> how is this statement different than e.g. "the democratic party is the party of socialists and communists"?

Because socialists and communists does not actually carry the negative connotations you ascribe it, while creationists and climate deniers does.

One is a valid policy stance, while the other is just flat out rejection of reality.
Claws did me well on Mint. Lightweight. Worked well except with Gmail's tags. There was workaround but I just skipped it since web interface is fast on Gmail. Did you not know about Claws or have a specific reason for not mentioning it?

I gotta agree that the excitement is waning – I don't know why they're moving away from the JSON file back to csproj files. These files are more or less opaque. Sure you can read them, but does anybody actually ever hand-edit them?
I thought Apple are notorious for NIH, and looking down at interoperability in general. I surely didn't notice that the opposite is almost always true.
PGA Tournament Fires Trump and Gives His Business to the Mexicans
ps: After my first 'successful' LFS build. I find out I had strange network bugs, curl/wget wouldn't work, while elinks would but with console formatting bugs (offsets and reverse video). It was both frustrating and fascinating at the same time.
I'm in complete agreement. I know the business, I know the tech, and I know I'm absolute shit on hiring/managing. My cofounder isn't any better either.

Hiring someone to manage would probably be the most useful next step.
If you can give those users faster performance and lower data usage and opportunities to cash in on the value of their eyeballs, where/when they are willing, it doesn't seem like you even have to 'hate' them, you just have to prefer something with more positive features.

Honestly, I think Brave is good for everyone - including advertisers. There are interesting new patterns to develop here, I'd bet. With every change in tech comes new possibilities, Brave is opening the door to a lot of potentially new ideas/strategies here IMO.

> then browse down a list of products i've purchased before (both online and instore) and chose which ones I want to be delivered

That's cool. So they keep a history of everything you've purchased? Do they do that by credit card or do you log in some how when you purchase instore?
This could be huge if they can keep the prices near Walmart levels. This could be a way to get around the negative stigma of shopping at Walmart amongst the hipster / bourgeois / middle class. If they pull this off it will put real pressure on the other grocery providers. On the downside, grocery delivery services have been tried many times in the past 15 years.
Oh for goodness sake about slippery slopes and "being logical"

May this be the one time I use this phrase

Check your bloody privilege. The Southern Poverty Law Center? Seriously?

In the real world which you, and, I and every person here HAS to operate - slippery slopes will exist because there are many local optima we HAVE to work with.

Here is one YOU have to work with. Your last name is STUCCHIO! Last I checked it is ITALIAN, via SICILY!

Which means the image in this article is totally relevant to you

http://www.seidawriter.tk/white-girl-talks-about-race/

http://seidawriter.tk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Italian-300...

Or the fact the writer is of the same background as you, and brings up that one of the largest mass lynchings was of Sicilians, in New Orleans, 1891.

Or how about this notice from the 1930s, asking Italians, Germans, and Japanese to register:

https://graphicandmaybe.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/notice.j...

So the Germans and Italians were just white enough in the US to avoid Internment Camps in the US?

Do you want to go back to that era so badly with your last name?

Meanwhile, the SPLC took in about $3.75 million in donations in 2015 - most of which was not through grants and not through funds - those are labeled differently in their audited statement here https://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/splc-fs-10-31-... (the "wealthy" donors you talk of are almost always giving investments and many of those gifts have restrictions SPLC cannot go willy-nilly file lawsuits)

And do you want to know why they got the money?

https://mic.com/articles/145105/coincidence-detector-the-goo...

(and other people who are "anti-white"/not white enough)

So while you are now white enough to get any job you want, including mathematician, barber, miner, engineer, whathaveyou, and you have the luxury of having the first name of Christian, these people don't. And there are plenty of people here with first/last names that appear here, or variant spellings - and they may not even be Jewish.

https://gitlab.com/therightstuff/public/blob/30118b9db78fd87...

That's why people donate to them. People want to know they can walk around apply for a job, and speak freely, without worrying that their name, or the color of their skin, of who they love will cause them harm. Now what they said (which you complain about), Or if they are logically consistent enough.

Get over yourself and your need for everyone to be logically consistent 100% of the time. Unless you are ready to stand up and say you ant to go back to a world where it is ok for people to discriminate against you with no one who care out there on the basis of you being Italian.
Teamviewer Censors News Outlets Reporting on Breach and Stolen Funds
That sounds good, but, it's mainly retrograde sexist bunk. It also ignores the long history of women fighting for access to those professions and being actively denied.

Which you presumably know as well, which is why you created a new, anonymous account rather than owning your words.
Several similar products indeed. Since I was at none of the above it seems they have a track record now and people should know what to expect.
If speed of this "electric bike" will be limited to below 35km/h, it will be legally allowed to drive public roads as "moped". Otherwise, it is not allowed for public roads at all, until it will meet safety requirements for motorcycle.
I'm an old embedded dog and I struggle with this a lot recently.

I get that an RPi or Beaglebone or any large SoC architecture qualifies as an embedded system in the sense of "this board is running a drone/driverless car/CNC machine/etc".

But, at least to me, these are highly miniaturized desktop systems now. There's disk. There's advanced I/O (HDMI, LVDS, 802.11, Ethernet, SATA, PCIe!). There's a full operating system on there. You could put one inside a 1U case and pretend it's a server.

Not that this is a bad thing. SoCs are awesome and I personally have a half-dozen projects cooking with iMX6s and other cool parts in this domain. But I think we need to find a way, especially in the IoT era, to quantify a small device node architecture versus a Linux-desktop-on-a-board. I already see Microsoft abusing this by putting Win10 on an RPi and calling it an IoT architecture.
Which is kind of dumb. I'm guessing someone in Amazon ran the numbers and found that worker health, happiness, and heat exhaustion is still cheaper than air conditioning.
Please forgive me for generalizing, but from what stereotypes of Chinese culture that I've heard, I've been given the impression that the Chinese tend to be conservative with regards to outwardly expressing themselves. Given that this may be the case, is it not unsurprising that they would see a platform that is about visual expression and that focuses upon the creator of content, as being possibly too self-oriented?

If this is the case, such a perception may act as a barrier to their ability to perceive that it is a platform that can be used for the creation and strengthening of interpersonal bonds (social media).

Great way to put it so that a technologist can understand. A lot of my best friends came from passive serendipitous interactions on FB that built into the kind strong and familiar enough to turn into "synchronous" interactions.
UAC was not that big of a deal. I used Vista and it hardly bothered me. I suspect most of the whining came from people not used to the separation of user and administrative privileges.

Humans like to believe that we are on one side of a great divide between conscious and unconscious animals. But all there is is a gradient between us and the bacteria, with infinite stops in between.

The interesting twist in Enders Game (and other scifi) is that the alien invaders do not understand humans as conscious beings. I see no reason to believe that there aren't beings on earth, animals, who are farther up the spectrum than we.

Ahh, that's funny. It's the Blub Paradox [0] all over again! People generally seem to believe that they are special. That they live in a singularly special time in history. That their generation is on the cusp of some indefinable revolution. This bias seems to be extremely pervasive. Another pervasive example is the belief among evangelical Christians that Jesus will return to earth during our lifetime [1].

Congratulations on your promotion to Director of Engineering!

Now would be a good time to assess your manager's history and learn to delegate the things you may have been doing on your own to others like they did. Your manager should be able to help you do this.

If this is an established company then this can't be the first time they've been in this situation, so there's probably a misunderstanding somewhere.

If this is a new company then it could be that they are learning this process as well.

If you haven't actually been promoted or your manager can't or won't help you grow into your new position and work through these issues then something's wrong. Beware.
You should compare that 7/18 with what happened to other 18 in the same condition. 1 year after stroke, it is quite safe to say that 0/18 would have any improvement in 1 month (the patients were testes also 1 month after).
Depending on experience but $90-$140k salary and 10-20% profit sharing ($50k-$200k roughly) on projects which they contributed.

JSON Compression by Rotating Data 90°
As part of a compression suite, that may not matter all that much. I can think of a hybridized version of this that starts with this ANN and then applies 'fixes' by a traditional video codec stream. If the ANN can represent most of the bits of the frame pretty well, the ANN + Codec data can match a traditional codec-only approach with substantially less data.
Right, but my point is that your numbers don't indicate anything about the actual potential as a compression format. It is certainly possible to use it that way, but there is still much that is uncertain about whether a neural network can do better than hand-crafted compression formats. So it's a little early to call it "next generation." It is literally meaningless to point out that "his neural network compresses each image down to 200 floats", since it doesn't actually work well with such a small latent space.

It's not exactly unknown that autoencoders can reconstruct images, so I don't see why it's "impressive that it works at all."
But do give any indications that these are the real causes, or are they also just speculating as so many others do when it comes to explaining those phenomena? Did they study the causes at all? Or did they just note "50% drop out" and then jump to the conclusion that it must be because x?

Thanks for translating.
TeamViewer Launches Trusted Devices and Data Integrity
It was more than that. People were looking at old wall posts (which were always public) and they couldn't believe that they'd ever had those conversations in public. Hence jumping to the conclusion that their private messages had somehow been converted into public posts.

I think it's fascinating on two counts. Firstly that the accepted etiquette of how we use social media changed so quickly. And secondly that people's brains can simply reject something they did in the past, if it doesn't fit their current sense of self.

My first LFS was around 2001, which I think would be LFS v3.0. I can't begin to express how amazing the project was to my learning and development as a programmer.

When I started I was completely new to Linux and the command line. Everything I do today is rooted in the foundation that I learned by doing a close read of the book. The book requires no coding, just command-line, but soon after my first and second reads of the book I began to automate the build process that took me down the path of understanding how distros are put together.

I've only read the book end-to-end once or twice (I think that's all that is needed), but I've done hundreds of builds. Make no mistake: The book is difficult to get through. It requires trial and error as well as a close read of the book to understand why the build is done in the way that it is, which should be explained thoroughly, but if it isn't I'm sure the editors want to hear about the difficulty you are having. There are also bound to be problems bootstrapping from your <insert_favorite_distro>. That's always been a challenge and it's part of the build methodology that LFS uses to create a stable foundation to build a proper system (which relates to the efforts today regarding bit identical reproducible builds).

We have this in the UK for several large supermarkets (Walmart-owned ASDA for example), as well as regular home-delivery. I believe ASDA brand it as 'click and collect' - When you arrive at the store, you go to a touchscreen kiosk and enter some code and someone comes out with a pallet of your shopping so you can take it to your car.

For future reference this story made it to about 4th position, and then was moved to 320. I assume there is some manual switch moderators pull to do this.

This action is unfortunate because the article is peer reviewed and published in a top journal. Similar articles with the opposite conclusions regularly make it to the front page. So it looks like articles are being killed merely because they go against there preconceptions of some moderators.
Given that Alphabet has 686.56M outstanding shares at the moment, this research firm believes that Google's market cap will go from it's current $495B to $137B.
As someone that has played in the embedded world too, i struggled with that last year.

But let's be honest. Except if you have really strong constraint about power consumption and form factor, most of these small stuff are far easier to work with, perform probably better (because yes your software has bugs) and have so so so much better tooling.

Because the embedded world has a big tooling problem. I still hope to have some Rust on lower level to push it into the XXIst century.

And the nerves project is made by people that come from the embedded world. They completely know their limits and do not try to push it everywhere.
I number of years back, I was on crutches with a broken foot and tried out Peapod for grocery delivery. It was "OK" but they were often out of things and items like produce were definitely hit or miss. At the time it was useful because I could drive and make my way through the store on crutches but couldn't easily do a full grocery shopping. Once I was back on my feet I stopped using them because, if I was going to the store anyway, having some of my groceries delivered wasn't much of a win.

(I'm willing to believe that Instacart + Whole Foods, for example, is a better overall experience--for a premium. But it's not available where I live.)
I have many friends who swear by it, though it's only ever used for one, very niche use-case: Documenting only mildly interesting moments for friends to see.

There's no need to document unimportant things.
If you have a random thought that'd you like to blurt out to the world, there's Twitter.
If you want to remain social with people outside of real life contact, there's Facebook.
If you want to communicate with people, there are any number of messaging apps -- which, by the way, can send any form of media.
If there's something going on that is interesting enough to where you'd want to document it semi-permanently, there's any number of cameras and camera apps.
If you want to broadcast everything you're doing, there's Periscope and Facebook Live.

So the reason people -- particularly young people -- prefer Snapchat (outside the infamous sexting) is because they can essentially broadcast mildly noteworthy moments of their lives to their friends without worrying about all those pictures and movies hanging around, taking up space, or possibly coming back to embarrass them.

But as for me? My toddler just loves playing with the animated filters. That is literally the only reason I have it.

The problem is that your competition isn't Flash Drives at probably $5/per in bulk. It's Blu-Ray disks that cost $0.005/per in bulk. Plus you need to build up a factory to make massive ROMs, since most people doing this are targeting sizes in the handful of KB. You can't even take advantage of competition in the marketplace because your product will be so specialized. Not like the disk pressing houses that are all over China.
Yeah, I'm not using iTunes though. There is really no reason whatsoever not to provide lossless in digital form, especially since CDs did that for a long time in physical medium. Bandcamp always provides FLAC. That's where I buy music mostly.
Working with data in web frameworks
Yep. Exactly the issue. I want people with similar traits as myself and all I find are people who just want a job with a steady paycheck.
It's an obvious move to make migration easier for devs. I certainly don't want JSON project files, I just want to be able to take my existing .NET projects as is and build them on Core. The only place I ever want to see JSON is as a response to some client side JavaScript call, that is its only valid use imho, everywhere else it's not as good as the alternatives.
I heard recently of the book "Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident" by Donnie Eichar ... which apparently goes into the whole thing via access to records, photos, interviews, the hiker's journals, and so forth.

In any case better, thanks to value types support and layout control.

It's not formally binding. But the executive is a single entity under the President. Constitutionally, the FBI doesn't have any independence. The OLC is like the executive's in-house legal counsel. One part of the executive ignoring its opinions is like having a division in your company ignoring your legal department's opinions and coming to its own conclusions. It represents a failure of leadership at the top.
I like the demo video, but if it is tied to the play store (can't even download it direct from you) or I have to login to an unknown server such as jumpdesktop, never gonna happen my fiend.
I like that he mentioned VRML. Most people have forgotten about that tech which was supposed to be the next, big thing. I remember doing chat rooms made in it (similar to There game) and creating a few sites for emerging "VWWW." Fun stuff. Can't find original now.

I pretty much use Facebook to follow local companies I'm interested in (as it is currently useless for personal interests at this time). I doubt I'm alone in using Facebook in this manner. I've sometimes wondered if ultimately Facebook could monetize off of that.

(Even on this angle, the problem right now is that Facebook's ad algorithm is a bit, er, dumb. At least, it hasn't figured out that I'm far more interested in local business X, Y, and Z that I'm following and not whatever unrelated spam some megagiantcorp is pushing...)
There's also this, from two years back, which defies explanation - mysterious lights on/in the Pacific ocean. http://www.pbase.com/flying_dutchman/pacific_eruption

I've seen my share of "weird shit in the sky". I've seen a bolide in broad daylight, which was literally a "holy shit drop to your knees in awe" moment, but I've also on a few occasions seen patterns of lights moving in impossible fashions - high speed motion, instantaneous vector changes, followed by insane acceleration and disappearance. They're usually orange. An explanation I've heard for this sort of thing is car headlamps reflecting in a temperature inversion - but the last I saw these was while camping in the taklamakan, a long way from anything or anyone else.

I'm a physics graduate, an amateur astrophotgrapher, a pilot with an expired license, and I can identify aircraft, satellites, and so-forth - but some stuff I can't explain.

I also saw bona fide ball lightning and St elmo's fire a few years back driving across the Russian steppe, between astrakhan and volgograd - huge electrical storm, but as we were heading towards it, we kept seeing little sparks of bright white light zooming up from the road into the clouds, and as we were coming into the storm, we noticed the barbed wire fences along the road glowing with purplish plasma. Cows in the field were sporting furry plasma pompons on the tips of their horns. Absolutely nuts.

Anyway. I reserve all judgment on the question of LGM, but it'd be foolhardy to say all unexplained phenomena simply don't exist.

I'm a new Arduino hobbyist and I struggle with it too. Raspberry Pis are definitely not embedded, they're a full-blown computer that's small. It's amazing how they managed to fit an entire desktop in a Pi-Zero-sized package, but it's not embedded.
