Why Investors Should Support the Tesla SolarCity Merger
For doing what Haiku and BeOS excel at, you need a huge pile of patches to the Linux kernel, to rewrite even more subsystems than Android did -- for one, the audio subsystem in Linux is an absolute disaster, and have the impedance mismatch of your kernel not being written with neither the same philosophy nor language as the rest of the OS. Haiku wants to be backward compatible with programs written for BeOS, so you'd have to write a mish-mash of compatibility drivers for that to work. At a point, it becomes easier to just write your own kernel.

I just wanted to say thanks for that comment. It set me off in some interesting directions.
I'm sure if your number is up, they will find you. :-)

There seems to be a lot of momentum in the "canvas large data sets" space. It has always been on the wish list for the authorities (see many RFP's for the DARPA "Total Information Awareness" initiative) and the challenge has always been storage and algorithm development. Storage is becoming a non-issue when you can have a petabyte in M.2 class SSDs available across a 10Gbit network of processors. The challenge is the needle-in-haystack finding activity.
Vulcan, New Glenn, and the Falcon Heavy really aren't in the same league as the SLS, at least as far as lifting capacity is concerned.

I think the SLS is an excellent use of NASA's time and money at the moment. They're using proven technology to build a system that they can either:

- fall back on in the event that commercial companies aren't able to deliver something comparable

- still act as a viable launch platform if cheaper alternatives are somehow disabled (e.g. another Falcon failure)

Create an OS kernel from scratch
Security is not my specialty, but I obviously wade in this field, being a developer. Having read this article I will say this to OP and the author:

Thank you, I am sufficiently paranoid enough to change my keys now.
Perhaps I'm misreading the law, but it looks like it solves the wrong problem: It addresses a cash-flow issue rather than the tax liability issue.

Say you have options at FooCorp and you leave. FooCorp is illquid and you have 90 days to exercise your 10,000 options. Your FC options have a $5 strike, but the company currently has a 409a valuation of $100/share.

To exercise the options you would need to pay $50,000 to FooCorp, then you would have a "realized gain" 950k (($100-$5)*10000 which you would owe 28% of in taxes that year, or 266k. So you would need access to $316k in total in order to exercise these options.

Two issues arise: (1) You may not have $316k just kicking around. (2) THE SHARES ARE ILLIQUID AND MAY BE WORTH $0 WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING WITH THEM.

The bill appears to help with (1) by letting you pay that 266k not now-- but later when the company shares become liquid or 7 years (whichever comes first). But it does nothing about (2) -- you might exercise and then the company goes bust, and seven years later you owe $266k and your current position is worth -50k... and because the taxes are AMT, you can't meaningfully write them off your losses against the taxes you owe.

This kind of failure doesn't require FooCorp to fail. You could have options at $5, execute at $100, and have things go liquid at $7-- ignoring taxes this would have been a $20k gain. But with the taxes you're still $246k in the hole.

The issue all along wasn't that someone needed extra money. The issue was the potential huge losses. If it weren't risky you could find a lender to cover the execution price and taxes in exchange for a return when the asset becomes liquid. (E.g. having to pay the $266k up front but getting it returned later when the asset becomes worthless and you write it off)

If anything this makes the situation worse by encouraging more people to commit financial suicide by making it less obviously a bad idea while being just as risky as it always was.
I think your point is valid, but even so the person you were replying to turned out to be correct.

There's an edit at the end of the article:

24GB is higher than the 10-12 he was complaining about from Firefox, even.
Love it. Althought I would prefer it be in a timeline fashion. It would make it more easy to skim with your eyes.
you don't understand my point:

the US is the only country on earth that ever dropped nuclear weapons on civilians. US generals
decided to kill civilians, in retaliation, to achieve pure terror.

the US lost 3.5k civilians on 9/11 and started 2 wars for it.

but all this mil-porn floats around, civilian armchair heroes debate death and destruction with zero empathy
or connection to reality.

just utterly inhuman.

Building an Insights Engine

That's exactly the "thing". Once some "meme" like this settles in, its super hard to change people's perception. Heck, I have very well educated friend who is super tech-savvy and he truly believes people wearing Google glass are most likely some psychos, who just wait for an opportunity to record others in public.

Perception like this is hard to change; that's why I don't believe Google will make Glass-like device popular/successful if they are going to brand it under "Google" flag.

To anyone working on similar device: purposely put low-density contrast/black-white camera (or some sort of sonar/radar -- you don't really need high quality picture in your Glasses to have some cool use for them) in your device and advertise it this way from day one, so that hopefully people will get used to it knowing there is no hardware to record them in 1080p.

Ish, and it depends on version -- like I created a RAID1 array for my gaming box when I was using windows 7 pro; then upgraded to windows 10 home thinking "I'm not using any of the pro features anyway"... turns out that RAID1 is a pro feature.

What's worse: if you try and mount the drives, it doesn't say "this looks like a raid1 volume, I don't have drivers for that, please upgrade to access this data", it says something more like "data corrupt, would you like to format this drive? [Yn]" :/

This was true in the past. Now wifi off is not really off. There is an obscure setting in location where you can disable it.

Of course Google does its usual, making it inconvenient. When you enable that setting wifi location is completely disabled and many apps which use finer location will trigger a popup to enable it back in order to get a better location.

They do this with any setting that benefits them. For example if you don't allow Google to store your historical location Maps won't remember any locations searched. As if it was impossible to maps store that details locally sigh.

Our one key advantage: after selling Matasano, we do not require payment in real money. :)
I'm pretty sure you're wrong. These asymmetric crypto keys, with which it takes a long time to encode/decode, are used only at handshake to securely negotiate a per-session key that's used in symmetric crypto, for which encoding and decoding is extremely fast.
I was excited when I heard of it, but I thought Darcs had run into some major issues with patch theory and exponential merges. Other than it being written in Haskell, why would I use it over git?
I can't wait until they start pumping video frames into the image search or whatever service produces those suggestions for Allo message replies.
The ssh protocol specs are actually quite readable. No, the slow asymmetric key is only used once to derive a fast symmetric key for the session. If you a set up a control master, then repeated logins to the same server (within some narrow window) will all multiplex over the same channel, too.

There's nothing quite like facing one's imminent dissolution to focus the mind.

Some years back, after watching someone very near and close go through and eventually succumb to a situation similar to yours, I used travel as one of my coping and recovery mechanisms.

Came a point on the trip where I found a very high and sheer promintory. I took the opportunity to consider just what it was that made staying alive worthwhile. Few if any religious or philosophical justifications do much for me.

The Talking Heads lyric, "heaven is a place where nothing ever happens" came to mind. And with it the realisation that there's only one sure-fire way to find out what comes next, and that's to be there for it. Regardless of whether that's good, bad, or indifferent.

I've found the argument convincing to date.

I'm also loving your posts and engagement. I've thanked you for them before, but here it is again: thanks.

> Could you explain what "baking" means in computer graphics?

It means that the code/configuration used to produce a particular result (e.g. an animation sequence) isn't accessible anymore, but the result is.

For example, Houdini (http://www.sidefx.com) lets you procedurally animate 3D geometry, using a collection of nodes, scripts, etc. This is very useful for authoring, but is extremely heavy when all you want to do is render the resulting animation.

So, you "bake" the animation to a file (Alembic is a popular option today, which Houdini supports) and then you use the baked file during your rendering. None of the code and computation that produced the animation need to be available to the renderer.

Put another way: "baking" is the CG term for "memoizing" the result of a computational process.
It's because it leaked out on YouTube earlier today. Probably best to get out in front of the story before everyone starts comparing it to Google Glass.

I think this is significantly better than what Google did with Google Glass.

It's better because it focuses on the one thing that is really easy to do well. It does not try to do everything at once. It doesn't try to give you apps in your glasses and everything under the sun. This is the right approach to products. Do one thing but do that well.

Of course, Glass took significant heat over the fact that it had a camera that you can record people without them knowing (except that it was quite obvious when Glass was 'on'). This thing appeals to have two cameras, and given that it just does video recording, it might be able to be on significantly longer.

I wonder if it has any privacy safeguards, like a red led indicating recording in progress?

It also doesn't look nearly as dorky as Google Glass did. Google Glass had the problem where it was trying to be an all-purpose life-enhancing thing that people would wear all the time, so it was trying to be both invisible and distinctive. This doesn't need to pretend to be something that you can forget you're wearing or something that you can pair with any type of outfit -- it has a strong sense of style, and it's easier to work cameras into a design that is loud than a design that is quiet.
