The point is that, on the spectrum of all imaging devices you might put on a satellite, both Juno and a cell phone camera are in the same rough neighborhood. They are dwarfed by telephoto lens, or 200 megapixel sensors. Remember especially that the topic we are discussing is the resolution (km/pixel) at a particular distance (see above), and for this the lens are much more important than the particular CCD chosen.
This is VERY well thought out, https://github.com/Marwes/gluon/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#embe...
To start with, most computers are running about 20-30 microcontrollers. No source code, most of the time even no access to the firmware.

Phones have a bit fewer, but I think you'll find at least about 10.

A simple cheap SD memory card has an embedded core, usually ARM7TDMI. Even most lithium batteries have an integrated microcontroller.

I'm also a programmer, I do bare metal embedded, kernel drivers and such. I often don't have anyone else to ask from, except occasionally hardware guys. They're also often stumped.
I'd love to read a paper that modernises pythagorean music theory with modern mathematics. However, medieval music theory would balk at modern piano tuning -- much less 2nd Viennese School compositions -- so at first blush, I can't see how that could be done.
In the German newspapers I read it was reported that the statements in question were actual calls for violence, not merely hate speech (I guess "kill all xyz" vs "xyz are evil").

So the police statement is rather misleading. To be sure, some official institutions have been involved in questionable campaigns against "hate speech" recently, so perhaps they wanted to show that they are making progress. It seems likely to me that the raid was actually about real illegal activities, rather than hateful opinions.

I think even in the US calling for somebodies death is not really protected by "free speech"?

Nevertheless it is worrying that official institutions lent their name to the questionable campaign against hate speech. (Questionable because it was initiated by several people with a track record of hate speech, and because it seems to be designed to simply silence unwelcome opinions, as hate speech is not clearly defined by the campaigners).
My experience is that technical due diligence is much more likely to be thorough in cases where someone is acquiring a slower growing, more established business.

If you're buying a startup, chances are you're buying into the idea and the team much more than the current technical solution, and if you're right the margin for error on the cost side are huge, so you can afford taking the risk of having spend extra cleaning up a messy code base.

Apart from rare areas where solving a particularly hard problem is part of the value, the underlying tech is a distraction if the team is good and the idea is good.

But if you're buying a "boring" established business with a moderate growth rate for its market position and revenue, whether or not you'll end up spending 20% on top of the acquisition cost over the next year fixing crumbling infrastructure suddenly matters a lot more.
10 rules for negotiating job offers
Personal guess: while functional (nit: only on Chrome for now :-/ ), the WebRTC site lacks some desktop features (integration, hotkeys, more control on notifications, etc) that they want to provide, and that are covered by the Electron API. For now there's none of it, but I think we'll see those appear little by little.
Is knowing, for example, that there's a race triggered by a new optimization in compiler version X that happens under conditions Y and Z really a qualitatively different type of understanding than "the weights are such that the ANN computed this incorrect output for these inputs?"

In both cases we can only fix a particular instance of an error and effectively have no way to show that similar errors don't exist, or even that we didn't introduce new bugs with the fix.
Attacks on free speech radicalize me.

You don't restrict rights based on how others respond to people exercising those rights.

I think what OP was getting at was is if you're processing each example on the fly, why aren't the unedited default examples cached so if a user just hits "Run" they can see it working, regardless of whether it's their own content or not.
Absolutely not my point. In fact, properly administered IV opiates have less long term damages of administered in than alcohol. (Pill-form opiates of the non-paracemetol fashion have no chance of liver cirrhosis, and the withdrawal has no potential to kill you, unlike sucking down two quarts of plastic vodka a day for 2 weeks then stopping cold.)

There were political benefits to scaremongering tons of drugs into illegality, economic benefits of keeping them illegal (should, say, 5mg generic Perocets enter into CVS tomorrow as over-the-counter and/or on-the-shelf drugs, petty theft might go up [much like I'm sure Robotussin is stolen frequently by high-schoolers who can't find someone to buy them booze]) would put tons of people out of work. There goes a significant part of the DEA (from those out in the field to those who push papers) along with the politicians who made their name during the Reagan-just-say-no-years, the extra police who were hired in more-or-less crimeless-suburbia to deal with some 16 year olds half-gram of weed, the attorneys who prosecute them, the defense contractors who make an excess of tanks in order to give those suburban law enforcers tanks[1].

My overall point was that opioids are a magnitude safer than DIY brain-hacking, if only due to the well-explored terrain of the analgesic properties of the narcotic (which, again, was the point of the article). "Even us neuroscientists/neurologists with extensive graduate school/residencies/fellowships and years of experience still don't know what the long-term effects are when we properly administer controlled dosages of current via well-placed electrodes on your skull. Please don't try to 'hack' your brain."

Sidebar, I'm not a medical doctor but every every grandfather, uncle (except one who went into mathematics as I did), and father all have been practicing MD's (including two neurologists), MD/PhDs, or PhDs in specifically drug design for evil-bigpharma). Drug design is basically 'throw a lot of junk at the wall and see what doesn't kill mice, oh god please make it to at least phase 1". Specifically, we're going to effectively look at our understanding of the brain and compare it to the crudity of surgery during the Civil War. The brain is an amazing thing - don't attach electrodes to it and try to modify its behavior until 'brain hacking' has been well-explored terrain.

Trademarks are fairly narrow in what they restrict other people from using. While not a "fundamental particle", is it uncool for Intel to have processors called "Atom", so now no one else can release an "Atom" processor?
The harmony of of popular music and jazz is based on the diatonic of major scale. Each of the twelve scales is a frame forming the harmonic system.

Translation: Western music is based on the diatonic scale.

Diatonic harmony moves in two directions: Horizontal and Vertical.

Translation: Music consists of notes played one after each other, and at the same time as each other.

By combining these two movements... we derive the scale-tone seventh chords in the key of C

Translation: We can build the scale-tone 7-chords (root + third + fifth + seventh played at the same time) on top of any note in the scale.

Wanting to sound unnecessary grandiose can be a problem with textbooks in almost any field.
Java Desktop apps to JavaScript, woo-hoo
For the same reason they don't promote it to Windows users (which will have a similar program in the future replacing the current "native" software): better integration, system tray support, no need to keep your browser open or to enable browser notifications in the desktop, directly accessing and managing your camera and microphone without relying on your browser support and settings etc.

I don't really think that calling to arms (in this case as self justice in combination with using Nazi symbols) is expression of free speech. It is totally okay that our understanding of free speech differs, but I just don't count that as free speech. And sympathizing with Nazis by using their symbols is not okay for me, too. I might be wrong, but in a lot of countries it might not be legal to call for self justice on a whole race.

My reason for citing something illegal is this is 1) this is a case where it is more likely to be used, and 2) it's still wrong here, so in cases that are more grey, it should be definitely seen as wrong.

However, your example doesn't really require a Stingray. It shows that pre-crime modeling and no-knock warrants have negative outcomes (to which I agree).
Disallowing editing is only one solution I suggested. The other is: determining that they haven't actually changed the sample text from one of the pre-canned selections, and thus returning the result from a static copy of a previously-performed transformation.

Edit: in other words, if a user changes the text from one of the pre-filled selections (MD5 hash of the text would be sufficient to determine this, or even simpler, note whether a keyup event was raised by the textbox), put them in the queue you're using now. If there was no keyup event, then read which selection was made from the drop down and return the already-transformed-in-advance result.

Making a potential "ready to hear your pitch" customer wait in line is unnecessary. There can be an "express lane" without compromising the "scenic route".

"This code is terrible" is not a good argument. Yes, it's buggy code. However, we know most programmers write bugs. This is an argument in favor of static analysis (and yes, your IDE is a form of that).
How big is the base image, e.g. printing "hello world" to the console? Is it modular, e.g. if you don't need networking[1] how hard is it to not include networking?

I for one consider separate windows a nuisance. I like the new consolidated "all in one" UI, just like I liked when browsers moved to tabs.

Honest question: what's the added value of separate windows (to be precise, separating contact list from discussions) to you?
The current (abandoned) Linux client doesn't even support group calls anymore.

And if there are ads, just like Windows users, you will be able to block the ads with your hosts file.
I want the future to win. And we are one bug away from a Hindenburg moment. So if I think what they do is reckless I will say so.

It's ludicrous to expect that an otherwise untrained, average human can keep up his or her attention while day by day the automation just works. It's just not how human psychology works. Someone called this particular kind of operation here the "deadly valley" because it's good enough to lure you to be relaxed and not good enough to solve all the kind of possible problems.

I absolutely want the future to win, and I'm terribly afraid that Tesla in its hastiness might hurt the progress.

> could you please cite at least one instance of what these people or people in similar cases said/wrote that should NOT the punishable, but is under current law?

If I am parsing what you wrote correctly then you are asking me to draw a distinction between different types of speech which should be allowed under law.

I don't believe any should be restricted. That includes the classic "shouting `fire' in a crowded theatre" or making threats to someone. Certainly in both cases if actual physical or financial harm results then the speaker can be deemed to have caused harm and measures taken against them. But the outlawing and punishment of the act of speech in and of itself is illogical.

In effect hate speech and other laws conflate locution, illocution and perlocution[1].

The effect on the discussion of ideas (e.g. the criticism of Erdogan) in a democracy strike me as obvious, so I won't go into them further.

My anecdote tracks with yours. Ours was a materials startup, no code involved, but totally dependent on a then-new type of plasma chemistry.

Intel Capital brought over their Wall of Faces (mostly technologists) for a "tech DD meeting". They asked almost no tech questions. All the questioning went to our business model, transition from custom proto to volume mfg, and building protectable IP. Our tech PowerPoint stack remained unrun, and I was very glad we'd stayed up all night doing 5-year financial pro formas.

I.C. invested. But I was surprised at how little they vetted our technology before signing the terms sheet.
All worldviews start with assumptions. Secular materialism relies on circular arguments as much as Christianity, they just explain less (see Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton). The only difference is that materialists often refuse to admit their assumptions - which is why, as a Christian, I admire nihilists - they're not afraid to admit their axioms and follow them to their logical conclusions.

I suspect there's so many people browsing that it doesn't allow simultaneous editing by them all. They're normally all editable. It was editable a few minutes ago with ~ 77 users.
Maybe I can also share a bit more insight into what's actually going on behind the scenes. When a user on stacktile creates a workflow, we are also executing a linux container environment on their behalf. This container provides the interactive environment to run the code in the workflow, but it's also a resource (and operational cost) which need to limit at the moment.
What about speech that implicitly advocates for violence?

Of course, all things in healthy moderation. In the end it will come to what one is willing to do personally. But we shouldn't confuse "spending money like my coworkers or peers do" with "maintaining a good quality of life", even if there can be some correlation. I think most people will not have a problem becoming "cheap" (to me this word means: a person who expresses their frugality in a dickish manner)

Germany could recognise that genocide and be adamant with it when talking to Turks.

Every large Russian city has some monument dedicated to Soviet political prisoners.

Plus sometimes there are monuments related to more specific ethnic/politican groups if they happened to suffer at that place.

You're looking at the wrong market.

At Hetzner, you can rent a dedicated server with 2x3TB drives for about $25/month ($0.005/GB, to scale to multiple servers, use Ceph) and a few larger machines for under $100. At OVH you can buy object storage for around 1c/GB and rent a few dedicated servers for less than $100/month, or use their cloud.

If you go to the _really_ low end, time4vps will give you a 1TB VPS for 2EUR/month, if you pay for 2 years (and they give you 4x the storage as bandwidth).

I don't work for any of these companies but I have services with all of them.

The problem was that the corner could not actually be cut. If the answer is, "yes, but we won't hit our performance targets," then the answer should have been "no, we won't hit our performance targets." Your management can't help it that you said it was possible.

Perhaps I'm being a tad too pedantic in this followup, but can you elaborate further? It's difficult for me to square how every style of music is equally sophisticated. I'm taking sophisticated to roughly mean 'complex'.

The government can use evidence collected illegally if provided by a private party not at the behest of the government. AKA: Cops can't pay a PI to break into someone's house. Prosecutors can use evidence from a criminal who broke into someone's house and then sent it to the police. Prosecutors can use evidence collected by cops while in active pursuit of a third party.

There is also evidence that neither side can use. But, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusionary_rule only applies to prosecutors.
But the whole point is that you shouldn't have to do that. The burden shouldn't be on the individual to constantly be finding ways to keep one step ahead of surveillance. The burden should be on those who would surveil them to justify why it's necessary.

I'd think the amount dropped significantly once Asperger's was removed from the spectrum in DSM-5 (although this article seems to ignore that fact).
in my slow and repeated discovery of essentially the same thing, i felt like i could understand a little more about the subtlety of racism and cultural ignorance more broadly. in its simplest form, ignorant people seem to judge other musics by the goals criteria of their own, which are just about never the same. its ironic because someone who is making this mistake hears the music as kind of missing the point, but really _they_ are missing the point.

you can bet that if alot of people have been playing some kind of music for many generations, with lots of enthusiasm, then it has as much depth and sophistication as any other music with equivalent tradition. the problem might just be you dont know what to listen for.

As a former Windows/C++/C# dev who has been working on linux for five years now, I have never automatically assumed Windows was slower than linux. The main advantages of linux over windows are not in the performance area, imo, but in any case I think you'd have to average a lot of runs to make sure of getting reasonably meaningful numbers from an ec2 instance.
