I can't imagine (maybe you can and you can comment here) that a species that can make a spaceship and cross the universe can do so without a language that we could understand.

Just to mine minerals and manufacture metal, computers, fuel, etc etc would mean co-operation on a massive scale -- millions of individuals.

Nan-bots sure, they would be talking alien wifi and machine code. Giant creatures (AIs?) that live slower than us and manufacture each component themselves without the need of help.... like spaceflight from first principles.

ROS is the state of the art in open robot control and you get the drivers for that out of the box (mostly because it seems they deliberately chose hardware which is super well supported by it already).

Out of the box this thing is going to be able to map rooms and do navigation (stock ROS features).

You can find some cool videos of this stuff on YouTube; they don't really need to release any new software.

I know a bunch of people who are into ROS and this is basically the hardware they've all converged on, except they slapped a laptop on the pedestal.

Not really sure about the deep learning bit though; I guess that's the part you have to add... to be fair, it's basically a bit of marketing. This is not a game changer by any means but it's nice hardware.

Looking forward to being able to add a cheap lidar like sweep to these daleks.

I find it ironic that people keep citing sites as the "Vox" and the popular in this place "Vice" as some kind of reliable sources when the former have repeatedly promoted in the recent past blatantly racist theories such as the "Whiteness"

Excellent rapid response, second only to capacitors. But pretty poor densities, and hugely significant engineering challenges.

Flywheels that don't become fly-apart wheels is one problem.

Containment of fly-apart wheels another. Buried concrete pipes are usually what you're looking at. You need mass to contain these things.

The per-kg energy densities just aren't all that high. If you want reactive load to soak up very short-term demand / supply fluctuations, you can get that. And you've got crazy charge-discharge cycles.

Bearings are mostly solvable with magnets, as I understand. But you still lose a given percentage of storage over short time -- ~1% per hour or so, within a few powers of 2. Enough that long-term storage isn't viable.

And the thing that really screws you over is that the Earth moves. Geometric precession of your flywheel is something you've got to deal with.

There's a place, but I don't think it's large-scale, long-term grid storage.
I developed a game solely as a Telegram bot: https://storebot.me/bot/mrw_bot

I think that this is a better platform than mobile as it supports multiple devices, user accounts are already setup, it's easy to test and it has built in notifications.

One thing I did have an issue with, is showcasing what it's features were. One option is to create a lot of videos and screenshots which would take a lot of time. As further improvements were made, I would have to reshoot the videos.

Instead, I created a React component to simulate interactions with a bot. The React component is here: http://sevenleaps.github.io/chat-template/

The website for the bot is: http://www.mrwgame.com/
That's not particularly fair. The vitriol is palpable and unjustified. He's just thinking out loud. Yes, there is ego and yes, there is entitlement, but in the end we all face similar problems.

But did it? If his writing made you think, made you upset, made you question anything, it was 'interesting' in the HN sense and, to my mind, at least, stands alone as a clever piece of literature. Art, essentially.

So you are saying that when Google or any other MegaCorp would know your MBTI type, they would know nothing about your personality? Or in other words, that MBTI type has zero correlation to personality traits? Sorry, but that does not make sense.

Another way to look at it is the following. I'm not a machine learning expert but I suppose MBTI is simply a way to cluster maximum correlation vectors into a compact representation. This representation happens to contain 4 bits of information (since there are 16 MBTI types).
>> which of those two resulting races (humans with walking sticks vs monkeys with bicycles dimensioned appropriately to the monkeys)

> Under UCI rules, cyclist aren't allowed to use aeroshells, and recumbent bicycles are also prohibited, even though both are much more "similar" to a bicycle than your proposed monkey with a walking stick.

> If you want to run a race which allows a monkey with a walking stick to compete, feel free!

Consider reading my comment before you respond to it. If you want to argue that bicycles are more similar to bicycles than they are to walking sticks... that was most of the point of my comment, too.
> Saying that MB is "not scientific" is laughable. It is a measure.

One problem is that the thing being measured can decide how it wants to be measured. It's easy for me to select a type from MBTI.

The claim "you have one of 16 personality types" is not falsifiable. Why does it have to be one of those types?

The things that MBTI purports to measure - E/I, S/N, F/T, J/P are just based on Carl Jung's made up theories about how the mind works.

The questions on the MBTI are supposed to correlate precisely to Jung's scales, but what if they don't? Language is awfully malleable. Do I prefer abstract or concrete? Give me a break. (Yes, I get it, abstract is N, concrete is S.) Would I rather stay home and read a book or go to the party? Can I have a book reading party at home? Can I bring a book to the party? Can I read a book about a party? What if I don't like books or parties?

The whole concept of dualism is pure philosophy.

I think you're entitled to derive some monetary benefit from your writing. However I support the decision to make the book creative commons. Perhaps offer paid versions in some form (audio, epub etc.) or use it as a platform to build your list (which I see you're keen on doing) and seek out speaking opportunities.

Oh, and it probably isn't shitty, based on the strength of this article. I'm assuming there will be some light-cringing involved if engineers read it, but I may be wrong, and I'm sure there's a huge audience for this out there. I know self-help stuff gets a bad rep. Completely understandable most of the time. But there's probably a reason it's so popular - i.e. the good stuff is good!
Probably. And I am sure that airlines CFOs are keeping that in mind.
Does it come pre-installed? I thought it came only with XCode Command-Line Tools. Which personally I don't have (anything I use is from Homebrew).

If it is there without XCLT, then anyone reading this is more than capable of removing it, and dealing with anything that subsequently can't find it.
> Now that I have a 32-bit floating point representation to compare to, I can go one step further: Since mincostaddcostj is always greater than or equal to 0, and because non-negative floats are monotonically ascending when the bits are interpreted as an integer, I can use an integer comparison to do the check!

Good points. It exactly sounds like that we can benefit from specialized "non-negative" or "non-NaN" types, either implemented in the library (with a limited operator overloading) or in the compiler level (via static range analyses).

1. The lack of pilot problem affects only regional carriers but not national airlines level yet.

2. Regional carriers can't afford to increase pilot salaries because national airlines are stingy.

This problem will begin to resolve, when the lack of pilot issue works up into the national airlines level. Eventually national airlines will be out of pilots, and they will be forced to either raise pilot salaries or institute training programs, or provide more favourable deals to regional airlines.

The problem initially started by passing of the bill in 2009 increasing the number of hours First Officers require by 5 times.

Since it takes a decade or more to train a pilot to that level, it may take a decade or more for the issue to percolate into the national airlines level.

By 2019, national airlines will be feeling the pinch in pilots and be forced to act. As they ramp up salaries, or provide more favourable deals to regional carriers, or implement trainee programs that train new recruits from from the ground up, or fully subsidising they training, the number of pilots entering flight schools will increase, or automating pilots away entirely.

By 2029, due to the previous ten years of work national airlines had done to attract pilots, or reduce dependency on them using automation, the issue of a lack of pilots will be resolved.

They get team bikes. They aren't picky.

Long gone are the days of a pro rider turning up on a relabelled bike of their choice (their bike, their sponsors' logos).

The bikes tend to be distinct enough that they are definitely riding the frame of their team sponsor, and the wheels have become similarly distinctive too (no more Lightweights disguised as Mavic).
I'm guessing the intent of the title was to mean "A privacy watchdog should be an independent, possibly public entity, so it's surprising and problematic that a large US corporation has this level of influence over decisions on privacy in Europe".

However, without reading the article content, it very much comes across as "Google is doing such surprisingly benign work that it fills the role of privacy watchdog for Europe".
What would it make it interesting? I'd hook up a breakpoint to the check for 0 HP and just add HP.
This article is weird. Google never asked to be regulating this, puts in place a small team to handle the load and then the journalist wonders why they don't want to answer questions about methodology: because it can only backfire. Ideally for Google they wouldn't have to deal with this anymore, that's why they are publishing reports like this the big totals:

The response of the Chinese company Trina spokesperson is quite off the mark. First Solar expects to ship around 3GW of modules in 2016 so that is not exactly lab scale ;) FSLR expects to improve their shipped modules efficiency by more than 10% over last year. 15.4 to 17.

FSLR also will also introduce their new larger modules that are easier to install. Reducing the cost of building a power plant.

I really regret not investing in FSLR stock when I could have :(

Off course when looking at energy supplies the physical efficiency is not important, one must look at the economic efficiency. Numbers that are hard to find :(

I don't think we are ever going to get them, frankly. Or at least not passenger planes. Machines do break down, no matter how many redundant systems you put in. You want to always have someone on board who can help, even if the plane flies by itself 100% of the time during normal operation. Unless of course, that's what you meant. I mean that planes will always have to have someone familiar with flying on board, even if that person is not doing anything most of the time.

It doesn't. The subsidies are used as a bootstrapping mechanism, the projections in the article indicate that as the market scales, costs of solar energy production will drop below coal.
Brit here. I'd wager that the government are resisting full disclosure because it would implicate too many public figures. Cameron was the most public, recent example -- but there are probably many more.

Those processes are weird compared to normal processes. The main place the user mode information about a process is tracked in a normal windows process is through the Process Environment Block (PEB). You get the list of modules and commandline and tons of other information by reading the PEB of a process.

The processes in the Linux subsystem does not interact with the usual usermode parts of Windows at all, so they don't need a PEB. Actually their PEB is mapped to address 0 which is reserved.

A lot of APIs for getting information about processes will try to read the PEB, and fail if they can't read that. So if you want useful information about those processes you can only use those APIs that queries the kernel about its information about the process.

The Task Manager probably just assumes that it can get all the information normally, and ignores the process if something fails. Maybe it's even the API it uses that's the issue, someone could check whether the ToolHelp32 API even returns those processes (I don't know whether the Task Manager uses the ToolHelp32 API or the lower level PSAPI).
No, you missed the point. They don't want Chrome, and if their aversion could be solved with small tweaks to the branding they'd have probably just gotten over it.

> that are actually based mostly or entirely on statistics? You certainly get folks who throw out a number or two are part of their talking points, but rarely do you get entire articles for these sorts of positions that revolve wholesale around some purported stat.

The current right wing UK government is at present busy churning out statistics to "prove" why it's best for the UK to remain in the EU, for example.

E.g most recently they've trotted out claim of worse GDP development outside the EU.

The pro exit crowd in their own party is using exactly the same tactics in favour of their views.

Both sides have focused strongly on numbers related to how it will affect the UK economy and immigration as those two areas seems to of greatest concern to the Conservatives.

When it comes to education too, the right wing here is extremely preoccupied with numbers.

Given your proposed list of "right wing positions", it may be that what you're seeing is arguments for predominantly religious positions that are basically too extreme for most European right-wing partes that'd be my frame of reference.

Pro life, anti marriage equality, trickle down economics, abstinence-only education are all policies that are extreme fringe positions even on the right wing in most European countries (with the odd exception - e.g. stronger support for anti-abortion bills in the catholic countries, though that's crumbling even in places like Ireland), and of those only "trickle-down economics" is not tied to religion here. And trickle-down economics certainly does not survive any kind of focus on numbers, so the few people here who believe in that certainly won't drag out numbers.

War on drugs is the only policy on your list there's fairly universal support for on the European right.

Instead what we tends to see are arguments over the economy, taxes and costs of immigration, where in fact the right very often will be trotting out numbers.

During the last couple of months I started to be obssessed with the chatbot scene, it’s exciting to see a lot of experimentation in this area, so I decided to get my hands dirty and mix it with one of my passions: sneakers. I created a “minimum viable (sneakerhead) bot” for Telegram that shares the day’s best news about sneakers. The bot's behaviour is super simple, I plan to improve it and test the bot in other platforms: Kik, Facebook Messenger, Slack.

I would love to have your feedback and suggestions.
Well technology helped to eliminate the flight engineer role on modern planes. Technology could eliminate the need for a co-pilot, but the problem here is the lack of trust of having a single human in the loop. Plus the additional issues that others have mentioned e.g. pilot suicide, etc.

I have been a beta user of this product. Initially I didn't realise the power of this platform. The moment I saw my form 16 going into a separate folder, I started realising the potential of this platform. More than the search, I found the categorisation useful. It helped me to find documents, which I thought was long gone.

If Sajeev can crack the categorisation better and bring in accuracy, there will be a day people will say "Life before and after Vaultedge".

Good luck.
IMO it makes quite a bit of sense to exclude a few areas from enforced free trade. Otherwise we could as well argue that countries must allow a free market for acquiring military services. The thing is, it's silly to only do this for agriculture. There's a few areas that are vital for a nation to have some sense of independence, and allowing the protection of energy infrastructure is certainly one of them.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd prefer a world without the need for nation states and borders - but as long as we do have them IMO some of these international organisations are overstepping, and WTO is near the top of that list.
