I think you are underestimating the impact of the subtle nature of the differences. For me, it really kind of annoys me that FF seems to have a looser UI than Chrome. It's those couple of pixels of padding between address bar and tabs, it's the wider/longer tab due to padding, etc..

And now that I think about it, it's even things like the tab behavior where Chrome condenses tabs and FF just pushes them out of view an adds the disgusting scroll UI. Maybe that's a personal preference thing, but I would very much prefer having a dense overview rather than having what is essentially a nested scrolling.

This becomes problematic when its inconsistent with an institutions messaging. Michigan is billed as a great educational institution—it's too large to make a broad statement— but it's not.

It attracts thousands of students looking for a world-class education but it is not in that business. But I don't know anyone who would fault it as a research institution.

we are talking about losing weight, right? most american meals come with a side of fries, rice, pasta, or bread. digestible carbs like sugar and starch are the easiest thing to cut out of your diet with no other impact. you dont need to start eating some other food to make up for the nutrients you arent getting. you can just cut starches out of your diet.

i am talking about being mindful. saying "dont worry about macros" is the antithesis of paying attention to what you eat. for the most part, starches are fillers.

I'm not really seeing a vulnerability here. The entire IPv4 internet is scanned probably hundreds of times a day. Was anyone really counting on IPv6 addresses being longer to add security?

You _can_ actually do this with just one quad per plane (or maybe 2 quads - one for the front face and one for the back face)... although you're right that you can't do it using CSS (yet).

A few years back, I wrote a tech-demo^W game for Ludum Dare (http://ludumdare.com/) based on using GLSL shaders to ray cast within a cube containing voxels. I then used these cubes as 3D "sprites" for the game.

See http://matt-williams.github.io/ld29/ for the game and http://ludumdare.com/compo/2014/04/28/voxel-map-algorithm/ for a write-up of the technology.
How do you articulate a technical AI project to a Mark Zuckerberg sized audience? I'm anxious these posts will lack the detail I was looking forward to.
What you are doing is just moving the goalpost a bit further. Once the computers can learn the rules by themselves, someone will come up and write that it's not true intelligence because of xxx reason. How do you know your own intelligence isn't computational?
If someone is detecting which IPv6 addresses are in use in your range from NTP requests, that implies they are all talking to the external NTP servers directly.

Surely if all your internal hosts are talking directly to the external NTP servers you are doing it wrong? My gateway box sets itself by pool.ntp.org and the internal ones set themselves by it. I thought that was how you should do things (even if it isn't a rule, it is only polite to try not overuse a public resource).

> These addresses are 128 bits in length

Only 64 are relevant here: once you make outgoing connections from any address a scanner knows there is at least one active host in that /64 and there may be more. Though of course a 64 bit address space is still impractical to scan.

"This year, I'll teach my simple AI to recognize patterns. I'll train it to recognize my voice so I can control my home through speaking. I'll train it to recognize my face so it can open the door when I'm approaching, and so on."

The announcement is slightly disappointing, in the sense that face and voice recognition are fairly solved and there is code on github that already allows you to achieve this. I was hoping for more, like at least an AI engine that can scan his shirts and recommends what to wear but I guess he does not have that problem.

How I got a CS degree with pen and paper and why I'm doing it again
Thanks! The game is almost 12 years old now, which still feels weird to think about. I did have high ambitions to make it like the next timeless game (like chess), including making it a bit less tactical and more strategic, but my own ego and life got in the way and it kinda withered on the vine from me not keeping it updated, making a proper multiplayer version, not making it cross-platform enough, etc.

I even turned down a request from the Puzzle Pirates guys to include it as a minigame in their game (that was a mistake), and OmgPop almost paid me to make a version for their website (shortly before they made Draw Something and got bought by Zynga), but I was too busy trying to finish my degree at the time.

I've been tempted to start an open source version to get some help developing it, but I started getting more into board game design lately and I've been programming less and less in my spare time. Kinda hoping I get a reputation in the board game world and then get a board game version of Proximity published (it's an abstract, so it's a harder sell to publishers).

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Hopefully someday I'll put out a newer version of it.
I can't imagine a lot of businesses that come with lower risk attached than consulting:

You don't need equity.
Profit margins are high.
Depending on your particular expertise your services will be in demand for years to come (anything software-related).
If you do it right you can work for several clients at the same time. At least you can always have a full sales pipeline so losing a contract won't be an end-of-the-world event for you.

Growing a consulting business beyond yourself, not selling your time but results, those are more of a problem but risk? Not really. At least not when compared to other businesses.

It's a touch focused pattern. With a keyboard and mouse you had the ability to right-click or use a modifier key while clicking to bring up more options.

For more and more users touch is going to be their primary experience and eventually you are going to need some method to provide more options to the "power users". Longer-click seems the most obvious and common of the patterns.

You usually end up struggling with sub par plug-ins and unintuitive UI's that are a nightmare for you and the customer potentially wasting more time doing that then doing a custom build.

The point is it takes a 10X programmer to recognize when a out of the box popular solution might not be the right choice for the customer.

Actually there is some recent work on using deep NN's to improve go ai's. This is the same sort of AI used in state of the art image/voice recognition and does try to go beyond exhaustive analysis to extract some deeper latent structure.

It isn't reinforcement learning though. That isn't state of the art (at the moment), instead modern deep NN's are learned by gradient descent. This can be made to work really well but isn't regarded as similar to how biological neural networks work.

Their marketing graphics on the website show that the carrier signal would be broadcast from a node on a building surrounded by subscriber nodes, with another carrier node a few blocks away.

So it definitely appears to be a 'last mile' type technology. Since everything (on the face of it, anyway) suggests that this is a poor fit for long-range implementations, I find it odd that their marketing materials imply that their tech will help bring broadband to the ~20% of the USA where broadband isn't available.

Yeah, I'd like to hear more AI people (or anyone really) talk about practical solutions. AI will not enslave us or give us utopia; we will have enslaved ourselves with cameras and phone lines long before an AI has a chance to. Or utopia.

Large swaths of the population unemployable though... That's a real issue.

A living wage is the only good solution I can think of. Alternatively, pay people to dig and fill holes, but it's expensive and kind of pointless to make up unskilled jobs for people to do.

I do wonder how much a living wage would cost in the US though. Shift some money from defense? There's a good job for AI: balance a budget based on pre-defined policy goals.

The idea is to have a maximum line length that makes sense to human beings, and that's what the site does now. It is very pleasant to read the text.

Thanks for considering the feedback.

PS: The typographical rule I based 32em on comes from the general rule that, there should at least be room for two alphabets (a-z) on one line. I found 32em to be a sweet spot. The em unit scales in proportion to whatever pixel size you choose for the font, or whatever font size I tell my browser to enforce, so it's highly consistent.

PPS: Another bonus for having a sensible maximum line length, is something I'd never thought about unless it happened to me. It's the nuisance called eye floaters. It's basically an obstruction that floats around in your vision. So whenever the eye moves, the obstruction will dash across your field of view to follow, before coming to rest again. The less the eye has to move in general, the better.

PPPS: For HN (and wikipedia) I eventually ended up making a CSS rule that would override the width of various sections, to comply with the human inside. It's just that there is no line-length attribute, so it must be hacked together specifically for each trouble site.
> Other countries, like Japan & Germany, treat housing as a consumable good or even something that depreciates.

Vancouver isn't a country. The country is Canada, and Canada has places where your real estate will depreciate, like somewhere in the middle of Saskatchewan. How properties value over time is determined by the market conditions. Neither Canada, nor Germany nor Japan are communist states which flat-out dictate your property value.

The values of the buildings on a property themselves depreciate as they age, everywhere in the world. Nobody will pay as much for a run-down place that needs demolition as for a newly built or renovated, "move in condition" place. That doesn't matter so much if the property is valued 10:1 or more over the structures on it.

Tokyo is an ambiguous term because it simultaneously refers to a metropolitan area in which some 37 million people live, which spreads far beyond the city, and the property market prices and dynamics differ.

Japan as a whole went through general deflation through the 1990's and early 2000's and it may be returning. Its population has also been shrinking.
I think you can never get the Turkish "ı" and "İ" with any sane combination on any other keyboard than the Turkish though. I'm Turkish and have been living in Germany since more than 5 years and I still use a Turkish Q layout just for this reason (I occasionally have to write in Turkish). It also contains all the German letters under relatively sane combinations.
Its not just about finding new things to do. Huge areas of jobs are about to be obsoleted and there won't immediately be vacancies that offer pay for those left out. For example: when self driving auto technology replaces delivery trucks, what will the truck drivers be doing?

> you dont need to start eating some other food to make up for the nutrients you arent getting. you can just cut starches out of your diet.

If you cut out starches, you need to replace those calories with other food. If it isn't vegetables, it'll probably be animal products, which are way less healthy than the innocent potato.

> for the most part, starches are fillers

I don't think so.

"THE potato is a very important constituent of the diet of many civilised nations, and it may be considered to furnish, with bread, the bulk of the food of the rural population of such countries as Poland and Russia. There is little doubt that the Polish or Russian peasant is nevertheless very healthy and able to do extremely hard work under trying conditions. Deficiency diseases such as beriberi, pellagra or scurvy are practically unknown in Poland."

Good luck, it sounds like a great format! One really nice thing about lossless formats is that they are great for archival purposes since you can easily convert them to whatever format is currently optimal or convenient for end use (if you don't want to use it directly). I shudder at the number of complex video implementations that may need to be supported forever due to quality loss if you convert them.

More likely he is referring to the idea that AI is on the verge of destroying humanity itself. For instance:

Which makes sense. The opinion of everyone I know that has actually worked with machine learning and state-of-the-art AI (as in, written code, ran experiments, etc.) is that the idea of today's AI suddenly waking up and taking over the world is utterly ridiculous, or at least not something we should be afraid of for the foreseeable future.

I don't think you can dismiss UX attempts to discourage checking the total fare estimate as "being bad at math". Yes, someone can work out the logical implications of various alerts, but no, human psychology doesn't always do this quickly or in a way that reaches a reflective equilibrium.

With that said, this is Uber SUV, with a $14 base fare[1], during a confirmed 4.4x surge, which really should alert the user to get an estimate.
