Manual face tagging is there now, and it definitely looks like they're trying to bring as many (relevant to web) Picasa features as possible to Google Photos.

Google Photos is 'partially' superior because of its super-search, which was not there in Picasa. People, place, things or time (and their combinations), it can search them all without any manual tagging required. Picasa Desktop or web couldn't search photos of "Alice and Bob riding hiking/riding a boat" by just typing that in. Sure, they could have built that feature to the desktop app as well, that would have been the best.

Supposing you referred to my comment on the big alien theory, as a biologist, I would say that this pure statistical analysis ignores the possible existence of yet unknown factors that could modulate the probability of existence of alien civilization of different size, planet size or intelligence.

This is why I concluded that this work is based on a pure speculation that these unknown factors don't exist. I didn't say this work is false or bad. I said it won't move us reliably forward on this research topic.

The "best cipher" is the single one you would have used if you had not decided to use a cipher cascade.

The idea is to make sure that your cascade is never worse than that single cipher.

Something to ponder.

Engineer hiring at the big silicon valley firms usually consists of 3 intense rounds of technical interviews by peers and a huge amount of background checks and screening.

Management hiring at the big silicon valley involves wining and dining with millions on the table and it has seen some spectacular examples of hiring MBAs with absolutely no past CEO experience - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#Hiring

MBA degrees are by far the most common masters degree, 126,214 new MBAs graduating each year. Link - http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2013/01/there-ar...

Meanwhile the number of new engineering graduates across all disciplines per year is 126,194. Link - http://www.computerworld.com/article/2508899/it-careers/obam...

This is leading to a cycle. Small startups run by the hard to hire engineers smash the competition. They then get established and stagnate, they stop hiring new engineers because it's too expensive (whilst hiring the more common MBAs for millions) and they stagnate because of this.

Google came out of nowhere in the 90's as an innovative company of engineers. They became huge. They're now going into MBA focused stagnation mode just like HP, Yahoo, IBM and about a hundred other examples.

Could we do a bacteria that reproduces with part of genome changed in predictable way - like

... 100 ... ---> ... 110 ... -> ... 111 ...
\ \-> ... 101 ...
\
-> ... 010 ... -> ... 011 ...
\-> ... 001 ...

And then checks that number in some way and signalizes somehow when it arrived at solution ? For example by releasing a toxine that kill others and reproducing without changes from that point on.

If we could, we could beat exponential-time problems in linear time as long as there's enough space and growth medium :)
> Applications that upload through the OneDrive API (I use rclone and Arq) often fail with API errors.

Speaking of rclone, I'm surprised how much Amazon Cloud Drive's API has improved. It's still not viable for sync, but I'm using it as a secondary backup for files I won't access very often. For some purposes, it's an even better steal at $60 a year.

I think the impact on the sales would depend on the type of game. Like he explains in the blog -
"it can especially benefit those who make competitive or sandbox games. However, for a short, relatively linear experience like ours, for millions of viewers, Let’s Play recordings of our content satisfy their interest and they never go on to interact with the game in the personal way that we intended for it to be experienced. "
Currently I haven't licensed the backend as free software; the primary reason for this is that I reuse quite a lot of components from a different project of mine (https://gemin.ee) and I haven't decided yet on whether I want to release those components or remove them as dependencies. Since I too am familiar with useful stuff suddenly disappearing I'll give you my word that I will release the source if I have to shut down. If I decide to share the source I'll post a link to it on the site itself, so you won't have to look for it ;).

On another note, I'd encourage you to write a streaming download service. Compared to file uploading - storing - downloading I found it fun to do but also quite non-trivial to accomplish. I am planning to have another go at it myself, but with a different language (Go, Pony or Elixir). When run alongside of each other with the same UI/frontend/api it would make a nice benchmarking mechanism :).

This is great news. The car industry could really benefit from completely fresh competitors beyond Tesla. And whatever some people say, Dyson did pioneer the bagless vacuum cleaners, and their technology works. It would be cool if they could come up with some completely new how a "car" is made/designed.

Beyond the environmental benefits, electric cars allow companies to completely rethink car design as all the constraints from combustion engines are removed. I am excited to see what the next 5-10 years will bring. Thats also why I would like to see Apple make a car, just to see with what new ideas or designs they might come up.
The UK actually does great at making cars - so long as they're either small volume boutique supercars, racecars or the factory is managed by foreigners (such as Nissan).

The big factories were sunk by their appalling labour relations, for which management must take some blame.

Indeed. Past performance is a terrible indicator for future performance, especially for fund managers. A Morningstar study found that there is no correlation between historical performance and future performance, i.e. the top 25% of funds in one year was spread evenly across the spectrum in future years.

This was after adjusting for survivorship bias.

So, you cannot look at performance as an indicator.

Yeah, I went off on a tangent. The stuff ordinary guys do is very easily systematised by a machine. Problem is the "system" often doesn't do that well (looking at long period numbers, so you get long periods of non performance), so you're back to "trust me, I've done this" and then the guy with the nice marketing docs wins again. Or we'll see. It's a common idea that you might as well follow the market in some way, so maybe cheap will win this time.
Having family with catheters they would have loved this / love this.

It's really hard to change those bags without spillage. This cuts that out.

You have to adjust the kind of clothing you wear so that you can have space for the catheter bag. This would cut that out.

The location of catheter bags means that people with certain kind of mobility problems can't change them themselves - this would cut that out. This one directly affects a friend of mine right now. Four times a day that have to be around somebody who is willing to change a catheter bag with them. They cannot get up at night without somebody to disconnect/reconnect the night bag.

The whole issue of not knowing how full the bladder is - this would cut that out.

Also after reading the article it strikes me that ES6 and ES7 features are going to create a huge gap in developer knowledge between those who fully understand ES7/8 and those who only understand ES5. Will we one day hear "oh beginners should start by learning ES5 and then do ES7?". Doesn't that sound a lot like c++?? Do we want that for javascript?

"Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the "owner" of a copy of a computer program"

If you do not have a licensed permission from the author, you now have to prove that you are the legal owner of the copy. It could be said that they intended to address people who pirated a copy from a torrent site (or a BBS, since this is before the time of torrents), but its a major claim that someone can own a copyrighted work without, 1) purchasing it, 2) having a copyright license to it.

When it comes to GPL in particular, the question is also if the recipient is a owner or a licensee. The license text specifically call "you" to be equivalent with "licensee", which makes the claim of ownership even more dubious.

As a result, USA is not Greece. USA isn't bailing out, USA doesn't have to beg money to Germany or court Putin's protection. Greece has a massive fraud problem, half of the houses aren't finished because of tax schemes, everyone pays everything cash, they have high taxes but their tax money gets laundered into subgroups of people without the projects being built or achieved.

If Greece went to a full-debit-card economy, they would be able to trace who doesn't pay their taxes (hint: everyone and their smugglers) and probably step into the developed world.

But yes, it would be bad for privacy, i.e. it gives the govt power to levy a mandatory tax, for example to increase the wage of the prime minister.

All you have to do to make tons of money is buy UPRO (s&p 500 leveraged 3x) and sell it when the economy is at high risk of recession. If you chart it out historically since 60 years back it would make a fortune.
you can get very high stats (good shapre , low draw-downs, lots of of winning months) just by going 'long' short-duration bonds and or selling far out of money index options. The problem is you may not make much money. You can sell a S&P 500 1000 put but you'll only make $500 over 6-12 months with $100k at risk. However, this is path dependent, meaning that large losses may be sustained on paper until the storm subsides. Even long 3-month t bills gives an infinitely high sharpe but the returns are crap
