I have one of these. I'm guessing Ricoh is to blame for this, they recently bought eye-fi[1].

I use my Eye-Fi x2 pro card with my trusty old Pentax DSLR. Pentax is owned by Ricoh, meaning I was actually stabbed in the back by my own camera brand :/

Exploiting ELF Expansion Variables
Blockstream isn't competing with the blockchain. Their's is one solution to the problem and others are needed as well, the lightning network being another, which is a competitor.

Competing off chain solutions to the scaling issue is exactly what we need providing that the main chain is kept secure. Once the extra off-chain capacity comes online fees will reduce again.
The theory is that you get to skip what would otherwise be sequential http connections of:

1. Download the CSS
2. Parse CSS for font URLs
3. Download Fonts

Which depending on a bunch of factors (caching, network latency, bandwidth, etc.) may or may not be faster overall and also may differ per client.

The article also clued me into something I hadn't realized: apparently FF only downloads the font from an @font-face declaration when it determines it will actually be used. This is a very smart bandwidth optimization but probably also makes the delay worse.
The OP may not be a native English speaker (located in Europe), so any perceived snarkiness is likely based on an overly literal reading of his word choice.

How about this alternative (which, btw, is how I interpreted the headline): "Principle behind EM Drive refuted" or "Experimental results of EM Drive refuted".

If it's free energy or free momentum, using only physics that has been perfectly described in hundreds of millions of contexts and experiments, for one and a half centuries, using mathematics that don't allow for either, you can rule out this alternative.

The likelihood that free momentum and free energy are possible is indistinguishable from 0. They are empirically impossible in the strongest reasonable sense the word can have.

You live with many Muslim neighbours and you look to leaks of dating sites for gaining insight into their lives?

Why don't you just plant microphones directly in their homes? You are their neighbour so you should be able to find a pretext to be invited for dinner if you just talk to them a bit.
Yes, indeed. And now Juncker is trying to pass CETA without national parliaments and that is currently backfiring, too.

There was this moment during the crisis where I think we could have moved forward with EU bonds, a proper banking union, increased EU budged and debt relief for Greece. But now we are stuck with a deteriorating status quo.

I blame Merkel for lack of leadership but maybe she just knows the limits of what she can push through.
The white/black money thing is not in vc land but is super common in "strategy" focused hedge and even mutual funds. You "incubate" 10 funds with very small assets and then after a few years pick the best one and trot it out to the market and pitch it based on its true but misleading performance.

It's p-hacking for funds.

For various reasons this particular shenanigan doesn't happen in venture, though. (hint: it's super easy to scale down a public markets strategy to micro or pilot scale of say 1/10,000)
There is an interim one composed by the members of the previous government.
This is the case. Spansish law requires companies to keep a copy of accounting books and register them periodically. That doesn't mean they have to be in paper form all the time, but they need to produce a copy if requested for tax auditing reasons. The "raid" goal is to prevent tampering of the files during the request.
I vaguely remember contemplating if I should get one. Where they not supposed to "just sync via Wifi"?
I view the O-1 as laying the foundation for the EB-1A. It's like your outline or first draft. It's super helpful to have your basic categories and narrative laid out in the O-1. The O-1 approval also provides some validation that you're on the right track.

You can then construct your EB-1A by fleshing out the categories with even more high-quality evidence (media articles, awards, salary, etc.), and perhaps adding a few more categories.

Unless the O-1 package was very strong, I wouldn't just resubmit it as an EB-1A. I'd take the time to amplify and strengthen it.
Interesting idea. Keep the door closed, once opened (reed switch?) Write 0's to memory then pull power to the workstation. Just be sure to save your work before you go to the bathroom.

Blue indicator LEDs on consumer electronics are a real plague. I had to cover the LEDs on a noise machine with electrical tape because of the harsh blue glow.

Unfortunately, it seems as though fixing the issue is not simple, and might require hardware changes.

The article says you can network via social media or in person. The goal is to know more people so you may be exposed to more collective experiences, viewpoints, and intelligence.

> You can drive through old neighborhoods near me with 1000 sq ft houses that sell for $40k because nobody wants a house that small.

How closely have you looked at those $40K houses? I've seen a handful of sub-$100K smaller houses listed in my region, but they're wrecks; they'd need a massive amount of work to get anywhere near the comfort and safety level of a modern, well-maintained house. They're basically the house equivalent of buying a $500 car.

I am not a lawyer, but it's possible the non-compete is enforceable in California in this case.

When an employee gets something "in kind" for the non-compete agreement, which arguably this is, then it may be upheld. For example, if a company pays you non-salary money in exchange for a non-compete agreement, then it may be upheld. Consider the case of former HP CEO Mark Hurd when he went to Oracle.

What's not enforceable in CA are non-competes in, for example, normal employment contracts that apply to everyone.

Edit: To be clear, Mark Hurd was allowed to work at Oracle, but he had to give the money back he got for signing the agreement.

"the background of all these investigations are the lack of tax harmonization in the EU and tax strategy of the company, like others such as Apple or Twitter, for example. Sales declaring these firms in each country are unrelated to their actual billing. Subsidiaries in Spain-and other European countries act as agents of another parent company based in countries with lower tax burdens as Holland or Ireland. National subsidiaries taxed only by the minimum commissions they receive from their Dutch or Irish matrix, most of the turnover recorded paying minimum tax rates."

This is clearly a criminal and very evil act that will likely harm many people, not just emotionally but also physically. I wonder how anyone could be so deranged to do something like this.

But it is also a cultural problem of these Muslim societies that they actually stone people to death for adultery. This is horrific.

If I were to make a dating app then I would outright ban all of these countries because I don't want to have their blood on my hands if I made an error and data was leaked as a result.

Of course in some cases people might be harmed physically even in our societies, but it'd occur much less frequently and what's most important - it wouldn't be something that is supported by our institutions, culture and society.
If they feared that Google might destroy evidence a raid makes sense over subpoenaing. It's also bigger and flashier so if the government wanted to make a show of it and 'send a message' (either to other companies or just seem to voters like they're being tough on companies dodging taxes (legally)) that's another reason that they'd go with a raid.
Another PR stunt of the minister, Montoro. No more than that. He also makes public a lost of debtors to the IRS (which should be illegal but he gets away with anything).

No, the laws are complex when dealing with complex situations and ownership graphs of companies can be basically any finite directed graph.

But obviously most ownership is a simple two node thing with a single directed edge connecting the nodes. These are simple to decide if they are legal.

See, I don't think you are morally obligated to "view" any ads, just that you shouldn't block them.

And if ads were purely static images, served from the same source as the article, you would have a valid point. But as it is, not blocking ads leaks possibly identifying information (e.g. [1]) to untrusted (by me) third parties.

Everyone has time sinks. Just about everyone over the age of 22 works at least 8 hours. 9-5 are lighter hours than anyone I know excluding those who are shift workers. I don't know anyone with a white-collar job that gets off before 6, and many start before 8. I work some of the lightest hours of people I know at 9-6:30. We all find time to network.

I would be disgusted if they did. It's private information. Just because someone stole it and made it public doesn't mean you should propagate it further.

These solutions are definitely more capital intensive than Kiva robots but they are faster and have a much smaller footprint.

If you have a Kiva-type goods to person robot system and your order profile changes like more lines per order or more order lines of a particular SKU, the system can run into scaling issues. There are only so many robots and so much floor space to navigate in. Shuttles to some extent have the same problem but because of their smaller footprint you run out of horizontal space slower than you do with Kiva robots.
After all, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Here is my Cliff's Notes version of the article's list:

5 Ways to Increase Your Cognitive Potential:

1) Seek Novelty. Openness to new activities correlates with IQ, because those individuals are constantly seeking new information, new activities to engage in, new things to learn, and new experiences.

2) Challenge Yourself. Brain games like Sudoku don't work to increase cognitive potential if you keep playing them. You play them, learn how the game works, then move onto a new challenge.

3) Think Creatively. This doesn't mean "thinking with the right side of your brain." It means using both halves of your brain to make remote associations between ideas and switching back and forth between conventional and unconventional thinking (cognitive flexibility) to generate original ideas appropriate to the activity you are doing. Like thinking both inside and outside the box when trying to solve a problem.

4) Do Things the Hard Way. GPS as an example. You may use GPS because you have a poor sense of direction. Using GPS will make it worse because you aren't giving your brain a chance to learn and build its ability to navigate. Same thing with auto-correct/spell check. You can't spell anymore because you rely on software to fix your mistakes.

5) Network. Whether on social media or in person, this gives you exposure to different ideas and environments that you otherwise wouldn't be exposed to. It allows you opportunities to practice the previous 4 objectives. Knowing more people gives you the chance to tap into more collective knowledge and experience.
I would like to see more 4G build out first. As others have mentioned, some carriers still have data caps at the 4G level.

> Diffusion is a routine tool but at <2 minutes it's hardly a problem to acquire.

The kinds of high-angular coverage scans they are talking about here (60-120+ gradient directions) take 45+ minutes on current clinical scanners. These scans give improved white matter resolution -- both spatially and for complex sub-voxel microstructure. With acceleration and faster gradient ramps the connectome scanner can get that down to under 15 minutes. It's still a long time for routine clinical use (typical U.S. scan sessions are billed in ~40 minute increments), but more feasible than 45+.
Hypotheses concerning intelligence from this article:

1. It is correlated with short term memory.

2. It is anti-correlated with experience. "Efficiency is not your friend."

3. Technology affecting cognition (think of a map or a calculator) acts as a crutch to reduce the required intelligence for an activity. Just like physical technology.

4. Intelligence is correlated with social skills.

"No, you will not be able to create an Eye-Fi Center account or log in to an existing Eye-Fi Center account."

And typically, when some non-government organisation campaigning for higher taxes claims that company X is doing tax evasion for Y billion €, and the matter is investigated by tax authorities and arbitrated by courts, then in the end the outcome is that some decisions and definitions done by X are not according to the interpretation of law, but the final impact is about 0.001 Y, and this is just a matter of reasonably differing views on interpretation of law, and no crime has been committed.

I have also moved to this view of peer review (my area is quantitative biology). Given the complexity of the papers, the ambiguity of the environment in which experiments are done, and the inability of most scientists to write up a clear description of their work, and the tendency to pad the significance of a paper's findings, peer reviewers at best act to find "invalidating errors" which should prevent the paper from being published because it's "obviously wrong".

Event horizon ringing damped by unstable space-time
Disagree strongly.

1. The funds don't "hold cash" for follow ons. They "reserve capital" which is subsequently called. There's no dead weight uninvested cash drag on irr (or properly, very little of such).

2. "Crossover" investments between funds are generally frowned upon, although the pendulum swings on that practice and more recently it seems they are in favor again. Still, it is the exception rather than the rule that the same manager (VC X) is allowed / supposed to put money from two different funds (X fund I and X fund II) into subsequent series of the same company's stock. If you think about it, that makes a ton of sense because in downside cases, VC X may then have to play King Solomon and split the baby between its Fund I and Fund II investors, both of whom it has a fiduciary duty to, hence a conflict it's best to avoid altogether. Now, that is a problem that comes up in downside cases and recent times have been good, so once again people are overlooking the conflicts in the name of keeping the punchbowl full and spiked.

3. Funds do most definitely reserve for and participate in pro rata follow ons in subsequent rounds. 100% of market early stage A/B/C term sheets will ask for pro rata rights (for follow ons). If you don't have follow on reserves you risk facing a "pay to play" or other punitive term in a future round (again only in the downside cases which people start to neglect in the up cycle times like the last 2-3 yrs).
