I'm presuming Windows because "not very technically inclined" but at this point when I help such people it's mostly a matter of A) verifying UAC is active and at or higher than the default [1], B) verifying Windows Defender and Smart Screen are active and up to date (Windows Update).

In every case I've seen of Windows Defender or Smart Screen being disabled or out of date it almost always seems to be the fault of a "security product" the user was talked into buying (especially the Norton Insecurity Suite). Defender and Smart Screen together silently but capably do their job at handling the main issues for a not very technically inclined person's systems and I find the harder issue is convincing them not to install games from disreputable sources (random poker websites, the weird shadows of once sort of reputable places like RealArcade and WildTangent) that install irritating adware and occasionally spyware, short of "taking away the UAC keys" and forcing them to call me to type in an admin password to install software for them, which I don't have the time/inclination to do.

[1] If a not very technically inclined user complains they see too many UAC prompts they are probably doing something wrong and you should help them figure that out.
"Are you joking? Intel uses (even invented) so much verification tech it's crazy."

That's kinda why I am sniggering. Intel has a rep for letting bugs go to silicon despite all that stuff. In terms of verification, they dropped the ball probably (unless they found these bugs in verification and decided to tape out anyway).

One area where they fell on their face seems to be AVX.
From TFA, "Certain Combinations of AVX Instructions May Cause Unpredictable System Behavior". That's a huge bug. Remember how we discussed the torture testing of floating point on the RISC-V ? Kinda similar issue. A customer wouldn't be happy with a huge bug there.

The big 3 of EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsis, Mentor Graphics) provide their own tools for verifying this stuff called UVM. Like anything, it still relies on the person using the tool. It takes a lot of effort and planning to use this stuff.

Whenever the verification engineer has to create Verification IP to test the IP, there's a chance they create bugs of their own. It's like a golden rule.

That's why I am not a fan of formal methods.
Nothing is proven until you have it working in silicon.

If less than .5% of the families you raid have the ability to defend themselves via lawyers and PR [as is the case in the OP], literally only one family in 200+ was able to and willing to do so....there won't be any consequences.

The OP basically has emails/internal communication basically stating they want drug users to "fear" 4/20 in their communities.

It is a campaign of terror.

> Thanks again to all of you who worked on this. I think for a first time even this was absolutely an outstanding success. The media coverage was 99% positive on this which is pretty darn good as well. We’ve had a lot of suggestions for this operation next year, such as having a telethon type billboard with a large green marijuana plant filling up as the pledges come in, making T-Shirts and whatnot. One agency had the observation that if this continues for a couple years 4/20 will be something to fear rather than something to celebrate.

> The press release sent out the morning of April 20 announced that police would be targeting 375 houses across both Kansas and Missouri. But Wingo later reported that police found just 52 marijuana grows. That’s better than single digit number of grows found in 2012. But it also means that more than 300 households were wrongly targeted.

Notice how, of the 300+ people wrongly targeted, no one complained in a substantial way?

The police, quite literally, are used to suffering no consequences for ridiculous rates of error.

Similarly, every single time they make an arrest its noted as a positive performance of their job duties. Its simple incentives built into the way the officers are reviewed like that that drive this. [e.g. If you view your job is to make arrests, you make arrests.]

Other than a nebulous "it works at short ranges and is snag-free", I can't point to point to anything quantitative. I think that's in part because the design is uncommon.

Trench sights show up every now and then (e.g., Colt New Agent), but the Guttersnipe is (and I think remains) unique in that the sight channel was tapered. For the sight picture, imagine a square divided into 4 triangles: left, right, and bottom would be from the sight, and the 4th would be an open triangle on the target. When sighting, one would balance the three sight triangles, and put the v notch that is formed on the target.

There are some that claim that simple geometrical shapes, like triangles, have a speed advantage in optimizing the sight alignment (e.g., Advantage Tactical with their "pyramid" shape, or Steyr's trapezoid sights) over the more familar notch and post. That sounds like something that should be easy to test, but I'm not aware of a well-conducted study (amateur or otherwise) that sheds useful light on the question.

Edit: Just occurred to me, the Guttersnipe does have a far shorter track length than conventional sights. Not sure how that is meaningful in practice though.
Mark my words, DNNs are not really the most efficient structure for predicting model due to the "distributed" representation that makes them good predictors, but also makes them hard to train and resource-consuming to apply. In few years DNNs will be replaced by more efficient models.
perhaps I missed the memo. Tesla's are now available on hourly lease? for cents per hour? in my reality a shitty zipcar compact will run you $25/hr (likely much more unless you return it exactly at the predicted time).
Perhaps you should look at research instead:

It is ridiculous, as is a heavily armed tactical squad being called on a quiet suburban family of four. Unfortunately it's the sort of bullshit that the public seems to allow when it's framed as a "War".

One possible way to flip the debate might be to re-frame it as police "War on the Constitution". I'm not sure if it will work, or if there's better wording, but the author tries to do it in the article:

"The Fourth Amendment was a response to the invasive, sometimes violent searches of colonists’ homes by British soldiers armed with general warrants to look for untaxed goods."

If I recall correctly, Apple let you chose the one provider you want without requesting a separate sim from each. This instead lets you use multiple providers using a single sim and hops to best one as they becomes available. Its much similar to Google-Fi in practice.
And it’d be even something that politicians could realistically say!

Apologies I wasn't aware over-policing black neighbourhoods was one of their issues.

It seems to be rare that this issue specifically gets raised. Usually the media focuses on the conduct on officers upon an altercation rather than how often police are engaging with black people needlessly.

As the parent comment pointed out, the use of counting the amount of altercations as crime data is a worrying point. Amplifying the side-effects of over-policing certain areas.

And HN's War On Headlines continues, changing the headline from the one used in the article ("This Weapons Designer Was a Real Life Man of Mystery") to something that completely obscures one big reason why this story is interesting, namely how much secrecy still surrounds the man and his work ten years after his death.

I know HN regards "clickbait" the way ISIS regards shaving, but replacing headlines with alternatives that make the story sound so boring nobody would ever in a million years click on it is not an improvement.
Apple says it is encrypted on the server, but it's not clear if it is end-to-end encrypted with the keys staying on your devices. Likely the keys are encrypted with your iCloud password for multi-device use.

>Except when a tenant is kicked out of their apartment with no notice, they might literally die. When Routebuilder gets shut down ...

The owner of Routebuilder loses income, gets evicted, and might literally die.

The impact might be small on Routebuilder's end users but destroying someone's business is destroying someone's business even if their business value was trivial.
Uber/Lyft/etc...This has been the end game since the ride sharing economy started. Hail an autonomous car to take you wherever you want to go for a very low price. It will make owning and driving your own car obsolete. In fact, with the insurance companies, very few people will be able to afford their own car/drive it in populated areas. I can see some parts of large cities banning all non-autonomous cars altogether for traffic and safety reasons.

Uber is very much planning for this, it's the end game. Travis has even verbally told Elon that'd he'd buy $500 million worth of Tesla's if they are fully autonomous by 2020.
would this be a nice way to lock someone into a carrier, nah MS would never ever think of ever doing such a thing?
Asking the reporter to check the fix is standard behaviour in my experience, and what I would expect as reporter.
Initiating a legal battle is not for the faint of heart. Few want to tangle with authority, and the kind of people that would implement + enforce such a thing (e.g. school administrators) are notorious for being petty and inflexible. Moreover, they often have lots of legal backing for their actions (due to "in loco parentis" status) that are hard to pin down.

Most parents don't have the resources for such a suit (or defense), and most students probably don't want to risk getting suspended/expelled or sent to a different school for being the one who sticks up for their rights.
I haven't really bench-marked the trafic on RasPi. Only just sent and received some messages. I know it works.

The only problem is when in your RapidSMS (Django framework for SMS) app you need to perform some calculations on each incoming message,... Celery will have to be used to schedule tasks and that can take much RAM ,...including the RAM used by Kannel.

For us working in third-word countries where even Visa cards are not well available, using Kannel is an alternative to Twilio.

Their entire job, every business hour, is dedicated to pushing the future of driverless cars. Do you seriously think they've not considered liability implications and safeguards, something you commented on in your spare time? Do you honestly think that they haven't considered these sorts of things in great depth?
I originally made this for an interactive index where you can query some document parts, and these parts are written in rst -- in essence, it's almost the same: rendering an arbitrary document into a string, that you may or may not manipulate later.

I think he is referring to incorrect map data, which would be much more dangerous than missing map data.

Leaving aside malicious map data for now, high-speed roadways would tend to be well mapped, and low speed roadways should be discoverable in real time.

What could be very dangerous is bad map data in addition to a construction zone or road washout. I do think that places like construction zones will be the first to have V2I (vehicle to infrastructure) installed - to be extra sure that vehicles are aware of unusual conditions.
Content filters are ridiculously easy to implement though. As long as you already have the browsing view, all you need to add is a picker that changes whatever DB query you are using to select the data.

Like in SQL all you would need to do is change this:

SELECT * FROM movies

to this:

SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY rating ASC

When I built a web app for film management, that was by far the easiest thing to implement.
>There are some questions that do not have a satisfactory answer no matter how long you keep looking.

This is true, but in my view, the act of looking has value in and of itself. It opens at least the opportunity for learning something new as opposed to being given and satisfied with an answer.

It is the difference between growth and stagnation.

I suppose someone could get bogged down in trying to find an unfindable answer, though...

You are right, interesting to think about.

I agree to some degree, but also it should be noted that religion merely provides a framework to do good deeds in. People still do good deeds outside a religious framework; it's just that having an existing framework in a town makes it easier to work with than start afresh.

I'd also add that those wrong answers also cause a lot of strife, for example, a lot of Catholics feel constantly guilty throughout their life. While Catholicism does provide community and comfort in some areas, it also provides sometimes wracking guilt in others. Not to mention how it treats you if you aren't part of the 'in' crowd (eg: homosexuals), where the 'community' part of the religion mutates into something monstrous.
Swipe to the right?
This network is already built out (and getting bigger) and is in fact powered with SolarCity panels, but I assume most power still comes from the grid.

Total speculation on my part, but my first thought was that the education market would be accomplished by hosting a MacOSX Server instance to support multiple IDs. I'm most undoubtedly wrong on this, but that was my first instinct, anyway.
> 9.2 Performance Tracing - We also have an internal tool called EEG (not included in the initial open source release in November, 2015) that we use to collect and visualize very fine-grained information about the exact ordering and performance characteristics of the execution of TensorFlow graphs. This tool works in both our single machine and distributed implementations, and is very useful for understanding the bottlenecks in the computation and communication patterns of a TensorFlow program.

The flow graphs look very similar to a talk given by Dick Sites [2, 3], where he talks about performance monitoring across the Google fleet. Highly recommend watching this if you are at all interested in performance monitoring (he has a clear passion and deep understanding in this area). What's really interesting about this talk, is that it appears Google engineers do not need to bake this into their distributed applications, it works at the OS level, along with supporting tracing systems (tagging, log collections, aggregation into a central tool, analytics, etc [4 - Dapper]). So, you get it for free basically if you are running in the Google environment. Compare this with something you want to debug outside of Google, you need to add all types of debug bits into your code, and then do the analysis in your own little silo. Very thought provoking idea. I think this is why they are not releasing it. This is a guess based off a few things I've read though. So, I could be wrong.

ps - if you want to get really crazy about this, you might read into this that they "would like to" or "have built" their own CPUs, to address some of the limitations they see from the talk.

Confirmation of a Coordinated Attack on the Ukrainian Power Grid
I believe it's called "sponsorship".

Audi is funding Part Time Scientists (http://ptscientists.com/), a team headed in part by NASA engineer Jack Crenshaw (http://jackcrenshaw.com/work/me-and-nasa/), who worked on lunar trajectory calculations for the Apollo missions.

The PT team has already received milestone awards from the X Prize foundation for rover development and optical systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Lunar_X_Prize#Terrestri...

The hard part of this mission, of course, is getting to the moon. This team is just working on the rover and its mission once it lands.

You're probably right that they wont make it to the moon, but the purpose of the X Prize Foundation is to stimulate commercial interest in emerging fields and industries. Sounds to me like it's working.
I used to use commercial antivirus products like McAfee and Norton and Trend Micro etc. I went with Avast Home for free. I scan with Emisoft Emergency Kit because it can fit on a USB drive and be portable.

No matter what you do eventually you will get infected by some exploit. Be it Flash, Java, some pop-up ad, or just an email sent to your email client that exploits it.

I got a lawyer still runs XP and Vista and uses ClamAV because it is free. I worry that her systems might be infected, but her husband runs the tech support for their firm. She used to have employees steal data via floppy disks, and these days a simple virus infection can steal data.
"A living" is a rather broad concept. Two factors are grossly overlooked: the general standard of living is rising, and much of that rise results from making it nigh unto illegal to live below that standard. Even the "poor" expect easy indoor heat & AC, toilets flushed with city-supplied drinking water, one car per adult, a cell phone per teen & up, etc. I grew up on hand-split wood heat & no AC, well water, one car for the household, wired phones with 4-digit numbers, etc. - and we were firmly one-income "middle class". Nowadays wood stoves are regulated into near oblivion (near prohibitory particulate limits), heat & AC standards required for "certificate of occupancy" along with high plumbing standards, cars include a plethora of then-unattainable options and must meet very high gas mileage standards, cell phones are a standard welfare item, etc. - all due to well-meaning but subtly devastating requirements to live even in "functional poverty". Normalization of home mortgages, insurance-paid access to extremely high health care standards, and easy access to crushing loans for education, all seem perfectly justified now yet persuasively "force" people to work more and more "to make a living" which many of us saw as luxurious not all that long ago.

You can live well on a whole lot less - as most people did not all that long ago. Ditch the >1000 sq ft homes, instant shirt-sleeve indoor temperatures, waste-encouraging volumes of drinking water, high-MPG with-all-the-features cars, supercomputer-in-your-pocket phones, etc. Get a catastrophic health insurance plan. Pay your way thru college. Downgrade the phone. And elect leaders who seek to make simple living legal, and otherwise decrease burdensome tax rates.

Your "living" standard is your choice. Really. Contain your costs, and you can live on a whole lot less. As always I'll be derided for these observations, but it's what I grew up on.
Why not? They 'license' plenty of things without using their brand name publically, like Gorilla Glass
I can tell that a lot of hard work went into this, which I really appreciate and admire. But I think this approach is fundamentally flawed because it attempts to solve one problem (managing CSS) by replacing it with an entirely novel problem (new syntax and interface for managing styles).

I would rather see tools that attempt to solve hyperspecific probems (e.g. culling unused styles, visualizing namespace collisions) without disturbing existing best practices (e.g. modular CSS, BEM, using preprocessors like SCSS and post-processors like PostCSS).
Luckily this particular practice is no longer legally sanctioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodriguez_v._United_States
How the Plastic Bag Became So Popular (2014)
Even Catholics are quite inconsistent. There's the oddly progressive Old Catholic Church that split off from the mainline at the turn of the 19th century over papal infallibility. There's the sedevacantists who think all Catholic activity after the Second Vatican Council is illegitimate. Even among those, they can't agree whether or not popes after Pius XII even can be legitimate if they recant their alleged heresy, or if it's all lost. The latter conclavists thus actually get to elect their own popes (who are antipopes from the perspective of the mainline).

Then amongst traditionalists and others, they can't agree on whether or not classical liberal principles are compatible with Catholic doctrine or not. Christopher Ferrara and others thinks that all of United States history was a giant mistake and that we should revert to pre-Enlightenment theocracy, Tom Woods and others argue that liberalism is what Catholicism logically leads to.

No, there isn't much certainty about overarching principles. That you can't conduct your own life based on secular morality is false. Most people don't conduct their lives on any explicit morality. The ones that have ever pondered these questions in depth have always been a minority. Everyone else has only trickled down breadcrumbs from some clergyman, or ignored it.
Obviously important to understand actual modern problems like cancer, but in a broad sense this is just the beginning of coming to a complete picture of the origin of metazoa. This was a single mutation that ends up in all animals, but perhaps other mechanisms were also involved in making the mutation survive and win.
Man, I do love those few brief moments when the internet holds an actual debate. Too bad these poor people had to go through all the trouble for it.
I would disagree that those are similar since they don't have the same sight picture as the Guttersnipe.
Well, one could simply modify it to giving points to the employees and delaying the payouts until the company can afford it, then doing it by points so that those who've been at the company longer get more.

Anyway the details can be anything allowable by law, the question is can we do better than stock options. I feel the answer to that must be yes.
