I've been mainly reading SF Magazines for the first half of 2016.

Books read:

- Animal Weapons: The Evolution of Battle by Douglas J. Emlen

- Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien

Magazines read:

- Interzone: Issues 262 - 264

- Asimov's SF: July 2015 - March 2016

- New York Review of Science Fiction: Issue 330 (Special issue with tributes to the late David Hartwell).
What I mean is that it is possible that when we speak of causality, we are speaking of a specific subset of correlative structure, and that the features of those correlations that make them causal are matched with far greater significance against our usage of the term 'causal' than the features of correlative relations that do not take part in causal structure.

Like if I say "blue", you can very quickly simplify by assuming I'm talking about the color blue, rather than all the other things in the world that are also called 'blue', even though there's nothing that necessitates this simplification.
Pokémon Go is very similar to the Nintendo DS game "Treasure World" (2009), where you collect randomized virtual loot based on Wi-Fi networks around you:

http://www.gamesradar.com/treasure-world-review/
By "Foundation Trilogy" you mean the original 'Foundation' stories as gathered in the first three books ("Foundation", "Foundation and Empire" and "Second Foundation")?
"Planned society" is so vague as to be meaningless anyway. "Planned society" certainly can include UBI, though you appear to suppose it doesn't. It can mean basically anything where you have a government that enforces laws, really, including laissez-faire capitalism.

For the sake of argument I guess you mean "planned economy" but you don't have to support that to support a welfare state, either. Sounds to me like you're strawmanning the hell out of liberals.
You should re-read my post. I said that there were standards for digital redaction which are considered sufficient and equivalent to physical redaction. Break. If you still want to manually redact... iow, manual redaction is a waste of time, but if you have time to waste here's an effective way to waste it.

May is a pretty clear clue that the security "advice" which follows is fud. Your house may flood even if it's on top of a high hill, buy my insurance product.
I'm just waited for the first theft tied to this. Shouldn't take a thief long to get the app and find a seedy area to drop a Lure in. Wait for unsuspecting hapless victim(s) to stand around staring at their phones oblivious to the world for an extended period of time and it would be like shooting fish in a barrel for a ride-by phone snatcher on a bike.
Based on which Elasticsearch version was this generated?
I've heard this argument, and it makes sense -- medical morphine costs basically nothing compared to street heroin or oxycontin, so it seems like switching to legal supply of drugs could basically delete the profitability of the trade. Instead of a criminal gang making ~$75 from the sale of an oxy pill, some pharmacy makes $1-2 and society makes some taxes we can use to fund rehabilitation programs.

Question, though -- why does legal pot cost the same as illegal pot used to in places like WA? It seems there is still a large amount of profit to be made from growing and selling pot, although I guess (pretty much by definition) that money is no longer going towards criminal enterprise. Is it just high taxes?
Wow! Can I blame this for my obesity?
It may also be marketing, in the same way that a high-end jewelry stores hired a guard to stand around.
I'm not sure they're on her side anymore....those people may actually want her indicted.
This reminds me of how Google uses atomic clock and GPS for Spanner [1]

Google:
"“We can commit data at two different locations — say the West Coast [of the United States] and Europe — and still have some agreed upon ordering between them,” Fikes says, “So, if the West Coast write happens first and then the one in Europe happens, the whole system knows that — and there’s no possibility of them being viewed in a different order.”"

Renaissance Technology:
"Replete with schematic drawings, the filing describes a novel way for “executing synchronized trades in multiple exchanges.” The invention consists of not only sophisticated algorithms and a host of computer servers, but atomic clocks -- precisely calibrated to vibrations of irradiated cesium atoms -- to sync orders to within a few billionths of a second."

To translate what Renaissance is doing in technical parallel, they are trying to do a synchronous commit at multiple locations/exchanges at the same time. Submitting a trade to an exchange can be viewed similarly to committing data to a data center. By using atomic clock, synchronize these writes across multiple locations in effect eliminating HFT from jumping in.

If anyone is looking into prior art on this, Spanner is probably the closest I can think of. (I am not a patent attorney and don't want to turn this into a patent debate).

Be ready for clones of Pokemon Go
It's popularity has surpassed Twitter's DAU and Tinder's total install base : http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2016/07/10/pokemon-go-about-to-surpass-twitter-in-daily-active-users/#5bc7a9415174

I wonder it won't be long before we see many clones of it in App Stores.

Thoughts?

How I learned code in 1998 VS. How I am teaching my daughter how to code in 2016
Some articles have rightly said that "playing Pokemon Go" has suddenly become more interesting to the masses than "Dating" :)
For example, pretend you run product at Twitter and you want to learn from the people in your target demographic who don't come back regularly to Twitter after signing up. What would you ask them to get good/useful product feedback?
Have you tried to get involved in the Adam McKay/JLaw movie?
The thing is the base x86 architecture ISNT very CISCy, there's only simple addressing modes (no double indirect modes), no addressing side effects to undo on exceptions (auto increments), only one TLB dip per instruction

(the push instruction is really the only excepetion)

compared to its compatriots (68k/vax/NSwhatever etc) it was positively RISCy in comparison - a vax instruction could take something like 29 TLB misses, make 29 memory accesses - a 68020 threw a horrible mess of microstate spew on a TLB miss so it could make progress (made unix signals implementation a nightmare, where do you safely put that stuff?)

I think its RISCyness is why it's still with us
I enjoyed this article, but perhaps not for the reasons the author hoped. This quote, "With some tweaks to my G code and use of a nozzle that is more suited for higher resolution prints I am confident that I could produce a part that would be very close to the quality of the Stratasys produced part." really summed it up. It sums to "I can tweak my setup and get this part to be good enough relative to the expensive machine." and that is great. What is missing is it is every friggin' part. Seriously, all of the $2,000 printers have quirks that hit based on part geometry, especially in ABS. Part too long? need to add hold down tabs to prevent warping. Too many overhangs? extra supports. Too long a tool travel? Up the hotend temperature so that the extruded material doesn't cool down to much.

You can make great parts but every machine is different, and every part you make has a slightly different requirements. "Real" manufacturing tools are all about the repeatability and setup. Pretty much any machining center can take a gcode file, look at it, and adjust itself to make the best possible rendition, or warn you if it can't do so and meet its advertised tolerances. A hobby machine you print it, you tweak the parameters, you print it again, maybe you tweak the gcode a bit, and finally you print a really nice part.

What gets you repeatability? measuring. There are so many things that you can measure and hobby machines don't. Who puts glass slides (accurate to a tenth of a micron) providing position feedback on the x, y, and z stages on a hobby machine? Nobody, the slides and readers cost $1K just by themselves. There has been some motion toward monitoring the feed of the filament to give a "stripped filament" warning, but who measures the actual flow? the temperature of the melt chamber and feed path?

I really enjoy my 3D printer, I'm printing out a damper for a meat smoker as I write this, its going to be glorious, but its also the 3rd time I've printed this particular part to tune it up. We'll see how it works on the smoker.
They generally have deals (right now it's $1/week).

I used to subscribe back about 15 years ago when they first started charging. But I don't subscribe any more.

The problem is the bait-and-switch. The intro price eventually goes away. Right now a 1 yr subscription, digital only, is $174. But right next to it on the website there's a bubble that says "over 50% off". So the non-discounted price is $350/yr? More?

I get tired of shit like that. Charge me $50/yr and I'll pay. Keep jacking up my price and make me scrounge for discounts and I'll pass. Homie don't play dat!
Somebody should do an article on this!
In other words, she's at home tonight, safe and warm. The parent post's point was that as an individual one would most certainly be in jail, at least for the night.
>So, you think they should just blatantly lie about what their program is?

Obviously not. My point is that the term used is too trendy. Calling it something more serious might prove more useful in the long term. Maybe even turning into something that is an actual technical degree with proper accreditation.
Second that it's very clickbait-y — Just trying to profit off the visibility of combining two hot topics in the media.
I was wondering about that. There is a 10 minute boosted board ride from home that nets me about 10 pokestops, but most of them seemed like things that wouldn't be anywhere but an urban core: public parks, government buildings, murals, etc. I would imagine even in the suburbs it is far less dense. Did they not adjust for this somehow? I still think it is a revolutionary success even if it goes tamagotchi real fast. I've met so many cool neighbors.
I really respect the perspective of this peice. My reaction: this career, for me, has been so riddled with imposter syndrome and self-doubt that I would hardly recognize it without the kind of language in question. Dissatisfaction with my own expertise is a huge motivation, and the pursuit of confidence in my abilities has taken me further than I ever thought I would go. Realizing this, I've become pretty comfortable with feeling like the idiot in the room, and if I ever get comfortable or confident it's time to challenge myself more. That said, I think there are situations (like conferences) where inclusiveness is more important, and we can save the bar-raising for the workplace.
Which is irrelevant here because there is a timed relay server at each exchange.
>I'm so tired of people releasing utter crap and claiming it's OK to fix it later. You know what happens when you do that?

Apparently what happens is your app becomes one of the most downloaded in history.

The truth is, those "lazy developers" are right. They can release utter crap and fix it later. People will put up with it simply because of their emotional investment in the brand, and it will make money regardless of its issues.
Today, thanks to Mikhail Kalashnikov, everybody has the Maxim gun.

Incidentally, that line is from a humor piece, "The Modern Traveller", by Hilaire Belloc.[1] Read chapter VI for the context.

According to https://www.teekampagne.de/en/tea/darjeeling-tea/only-accept... the Tea Board of India estimates that about 40000 tons of Darjeeling are sold all over the world.

But only 10000 tons of tea are produced in Darjeeling.
> If you were to stop all of those things, you could surely stop the rain as well.

By the way, this is not true in general. Suppose B…F are sampled from Boolean variables with bias 0.5. A Boolean circuit like A = (sum(B,C,D,E,F)>3) + (not B and not C and… not F). A is correlated with all of its causes B through F. However, stopping all of its causes, causes A to turn on.

> If you were to stop all of those things, you could surely stop the rain as well.

But, you typically can't intervene everywhere. For example, you may not have any power over the gardener who normally turns the sprinkler on. The point of interventions (like turning a sprinkler on) is that you can reason about what would happen.
Was relieved to not find Coinbase on the list.
That works great for the NY Times paywall, but not WSJ.

For WSJ I open a clean browser (empty cache, no cookies, no nothing) then hit the "web" link.
They've described every organization with a culture.
Thank you.

Absolutely you won't see her in jail, ever.

Come to live in America for few years.. watch some politics you will learn how they do it.
>Also, people live in big cities for a variety of reasons. One the biggest ones is finding better jobs. If his current job is not paying enough to live by, I think that living in Chicago offers a lot more opportunities for him to get a job that does.

That's kind of a treadmill, though. There's no real point to moving somewhere chasing a better job if any increase in salary is going to be eaten up by extra taxes and living expenses. I could get a job with a substantially higher salary if I moved to SF, but at the end of the month I'd have less money.
We're conflating scanners and amateur radio here - so I'm just trying to pull that apart a bit:

The cool thing about amateur radio IMO isn't that it might give one the ability to intercept communications (even though the topic here is scanners (rx only)), but rather give one the ability to legally use a whole bunch of spectrum (tx & rx). Combine this with other technology - phones, software etc and it becomes a very powerful tool for civilian innovation.
Zuckerberg maintains a pretty heavy security detail. So does Sandberg from my understanding.

The future is sandboxed Windows, there is no way around it.

So while XAML with C++ does indeed require WinRT and sanboxing. That is where future Windows versions will be.

For high performance graphics there is DirectX and it interoperates perfectly fine with XAML. There are quite a few examples, including VS templates.

As for Win32, the Anniversary edition will bring the productified version of project Centennial, which allows running Win32 applications as sandboxed WinRT apps.

This is intended as a porting aid to bring Win32 apps into the new world, not as as something to use for new applications.
Banks have enough cash to cover 20% of their obligations. I think that is not that bad.
I had a hunch thats what was going on
Whilst @ work, I try the following:
__Stayfocusd -> Nuclear option (blocks access to websites you identify as blocked. 2-3 hour sprints is what I attempt)
__Switcheroo (I redirect multiple click-bait news websites that I involuntarily type to HN)
__Use 'Distraction Free' mode on editors I use for programming (IDE / TextEditor - e.g. SublimeText)
__RescueTime (to reflect on how it all turned out)
__I mute conversations in apps that permit it
Wow. That was the first I'd ever heard of that.
http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/bye-the-beloved-country-w...

People who live in a country usually know it better than foreigners, so if almost 40% of them are contemplating emigration, there are some deep economic and social problems within that society.

The last major immigration to Israel were eastern european jews leaving the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, and that was only because Israel put enormous political pressure on the US to not allow them to come to the states instead.
Also missing from the discussion are tolerances. If the Stratasys is able to print meeting high significantly higher design tolerances, that alone could justify the price tag. Certainly in other areas of manufacturing, adding zeros to the accuracy/repeatability of a system often adds zeros directly to the price tag.

If you can get a print hot off the printer and immediately say "LGTM" without further ado, that may just mean your application isn't very demanding.
Only two marked "insider"? There have been more than that. There were several incidents where the insiders initially claimed they were robbed, but that didn't hold up upon closer examination.

In the altcoin world, "take the money and run" is almost standard operating procedure. Remember Paycoin?
It might be, but that is where Windows on the desktop is headed, even Project Centennial is only intended as a means to bring existing applications into the new sandboxed world, not for greenfield applications.

So in the new WinRT world, C++ has a XAML stack and it is quite ok for me.

I seldom use the more powerful features from WPF that aren't in XAML.
Probably not helpful at all, but my commute is widely improved at the moment because I use a coach service - bus / coach collects thirty people and drives them into town. Strongly recommend it for anyone stuck driving.

No idea if such things exist in your location.

Not the point I was making at all but a good idea after all.
The CISSP was never intended to be a technical cert. It's for managers, to certify that in the week before the test they learned what most of the words mean by cramming (and then likely forgot half of them). The funniest part to me is that I've never met anyone who thought it was actually a good measure of security knowledge, and yet it's widely acknowledged as the benchmark for being a security professional.

It's also a great example of the network effect; it's only valuable because lots of people have one. Therefore, you can use it as part of the HR screen and still get some people through to interview.
Oh, and I'm never logged into FB / Twitter in my browser and my password is 50+ characters long.

The underlying theme is context switching is pretty darn expensive.
Eh. I feel like this conversation is lacking basic statistics.

San Francisco: 18,451

Tokyo: 16,000

San Francisco is not all that high, but denser than Tokyo. Cities don't need to be high to be dense. That's one of the biggest misconceptions. Most of the world's high density cities don't do so by using skyscrapers.

The actual problem? I think it comes down to two factors:

1. Almost all density in NA was built pre-car

2. So density is limited by the size of areas that were built in the pre-car area.

Taller buildings isn't necessarily the answer. Narrower streets is a larger determinant of density. But it's very hard to tear down streets, make them narrower and add new buildings.

It's especially hard to rebuild the suburbs around cities like San Francisco and make them more San Francisco-like. If the whole Bay area was built like SF, there would be no silicon valley rent crisis. Yet for some reason everyone focuses on SF.

I'm writing this in Montreal, a city built like SF. It's infuriating that this whole debate happens without people googling density stats.

How many people would have guessed that SF is denser than Tokyo, per square mile? Tokyo is bigger, and holds more people, because the Japanese have sensible zoning. But "tall buildings" is not how they do it over the whole span of the megalopolis.
FA?
Perhaps it would help to know what the product is.

Otherwise the only generic questions I can think of are:
What made you leave?
What change in our product would have convinced you to stay?

This is outside my area of expertise.
It's really putting the cart before the horse. Nobody is going to their grave saying "Gee, I'm glad I was employed my whole life. Doesn't matter if I was miserable, because I had a job!"
So far the game only includes the 151 original Pokémon, and I imagine it should be pretty straightforward to add in the later generations (700-something total). That's without adding things like shinies, gender, etc.

I don't understand your argument.

If a firm is able to consistently get to all the other exchanges first, they can shave pennies off of a large percent of orders. That's a pretty big downside for everyone that trades.

They get accurate prices to the market faster, but only by a millisecond or so. That's a miniscule upside.

How is the bad not a thousand times the good?
Nope, they haven't adjusted for it at all. I don't think they're using all the Ingress portals so the problem is quite bad in rural areas. Check /r/pokemongo for a few of the posts from users who can't really play because of their location.

I really think that this comes from Google-style thinking - there aren't any workplaces that'd have problems if we turned on cameras / sound automatically [1], there's no other timezones than California, everywhere is high density.

You legitimately can (combined with other, related, avenues of blame). Of course, doing so won't remove your obesity.
The professional printer printed out almost 4x the amount of material in the same time (100% infill vs 25%). If it had the same settings for hollow infill, it likely would have been much, much faster.
US restaurants need not list ingredients. But is it illegal for them to lie? That's an honest question.
It's happened a few times that after catching a pokemon the pokeball just lays there and I can't click on it to register
For this example, let's pretend the product is Twitter. Since I think everybody knows enough about to Twitter to think about the scenario.

I worry that questions like "What could we change" would miss the cases of "I was just busy" or not hit the heart of the issue. Seems like it'd be really good question for a B2B product
I did [0].

The first result is an article explaining how HFT can't front run [1].

How about instead of making vague arguments about how HFT does front running, provide a specific example of how HFT actually does front running as you claim.

And no, one anecdote is not enough. You have to prove that there is a systemic fault in the way the HFT trades in the market that allow them to operate illegally at scale without any repercussions. To find one HFT firm guilty of front running and then claim that they all do would be tantamount to saying all hedge fund managers cook their books just because Bernie Madoff did. I'm sure you can see the absurdity of that accusation.

I use and iPhone 4 (conveniently my mic is also broken) and I am not upgrading since I get /so/ much use of it. I feel it can run everything I would want from a smart phone.

My battery lasts like 10 minutes though, and the camera is kind of broken.
Release in Germany is delayed due to server issues. You can download the APK and play the game if you want to. I'm sticking with Ingress until the final release.

It's pretty bad that Google can't scale this. It's not like the mass of users is unexpected. They have Ingress data to go on and there's the Pokemon factor. Makes me not want to use the Google cloud for my next project.
How do you use them in the shell?
There are artificial intelligences all over the place, and many people have lost their jobs to them. How many telephone switch operators do you know? Traffic control people? Typesetters?
Thanks for explaining, though I meant down voting in general
You joke, but Google actually uses GPS mounted on the roofs of their data centers for time synchronization.
Thanks for explaining
