Exactly. Flickr and Tumblr are both primarily about the content - there's no need to force users to login before they can explore.

Also Facebook, Twitter et. al are the wrong examples to be looking at - brands already so strong people will jump through hoops to use them.

If you're Yahoo! - coming from behind - your brand and even the brands of Flickr and Tumblr aren't strong enough to to require users login before they get to try anything. In the case of Tumblr you might get the _existing_ userbase from the web to come with you but you won't succeed in growing that audience on mobile.

Examples that do use gradual engagement would be games. Clash of the Clans for example - a huge success on mobile - let's you immediately start playing without any form of identification. Many mobile games have strong social elements but they focus first on getting you engaged before requiring anything.
API-wise deepstream.io's pub-sub mechanism is more comparable to javascript event emitters. Events in deepstream are a one-off messaging concept, for persistent data, just use data-sync with records
The most immediate oddness is that rather than left-clicking and dragging things, you right click to select things, and press 'g' to move them. Once you grok that it's not too hard to get started. I miss Blender's UI in other products now.

With respect to Free Software video editing on Linux, I am currently team Blender but I can't say I've tested the other options exhaustively.
This is not at all self-evident, and your logic is flawed: you're saying that X (humans) is a subset of Y (animals), all X have property P (empathy), therefore all Y have property P.
Admittedly I don't know how far we are down this line, but as transistors are getting smaller, and the number of transistors in a processor is increasing, transistor degradation during the processor lifetime is becoming a larger issue, and Skylake is already at 14 nm. I think even experts in the field will be unable to give statistics about Intel processor durability, as Intel are not very forthcoming with such statistics.
IMO this would only be an issue if they advertised that it was overclockable.

If it was advertised with no ability to overclock, you should assume it can't overclock and if you are able, don't assume it will work or will stick around forever.

>I really, really wish they had dropped the 1-based indexing

>, my opinion on this topic is distorted because I spent a lot of time programming in C++

Mathematics-related programming[1] in MATLAB, R Language, Mathematica, SAS, etc all use 1-based indexing. Given that the originators of Julia are MATLAB users, it makes sense that they made a deliberate choice to keep 1-based indexing.

In other words, it was more important to grab mindshare from those previous math tools rather than appeal to C/C++/Java/etc programmers.

One outlier in the landscape of numerical programming is Python+NumPy/SciPy in the sense that it uses 0-based indices. While Julia also wants to be attractive to Python programmers, it still seems like the bigger motivation was programmers of MATLAB and other math software.

Oh, and I forgot the main one of course - lots of places won't let you become stateless. You need to be a citizen of another country already to give up your US citizenship. And that, in turn, is a very long term and difficult process.
Sure but that's not the point I'm arguing (or arguing against).
but it was never advertised as a feature, in fact i believe the opposite is true, they advertised it as non-overclockable.

A better replacement in my opinion is Dynamics CRM (biased as I'm a Dynamics CRM consultant) ... speed of development is quick, runs everywhere with just one set of code (web, desktop app, mobile app, mobile web) and if you need to do something outside the standard functionality it's really quick and easy to write a C# plugin or custom workflow activity to do what you want.

No. This method is used to micro-image the brain cells, not to revive it.

Essentially it kills it (and kills it fast), then binds all proteins so they remain intact.

I've always felt like I was slightly fighting against the Pen tool in most vector drawing apps, especially when drawing Bezier splines. The direct manipulation looks like a massive improvement, and would also be more intuitive with a touch or stylus interface.

Secondly, this is one of the best examples I've seen of genuine UX and HCI research put into a tool that everyone else thought was "good enough".
You can't concealed carry if you're in a bar either, or if you're intoxicated. There are tons of laws around guns.

So if you're a "smart" drug trafficker, you'll forego the weapons. Distributing drugs doesn't seem to be a good risk-reward choice IMO. Maybe these dealers/distributors should evaluate their possible outcomes if they don't like 55 year sentences.
The breakthrough here was injecting a poison that makes revival impossible but allows freezing with synaptic structure intact. Then hypothetically you can slice and scan the brain and simulate it later when computers are powerful enough.

Personally that seems more likely tha figuring out a new reversible freezing process.
For FBAR? There's an amnesty program in place which was introduced during the summer of 2014, which is better than then fines possible under the voluntary disclosure program. See http://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2014/06/18/irs-announ... . That reduced the outrage some.

Before then, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-taxes-foreign-idUSTRE7... reports that after 26 months of work, and at one time with a likely penalty of $172,000, the final penalty was $25,000 total. Does that count as "come across"?

Even without paying the fine, http://www.thelocal.se/20120306/39522 reports "while Pamela may no longer be facing a seven-figure penalty, she's already racked up a bill of $40,000 in accountants' and lawyers' fees." Most of the cases I've heard of (the Reuters piece includes more) are of people who paid penalties under the voluntary disclosure program or had to spend a lot on accountant fees to get things straightened out.

And there's still the stress of worrying if a minor mistake out of ignorance when I send the information to my accountant might still end up with huge penalties in the future.
And also they have ads on the bus, as well as other means of monetizing their trips (books, etc). So there is some bidirectional cash flow apart from those $600.
It's deeply ironic to paint Aereo as taking on those with "unfairly advantaged business positions." Aereo's whole business model was getting other peoples' content for free because of a loophole in the broadcasting laws. It's great to build a business delivering content other people create that you don't have to pay for, but that's the definition of "unfairly advantaged business position."

> his primary pitch is a reduction of costs

I understood it the other way around: the bureaucracy was willing to pay the bill for the closed source options, thinking a large maintenance fee meant fast support. The author, on the other hand, wanted a system that would be more agile, with faster updates, easier maintenance and standards:

"it was horribly inefficient, a maintenance nightmare, not user friendly, and agility was measured in decades.

Our job was to take that mess and fix it. The idea was to build a standard hardware and software platform [...]."

So, as I understand it, easier work for him and his team and indirectly lowering the barrier of entry for future vendors, allowing more competition or a way to fix things themselves. Pretty much the true benefits of open source if you ask me.
What the Apple Watch 2 Needs and Should Have
That's a bit insulting of you, to presume that anyone who forms an opinion of Cryonics beyond "It's Quack Science" is only interested in "living forever", and not to be taken seriously.

The essence of your argument is circular: it doesn't work because it's quack science, and it's quack science because it doesn't work - but it doesn't matter, because you're going to die anyway.

What a cop out. One would think you got your information on Cryonics from watching an old VHS of "The Re-Animator"
> Sigh. Opera is the only (mobile) web browser that implements text reflow sensibly,

Completely agreed. It was removed from chrome because they decided websites should change.
To my knowledge all of the vendors supports that. You need a Z170 board and search a non-K bios for your model.
Women Have Started a New Trend Called “Vagina Weightlifting”
If the passenger seat of your car had a foot brake so the passenger could decide when to brake while you were driving, would that make your driving safer?

Cars already ignore driver braking input when it would be dangerous - that's what ABS is, after all, selective releasing of the brakes on locked wheels.

I can think of plenty of circumstances where a passenger just slamming on the brakes could put a self driving car in more danger.

Still, no reason not to have a 'pull cord in case of emergency' type brake for passengers to use to signal the car to stop as soon as can be safely managed.

This thread was originally about 'how the hell does the US think it has the right to tax people who haven't lived there for over 30 years?' You or I may disagree with those issues, but those people having rights as a US citizen and access to US consulate services may be why the US thinks it has a right to tax them.
Reinforcement learning refers to the general problem of reward maximization where the agent must try solutions for itself and get feedback of the results via some kind of evaluation / fitness function. (As contrasted with supervised learning, where it the agent would be given examples, and would try to learn from that). Genetic algorithms are one specific class of optimization algorithms which accomplish this.

Exploration and / vs exploitation is just a natural consequence of trying to make best sense of the unknown environment. Different algorithms have different strategies for this, and are generally suited for different classes of problems (generally, the issue would be matching the nature of the problem with the nature of the optimization algorithm - which brings up things like the no free lunch theorem).

Lighter bikes don't make you faster in steady speed riding on a perfectly flat surface. The hour record bikes are optimized for everything but weight.

But we are very bad at judging absolute speed without technical assistance, while being quite sensitive to acceleration. Therefore, a slight increase in acceleration for a given effort (or decrease in effort for a desired acceleration) is very noticeable, while an increase in absolute speed would not. So a lighter bike will feel noticeably faster (even though it isn't), while different aerodynamics (e.g. "faster" clothes that give a lot more improvement in absolute speed than a weight difference, even for weak riders) might give a clear advantage on the clock, but you won't be able to notice it while riding.

Light bikes just feel fast, very much so actually. It's a powerful illusion that only gets stronger because it is supported by those few specific situations (stop and go, races with tight corners, all that climbing road cyclists love) where the weight also matters objectively.
Here it is without vertical scrolling:

It's a bit more complicated than that. Right now, you have to file for every bank account you own (or have signature authority for) if the combined worth is more than $10,000. So it's not as bad as I wrote at first, and I appoligise for that, I had forgotten about that factor. But it still surprises people.

Edit:

Oh, and the worth is calculated as the maximum value during the year. So if you get a contract filled for $10 000 and someone wires you the money, even if you imediately pay the rent and therefore have no money in the account, you still have to report the account.

Atheism isn't a club though. You just... don't go to church. I don't think I've ever felt the need to read a book about atheism - what would it say? "There is no God"? Well, obviously, I didn't need a book to tell me that.
If you live abroad & give up your citizenship, I think you should sign a waiver clause giving US government release of liability for any security, diplomatic services, basically anything you'd ever ask for. The US is off the hook for your safety and comfort, forever. Perhaps this is already part of the process, not sure.

IMO, depending on where you are living abroad, that might give one misgivings about turning in ones passport.

Thank you jakejake. I have the feeling that people more and more want an already well executed MVP instead of a placeholder site explaining the idea and ask them to sign up.

What about feedback like:

"I'm personally getting sick of websites that have a button that says it'll do one thing, but instead I get redirected to give my information to someone I don't know or trust. No thanks."

The person felt offended because of being asked to enter information, information that was necessary to provide what the person was looking for, hence he pressed the button in the first place.

So, the person doesn't trust or know the business or service but the service needs that information to provide what the person is looking for.

A chicken-egg problem, it feels. Or a matter of communication it well?
> Microcode is not written to the CPU, it gets loaded on every boot. This can happen during the BIOS POST, during the OS bootloader or even while the OS is booting. Therefore, yes its possible to run older microcode (at least on Linux), since you just have to not write the newer version on boot. If the BIOS contains the new microcode, you can flash the previous version of the BIOS.

Did you read the last paragraph of my message? Because you're not really disputing anything I said. (to clarify, when I say "You cannot load old microcode anywhere", I define "old" to mean "older than the currently running microcode", I.E. you cannot downgrade it at runtime after it's gotten a new one loaded to RAM.

If you're willing to run outdated system firmware (with associated bugs, security vulnarbilities, etc), you can do it - just like I said in the message you're replying to. But that's not what I'd call a good solution.
> One would think you got your information on Cryonics from watching an old VHS of "The Re-Animator"

That's a bit insulting of you.

And to answer, no, I get my information from reading articles such as those linked, hence my comment on it.

I've seen enough of the groups pushing these kind of pieces to see them as no better than religious groups selling 'the afterlife' and associated goodies with zero chance of actually delivering on their promises. And just like those religious groups they always need a little bit more money.

It's quack science because none of it works. It will be science once someone can freeze a very small mammal (say a tiny rodent), keep it frozen for a while and then thaw that creature again and it will live a long and healthy life.

It will be science when someone scans a very small brain to a very high resolution, will build a functioning simulation of that brain in a computer to such an extent that the simulation exhibits all of the traits of the original.

Until then it's all just purposefully soft-balled problems that pretend to solve some crucial aspect of the whole chain without actually addressing the main problems head on, just enough 'progress' to keep the funding coming.

I make my living debunking bs and this stuff is - to me - a very high grade of it, all I see here is a cynical attempt at getting funding by for instance linking Alzheimer research to this group (which they have absolutely nothing to do with).

Feel free to have a different opinion.
This is called the continuum fallacy. Just because we cannot draw a strongly defined line it doesn't mean some things aren't definitely wrong.

I'm honestly more offended by the implications that bureuacracy is a poor value proposition.
