Yeah, with rentals they really became affordable for people that are doing occasional trips to far-away places. Pure emergency use is better covered with a personal locator beacon, but as soon as you want to convey some information other than "SOS" you probably want one.
I'm not seeing that. Certainly I'd expect their basic phone to come with a mic. I want a way to physically disconnect an existing mic, not to connect a new one. Am I off here (probably ..)?

Asking the HN moderators using the |contact| link is probably the best way to get technical details.
Suppose you want a computer vision model to start recognizing a particular object (and its subtle variations) in photos, but it has never seen this object before. How many of these objects must the model be trained on before it can generalize and recognize the object again? Now show a child some bizarre object just once, and see if it can find the object in any photos, even if the object is at different angles or subtly varied. The child will certainly do better, off just one training example.
It's funny that you think you're buying civilization with your taxes when the vasty majority of the money you give the government is used to actively destroy civilization. Bombs aren't cheap.
When an app installs it has zero permissions. When the app needs privileged access like microphone access a system notification pops up saying "To record a voice message allow AppX microphone access". You can choose to grant the permission or ignore it.
As someone who did this for some time. Get out.

I, like you probably, think that it's not "too bad", but once you're away from this practice, you'll realize that you were wasting so much valuable time.
However relevant this possibly is a court case it is less relevant when you are about to pick between a nexus, an iPhone and a Samsung S-series.

Also while IANAL, note that in a number of jurisdictions EULAs like the ones you seem to think about might not be valid. Norwegians consumer authorities recently mocked them and I applaud them for it.
Could they be ESL?
AlphaGo is not conscious.

DeepBlue was not conscious.

If we wait some time (the mythical 20 years) we will probably build a machine that is so complex that can simulate consciousness so good that it will be undistinguishable from human consciousness.

By the way, how are you sure that humans are truly consciousness and it's not only a simulation of consciousness made by the neurons?

yet still much more capable in most cases. Handwriting recognition, for example. How many examples must a NN see to start accurately arriving at valid outputs for new handwritten cases? Now, how many examples must a human see to learn a particular letter before she starts recognizing it with 100% accuracy?
The problem with free UNIX clones is that everyone does its own thing, as such you don't have a nice SDK that the community at large can enjoy and effort get scattered all over the place.

Picking Gnome as example, not only do you have what you have mentions, but you also have Anjuta and Builder.

Although Ubuntu now kind of has an SDK based on top of Qt/C++.

However none of them close to the developer experience that Delphi and C++ Builder used to have. Or nowadays the .NET and UWP stack have.
It seems to have become even more cumbersome and confusing in the recent times. FB does not indicate that there may be message requests or filtered messages (even from "friends") waiting to be examined. It seems pointless when you see a message very late and wonder how it could even be missed. FB's message system cannot be trusted with the lack of notifications about these.
>> Exactly how advanced was NeXTstep in its time, compared to say Windows 95?

Keep in mind that the NeXT computers came out in 1988 and 1990, 7 to 5 years ahead of Win95. They were powered by Motorola 68030/40 CPU's, which were competitors to the Intel 80386/486, and they included 8-32MB of RAM. When Win95 came out a lot of machines only had 4MB still. They also had a 'megapixel' display with 1120 × 832 resolution. Most PC's were shipping with 640x480 VGA graphics at the time.

Price-wise, a NeXT machine had a base price of $4,995 and you could get a Win95 capable PC for $995. But this of course was years later.
CRIME allows for the recovery of certain parts of the cipher text, by sending many requests. I don't see an easy way to use it to apply it to xmpp (or imap).

In https, it is possible to enumerate certain headers, or other predictable data - session cookies in particular. How would you leverage the use of compression to attack xmpp?
I want a DPDT switch that sits between the mic and the rest of the phone. That seems do-able to me.

I use masking tape over the camera, so I'm looking for a similar microphone solution.

(I don't want it inside the case, since I want to be able to flip the switch conveniently. Likewise, removing the battery is not what I want.)

As tptacek says, Jefferson Park is the bang for your buck winner in Chicago. My sister in law just bought for under 200 with a yard, and a decent 2 floor home. House next door was listed for 150 (incredibly small though), and these aren't garbage homes in a bad neighborhood over there.

I'd buy there too if I wasn't planning on leaving this city in the next year or so. Housing prices are not what make me want to leave here, the climate and congestion are.

There is also Redhat's Openshift Origin, the Open-source, host-it-yourself version of their Openshift platform.

They've done a great job of documentation and on-boarding new people to try it out.

They have a nice set of ansible scripts or docker images which will get you up and running pretty quickly[1].

I currently run a lot of stuff in Azure, and there is a great deployment template to get your orgin cluster up and running here [2]

Underneath the hood it is just docker, kubernetes, and some other goodness. Color me super impressed with this.

"but this a CPU for (essentially) pedagogy purposes"

No doubt. Many people might try to build on it for other reasons. Hence, my warning.

"A b5000-esque cpu would be much less straight forward"

Try crash-safe.org's main presentation on SAFE architecture. Narrow your focus to that one section on atomic groups. Mentally combine that with Burrough's most primitive checks. I'm talking code vs data check, pointer bounds check, pointer write-check to prevent modification, optionally stack overflow, and so on. Each one is a few lines of C code if you draw it out. I don't design HW but I've read enough of these to know there's close to zero performance and gate overhead in such simple checks. They typically run in parallel with CPU pipeline where it goes ahead with execution but doesn't actually write results unless gets a "1" (check succeeds) from parallel checkers. Simple, simple.

Academics with almost no team or budget typically start with highly-configurable, Leon3 CPU. They add the tags or checks into a few components. Synthesize for FPGA. Done. Then, compiler and/or OS modifications to make use of it. I've seen it done for RTEMS and Linux with small teams and mods. Cambridge's CHERI, with larger team, did whole capability-architecture that's C compatible and runs FreeBSD port. Changes that big have quite the performance implications, though, which is why I focus on primitive checks for interim or hobbyist use. ;)
DNS challenge is the worst of both: You have to manually add 60 something DNS entries, and remove them again.

Just putting a public key in the DNS and being able to sign a CSR with the correspoding private key should be enough.
But the theory of the machines is entirely deterministic. Any non-deterministic behavior of a machine would be considered an error under any approaches being discussed here.

The point is that the universe can do things that functions cannot. If your only tool is functions (only thing that algorithms can compute), then you will necessarily be unable to handle all possibilities (by which point, I question your intelligence).
And all the scams revolve around pitching something that they aren't. Which is to say they require misleading "advertising" (or more generally - marketing).

The Ara is a modular smartphone system. Since there's a clear benefit to being able to remove the audio/video/wireless modules, I would hope that they are fully replaceable and separate from the screen and CPU modules.

The pragmatic programmer book has a great quote about exceptions. Something about how once an exception is caught your stack starts to unwind and a new program is now running on your system. Can't find it right now.

The worse production bugs I have seen involve complicated exception handlers that generated a second exception while trying to write to the filesystem or something.
In that case some other exception handler now starts to execute further up the stack. It really is as if a new program is now compiled and installed on your production servers. A new program that has read/write access to the production db. A program that most likely was never executed in QA and has never been seen by any person.

It is a bit hyperbolic but I have never seen an exception handler over four lines long that did not contain a bug.

My attitude towards exceptions is like a fire alarm. If I hear a fire alarm it means one thing and I have one action to take. Any notion of providing different pitched fire alarms to encode information would be absurd and dangerous, that is how I view exception hierarchies.

It is my understands that the Go language from google decided not to include this language feature.

I have heard that Java's checked exceptions are now seen as an important, failed experiment.
I wouldn't go quite that far. I wouldn't be doing nearly as well as I am without my friends online, who live everywhere from the next city over to another continent. They're a huge part of my life and I'd feel empty without them. However, I do need physical contact with people at least a couple of times a week - mostly in the form of touch, personally. I couldn't cope with being around people offline as much as I can with those same people online, though.
I was tempted to just plug in 52 into Stirling's formula n!~~((n/e)^n)sqrt(2pi*n) but the result isn't as 'nice'.

What makes 54 special and how would you know to try it instead?

What makes a number computationally 'nice' for humans? Is it just less computation steps under relaxed precision?

Is there a collection of heuristics for approximation?(This might be just Numerical Analysis)
Or better yet, ome sort of approximate calculator software that gives error bounds?

The great thing about exceptions is that they allow you to put arbitrary distance between the point of detection and the point of handling.

I'm confused by your comment. Who are you calling an asshole?
First, yes, actually I can and I did.

Second, you don't know what a straw man argument is. And should educate yourself before opening your mouth and looking 'ignit.

Allow me to give you an example of a straw man argument.

Example: After Will said that we should put more money into health and education, Warren responded by saying that he was surprised that Will hates our country so much that he wants to leave it defenseless by cutting military spending.

That sir is a straw man. Which has nothing to do with what I said.

Good day.

But they are not human readable. They are only readable by humans because can be converted to text with a text reader. For a protocol to be good, it needs decent debug tools.

Yes I am advocating a binary protocol. If you want to have decent battery life, then you need to be efficient. This is the tradeoff you need to make. for something like text, I really don't understand peoples fear of binary protocols.

As an aside clients have memory nowadays, there is no reason to send the full ID for the sender in each message (unless of course you are doing encyption, but even then, once you've exchanged keys its moot) a client needs to keep track of buddies that are online, so this data can be cached, and a local ID used instead.

In conversations about webdesign, I usually always mention HackerNews and Stallman's political blog:
http://stallman.org/archives/polnotes.html

Minimalist, all the content is linkable, and they both work even on Links or Opera Mini. I'd prefer this over some fancy layout that don't degrade gracefully, e.g. requiring JS to display static content. It's not everyone who have fast internet and fast laptops.
People who design stack processors like to say they're Forth or Java machines. IMO it's more buzz-word than anything else.

I think we know now that tailoring a processor to a particular language isn't particularly efficient (though the opposite i.e. assembly is).

I understood the website the same way you did: the merchant must use the same exchange as the customer. I hope we're wrong.

For the sake of anonymity though, it appears to me that using a new exchange would be easy as you would not require to log in with an email and a password, but rather with a kind of web-browser extension or something similar. Each merchant could then become its own exchange, and you would only see a few big exchanges whose role would just be to make everything simpler for the merchant, and that simplicity would come at the price of an increased fee. This is a bit like what PayPal or Stripe are doing today.

With a Nexus you're trusting Google with a lot more info than Samsung could hope to obtain. So if this isn't about legality then I'm not sure what it is. Presumably Samsung aren't storing your email credentials so they can launch a spam campaign, and you've not provided anything like enough information to deduce that they're doing anything other than, perhaps, keeping the email moving.

I never read EULAs and I can imagine they're not valid everywhere, but they're useful as a measure of the intent of the company producing them. I imagine Samsung, for example, reserves the right to use any information you provide to ensure a certain quality of service. I'm sure Google have run their EULAs - valid or not - past similar lawyers.

TREE(3) is significantly larger, though the explanations as far as I've found them require understanding much more complicated maths than for Graham's number (at least, I can follow the explanation for Graham's number, but not TREE(3)).

The fun bit about TREE(3) is that the sequence TREE(1), TREE(2), TREE(3) goes :

TREE(1): 1

TREE(2): 3

TREE(3): explosion

n(4) is another fun one. n(3) is less than Graham's number, which itself is roughly A^64(4). n(4) is about A^A^(187196)(1)

It's nice because 2.7 is close to e, and 2.7 is a nice factor of 54, which is close to 52.

It's worth starting from the fact that e^3 ~ 20 and see if you can make that work. I'd suggest calculating 50! using e^3 ~ 20 (somehow!) - that's the next version I'll be doing. It's an interesting exercise.
I'm fine with espousing it.

I don't think the consequences you're worried about are likely. People expressed similar worries when we introduced "avoid gratuitous negativity", which didn't happen; there's marginally less gratuitous negativity (at least I think so) and that's about it.
> With matching tax structures there is really no difference between paying an universal basic income to everyone or only paying it towards the lower income range.

If there is literally no difference then what benefit is to be gained from the added complexity?

One of the big advantages of a universal basic income is that it gives you effective progressive taxation without a complicated system amoral people can game. If you have different tax rates then it creates opportunities for tax arbitrage and rich people can avoid paying the higher rates by doing things like paying a middle income salary to their otherwise zero-income college-attending children who pay a lower rate.

But flat tax + UBI is inherently progressive, so that's it. No phase outs + no tax brackets does exactly what everyone wanted anyway, but everyone universally pays the same rate and receives the same UBI so there is nothing to game. You get one choice, what the flat tax rate should be, which sets the amount of the UBI and determines how progressive the system is. It takes away all the knobs that politicians who don't know what they're doing (or corrupt politicians who know exactly what they're doing) can use to screw up the economy or shift more of the tax burden from the rich to the middle class.
>A car's lifespan is mostly determined by mileage.

This is far less true in regions with snow. Assuming you drive the vehicle in the winter, a non-trivial contribution to "wear and tear" on the car is rust which occurs even if the car isn't driven a lot. (Cars are far better in this respect than they used to be but rotted out fluid lines etc. is still very much a thing.)
