You know, I always thought the idea of a hybrid console/handheld was a terrible idea. I expect that mobile considerations are going to make it graphically underwhelming compared to the next Xbox and PlayStations. I also figure that graphical considerations for TV play are going to make it eat battery. We'll see if the jack of all trades is master is any.

But, on the other hand, Nintendo's games are just plain fun. I didn't buy a Wii U because I didn't want that giant tablet controller and its charging stand taking up space on my coffee table, but every time I saw Splatoon I wished I had room for it.

Perhaps this can fit in my life.

Lets not forget that big part of what made chrome leader was branding. Even the idea that chrome is so fast was put into our heads using those expensive chrome lighting ads.

The bad part is that they shoul just hire someone very good since its the hardest kind of rebrand. Maybe the comunity should pick the design studio not do the actual design.
GP made the comment that the risk of child services getting involved was comparable to the risk of being in a plane crash. When you send a child outside you are ultimately accountable for that decision if something happens to them (did you adequately supervise the child if they needed it, did they have a safe environment to play in, did you know who they were playing with etc) but if you put your child on a plane that subsequently crashes then no one will ask whether you adequately assessed the risk.
And that's completely reasonable, because freestyling with ball is just a different sport. It can also be amazing to watch, some guys are incredibly skillful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH42LEhcV3Y (beware, the sound track is irritating)

Great football players often could make some reasonable freestyling that impresses laymen, but they don't get even close to a dedicated spacialist. And the dedicated specialist will loose the ball in an actual game quickly, because in freestyling, you don't learn to shield from a tackle and you're probably not good at all in running 90 minutes.

Moreover, football is a game where you have 22 players on the pitch, and at most one player has total control of the ball at any one time. Most of the game play is moving without a ball - but still it's very important; particularly, defending is all about where you are and how you move, but also in attacking play, the ball-less players make the opportunities.

Yes, I meant the author of the article.
But even just inputting destination addresses has its problems. What happens when an Uber-like app freaks out and spams the self-driving algos with a hundred destinations a second? Or screws up the location and sends a passenger a dozen miles from their intended destination? Or where the Tesla algos find a route it's been given to be undriveable and just turn back? Sure, you and I would rightly hold the modder accountable, but that's because we understand how this stuff works. Everybody else will see "Tesla cars" not working right, and that's a huge headache and liability for Tesla. We don't know exactly how "black box" their system is, and how easily it can be made immune to spurious (or even malicious!) inputs, while also leaving it open to third-party apps. I would guess it's just a risk that they don't want to take.

And I don't think they'll ever ban people from going to places - as long as you use approved Tesla tools to request that destination.
As a child, I never really understood Peanuts or its appeal. If Peanuts is about childhood, it's from an adult's perspective.
Clinical just means that you have been diagnosed with Depression by someone with a bunch of letters after their name, as opposed to colloquial depression, which means something like 'feeling blue'. To be diagnosed you need to meet a number of criteria like 'loss of interest, fatigue' nearly every day for a long period.

As far as I know there is no expert consensus on whether depression and Depression are different shades of the same thing or qualitatively different.

'Depression is a chemical imbalance', as a model, is about on par with 'the internet is a series of tubes'. It's not flat out wrong, but it's so oversimplified as to be pretty useless for fixing or making predictions about the system.

Daimler-Benz demonstrated autonomous driving with little human intervention over long distances in the mid 90s [1]. Other German car companies had similar programs. So they are certainly capable of doing it, not sure why they did not push it to the market. Too expensive? No demand? Too hard to tackle the last couple of percent of required human intervention?

That's the number we can detect. Either intelligent life is extraordinarily rare, and we're the only local example, or it's fairly common and we just haven't detected it yet. I'd be much more surprised if we only discovered a single intelligent neighbor than if we discover a few hundred of them.
How would that even work? The footnotes contain clues about how things all tie together if I recall. Ignoring the footnotes just means fewer clues. The basics of the plot are in the main text I recall (basically the first 50 pages are the ending and wouldn't change by ignoring the footnotes).
Why aren't they including random chance into the possible explanations?

I might not understand this correctly, but out of 2.5 million stars, the ~240 they found to match their expected pattern could just be the random hit rate of this pattern among stars, .0096%.

I agree. We're working on that: https://github.com/saltyrtc/saltyrtc-meta It's a signaling protocol based on NaCl with encryption, authentication, forward secrecy, protection against MITM and replay attacks, and with an additional (optional) encryption layer for WebRTC (and in the future also ORTC) data channels. It's not ready for real use yet, but a first release with a server written in Python and client libraries for JavaScript and Java should be ready in the next weeks.
Seems to be a gaming device and not a tablet or phone replacement.

I would say with 100% confidence there is no way it would replace your phone.

And I would say with 90% confidence it will not replace a tablet. It may have a web browser, YouTube, Netflix, and a few token apps but don't expect full Android or anything. I could be wrong of course.
Maybe not a popular opinion right now... but I'm so glad there's at least one brand out there that isn't jumping the 'VR'/'AR' - bandwagon.

I've tried to get into VR with the oculus and the VIVE, but no, it's just not for me. Happy to see Nintendo do what they do best: come up with a great formfactor, but let games be games.

I don't really agree that the advice not to use black-on-white implies using light-grey-on-white. It's possible for designers to interpret that advice poorly, as the author shows.

Think of Knuth's warning against "premature optimization" and all the dumb decisions that have been justified on the basis of a poor interpretation of Knuth.

Just came back to look at this, and saw that parent had basically replaced his original comment with a new one. The original parent said that all over-water flights were within gliding range of an emergency airport at all times -- this is obviously not true, which was what I was pointing out.

No surprise since Edmunds makes money off of everyone except Tesla (no advertising, no dealers, no comparison shopping that converts to lead gen).

"How does Edmunds make money?
Edmunds sells advertising to marketers who have contextually relevant messages for site visitors. Also, car-shoppers who visit Edmunds have the opportunity to request price quotes from dealers and providers of insurance, financing and extended warranties. Edmunds is paid by the automakers, dealers and other service providers for the lead referrals."

Our Pivot Turned Our Competitors into Our Customers
Lot of questions.

Not sure where he is located. She says that she met him for dinner twice in one week. At that point, I think she had given him $90k, so even if he was not local, the incentive to fly out for a week would be pretty high. As for plans, they are characteristically nebulous and not well thought-out.

I don't think 'thinking realistically' is going to help. When his VoIP number gets shut down, he messages her and says he got a new number "because his old phone got smashed". When I point out that you don't get a new number when your phone breaks, she shrugs. I showed her an outline of the scam and it matched her situation exactly. I showed her news articles (like this one), I pointed out obvious lies. I wish I could reason my way out of this, but I don't think that's the case.

EDIT: as for laws that help people out -> Not that I know of. You can consolidate accrued debt, but that's it.
The Wii was a success the way the pet rock was. They sold a huge number of them but it didn't take long before they were mostly just used as paper weights. It was under powered, had almost no 3rd party support, and wasn't even HD. The OS design was crazy and the store was virtually unusable.

The Wii was a huge opportunity for Nintendo but they couldn't adapt to modern game play or sales to take full advantage of it. So perhaps it wasn't a failure but it was a huge disappointment.
Why is showing reviews relevant? Amazon doesn't take down reviews because they'd be prosecuted or sued for publishing the opinions of its members if they didn't; they take them down as a product decision.

It's not at all obvious to me that companies should be liable for the contents of reviews from their customers, even those that they have reason to believe are false.
This sounds like the perspective of someone who didn't actually use early iPods and definitely didn't use Sony Discmans and Walkmans and other predecessors.

Because folks who actually used all that stuff know that the iPod was a quantum leap, even in its first few generations. 5GB of storage, MUCH better battery life than any competing device of any kind, and FireWire 400 felt fast enough back then that it was like actually being on fire.
FO4/GameBryo has really weird hardware requirements in general that make it less conductive to mobile ports. It's super sensitive to single-threaded performance, it's super sensitive to memory bandwidth (very unusual for a game), it eats a whole bunch of GPU power in city areas, etc. Portables tend not to be known for those things. It also really prefers to be run on a SSD so it doesn't stutter when it's paging game-world cells in and out, although that could probably be tuned.

I generally agree that you can probably stuff it into a portable with some compromises within the next couple years, sure. But I'm glad I'm not a Bethesda employee, that's going to suck and I think the compromises are going to be big.

Re-engine'ing a game is a massive undertaking. There's a huge amount of work involved in porting mission systems and event triggers and so on between the two systems. I don't really think it's feasible, I'd see it as much more likely that they port the engine rather than porting the game to another engine (which AFAIK is what they did with Skyrim Special Edition).

It's especially unlikely because Bethesda has put a huge amount of work into developer/world-building tooling for GameBryo. They have been on a single engine for almost 20 years now (since Morrowind) and it's going to be a tough sell to throw all that tooling and experience away, even with the engine making ominous creaking sounds (as the FO4 codebase clearly is doing).

It clearly needs it though. Like, STALKER was playable on a laptop processor and iGPU ten years ago and the newer games are on par with FO4 visually in most ways. In many RPG senses it was even more flexible and more ambitious (A-Life was similar to Radiant AI). FO4 just runs like shit compared to how dated it looks and plays.

The situation I'm keen to see is how self driving cars deal with single track roads with passing spaces (which are pretty common in the wilder parts of the UK, e.g. Scottish Highlands) - if there is a conflict the general rule used by locals is that the car that can most easily reverse back to a parking space does so.

NB I'm sure "proper" behaviour can be programmed - I'm just keen to see it! (And who waives if it is a self driving car?)

Which library contains the definition of "_mm256_permute2f128_pd"?

The likely answer is "none", as these are built-in to Visual C++ in a similar way to GCC, with only superficial differences such as an apparent lack of indirection to some __builtin_foo.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/26td21ds(v=vs.100)....

"An intrinsic is a function known by the compiler that directly maps to a sequence of one or more assembly language instructions. Intrinsic functions are inherently more efficient than called functions because no calling linkage is required."

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y0dh78ez(v=vs.100)....

"The use of intrinsics affects the portability of code, because intrinsics that are available in Visual C++ might not be available if the code is compiled with other compilers and some intrinsics that might be available for some target architectures are not available for all architectures."
I'm fairly confident you're incorrect. There's a single shared account between the 3DS and Wii U online stores, and I also know for sure that 3DS purchases are tied to your user account, rather than your hardware. I suppose it's possible that it works differently for the Wii U than the 3DS ecosystems, but that seems unlikely. You can still only have an account attached to a single console (of each type) at a time, but if you lose one or it dies, you can reattach your account to the new one.
I don't understand why they do it this way. Buying a game on any other platform feels so much nicer, because I know if my console dies I can just log in and re-download. I assume it's something about piracy, but it does feel hostile towards regular users.
Tesla just announced that all their newly-manufactured cars will be shipping without the existing, industry-standard active safety and driving assistance features like adaptive cruse control, automatic emergency braking, lane assist, etc that they previously had, and that they will release a patch to readd them at some unspecified point. I'm not surprised that a carefully edited video of automatic driving in ideal conditions wasn't enough to head off a stock price drop.
There are. They just ask for significant licensing fees to cover the work they did. Licensing fees most users of cryptography have no interest in paying. ;) Others are dual-licensed with little uptake.

An early example was Guttman's cryptlib which is dual-licensed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptlib

Note: An interesting feature of it is that it embeds a security kernel that tries to ensure the algorithms are composed correctly.

Another dual-licensed one that seemed to at least have better code quality was PolarSSL used in Fox-IT's OpenVPN-NL project and partially verified by TrustinSoft's analyzer:

https://tls.mbed.org/features

MatrixSSL is another one aiming at small, efficient execution:

https://www.insidesecure.com/Products-Technologies/Protocol-...

Save the best for last in Amazon's s2. It has much potential coming from the combo of simplicity, design-for-verification, and actual reviews by pentesters:

https://github.com/awslabs/s2n

Note: There's also quite a few designed for robustness in smartcard industry. The EAL5+ one from IBM's Caernarvon team is likely to be high quality. The thing is we can't review them but we can review above code. So better to go with above. Also recall this list is of commercial replacements for SSL in addition to others' recommendations on LibreSSL, BoringSSL, etc.
Many/most of those comments were constructive criticisms of the marketing tagline ("Throw away your USB drive").

And on point, I would say.

One other thing to consider is that the generation that hasn't been born yet may invent laws that will go into effect while you are still alive.

If you do not propagate cultural values that prioritize true ownership to younger generations now, you may be punished for your attempts to assert true ownership later.

I will reply because I actually know that road. That is Sand Hill Road going toward the I280 onramps. The car stops at the top of the hill where the Rosewood Hotel is. On the otherside of the hill, the right line is only for traffic taking the I280 northbound onramp.

Also, the left lane is only for passing rule doesn't apply like that in California. Instead the rule is that you cannot be going slower than the traffic behind you or the traffic to your right. If you are, you have to move over. But if you are going faster than the traffic around you (or nobody else is around you) you can stay in the left lane as long as you like.
