I decided to read the whole article for once before writing it off. There is some interesting information regarding how the rise in headphone use is having an influence on the actual music production.

But I think the overall narrative of the article steers a bit too close for comfort to the old "all you people have your faces in your phones all day long" theme, just directed at headphones. This is expressed a lot more in the initial 3 - 4 paragraphs, which is a shame because most of us will read the first paragraph and then hop on over to comments ;)

Most likely. The FAQ states that home offices are acceptable (Second question from the bottom).
Thanks for this. There is a bottle of contingencies in my bathroom, but, it simply is not an option for what plagues me daily. I quickly become wholly inefficient & anxiety transmutes to doldrums.

Not quite, but as the paper says:

Corollary: No probabilistic regular grammar
exhibits criticality.

In the next section, we will show that this statement is
not true for context-free grammars (CFGs).

That is, there exists CFGs that exhibit criticality. Programming languages are often parsed by CFGs, so it's likely that some programming languages exhibit the same criticality structure as natural languages.

I am the opposite. My 45 minutes of bike commuting, are about as close as I get to tech free time all day long. I like the sound of the outside, even the ugly city sounds, over listening to rubber coated bluetooth speakers belting out someone else's musical tastes, phone conversations, you name it.
Tesla is getting hundreds of millions of miles logged for R&D on their autopilot feature. It makes a lot sense business wise to launch this tech when they did.

It's clear from their PR response with the semi-truck accident that they see fatalities as an acceptable consequence as long as they can say they have fewer accidents per mile than 'un-assisted' drivers.

The question is: do we share their belief that this is ethical?
At least in the United States, most state laws dictate that babies are to ride in the back seat (if available) in child seats. Some states also dictate when a child can be turned around to face forward. Varies state to state.

It's definitely my favorite git client! It looks great and provides a very nice macOS like experience and and gives access to all git features I need. Especially I like the interface for single-line-staging and managing submodules. I use it everyday.

It's not and IDE as you do not edit your code inside Tower but just use it for staging/committing/push/pull.

It also has support for git-flow [1] but I am not using that.

Does it remove Tesla's responsibility?

You're literally now comparing Autopilot to criminal offenses and asking if it should be allowed, seems like you're suggesting Autopilot should be illegal.

Sure, drivers suck, this is a known bug in humans. I'd like to see Autopilot changed to counteract the human limitation rather than acting like humans should be perfect for a system to work.

This is how you get into bad UI design ("it is NOT my UI that sucks, the users just don't understand it! Read the manual!"). Except in this case people can literally die.

There are many issues which you can find common ground for a base case of moral absolutism when you are not being absurd.

Moral relativism allows you to accept the actual evil of other's actions as a product of their culture.

That is the kind of thinking that allows people to say genital mutilation is a cultural thing.

Or maybe the shared spaces are plain boring. I don't know what the author expects people to do on flights, but I'm not going to be twiddling thumbs for any flight longer than 30 minutes. Substitute headphones for paperbacks or newspapers, and the rant would still be relevant (for the lack of a better word).

Why do you think that's the primary reason? Allowing communication is a reason that was put forward, and the ECHR's quote implies it's the reason they accepted the ban.

Anyway, as I said to someone else, sunglasses and beards are not banned. It's also questionable whether the government has any reasonable right to demand that you are clearly identifiable in public. Should everyone wear license plates?

Identifying someone is not necessary in order to talk to them; you can talk to strangers, can't you?

The story of my startup or the one trick to fail your startup
"It's a winding road going through a canyon, with no shoulder," Shope told CNNMoney. The driver told Shope the car was in Autopilot mode, traveling between 55 and 60 mph when it veered to the right and hit a series of wooden stakes on the side of the road.

Thank goodness no one was hurt.

But I have to ask, what was the driver thinking? Autopilot late at night on a winding mountain road with no shoulder?

A question for Tesla: Why isn't Autopilot disabled when it detects dangerous conditions? TFA said it alerted the driver to put hands on wheel. If there is no response, what is the protocol? At what point will the vehicle attempt to pull over and stop (for instance, in the event of a medical emergency or conditions are simply too dangerous)?

I think that means only that programs written in a language described by a CFG could exhibit "criticality", not that they will. "Exhibiting criticality" is a property of a distribution (e.g. a corpus of human-written programs or an algorithm for generating programs), not of a grammar, IIUC.
Because identifying someone is a prerequisite for "communication".

If the police is looking for you, it makes sense that they would discourage concealment en masse.

On a visit with the nieces, I took the eldest outside and using a night sky tracker app, pointed it out to her. "You know what that is?" {teenager sigh}"no. A star?" "No, that's a planet.

But that's not a bulk $30-$40 up front. If I buy a game for $30 and play it for 5 hours over 1 month before calling it quits, I'm out $30. No way around that. If I download a free game with a $4.99 subscription model and spend the same amount of time over the course of 1 month, I'm out $4.99.

$30 is a hard sell on mobile games, because most people understand that app store is full of incomplete, unpolished, dishonest, over-hyped or some combination thereof apps. There are terrible Pac-Man clones where the AI is too dumb to even touch you [citation needed]. Conversely, there are ported popular franchises where your game play is severely limited by micro-transactions or artificial time limits.

Ignoring bad control schemes, mobile is damn near the perfect platform for gaming. Everyone carries a phone or tablet. Even kids carry phones. Too bad it remains somewhat tainted by bad developers and greedy companies alike.

Hi, no.. it's just an attempt at humor.
What's the current example?

Of course they weren't all criminals. Many of them were, though, you know, from prior arrests/crimes. Like this recent "victim" (or angel as some would have us believe): sex offender, arrest history, felon, gun in pocket, struggling against police trying to keep him on the ground, reaching for gun. But no, he's portrayed as some beloved member of the community and family man. Five kids, but basically homeless. Right.

If people stopped resisting and had some respect for officers, there would be far fewer fatal shootings. If a police officer tells me to do something, I do it. That's how it works. Black people, from certain black subcultures, start in with, "Nah man why you fuckin' wit me." I really don't understand why you want to protect the dregs of society and black society who don't know how to act, rather than help improve black communities, help them educate and advance and rid themselves of their most violent and counterproductive subcultures that reward unlawful and disrespectful behavior and keep them ignorant. As a black person, you're far far far more likely to be killed by another black person than a cop. Fine, disarm the cops and move to the hood. See how wonderful it is.
After a bit of Googling, I turned up this novel [0] by the Jane Doe who successfully brought the suit.

As for the original ethical question, I believe the tradeoff is an utilitarian one. Personally, I find utilitarian arguments totally unconvincing because the measure of utility is subjective. People read about the murder of a stranger in the morning paper, finish their breakfast, and carry on with their day without a second thought; the murder had a miniscule effect on them. For the victim, on the other hand, the entire universe has been permanently destroyed, causing an infinite loss of utility.

I don't understand why anybody thinks that Uber and Lyft will be the ones to capitalize on a fleet of automated cars. Once auto manufacturers have solved the arguably harder problem of creating automated vehicles, why wouldn't they then just run the fleet of cars themselves? Especially if there is as much profit in it as people assume. Even if they didn't run the fleets themselves, it seems like they already have a great infrastructure through their dealership networks to allow the dealerships to run their own fleet of vehicles. That even helps solve one of the obvious challenges of how to build out the infrastructure to manage the fleet in each city.

So if Uber is building their long term business plan on the idea that once automated cars exist they will buy them in bulk, build the infrastructure to maintain them in each city they operate in, and reap the profits then I am pessimistic on their model.

Well we do bike mostly on biking lanes here in the Netherlands (no chance of contact with a car) and we have a very biking oriented culture in general. Also here the cars are guilty (car driver can claim the damage with the bikers insurance afterwards though) unless proven that they had no responsibility what so ever (bikers and pedestrian are so called "weaker traffic participants"). It may make car drivers more cautious, or perhaps the fact that almost everybody is on a bike at some point makes them more careful. Also, on roundabouts (there are a quite some) bikes always have priority as well. In any case, I have never heard of any accidents. It is known though that here, when the schools start after a holiday there is an increase in accidents, this is probably related to car drivers needing to become used again of the high amount of bikers on the road.

Here is a nice example of a typical rush hour, the red lane is only for bikes, of course everybody is very careful at intersections :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-AbPav5E5M (by the way the bus also has it's own lane in this example, and everybody knows: bus drivers don't mess around.)

Since the title links only to the homepage where I didn't find an announcement (at this time), here's an article that shows the email they send out:

Every month i create a file (e.g. 201605.csv for May 2016) where I write date, description, amount and category, manually, using whatever editor I have at hand.
The files reside on Dropbox so I can also update these via smartphone when needed.
And I wrote (like 15 years ago?) a very simple Perl script that pointed at csv files will summarize expenses and income by category, and provide totals (along as percentages, i.e. stuff like

"BOOKS: 23.75 / 0.31% of total monthly expenses"

That's all.
Being .csv it can be manually updated, ported wherever I can run Perl, imported in Excel or in any DB I may care for etc.
If I want to run analysis I can paste together all the files and run R on these etc. etc. etc.

I have maybe 20 categories, so it's easy to assign to them and I don't have to agonize for hours about how to tag any non-recurring expenses.

This has proven to be enough for me. YMMV, of course.
Speaking as someone who ran a very popular video chat service that had on average 5+ DDoS attacks a day, I can tell you that the vast majority of our attacks were under 1gbps in size. Usually the 'attackers' would use services you can rent on hackforums for 5-10$/week to 'boot' websites and people offline.

Thats why I was asking about how efficient this was on a per-server basis and why I think a answer would be beneficial. Most DDoS attacks are not the multi-gig reflection attacks you read about and defending against those types of attacks is much more complicated.

Regardless, I am not debating if ddos prevention has to be in depth or not. Im asking how efficient this is on a single server.

This seems like a very important paper, basically showing that Markov models with exponential decay of influence of tokens by distance are often a poor model, where as deep neural networks with LSTM (long short term memory) has power law decay of influence decay, which performs better for a variety of sequential data.

BTW, I went to the North American Association of Computational Linguistics conference in April and it seemed like half the papers used LSTM.

After searching a bit, there seems to be a Python API for controlling Virtual Box. Perhaps that is what is meant here.
VirtualBox supports scripting using python; for that, it provides a python module. Just like any other python library, it needs to specifically support py3 syntax, or errors may happen.

How to Succeed Even When You're Failing
One tweet that led to an arrest said that Micah Johnson, the man who shot police officers in Dallas last week, was a hero. None of the men have been named, nor have they been charged.

“I know this is a new issue, but I want these people charged with crimes,” said Detroit Police Chief James Craig. “I’ve directed my officers to prepare warrants for these four individuals, and we’ll see which venue is the best to pursue charges,” he said.

The war has begun.
You got it reversed, this is the justification that has been put forward for the law to come into existence in France.

The basic idea is that non-verbal face-to-face communication is culturally expected as a very basic and fundamental part of our social interactions, however inconsequential they seem. An example: bump into someone on the bus, and you'll instantly look at their face to know if they're hurt or annoyed or sorry or vindictive without a word, and can proceed on with appropriate verbal communication. In other cultures maybe arm language suffices but in a European one it creates unease at best not to see the other's full face.

This is basically why even ill people don't wear masks around here (when it would really help not spreading diseases like flu) which is, I hear, basically a given in Asian cultures.

The French government decided to make a statement about it and declared that masking your face is illegal (barring a couple exceptions including medical reasons, safety, and cultural†† events) for cultural and security† reasons.

† Obviously terrorists vet in favor of RFC3514 and choose to wear masks in public and so everyone is now safer what you didn't think of the children did you?

†† Otherwise that would make for an interesting conundrum
I wouldn't worry about it. Some people just feel a constant need to get up on that high horse whenever possible.
>Tesla allows minutes of hands-off time; one customer reports driving 50 miles without touching the wheel.

>They tried to blame the driver.

In this incident, the driver was using autopilot in a fashion that it should not be; twisting road at high speed. The driver IS at fault.

>They're being sued by the family of the dead driver

This is no proof of anything. You can find a lawyer to sue anybody over anything.

>and being investigated by the NHTSA (the recall people), and the NTSB

Well, of course they are. They're supposed to. Again, no proof of anything Tesla did wrong.

I'm not saying there isn't a problem with this. I'm saying your reasoning is wrong.

I'm also curious as to how many autopilot sessions take place every day. If there have been three crashes, such as this where the driver is at fault, out of a million then that's one thing not considered so far.
