Hi, some persons seem a bit offended by my comment. Could you perhaps explain what part of my comment you interpret as sexist? I most certainly don't want to make you throw up.

> or NSF (whose yearly funding is dwarfed by the R&D funding at a single company)

If the worst thing you can say about the NSF is that they need more money, that makes it sound like GP has come up with a nice way to allocate the available funding towards particular research projects.

> It would be nice if you thought a little more carefully about what you wrote. The devil is in the details.

Details like how to get "crowdfunding" to put up enough money that "independent scientist" can be a full time job and not just a hobby for the odd few who somehow already have most of the needed lab facilities/equipment?
No, I think it's completely ridiculous.
I consider myself an "advanced coder", whatever that means and so I know that an IRC server is likely to be IO bound. I also know to avoid C, especially multithreaded C. Not because I would be unable to write correct multithreaded C, but because I probably don't have to to solve the problem adequately.

My experience means I know to pick my battles.
If it helps, you can think of the IANA time zones as functions from UTC to local time. This is not quite the same as the political definition. For instance, both America/Boise and America/Phoenix are in the "Mountain time zone". But when viewed as functions, they're very different -- one is continuous and the other is not.

To add another layer of complexity, the tz database is capable of representing time zones whose definitions are themselves changing over time. If your state government decides to switch from Eastern to Central time next year, you still want to be able to accurately answer questions like "what was the current local time in this location at UTC instant t?".
I'd argue that the term ' mutually exclusive' means that one thing cannot coexist in the presence of another. So... no.
Interesting. Naive "econ 101-ism" would suggest that Bitcoin's marketplace is "better," with its finer-grained and more evenly publicized price discovery, (i.e. efficient markets.) But it seems this situation is worse for Bitcoin itself, since mass-involvement in price discovery can induce bubbles and panics, and therefore less confidence in the underlying product/service.
In many large ways, it’s almost as if we have collectively stopped planning for the future.

We never did "collectively plan" for the future, nor should we.
I'd actually argue that's why this is so important. Companies like this get so slow/incompetent that we need outsiders to come along and say "Hey, this isn't that hard. Here's how ya do it" to keep tech industries innovative.
>Whereas a policing approach would produce evidence for inspection in public, after which those convicted of terrorism could be imprisoned with our consciences clear.

How do you police land that you don't govern or control? Drones are used in Pakistan tribal areas, Yemen, and Somolia. Three places without US forces to make apprehensions. Places that if you were to land US forces, they'd get met with armed resistance. There is no police approach that would actually work.
The cynic in me would argue that EU tax loopholes are intentional, ways around the data retention directive, not so much. I suppose Google might have a secret deal with MI6 or some secret organization that no-one even knows exist (remember when the NSA was referred to as "No Such Agency" ?) - and get an exemption that way - through the "war on terror" back door, so to speak. But my impression is that the EU states prefer the Stasi-way - to have their own illegal secret archives rather than outsource that bit to private enterprises.
> you use behavior for that, not nature.

I'll use whatever I choose to use when I'm making my point. You don't get to define my choice of differentiation.

> Also, nature is not the same word as natural...

That's just absurdly pedantic and a ridiculous point; I defined what I meant, take it or leave it but don't be obtuse.

> How is that any different from "Advanced mathmatics"? No known humans have had a written language but no numbering system, and speculation about the earliest humans without a written language is just that, speculation.

I think I was more than clear, naturally emerge in individual human development; i.e. all humans naturally develop it as part of their normal life-cycle. Language for example, this is vastly different than advanced mathematics which may not ever emerge until certain levels of culture are accomplished. Mathematics are not a natural part of the development of the individual human lifecycle.

> So that you can quantify, classify, compare, understand, intelligently discuss, etc.

Which can all be accomplished without said differentiation, so no, try again.

> Eh, it conveyed the exact same meaning - it just more clearly demonstrated the logical flaw.

No, it didn't.

The problem with all current VR (that I'm aware of at least), is that it models vision as if our eyes were permanently stuck forward and that all of our looking around was done by turning our head.

It's not remotely correct, and I personally think it's what makes people sick.

Our eyes are the viewpoint control, the head is a very coarse grained pivot, but it just controls the boundaries of the viewport. The view is always centered on whatever our eyes are looking at regardless of head position.

You can read a sentence while shaking your and twisting your head. Try that with an oculus (or any other headset).

In fact it's actually very hard to simuluate with your body the kind of sliding view that headsets give. You can do it, but it's hard. I personally have to totally defocus my eyes to stop them from locking on to something as I turn my head.

The minecraft hack that snapped view changes to 15 degree increments is actually much closer to how things work biologically.

VR is as anti-social as a telephone.

If you are hanging out with friends, pull a little box out of your pocket, press it against the side of your face and start talking to some invisible people and acting as if the people right in front of you don't exist... then you are being a jerk.

But, what if you were physically separated from your friends and wanted to hang out with them. Imagine if you could pull out a little box, press it against your face, start talking to them and suddenly it was as if they were right there with you no matter where they were on Earth. That would be a tremendous social enabler.

VR is like the telephone, but more so.

That's my rant anyway. On a lighter side: You are right that hanging around someone who is playing a game in VR is no fun. And, currently most VR games are still single-player because there currently isn't enough market to support the budgets required for many good networked multiplayer experiences. But, social VR is so awesome that there is no doubt that it will be a major use, if not the majority of use of consumer VR.
Christ this would be brilliant. The trouble is that you have otherwise-decent people like Kirsten Gillibrand completely in the pocket of RELX. You have massive COI and crap like the PACE trial who WILL NOT, under any circumstances, release their data, and who consider academic inquiries regarding said data (the foundation of any scientific publication) as "vexatious".

In short, you're better off trying to get policy changed at NIH and other, major funders of research to push openness (Google and major tech companies already are quite good about this), and only resorting to legal challenges when the satanically evil Elsevier and friends attempt to buy off legislators.

If you were wondering whether academic institutions typically stand up for scholars (as opposed to faucets of grant money and indirects, who can behave as they please), kindly refer to the following. http://boingboing.net/2015/12/11/what-will-it-take-to-get-mi...

Academia is not scholarship. The institutions of academia are in fact opposed to scholarship if it might make their senior "leaders" (often far removed from any scholarly pursuits they might once of had) look bad. Academia responds wonderfully to incentives, though, and that's where I do believe you have nailed it.

I'm not sure if end users are the people W3C is trying to satisfy. Browser vendors do enough of that. If anything, they're trying to satisfy media corporations that want DRM standards, or ad corporations that want pervasive tracking.

You go find one of those and let us know.

There's a policy, you just can't tweak it. By design.

Why are you so worked up about this? You're being extremely abrasive and combative here. Webkike didn't slut shame this woman or insult her. The question posed is literally "what's the point?" The article did a poor job of making this profile interesting. (Sorry, Sonya.)

There could have been an interesting article here about the maker scene in China, or the unhealthy way many westerners online attack this woman for her appearance, or how non-stereotypical people can end up interested in the maker scene, or maybe something else. Instead we got a title that promised body mods and diy manufacturing and an article that delivered little of either. There were literally two into paragraphs, mostly about her appearance, and then "Given all of this context, I reached out to SexyCyborg for an interview." What context? And now a question about 3D printing?

If I wrote an article containing two paragraphs about a guy called CyborgJim who wears Metallica T-shirts, 3D prints Star Wars figurines, and gets called a neckbeard online and then jumped into a Q&A with him, someone would rightly say "why should I care?" And I doubt you would defend my article so vigorously.
Why the downvote? I am from Brazil and here we have many politicians who think that we need law to prohibit this because their religion its against it, and by the news I see the same things happening in the USA with the same-sex marriage.

Yep, Duntemann is the author of Complete Turbo Pascal from the 80's.

It's a bit of a door-stopper, but it was one of the first programming books I ever read as a kid, and I have vague memories of it being a great introduction to software design in general.
Just think this through for a second. If they were bold enough to intentionally fabricate a lie to go to war, why didn't they fabricate some evidence of a WMD program?

So either they told a lie that they knew would exposed within a couple months of an invasion OR they were wrong. The later is much more likely.

Assuming malice actually turns us away from the real questions that should be asked. Why were they wrong? What did they do that led them down the wrong path? How can we make sure that doesn't happen again.

But if you just assume they were being badguys you miss all that.

I changed all my clocks awhile ago to UTC 24 hour. My life is 0 to 23 as it should be. An hour is an array index between that range. UTC is the standard. Standards are great. Like headphone jacks. Imagine (john lennon voice) everyone living this way. Stop thinking your 23 must be night time and my 7 must be start of day. They are just numbers. It's 20 right now. What does 20 mean? Nothing, it's just a pointer.
Haha, I have this sign [0] hanging in my work area along with a number of other TZ-related quick-reference documents.

While they have the same offsets they change between DT/ST 2 weeks apart. I learned of all of this less than 2 weeks out from the change...

Less is not arbitrary. Be it fewer assumptions, variables, bits, rules... And these are all abstractions. Abstractions can be counted, so all simple really means is fewer abstractions.

I've had one for around 8 years now, but it has lost its charge. I will need to re-magnetize it at some point. Mine used to be sensitive as well but I haven't had an issue with that for several years. Smashing that finger though can be pretty rough! I've never heard of one of these magnets rejecting (I am assuming it is in a silicone sheath). I do currently have a transdermal horn that has been rejecting pretty hard for the past 5 years that I really need to do something about though.

Elon Musk calls BS on report about Tesla withheld fatal crash before stock sales
Instead of surgery, I would probably go for something like a "compass belt" for an augmented sense. A compass belt is a belt ringed with little cellphone vibrators and a gps-based compass. Only the cellphone vibrator pointing north is activated at any given time. If I recall correctly, the huge downside is that, once you get used to having sensory north, not wearing the belt can be very disorienting.
They might momentarily enjoy the novelty of a motion game, but it's just a gimmick. When you get down to it, a lot of people enjoy just sitting on the couch twiddling their thumbs to get the character to do all the work.

It's not at all like a Wii style motion control. Gestures aren't merely mapped to button presses. You have precise control, so you can do something like swing a sword between a monster's shield and helmet.

That said, if the game is reducing the motion controllers to something like the Wii motion controls, then it is a gimmick, and you might as well be sitting on your couch.
Seems is the correct word here. Alas, it's one of multiple attempts at standardization ("I hold it" - good thing about standards is there's so many to choose from, as this RFC acknowledges), ignores charset altogether (a flaw of CSV, not of standard), and anything touched by MSO is unlikely to fit this. So, while useful for emitting CSV, no use at all for processing.

I believe the issue is that saying there are "bits" companies, and there are "atom" companies is a misnomer. I believe there are "product" companies, and there are "platform" companies. Product companies have to earn "each dollar" they make, platform companies get a share of each dollar thats earned on them. Amazon makes money from all amazon merchants. Google makes money from every ad sold. They're private "governments". That's why they get high multiple valuations. They just scale better.... they probably became the dominate platform because they're the ones who figured out HOW to scale, and they only scaled after they actually needed to.

How (And Why) to Find an Online Mastermind Group
It's occurred to me that there's been a new $100B company founded roughly every 6 years. 2010 = Uber, 2004 = Facebook, 1998 = Google, 1994 (a couple years late) = Amazon, 1984 (a couple years early) = Cisco, and then there were none in 1980 but 3 between 1975-1977 (Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle). Makes me wonder if the next tech giant is being founded right now in some garage.
A mastermind is a small group of trusted advisors who meet regularly with the goal of improving each other’s lives or careers. The collective brainpower of the group — otherwise known as a “mastermind” — is turned towards a single problem. A mastermind can solve problems and take advantage of opportunities in a way that an individual person can’t.
They are based on the simple premise that a whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. John Lennon plus Paul McCartney is not additive, it’s exponential.
They have been around in various forms, under various names, for hundreds of years.
"If you were in Venezuela and everywhere accepted bitcoin, would you rather have bitcoin or Venezuelan bolivars?"

If Bitcoin were the de-facto currency of Venezuela, sure bitcoins would make sense. But it's not, so it doesn't.

Moreover, there is no reason for anyone in Venezuela to use Bitcoin when they can much more easily and rationally use USD.
Like I say - the rational alternative for a bad currency is a strong currency of a nearby entity. In Venezuela, the default 'hard currency' is dollars. In Algeria it's Euros.
My guess would be no, as speech-to-text is no different than having someone transcribe the conversation.

its seems a bit like an agency problem. there is a lot of benefits from being the person who 'wins' the olympics or having political power while construction and planning for the olympics is going on. so it is not surprising that lots of cities will aggressively bid for the olympics even if it is not necessarily in the general interest. and this intense competition makes it even worse for the winning city :( do you think cities bidding for the olympics understand winners curse?
