That seems like an ethical approach to me. Once you start feeding and messing with wildlife, you interrupt their natural habits and processes. Many animals have starved to death because some "do gooder" decided to feed them, thus raising their populations to an unsustainable level, then he gets bored of it, and now their babies cant get enough calories and starve.

Not to mention the potential of passing on or catching some virus or bacteria from touching feral or wild animals or the slim, but real, potential to get a rabies bite.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

There are algorithms that mimic fixation paths the eyes follow when presented with a novel image, very much related to modeling dopaminergic systems. It seemed to find task-relevant information dense areas first, and then slowly spread out to less information dense areas. I wonder if there'd be any benefit to running these algorithms on images, basically turning them into a video, and then running classifiers based on this video (with or without foveal blurring

The principle you refer to here is Marchetti's constant. It's the idea that people will make decisions about where to live and work to achieve an average commute time of 30 to 45 minutes in general. So the faster transport options are, the farther from their workplace people will live.

And yes, IF you already have a complete network of urban freeways in a metropolitan region, THEN using fast transit options like commuter rail or commuter buses can help take people off of the highways, freeing up space for more people living even farther away. A good example of this "transit as highway capacity extension" approach is the commuter rails in North American cities that only go downtown during peak AM and go to the suburbs in peak PM, and not running the rest of the day. These forms of transit clearly exist to take pressure off of the highways at their most congested time, to free up the space for even more cars and perpetuate highway-oriented development.

Good transit options in the absence of highways have a different impact. And as you mentioned, transforming highways into expensive toll roads also can serve to deter sprawl built along them.
M$ research has AWESOME stuff on foveated graphics. They essentially track your eye movement and only render detail in the specific spot on the display you are looking out. Everything outside your eye's focus area is still rendered but a a much lower quality. Saves immense amounts of resources, imagine your gpu only having to render 20% of the screen at a time!

Irrelevant; it still affects mosh as mosh does an ssh connection first to do auth and key exchange. That ssh session is potentially vulnerable when connecting to a malicious or compromised host.
Doesn't mosh initially establish a connection via SSH, though?
You don't seem to understand what 'profit' is.

Profit is what you have left after you pay the people that the land belongs to, and the expenses of the people organizing and running the operations.
There are 34 words in the link. It doesn't need a TL;DR.
Yes; mosh depends on ssh to set up the connection (auth and initial key exchange).
"The authentication of the server host key prevents exploitation
by a man-in-the-middle, so this information leak is restricted
to connections to malicious or compromised servers."

http://www.eink.com/ appear to be doing development and a year ago releasead a colour eink display. Alas the resolution and 4096 colour range is somewhat adrift from the requirements of such a use as in photo realism. Indeed the market that will boost this area will be supermarket labeling upon shelfs and the like. Even recently a few bus stops in London utilising eink for displaying a bus timetible http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2015/12/tfls-trial-of-clever-eink-l...

But totaly agree it is aperfect fit for such display technology, alas the technology is still a long way off being suitable for this niche usage. Albeit the whole refresh aspect and power usage make it not ideal for current technology, at least the aspect of screen burn-in and ghosting are less considerations from the old CRT days (though they could do a better colour range technology wise).
But Mosh uses OpenSSH for authentication. And if roaming is enabled by default on the client this could still be an issue, no? I'd say it's still a good idea to add "UseRoaming no" to ssh_config.
I just posted this in another comment, but M$ research has awesome foveated rendering: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=1766...
Finally, a new programming language for web apps.
But authentication in Mosh still relies on OpenSSH, so auth could be intercepted by an attacker after which Mosh is completely open to them:

https://mosh.mit.edu/

> However, in typical usage, Mosh relies on SSH to exchange keys at the beginning of a session, so Mosh will inherit the weaknesses of SSH—at least insofar as they affect the brief SSH session that is used to set up a long-running Mosh session.
Which Productivity Software from This List Are You Still Missing
Wow. I had no idea.
This is false. See Chapter 4 of Peopleware. There is not actually a trade-off between quality and speed of delivery, especially not when you look medium- or long-term, but also not even in short-term. When you incentivize people to solve a problem in a high-quality way, they tend to also solve it faster and with fewer defects than when they are told to prioritize speed.

Also, none of this is nearly as binary as your comment makes it seem to be. Yes, you might lose a little in the short-term to a faster, but more error-prone, competitor. But as long as the loss isn't so severe that you become insolvent, then you might live to see the day when all of the competitor's errors and sloppy work come home to roost and they fail spectacularly. In general, doing it wrong but fast is pretty worthless, investors and customers will catch on to you and bail, and only the highest level of management will have insulated themselves from the losses that result.

Working for a steadier company that prioritizes building a name based upon actual quality, and is willing to tell customers or investors no when they must do so, to regulate feature creep, ensure high quality standards and accuracy, and so forth, is not only much more rewarding, but also more likely to lead to stable income.

I think the type of binary, winner-must-take-all-as-soon-as-possible thinking is very destructive. It's not a useful mental model of how this stuff actually works, but because so many managers believe that it is, they engage in all kinds of unnecessary and self-destructive anti-quality patterns, and they end up damaging everyone in a tragedy of the commons sort of way.
Right, but mosh uses ssh for initial key setup. I suspect it is possible to exploit that. (As an occasional Windows user who's using the Mosh Chrome extension, I have no idea how much risk I'm at; can't edit ssh_config, it's not even exposed)
And only the last `Host` entry in that config, if present.

> Why is it that way in the real world?

It's an interesting discussion how the nature of concrete items involved in calculations might affect the precedence. I think that, since "apples" and "oranges" are clearly more closely related than "friends", it makes sense that they bind together more closely in this case. Also, the order in which the items are presented has some bearing on the interpretation.
Btw, there will be some clumsy-admin fallout, as putting this into sshd_config by mistake will cause a running-but-unreachable SSH daemon. (Guess how I found out ;))

I'm in a similar boat, my keyboard (Steelseries Apex) is wider than the Oristand itself. What I did was I went to Walmart, grabbed a $20 shoe shelf and put it on my desk, and I ordered a ~$80 VESA vertical monitor stand (for 3 monitors, because the pole is much longer - a dual stand might work too) to elevate my monitors.

Other options for wide keyboard users include the Varidesk Pro Plus and the Winston, but they cost way, way, way more than $25.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I also bought a laptop elevator stand for around $30 - they're pretty common and can go pretty high. They're the ones with three segmented legs that you adjust at varying angles. Takes a while to get to the right position though.
Even easier, just place this text:

UseRoaming no

on its own line in your ~/.ssh/config file. If you don't have such a file, create it and put this line into it.

Doing that will only protect you in that OS X user account, but I bet you only ever use one account on your Mac to SSH anyway.
It might be a competitive advantage relative to a random, older company that isn't well-respected in the tech industry, but compared to working at an Amagoobooksoft, I think you'd be at a disadvantage.

To you, the person who's defending Bitcoin, it might possibly be acceptable, but to the average person they'll pay the 11% or whatever fee if it means that they don't have to wait for some feckless machine to artisanally process their transaction.

Not sure if it's that easy you'll need over the horizon radars to have coverage over the ocean and it's not like they are cheap to build or easy to operate.

You'll also need to integrate that system across borders and jurisdiction which isn't easy politically.

It will also not surprise me if many actors want to have certain level of privacy as far as international airspace goes.

But the biggest factor at the end is cost compared to the relative costs of S&R missions if you did had additional tracking data.
In the past 25 years only 3 scheduled passenger flights were not found including MH370 there were quite a few other private, chartered, and cargo flights that went missing mostly in tricky areas to search for in the first place like the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean.

It's doubtful that better radar coverage could even help with such cases even if you build a network of over the horizon radars which will scan for aircraft at various altitudes e.g. 2000-30000 ft. This will be very expensive and when you have a small aircraft that crashes onto a mountain side in an area where S&R can't get too or crashes over a 5KM deep ocean they might very well not help that much.
Yep. Not representative of an individual who might have motivated my comment, but:

Seed round: "Marketing Bob, you'll be employee #2. 1% -- 4 year vesting, 1 year cliff. You'll do everything from writing blog posts to attending conferences to talking to every single customer."

B round (2.5 years later): "Marketing Bob! Great news: we're now worth a billion dollars! That owes an incredible amount to your heroic efforts! You have excellent ability to become a co-founder at your next gig! Which starts whenever you want it to! We strongly recommend you start planning for it right now, and we'll even clear your calendar for the next two weeks to allow you to devote all of your efforts to planning! We hope you are socially aware enough to understand what we are saying here!"

Marketing Bob may well be CEO Bob at his next gig, but he'll be entering it being a) fired and b) having had ~$3.75 million stolen from him. (One would hope that the co-founders would go to the mattress with their VCs when the VCs say "Come on, vesting, we all know how it works. Of course the employee stock pool gets the 37.5 basis points back. That's like twenty engineers -- we need every point now!")

And maybe too, people that believed privacy can be achieved on the internet will finally look at the problem of believing the 2 general paradox can be solved without at least 2 different constant link on different plans.

This is true, and is often overlooked. Many startups are internally funded, and grow through profits. These companies are typically more conservative in their business strategies, because people tend to have less risk tolerance with their own money, because there are no outside investors pushing for accelerated growth, and sometimes because of more limited finances.
