Indeed; it's the kind of project I'd be personally willing to work on for free as long as savings lasted. Whatever the crap is going on at Squad, there's no denial that this is one of the best video games ever, especially if measured by amount of kids who actually learned advanced physics in order to play it better.
Also likely depends on what they drink... do the French drink mostly wine?

I think Google is forced to charge $649 because of their relative experience in hardware, which exacerbates their already high labor cost. Perhaps they could've charged $499, but it would've resulted in an accounting loss.

Perhaps the next iteration of Pixel will be cheaper as they ramp up on hardware expertise and reign in on cost.
Yes (actually, a poisoning allocator which is the moral equivalent).

This bug was found because a KASAN ( https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kasan.txt ) assertion triggered during fuzzing.
How does a visual programming environment prevent an ASCII text representation? Counter example: Data flow programming, or even SVG diagrams. I can't think of an exact analog, but I'd be willing to bet there is a textual VPL out there. Sure you need a tool to support conversion to a GUI, it's a different way to think!
Very cool project. Great presentation.
It's weak but i think it's probably there to cover their ass. In reality, support will probably continue for much longer period.
This is cool! I've actually been using Trello as the backend for an text message service I made called http://advice.pocketwingman.us/

Worked as a great lo-fi solution for me, since you can just have all the support team download the Trello app and they'll get a push notification whenever something comes in.
It's the last feature browsers actually need.

What browsers still actually need is a really good way of dealing with certificates. The current mess is a sad joke.

I've tried things like Certificate Patrol, but that has tremendous problems in everyday usage. Browsers do a little bit of pinning, but security for the vast majority of sites is still dependent on the non-malfeasance of each and every one of the hundreds of certificate authorities that are trusted by default.

IMO that is problem #1, and it's been problem #1 for a decade or more. Mozilla takes in about $300 million a year, but I guess certificates are just too difficult a problem to solve properly with such a paltry sum of money.
Feedly is amazing. Highly recommend.
That's pretty unrealistic. Your average ex-sergeant-current-mercenary isn't fiddling around in Congolese politics trying to drum up trouble.
Unfortunately, it's actually the opposite.

I'm so old, I actually used to use the RSS feed Facebook provided for their notifications (wall posts) with Google Reader. That's right - there was a point in time when you could consume your Facebook feed via RSS (all in one place, alongside your other feeds), actually provided by Facebook.

The chronology is the other way around. People knew what a feed was and how it was useful, and Facebook worked out how to monopolize it and put their ads into it.
What is a type, and how do you think about it?

Play few hours more, and before you know it, you'll clock a thousand hours.

As a somewhat veteran player at this point, I confirm that this game is very important for space industry. It strikes the perfect balance between fun and science - making it easy to just eyeball your Mün missions and blow stuff up, while at the same time strongly encouraging learning real physics in order to figure out just what the fuck you're doing and how to hit your destination using less fuel.

The Bill of Rights was never intended to protect citizens from each other, the intent was very clearly to protect citizens and states against the federal government. Even with this limited scope, political pressures have overcome those two amendments (and most of the others). The parent is very right to point out that it is hard to restrain the majority, even with the constitution (and/or law) on your side.
I don't really agree. I think people make a lot of assumptions on the "losing" side of the interview table. If you don't get the position and feel like you aced the interview, you search for some justification that has nothing to do with your performance. The fact is, there are 10 people vying for a single position. All else equal, If we use angular, I'll take the angular person over the jQuery person (emphasis on all else equal). That person will likely chalk it up to jQuery instead of the simple fact that there was an equally qualified candidate with a more specific skill set.
You mean in transit like through one of their wireless APs? :-D
That is great to hear. I much prefer Express to Hapi, and I already have extensive APIs built on Express. I'm certainly not alone in this.
So we went from a time when tracking or reading your communications (mail) was unconstitutional to the present, where the government can track you, listen in on you, and record all of your (electronic) communications 'just in case' they might want to check what you've been doing. Doesn't leave me inspired with optimism.
I don't often say this about Warren Buffett quotes, but that is one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard anyone say. If you owned this 67 ft. cube - all of the gold in the world - you would be able to extract any profit you wanted from the vast majority of all electronics sold in the world, along with a long list of other products. Your $7 trillion would turn into...whatever you wanted it to. Buffett is showing his age and publicly admitted lack of understanding of technology.
I believe Google Home is cheaper than Amazon's Echo too. But in general I agree with you.
What you cite here corroborates with what I said, i.e. the gene pool of modern Italians are not different from their neighboring countries, Frances, Germany and so on.

Unless you claim that modern French and German are also all direct descendants of Romans, I do not see the narrative that modern Italians are the direct descendants of Romans can hold water.

They cannot be both true. Take your pick.

San Francisco has not always been the way it is now. Look at the numbers. This doesn't seem to be a complaint that poor people exist, it's that SF is failing its citizens by allowing this to get worse.

I don't ever regret having an opinion and sharing it, at least so long as I don't get annoyed and my tone gets away from me.

I hear what you're saying, but I just don't buy any of it. I DO agree that this is the kind of product that needs to take off if VR at home (given current technology, we should remember) is going to take off, and my reply to that is VR at home given current technology will remain niche for the foreseeable future.

Right now we're playing with Tamagotchis and calling them virtual pets, when the real virtual pets will be cool owls. What we call VR today will be as lasting and as useful as an Aibo - more something that should get us excited about what the future will actually bring, instead of what current tech companies try to fool us into getting hyped about today.

Plus it assumes that our brain software will keep functioning in perpetuity. Given that our bodies come with various forms of death clocks, it seems likely that our brain software would have a death countdown as well, preventing even a backup from working. Unless you don't run it, in which case it's more like freezing a person. It probably has it's uses, but it's very different from immortality.
Yup! People have their preferences! We are working on it this month.

Until then, please check out Electrode Modules, they are independent of Hapi or Electrode Core:

Well, no. As of today it's $685 + $80. In the future if you either already have the phone or if the magical "partners who have signed up" start delivering Daydream-capable phones then it's only $80. And I'm not trying to be pedantic - if this was, say, supported on many phones then I'd agree with you. But your argument is essentially that a product only useable on an itty bitty tiny fraction (well, okay, today nobody) of the cell phone market is going to push VR into the home. That seems highly unlikely to me.
Yep, this doesn't meaningfully change the equation, except for making the Nexus-quality phones even more expensive.

If you liked Android before, this will look great to you (though very expensive). If you didn't like it so much before, nothing has really changed with this specific device to change your mind.

The article headline is just clickbait.
PS VR is $400 without a move controller or $500 with a couple. In addition to buying a PS4 if you don't already have one. Yes, 40m people around the world have a PS4, but a lot of people that would play with VR don't.

The Daydream is likely going to work with most top tier Android phones in the coming year or two and will likely start working with mid tier phones soon after. You'll be able to use it anywhere you want and bring it with you to friends and family. And it's only $79 with the included controller.

While I have no doubt the PS VR will have similar success to the HTC Vive and Occulus, I think VR with a phone as a base will likely have a wider market due to economics and market penetration.
You are potentially overselling the "store physical gold" component of GLD depending on what you think the redemption rules of the fund are. As per usual Kid Dynamite is my favorite writer on the subject:

> Don't get me wrong, I love Julia and actually get paid to code in Julia, and it's a real joy of a programming language to work in (I'd put it close to ruby in terms of programmer satisfaction)... Just think that overblowing speed claims is counterproductive.

Whoa! Who is using Julia in production? I'm a data scientist in a large corp that has successfully converted folks to Python, and would love to use Julia for my custom stuff!
I'm suspicious of any article that's widely slated by a community yet still trending.

I feel there's a market need for a browser plugin that lets you filter out clickbait factories like his employers and all the dirty tricks they use to hijack our attention. There's no way we can keep up with them without computer assistance.
I rarely commute/go over to Silicon Valley from Santa Cruz these days, but friends that do say Highway 85 is basically roached from 7am to 8-9pm.

If I were to look around, I would consider mostly remote options or somewhere outside the bay area.

That said, Seattle (and east of Lake Union) is basically as bad (or worse in some cases -- my experience from airport) than the bay area.
Shall we come back in a year and see how it did?

Tell you what, let's try this. In a year (let's say next 10/1/17, easy to remember) we'll start a timer. How long to do you think that timer will run before Google makes a single press release, blog post, software update or even any other mention of Daydream? That is, after one year, what do you think their commitment to Daydream will be, measured by even a whisper of talk about it, or any evidence at all it hasn't been wholly abandoned?

I'm willing to bet that timer runs forever.
In languages like Java, with checked exceptions, you are required by the compiler to have a try-catch block that handles the checked exception at some point, or you have to add "throws FooException" to your function, which passes over the error-handling responsibility to callers of that function.

Stack unwinding (with 'finally' clean-up blocks) results in higher brevity and relatively cleaner code than having a err != null check after every function call. Not to say, checking err != null is optional, could be accidentally forgotten, and cause unpredictable runtime behavior.

Malignancy is the #4 leading cause of death in the US in 15-24s and 25-34s. #2, behind unintentional injury, if one excludes homocide/suicide (you may, or may not - I'll leave that to you). By 35-44 it's taken #2 in earnest, with homocide and suicide falling away behind heart disease, to take spots 4 and 5. That's as of 2010, at least.

I'm not "old folk," but I do work in medicine. I may have seen a bit more death and death-fear than you. Then again, maybe not; I don't know you.

A 50mm f1.8 or f1.4 was pretty much the historic "normal" lens to get. The 40mm pancake parent mentioned is a nice lens. I'm not sure lens speed matter as much as it once did though. And I'm also not convinced that a pancake lens makes all that much a difference when the body is already pretty big and heavy.

That said. It's a decent lens. If I could only find what gear pocket mine got shoved into :-)

One thing I think people ought to know is that there is also a community of mercenaries that don't have anywhere near the professionalism expressed in this post.

This is true, but I was referring to something like Scala's Try[T] (which wraps Java's exceptions and returns either the value T or the exception caught, and allows you to chain Try calls together through `map()`, `recover()` from them as appropriate, etc.) or Rust's Result<V, E>.
The smug replies on this comment seem to be the ones saying "Don't tell me about Rust".

So, then, why do you think that "We need to rewrite everything in Rust" isn't doing something productive? I've been a C++ and C developer for a long time and have been waiting for some safer language that lets me do what I've been doing in those languages. Knowing that Rust was a realistic option was what inspired me to learn it and write new things in it. If that happens at scale, that's how we actually get things written in a memory-safe language.

Amazon does the same thing on my iMac. I can't watch 1080p video on it, only lower resolution. I assumes it was just Amazon and Apple fighting, since I can't watch HTML video in Safari either.

His comparison makes sense to me. When you ride a horse or a moped, you aren't putting the effort into it, something else is. When you ride a bike, you're putting the effort into it. It's definitely a difference. I enjoy a 10 km bike ride, but it definitely takes effort, and I'm not likely to do that if I'm going somewhere I'm not willing to show up sweaty too. It's a completely different consideration on a moped (or a horse, but who has a horse these days anyway).
This was my first book on learning how to program (the original edition) and I couldn't recommend a better resource for beginners. I tried for a long time to learn how actual programming worked instead of just wiring together HTML (before CSS was even a thing) and this really helped.

It taught me how /programming/ worked as told through Python, instead of how Python worked. Even for new engineers looking to learn JavaScript or something else first, I highly recommend starting here, because with this as your foundation, you're set.
I didn't think you were being dismissive of it in any sort of callous or rude way. My comment was made in earnest, and honestly, without criticism. I don't think there's anything wrong with people at different stages in their lives having different outlooks on life and mortality; those outlooks are shaped by time and experience.

A young person generally hasn't seen (many or any of) their close friends grow infirm and die, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that they don't see life through that lens yet.
It would take long enough to effectuate such a switch in all products across the world that you could extract enormous sums of money in the meantime - far more than your $7 trillion. At the very least, industrial gold usage has not decreased in the face of the historically highest market price of gold. You could start at that price, and increase it until you reach the optimal price.
Crunch Report – Everything Google Hardware 2016
I think you are confusing a few issues regarding 'success'. As pointed out Mycin performed well, and since de Dombal's work in the late 60's we knew that computers could perform better than experts in specific clinical domains. Similarly, Internist-1 and other systems performed quite well. The block for them was integration into clinical workflows. The biggest barrier was getting structured data that machines could use to run the algorithms, not the lack of performance.

Today, workflow integration issues still remain, there is still a lot of free text entered etc. However a more pervasive issue is the lack of outcome data against which to train. In other words, what are we optimising algorithms for? In many health care systems we capture raw data, e.g. observations and labs, but not patient outcomes that are meaningful (i.e. based on optimising patient utility vs some more easily captured data).

The final issue for deep nets and ML is that these are descriptive models, they learn from experience, where as we know there is huge variation in practice and outcomes. In medicine we may want normative models based on best evidence, or some combination. And then there's integration with individual patient utilities.
I also like that I can skim text, and on a computer: C(tl|md)+f for stuff

Learning to skim text quickly for what I need is probably the single most important skill I possess.
So Kung Fu isn't from Kong Fuzi (WP has no relationship between the two, and since Kung Fu was Gong Fu I guess it's not surprising).

I had to stop reading because I felt something weird in it. Maybe too much hyperbole. Or the non academic sources. But it did make me want to broaden my knowledge of history outside the western nationalized scope we're fed.
It's not really comparable to heavy rail in terms of speed or capacity. You can fit 1,500 people into a single NYC subway train, way more than any light rail system in existence, and the express trains go way faster than any light rail because they don't have to worry about potentially hitting stray pedestrians, bikers, or vehicles. NYC subway cars will go up to 55 mph going express or in tunnels. At-grade light rail simply can't go that fast, or even if it could, it wouldn't do it because it's unsafe.
The general presumption, at least in the Anglo tradition, is that laws are territorial. So while Congress in theory has the power to punish conduct that takes place overseas, it must explicitly say so in the enactment and only occasionally exercises that power.

In your hypothetical, if an American killed an American in Angola, he could be prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. § 1119. But the fact there is a special statute for murder overseas tells you something--generally, there is no recourse for these violations when they happen abroad. For example, in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, the Supreme Court held that citizens of Nigeria could not sue British, Dutch, and Nigerian corporations for brutally putting down a peaceful resistance in Nigeria in the 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiobel_v._Royal_Dutch_Petroleu....

Although some circuits have declined to extend Kiobel to situations where the tortfeasor is American: https://uclawreview.org/2014/12/04/are-american-companies-li.... So potentially in your hypothetical the Canadian might have recourse in American courts.
