Great breakdown. The animation at the end is more convincing than any fake candle I've seen. I'll make sure to use your model if I ever need to simulate flame lighting in a game.

Nitpicking, but I think this is technically data modeling and not reverse engineering.

Who are you going to call in an emergency? 911, or, um, what's the number of the suicide psychiatric emergency response team?

You don't get to decide whether 911 dispatches police.

"this is to enable programs to have more a more direct and faster interface to data, while retaining data consistency and safety that typically would be managed by the OS?"

No, managed by the database engine. The idea is to put the data-intensive operations of a database engine into a highly parallel SPU. The application would see an interface much like an SQL or NoSQL database.
I thought the whole purpose of manslaughter was that it does not require the intent to commit harm? Apparently, it's actually based on culpability. Involantary manslaughter matches my original ideal of there being no intent. But there's also voluntary manslaughter in which case intention is present but there's some other mitigating factor that reduces culpability.

Which seems to mean that storing only the version in the user's language should not pose a huge challenge, storage-wise. No?
This sounds interesting, but why should this be a new piece of hardware as opposed to a new OS service? Are these functions simply so specialized that implementing them in the OS would be a bottleneck (even though the CPU has plenty of free cycles)?
This is what happens in the US.

I would say for your age, you are taking your responsibilities quite well. Kudos to you for being so positive and inspiring others!
Thanks!

I've just ran through what I had watched any recently. No single title was found. Not even on US Netflix.

And I wasn't watching any obscure stuff - I practically visited popular directory sites (like IMDB), set some basic genre filters and considered watching whatever had >=7.0 and some interesting description. Then, if I liked what I saw, checked some more by a same director.

Guess, I'll have to stay with my parrot and wooden leg.

For one, civilians don't have the role of "protecting and serving" :)

Cops are trained, and are supposed to learn how to handle a situation without pulling out their gun [].

I don't necessarily disagree with you though. It would be good for people to be able to walk at night with a bag of candies without getting gunned down. I don't think that 2 problems should cancel each other.

[] And I know I'm wrong when I say that. I remember another paper showing how American cops spend a disproportionate amount of time practicing with their gun as opposed to cops in other countries where they mostly learn how to handle situations without their arms.

Maybe they shouldn't rush to insert themselves into a situation where they only have 3 seconds to react.
Yes, but: the population of England and Wales together is about 55 Million; the us 319 Million. So that's a ratio of 1:5.8.

There were 3 shootings vs 984, so that's a ratio of 1:328. So it's still a very valid point.
Appealing to authority is not always fallacious.
I went to the Apple Store in my not-so-big town before lunch this morning to return an item I purchased at Christmas time.

Being 11am in January, there was nobody in the mall -- I grabbed a Starbucks (1 customer sitting down) and headed over to do my return. There is a rather long queue in front of the store and 2-3 Apple people taking names to let you in the store. Inside, there are probably about 100-150 customers. It's literally like standing on a train platform -- packed. In the 20 minutes that I was waiting, I counted about a half dozen iPads, 5-6 Macs and about two dozen iPhones walking out the door.

Apple is still on fire -- when I worked retail in the 90s, January-April was death. Hardly any midweek business whatsoever. They probably did more business in a half hour than the CompUSA I worked at in 1998 made in a day in January.
I think you may be underestimating just how much crap customers can deal with before they say "enough" (and just how hard is it to coordinate them to say it together). I don't think anyone is happy that they have to replace light bulbs and electric kettles every other year, but we have no choice - the durable options are not on the market. They have disappeared years ago. And in case of housing, I think the conditions could reach a pretty horrible level before people would be forced to seek something else.

My point is that market is too good at making things efficient. Its goal is to make things profitable. Which is a decent proxy for the peoples' goal of making a product or service "good", but those two ideas start to diverge at some point.
I've been using Python heavily since about 2000.

Approximately 2.5 times since then has whitespace been a problem, and which I fixed in under 10 seconds each time.
Yet, the readability gains from removal of block delimiters in that time frame is uncountable.

> Saving a few keystrokes writing ".format" doesn't even register on the same scale of annoyance

It isn't just .format, it is:

.format(long_variable_name1=long_variable_name1,
long_variable_name2=long_variable_name2)

This is a huge win that should have happened long ago.

In some fields, there is extreme pressure to be "first to publish" specific results, and sometimes multiple labs are working on the exact same problem. In this case, if the "peer" is with a competing lab, they are faced with the unethical decision of rejecting the paper in favor of their lab. Or even worse, of stealing the results and trying to publish first.

Throw in a few mentions of DFS=D&D, plus a few mentions of HandEgg and Superb Owl, and you'd have the perfect stereotypical nerds vs jocks rant.

I'm not sure if you read the (excellent) article, but what's going on here is they lure in rich, sophisticated to make huge, scripted bets across many, many accounts, giving them privileges 'normal' users don't have, in order to create huge jackpots and a much larger cut for the DFS site operator. They then use that take to invest in ads to lure more and more suckers.
How would we judge that?

Per Wikipedia, Stallman wrote the GPLv1 in 1989. I wasn't even born then.

Moreover, I doubt this is a good argument. Would the Mill (youtube.com/watch?v=QyzlEYspqTI) be possible using Free Software (consider the GCC exceptions were pushed way too late, circa 2009 per gnu.org https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1.html)?

Would Linux even exist without at least BSD having been released?

I'm more of a copyleft than a 'BSD libertarian', but I don't think we can look at RMS's contribution by comparing what was before and what is now if for no other reason because it's impossible to separate what is due to copyleft, what is due to BSD-style and what is due to a mixture of both.
Actually no. Apple did hit their stated target - since they hit their earnings target which is the only target they have stated.

The only 'expectations' in these stories are completely fictitious and are made up by people outside Apple.

Well said. Nice to see so many folks at HN here realizing this and not falling for the fluff.
Pricing and strategy of expensive desktop dependency now looks like a huge mistake. My guess here is that Apple or Google is going to come up with VR enhanced phones + cardboard like cheap device that has experience pretty close to Rift before the end of the year. If that happens, their VR devices would be under $200 which would be just accessories for the new phones. That would be far more acceptable to most people then dedicated beefy PCs that fewer and fewer people want in their houses. So the end result might be that Apple/Google VR product might become first mass produced and mass accepted which defines platform, apps and APIs while Rift might slide in to niche for hardcore gamers who want that extra ounce of oomph. There is Occulus Gear VR type devices that might be able to compete but here key thing is that they will really need to control end-to-end experience and this has to be the strategy from the start instead of future pivot or backup plan.
Most photos of text on Twitter are not original content. They're either a photo with no textual content (e.g., selfie), a photo of a twitter conversation (used as a form of archiving in case of deletion), or a photo of a physical text (used to quote a non-digital medium).

If tweet-storms are aesthetically compatible with Jack Dorsey's denim collection, and a character limit isn't meant to replace them, then I don't see how the expanded character limit is addressing an existing problem for users. It's certainly not gonna replace textual photos.
As a man, I respectfully disagree. The link has much value if you're concerned with keeping kids safe, and it's relevant as a direct consequence of the fact that most crimes are committed by men. Your statement about men has it backward. Not all men are criminals, but most violent crimes are committed by men.
>>When a man being chased by police stops his car, gets out, takes cover behind the door and starts pointing something that looks remarkably like a gun at police, he should be shot.

How often does this happen?

A much more common occurrence is when someone sees a suspicious-looking dude walking down the street, calls the cops and says "I think he is armed!" and the cops arrive and shoot him without first verifying if he's actually armed with a real weapon.
Absolute numbers in the last year are interesting, but much more interesting would be trends over a longer period. There's a widespread perception that there is an epidemic of police killings right now, but I haven't seen anyone use data to analyze how novel the current rate is with the past.
They're smaller, but not that much smaller. With a combined population of 56M to the USA's 319M, we could scale their shooting numbers by 5.7x to get something adjusted for population. So if they were as big as the USA they would have ~17 shootings to our 984.

This is great. In 2008 Patrick Collison had a buddy who was using the then undocumented iphone internal apis to make apps. They made a wikipedia dump[0] so they could have the hitchikers guide to the galaxy.

I was surprised that this was only 32gb as is noted below, but if you figure the entire WP dump is ~27gb unconpressed (from comment below) if that metric is all languages you could download a specific language and then modules i.e

Top 10,000 articles. Nature, mechanics, etc. then this thing likely has a global stylesheet so you are only downloading text. How much info do we really need?

Sure 32GB isnt a lit comparatively but even 24GB of text is a lot. 1gb is like 65k pages in a microsoft word doc

With no clips to trade, I'm merely spectating at a tennis match, but I remain unconvinced that the UK response is in any way better.

In all 3 clips (your two, plus the parent's) what I see is that a person holding a knife is an immediate and real danger to anyone within 15 feet of them.

Also, if I'm seeing correctly, both assailants had already been pepper-sprayed, is that right?
Force Awakens is probably not a great example though. Maybe we'll see smaller budget moves jump on Netflix, while traditional big-budget blockbusters scramble to find an alternative release method?

Also: > Profit margins for Hollywood aren't that great.

From what I hear, that's not true, but it's all hidden through magical "Hollywood accounting" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting)
Not that much smaller:

Population Killed

United States 314,102,623 984
England & Wales 56,567,800 3

Don't think land area makes sense. However adjusting for crime rates and demographics would make a big difference.
Political GIFs Have Become the New Sound Bites This Campaign Season
The fun thing is that Server 2008 does, and it is based on the same code as Vista.
Same, I mostly just use it for the original shows, and occasionally I'll go on there when I want to watch a random movie. For normal TV shows I'll usually watch them when they air through "other methods", since it's usually many months before a new show/season gets on Netflix.

There's consistently been a new season of a Netflix show that I've wanted to watch every month for a while now, so it doesn't seem like bad value. It helps that I share the account with a friend though, and I'm surprised they still let people do that.
I have just bought a machine with one of these drives and a bunch of GPU's with the intent of running tensor-flow on it.

It would be easier/cheaper to print out physical copies of the same resources and place them in archives around the world.
I don't know if a netflix engineer reads this:

I still have an issue that I can only watch some series/movies (e.g. sherlock holmes series) only in french + english, while my friends can watch them in english + german. All in same country (Luxembourg).

Changing the language on the tv and resetting netflix (konami code) changed to the "german" version. But now it's back to english + french.

Best thing would be to have access to all 3 languages here and not make any choice/guess based on tv language or browser environment

tldr; no
In your scenario the victim would be classed as "unarmed", not "armed with a toy". The point i was trying to make is that people identified as "armed with a toy" in stats should be grouped along side armed people, not with unarmed ones like the person i replied to was doing. Because odds are, if you're interacting with police and carrying a replica weapon, the whole point of that weapon is to fool people into thinking you're armed.
"This sounds interesting, but why should this be a new piece of hardware as opposed to a new OS service?"

Because the entire point is that CPUs are too slow by themselves, even without the OS, let alone with it. While you were context-switching into this OS server you missed the chance to do 10 IOPs give or take an order of magnitude.

Yet the OS really can't go anywhere. We can sometimes poke a hole here and sometimes poke a hole there but in general they're there for good reasons and not going anywhere, just as no matter what crazy things we bodge in to our computers "things like CPUs" aren't going anywhere either, and my guess is they're likely to stay pretty "central", too.
Then fine, it's probably 5% if you count them in. It doesn't change the fact that all the machines we now have, combined with the fertilizer revolution of the early XX century that started with the Haber process[0], has increased the food production output per worker by orders of magnitude.

At the moment the resolution simply isn't there for multiple virtual high resolution displays.
I did some math a while back, and if I wanted the 1080 display I had at work at the same distance from my eyes in virtual space, I would need 5k by 5k pixels per eye.

Add a high refresh rate and that's far higher datarate than we can handle right now. And you'd need display tech that's pretty insane.

While it's not a replacement yet, if you're happy with some oldschool low res displays it's probably fine. Someone should do the math of the resolution you'd get in some examples.

The project is still 0.5 and it has a lot of cool ideas that most other NodeJS frameworks lack. That being said, here are the things I feel would be worth improving, based on the first video:

Writing tests for the Controllers would be a real pain, because you would have to do a lot of ad hoc mocking, it would be better if the controllers would return something instead of calling the this.render.

You might be able to make the the controllers into POJO's.

The file naming conventions are weird, mixing camel case coding with underscore filenames is just unnatural.

Having a custom 'require' function in the framework, means that any code I write, is dependent on the framework itself.

The automatic migration generation is pretty sweet.

Coupling the data models with DB configuration is a bad habit.

The use of static methods to define aspects doesn't feel natural.

Having one big routing file doesn't scale, the routings should be expressed in the controllers.

Overall I would recommend adding in TypeScript, it would allow a lot more cleaner code.
35 here as well. I still get excited...as long as it's exciting dammit. When I was 24, just being allowed to work on something and get paid for it, was enough for me to feel gratitude! Now?

>The tl;dr is that we will eventually have AIs which are smarter than humans. Much smarter than humans, to the point that we are to them what chimpanzees are to us.
>The second point is that they would have no reason to keep us around.

Questions:

(1) What reason do we have to keep chimpanzee's around? Why don't we just kill them all? They can't even do calculus.

(2) Whatever the answer for question 1, wouldn't an AI consider that same scenario regarding humans? Assuming an AI is truly smarter than a human?

(3) If AI gets to the point where they are much smarter than humans, wouldn't it follow that there would be AI philosophers? Or activists? Or pacifists? Would there be such a thing as an AI civilization? Or is your scenario just a few AI overlords that some how slipped through the cracks of regulation by humans?

The object is merely in the direction of the Alpha Centauri system. If it's in that system, given its brightness, it would probably be a red dwarf, and we would have found it years ago. Assuming it's not just an imaging glitch, it must be either a larger object farther away (very unlikely given its motion), or a smaller and closer body. More observations would be needed to distinguish among the possibilities.

Samsung's Smart Control Is a Remote to Rule Them All
Its all cops, we had guns pulled on us when our car matched a stolen car. Pulling a gun out should be last resort. Unless you intend to kill the someone, guns shouldn't be pulled out. Accidents happen as we seen in SF when guns are pulled out.

Risk mitigation seems to favor police officers even though they picked their occupation with the known risks. An innocent person didn't chose to have a gun pointed at them in order for the officer mitigate risk to themselves.
