That's actually a great idea. Someone else pointed out this press release [0] from Nvidia saying they're making the chip. Tegra's can run Android (Nexus 7, 9) which has the latest OpenGL ES and Vulkan support.

I like having a place to keep cars, tools, and sporting equipment. I suspect the people who buy these houses do as well.
Interesting that I got downvoted for this. Oh well.
Camera bodies aren't what you want to be investing in anyway; it's lenses. After a few years the body is basically disposable as far as resale value is concerned, if the body is even still working. Today's entry level cameras are miles ahead of what the pro cameras were ten years ago.

This. A friend of mine plays paintball (skirmish). He said the way to win is to hide during the whole game and slowly crawl towards your objective. But, it's way more fun to go in guns ablazing like Rambo.
That would seem to be their choice to make, rightly or wrongly.

My position on this is undoubtedly going to seem absurd to anyone hearing it for the first time, but it's that, no, in fact, San Francisco does not belong to the people who happen to live there already. The most good could be done for the most people by opening it up to -- unsurprisingly, almost tautologically -- more people.

I think some commenters are missing the point. The issue isn't that the houses are big.

It might not be that different this time. Hard to tell yet. In that the administration attempts to present this as one unified voice.

We have only a very general statement that does not say anything is actually 'confirmed'. It is speculative, so you could say the intelligence isn't convinced this time either. However, politicians are already spinning it for their agenda.

Signify: Securing OpenBSD from Us to You (2015)
If you knowingly make a wrong bet, then other people can exploit it and pump money out of you.

But yes, I think any realistic implementation would have to be tightly controlled. With the traders being whitelisted and audited after large bets (to test for conflict of interests), make their bets public, and force them to give reasons for their predictions, etc.

Personally I like the idea of not using a market at all. Have individuals bet with play money, or just assign odds directly and skip betting. Then you can find a set of individuals that are very good at making predictions, and average their predictions together. This is basically what they did in the book "superforecasters" and the CIA now uses something like this. They found it was superior to prediction markets (which themselves were much superior to predictions made by 'experts' with access to classified information.)

Tough players in prediction market will eventually start techniques like this, if they work. But it shows that just the incentive of betting alone isn't enough to get the most accurate predictions from people. You really need to filter for the people who are surprisingly good at it.

Agreed! I used to have a Nikon D7000, which isn't even that big when it comes to DSLRs, but it was too heavy and too big and I ended up basically never taking it out, sometimes even while traveling.

About two years ago I got a Fuji X-T1 and it's honestly one of the best things I've ever bought. It's small, light enough, amazingly built, their lenses are incredible, and it's just so functional. The WiFi functionality is awesome because with only my phone I can transfer pictures and post on Instagram while traveling. The straight out of camera JPEGs are so good I never do any editing.
The issue isn't that they have garages. The garages are randomly placed. They look glommed on.
The hate for attached garages.. Doesn't the author realize how incredibly useful, and unsightly, they are at the same time? I have a rented garage a half block away in the city, and a basement full of all my random projects, that I would only dream of being able to stick in a garage next to my house.

The application of quantum computing that most excites me is the possibility of simulating chemical systems. In this Google Research blog post [1], the author mentions that with 100 reliable qubits, one could simulate the process by which bacteria fix nitrogen. It's not as cool and futuristic as powering AI and breaking RSA, but the post mentions that we humans spend 1-2% of the world's energy fixing nitrogen industrially. The energy savings (or the amount of nitrogen we could fix for fertilizer) would be tremendous if we could use the process bacteria use on an industrial scale.

It seems to me that there are likely many other applications of quantum computer like this one that, while they don't appear in pop-science articles as much as applications in AI and crypto, would change the world in a huge way. Hopefully those applications will become more evident as the power of quantum computers increases.

You can also route only read-only methods in urls.py, for example via:

url(
r'path/$',
TheModelViewSetView.as_view({"get": "list"}),
name="thename"
)

or "retrieve" instead of "list" for a route which includes PK.

This of course makes the entire path read-only so it's not a way to make some fields writable and others not.
Similar thing i experienced with Rogers Wireless in Canada recently.

wife and I had separate accounts. i logged in with her account to the rogers account site and added my phone number to her account with a few basic details that are on every statement sent in the mail....

I had a joint account with my wife as a owner.

then my work had a corp plan with rogers, so wanted to switch to that, but since I am the employee, i had to be the account owner.

this isnt actually so simple.

they had to create a net new account with me as owner.
and re-assign the phone numbers to the new account.

when i called in to their account support line, they asked for my 4 digit PIN.
I said i have no idea what it is, the guy in the store just punched some numbers in when he setup the account and never told me.

they were okay with that and proceeded to ask me some details that are on my mailed statements....

Then they said they needed the account holders permission.
--i was at work, my wife was out of town, i didnt feel like bothering her.

i said "hold on one minute, just let me get her".
i put the phone on mute for 30 seconds.
unmuted and changed my voice slightly "Hello? Yes i am fine with my husband taking ownership and transfering the numbers"

"she" then passed the phone back to me and the rep proceeded with the transfer.
I wonder how many people actually use their smartphone more as an actual mobile phone than as a camera, laptop replacement, navigation aid, or whatever else. Given what these little computers are mostly used for, I wish the term PDA, or Personal Digital Assistant, would come back into popularity.
I thought the iPhone 7 camera lens bump was bad until I saw this.

They might be too late to the game with this one. I do like the 3GB of RAM though.
It's not worth much at today's going rates (maybe a few hundred bucks). The hacker probably could have made more money through a bug bounty program.
I'm not convinced that's really the point; some of the non-McMansion houses look pretty expensive to me.
LibreSSL is only better because it does less and much more human attention is wasted on producing bug free C code. That's an improvement but it's quite limited.
the majority of revenue will come from tesla network, it will far eclipse potential revenue from fleet sales, this isn't that controversial what tesla is doing and is what every car company will do.

Revenue from car sales will go down as more and more people use fleet services and car companies will make the majority of revenue from autonomous ride sharing networks, why let some competitor use your cars/software without having to do any of the difficult work themselves, creating a low barrier to entry is a losing strategy if your doing all the work
While OpenBSD is widely known to tech people, it's not on frontpages like Linux has been, and it has zero backing by marketing and sales departments like what corporations have e.g. RedHat or Oracle.

IBM has traditionally been good at enterprise customers, and tech, and I guess the need of an explanation reflects that this is a big cultural space.

Credit is due in the fact that they take time to ask the question.

My personal take is that if IBM's committment is to broaden an ecosystem (as I think I see hints of with the OpenPOWER initiative), then donating is a fairly obvious choice as it's a fantastic value deal - one more major OS supported.

However in a traditional enterprise framing for very large customers only, maybe OpenBSD support wouldn't make sales happen.

This is still an extremely recent conversation and I am sure a range of decisionmakers are involved indirectly. Let's see how it turns out.

I do agree that real hardware in developers' hands is required for real architecture support.

Let's see what kind of physical footprint and price point the Talos OpenPOWER motherboard will have in 1-2 years from now.
We work on applied R&D and the seniority boundaries are fuzzy. In practice if we take a junior engineer we can get a senior engineer or two off lab work (who in principle should not be spending any time in the lab, but does a little). If we hire a lead it frees folks doing high level concepts (and powerpoint) for more hands on stuff.
> Similarly, I would not be surprised if a face recognition NN worked better on Europeans rather than Chinese, for the prima facie reason that they have more variable facial features and other aspects like multiple hair colors other than black

Hair color, yes, but facial feature variability? I think your perception of more variability in European faces than Chinese ones says more about where/how you grew up than about the actual variability. To someone who grew up in an Asian monoculture, without exposure to media with European faces, all Europeans would look alike too.
This is the smartphone I have always wanted.... they just forgot to make it a smartphone.
>So it seems like stealing a phone number would allow an attacker to steal 2FA codes stored in Authy.

You're required to set a password on your Authy database before you can start adding tokens to it. So when I transferred my Authy database to a new phone (had to send in the old one for a replacement), I had to confirm the password before it would sync to the new device. Authy also bugs you about once a month to confirm your password phrase to make sure you don't forget it.

Additionally, you can set a PIN that Authy will prompt you for any time you try to open the app. I have that set, as well, so that even if someone should get past my lockscreen, they can't reach my 2FA tokens without another PIN.
It's Kodak. They don't have much to lose. I wouldn't necessarily call it a risk.

Former student here, left before the instructor disappeared. Prior to joining, I had been learning to code on my own for 2 years and was 4-5 months into my first development job.

The only reason why I signed up for this bootcamp is because it promised 50 private pair programming sessions with a mentor, one that I thought was a "seasoned programmer", which turned out to be fake. It was either that or Code Mentor's Long-Term membership option. With the private sessions and group sessions which didn't count towards the 50, I assumed I would be getting a better deal.

Other than one on one feedback and mentoring, maybe if you need a more structured curriculum and you are a complete beginner to the world and you would rather pay someone than stumble around for a bit until you learn the basics, a bootcamp would be a good option.
I live in one of these about 2 miles out of downtown Minneapolis. It was built in 1903. A "four square" house. It's about 1900 square feet finished space.

The house has a foundation that's 3 foot of mixed limestone chunks. The walls are made of 2x4s but the lumber is old growth trees --driving a nail into it is significantly harder than something you'd get at Home Depot.

The interior woodwork is the real gem. It makes the house special. 12 inch baseboards with a chair rail. Ornate headers on the doors and room transitions. I had to replace a few sections when moving some walls around and it cost a small fortune to get replacement pieces. I can't imagine doing it to a new build. I also can't imagine being excited about moving into a new place with trim that is made out of some composite material.

It's a simple, efficient design that I've appreciated more lately with these "McMansion" posts.

I agree, I think that is literally the case.

The part of the human brain that deals with 'unified logic' or whatever you want to call it, is visibly absent because it is not there. It was never employed to make those decisions, I think we should be asking broader questions about why not because I believe it to be a societal issue and not a recreational one.

This aside it is worth noting that in days of old they had 'style handbooks' (because they built idiot things in the old days too) to guide them in keeping overall symmetry. I don't think that solves for everything but it would have prevented the worst atrocities.

Just like an anti-patterns or patterns book really.
It's widely acknowledged by the paranoid. The reason why so many services started requiring a phone number at signup is that it's an extremely effective anti-spam technique. Of course, the paranoid people aren't necessarily wrong either.
Yep. My cars move out of the garage in the summer and I have all sorts of sports equipment and in-progress projects there. The cars need to go back in (for plowing reasons) in the winter and stuff gets packed away or winched up. But garages are pretty much essential for a lot of people.
An economic solution to nimbyism is bribe: as a developer give everyone within one block of your proposed site $200 per month, within 2 block $100 per month, etc, and see how many people vote against your development. Of course, you can structure it as property tax reduction for your friendly neighbors, and find a catchy name for it, like "externality tax abatement" (anyone interested in a kickstarter idea? just kiding)
I do the same, have since I was a kid. Walking out of the office a few years ago I was greeted by a sound I hadn't heard before; not the normal chinooks or blackhawks that frequent the local army airfield, but didn't have the distinctive huey sound either.

Decided to wait around for a few minutes, was rewarded by seeing a brand-new, not-operational-yet Osprey flying up the valley. Guessing it was going to stop and refuel, I drove down the hill to the airport and watched it touch down and taxi in. A fairly steady stream of people, adults and kids, started showing up shortly thereafter, and the flight crew was nice enough to get permission to let us all out onto the tarmac and give us a short tour. A few of us stuck around while they refueled it, and watched it take off. Very impressive piece of engineering, that machine.

That aircraft proved to me that as cynical and jaded as I might have become, some things still have the ability to reach my inner kid, and convinced me that I should pursue my childhood dream of getting my pilot's license.

Now -- money, time and weather permitting -- I fly an equally magical carpet in the form of a 1968 Cessna 172. That first solo was equal parts wonder that they thought I was ready and terror that I was about to show them why I wasn't. Currently building hours and practicing for my check ride, hopefully will have my ticket by the end of the year.

> You could buy what that $47k got you, today, for quite a bit less

Demonstrate this please. Without materials substitutions. Genuinely interested in the answers.

The cost of raw materials is very high as far as I know.

You can't get good hardwood, copper and so on without paying top dollar. Same goes for slate, trim.

I know that because I am actually attempting to build a tiny house in a traditional style for a little higher than 50k.

This would be a very valid comparison because it is;

1. Ignores cost of land.
2. Labour is free.
3. Doesn't ignore mod-cons.

I think the real difference is a normal person could have afforded the older house with a legal status!

Here's the thing, though.

Tesla wants their cars to be the best and most popular cars on the road. It's directly beneficial to their mission of safer and more convenient driving for everyone. our entire notion of what driving means and how it's done will change when Teslas outnumber manually-driven cars (they'll be closer to the protocols followed by planes, actually).

There's only one problem. Not everyone can afford to buy or finance a $100,000 car. Many people struggle to buy or finance a $30,000 car. But many more people can afford to lease cars at those price-points. So like every luxury car brand ever, it's in Tesla's best interest to promote leasing the car to get it in as many people's garages as possible.

This creates another problem: Teslas aren't sold at dealerships. You configure your car online, check out, sign some papers and wait for your car to be delivered. There's no central place for modified Teslas to be sold or traded-in and reconfigured back to stock. A modified Tesla compromises the safety features that make them so lucrative. This compromises things like their self-driving goals.

What do? Maybe locking down the firmware super tight and putting scary words in the purchasing/leasing agreement that discourage any curiosities regarding changing the car is a good approach. Given the stakes they're trying to pull and given just how friggin' awesome their cars are and given that I generally don't care for repairing cars anyway, I'm totally fine with never touching the internals if it means that I can have a more boss car for less money.

I think this argument applies for nearly everything, which is why SaaS products are so lucrative.
It's sad actually that this is the perfect type of exploit to block with SElinux, a simple write to unauthorized files. But since no one uses the user contexts of selinux then no one blocks this.

Your shell runs unconfined because your user role is unconfined. Any process you might start will therefore run unconfined, unless stated otherwise in a policy.

So this exploit will run unconfined and will be allowed writes everywhere on the system.

I once tried the staff_r role on a Fedora 23 system and it worked out of box but there were more errors and it would not be recommended for beginners.

I believe the same goes for apparmor since apparmor only defines "armor" for processes, not for users. How many use pam_apparmor today? [1]
