operator is nothing more than a shorthand variable declaration.

x := "foo"

is shorthand for (and functionally equivalent to)

var x = "foo"

Type inference is orthogonal to the := operator and is a little more powerful than the author implies. For example, Go is able to infer the type of literals, including inferring the type of a numeric literal based on the presence of a decimal point or the symbol for the imaginary number, i (complex and imaginary numbers have native support). It can also infer the type when you assign a variable to an element in array, slice, or map or when you receive from a channel. Of course it can also infer types for values inside of a struct, map, slice, or array and for keys in maps. The only obvious difference I see between type inference in Go and Rust or Haskell is that in Go you must always define the return types for functions, but there may be more differences I am unaware of. See this playground example for a demo of a few different ways that types can be inferred in Go: http://play.golang.org/p/8ep340vLky.

A word on their customer service:

WPEngine has demonstrated exceptional technical support for me over the past 3 years, but this post demonstrates a serious shortcoming. The address consists half/half of "what we did (or didn't do)" and "what you now need to do." Had they had better customer support, the ratio of the former to the latter would have been much larger.
After the first problem, the one that's a tutorial, did you feel like you could actually solve the second challenge? I still feel completely lost. For the most part I understand the problem it walks you through, but I feel like I don't even know where to start with the second one.

I know how to program at a basic level with higher-level languages like python, but I'm finding this low-level stuff rather difficult.

In general, I would talk to family and friends and get a recommendation on a personable dentist that will actually take time with you. Word of mouth is really your best bet.

I would try and stay away from larger practices where a dentist owns multiple offices. Not that there is anything wrong with multiple practices, but it's a broad filter for getting rid of dentists who are overly profit focused.

I would only go to a dentist that thinks amalgam is perfectly safe to use. Largely because there is no science to support otherwise and removing amalgam fillings actually releases more mercury. I like medical providers to believe strongly in science.

In many states you can look a dentist up with the state dental board and see if any action has been taken against the dentist by the board. For example, North Carolina's can be found here: http://www.ncdentalboard.org/license_verification.htm and you can also find out if they've ever had their license suspended.

Contrary to many opinions here, this is not a new problem. For many years encryption products included "work reduction" schemes. Not backdoors per se, but schemes that allowed those with the insider knowledge to bruteforce the encryption in a reasonable time. Those without the knowledge (the public) still faced strong encryption. It worked back in the 90s. With today's computing power it is likely no longer practical.

Dark dark days for privacy, and it came back to bite us as the FREAK vulnerability, but those in charge today are old enough to remember such tricks. That's why generals still talk of cooperation to create reasonable backdoors, they confuse true backdoors with the old work reduction schemes.
How do you market your online tool: if you build it, will they come?
I have mixed feelings about this. An experienced programmer might know the best way to structure a application simply from past experience. In this situation, a blueprint ensures that everyone is on the same page and saves an enormous amount of time that would have been spent refactoring code.
Qt and Gtk's single threaded event loop are akin to what Go calls it's scheduler. That scheduler in Go is also (partially) single threaded, but event handlers run in other threads.

Having event handlers run in separate threads is very much supported in both Qt and Gtk (they can't be UI event handlers in quite a few cases, but network events and file reading in separate threads scheduled by the central event loop like in Go is not a problem).

I will say that it's much better organised and with much less caveats in Go.

And a point of personal frustration : both Qt and Gtk support promises through the event loop, Go does not. I find that a much more natural way to work with threads.
