Phone cameras are not going to get around the physics problems of the weight needed to make a quality lens. And barring some amazing breakthrough, computing power is not going to make the $1, 3mm diameter lens on your phone work as well as a big pro lens on a DSLR.

Most people would not be happy to cart around a kilo of camera body, plus kilos of lenses. Pro photographers have decided to make that tradeoff for quality photos.

There's no reason you can't add the phone sharing features to a quality camera though. But you still can't fit it all in your pocket, and I wouldn't carry it with me every day.

DuckDuckGo follows this process. They in fact do a paid 3 month assignment. May be that's taking it to the extreme and perhaps works very well for them. If I were looking for a job and this process was followed, I'd definitely be game. I will most likely be following a similar procedure while hiring as well. Just come to the office hang out with us for a day - we'll fly you in, put you in a nice hotel + pay you a per diem. All we'll do is work through a problem, not through a series of daunting hypothetical interview questions or some algorithm nonsense that you'll never use in your job.
That's a nice rationalization of the situation, but history shows that being smart enough to do one thing has almost no correlation with being smart enough to do any other specific thing that wasn't already necessary to do the first.

An argument can be made that abortion is a form of murder without resorting to religious arguments.

Things having to do with sexual behavior are in the realm of irrational "out of the box" so to speak, trying to bring logic into the discussion doesn't bode well for either side and can lead down a long and treacherous path deep into the ontology of human psyche.

Things I'm talking about are "simpler" things like:

- gun control. most discussions with liberal anti-gun opponents end up in 2 basic scenarios: "guns are bad mmmk" or "you must be some kind of a gun-toting redneck"

- illegal immigration. this is a huge can of [il]logical blunders from the liberal side. but essentially boils down to "dis rasist".

- global warming or rather it's anthropological component. normally starts and ends by labeling the opponent "a climate change denier" no matter how adamant one is about trying to convey that this is specifically an anthro component of it that is being discussed.

- then there's the ever present "dis rasist" and "h8r" labels used every time there is a racial component to the issue. these are applied at will. don't like Obamacare (or anything Obama)? - "rasist h8r"; think the dude had a gun and not a book when a [black] cop shot him? - "major league racist"... etc ad nauseum.

there are other liberal sacred cows but these are just some of the ones talked about more often esp lately with the election and all.

> If hiring a freelancer to do a little thing tends to generate all sorts of nightmarish legal liabilities, your company is either a government contractor or it has even bigger structural problems than hiring.

InfiniTime: Multi-Sensor Wearable Bracelet with Human Body Harvesting
Congress is different from state legislatures in that a lot of its laws create agencies, and those agencies preserve institutional knowledge (e.g., the FDA, FBI, etc.). There's a reasonable argument that Congressmen shouldn't need to know any specialized knowledge. If the law is so obscure that only lawyers can interpret it, that's a bug, not a feature.

One might note that properly implemented hash tables also have O(k) lookup times. And in fact, much of the time well-tuned hash tables outperform well-tuned tries.

Tries still have some advantages though:

1) The naive implementation of a trie of using an alphabet-sized vector for the child nodes is much closer to the ideal performance than the naive implementation of a hash table. If I had to implement a dictionary on short notice, I would use a trie.

2) Tries preserve ordering, while still allowing O(1) [in the number of items in the dictionary] insert, removal and lookup. If you need to get the key that is lexicographically next or previous, to another key, or you need to find the two keys that bound a particular value, it's a great structure to use. Comparison based trees can also do this but not with constant time insert and remove.

For a really space-efficient trie-like structure, see crit-bit trees[1] which are basically a space-efficient radix tree with on a binary alphabet (so each internal node has a fanout of exactly 2).

"The person who is carrying out amae may beg or plead, or alternatively act selfishly while secure in the knowledge that the caregiver will indulge him. The behavior of children towards their parents is perhaps the most common example of amae, but Doi argued that child-rearing practices in the Western world seek to stop this kind of dependence, whereas in Japan it persists into adulthood in all kinds of social relationships."

South America.

You don't need to get a visa prior to arrival for most countries.

Everything is inexpensive, including cell service. Young South Americans are very big on social media, so you can find reloadable SIM cards on the cheap. Plus, there is WiFi all over the place.

Buses from city to city are cheap and comfortable.

Ecuador is very cool, and you can take a short flight from Quito or Guayaquil to the Galapagos Islands and see a natural treasure of unimaginable richness.

Uruguay is probably the chillest country of all time.

Santiago, Chile, is pretty damn cool too.

People think South America is dangerous, but places like Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay are a far cry from the violence of Venezuela or the horror stories you hear about street crime in Colombia. Still, the slight whiff of danger makes a South American adventure all the more exciting.

And believe it or not, a lot of folks love Yankees down there.

The KKK's official newspaper endorsed Trump[0], but according to CNN[1], Trump has disavowed the KKK (and David Duke in particular):

"David Duke is a bad person, who I disavowed on numerous occasions over the years," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

> "I disavowed him. I disavowed the KKK," Trump added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time? I disavowed him in the past, I disavow him now."

Your eyes don't have quantum energy packet receptors :-) A normal photograph is made by bouncing light off something and detecting it. If you are using a CCD, you are still using false colour. It just happens to correspond to the true colour.

In this experiment, the electrons interact with the photons to produce quantum energy packets, which the microscope detects. What is the colour of the quantum energy packets? The question has no meaning, because they aren't light. Since the colour is arbitrary, they can choose to colour it in any way they find useful.

Having said that, I also don't understand the "photograph".

I'm a non american who is talking on the internet who has no power over this stuff. Feinstien came to mind because she in long term and I saw her stance in the Snowden issue. There are probably plenty of senators and congresscritters you can point out in the same way.
They are lovely places. I wonder if, statistically, it's a function of how long a given family has been in the country. A first generation immigrant (or immigrant family) seems more likely to initially move someplace where they already have friends or family, a home or a job lined up, and/or a preexisting community, and for Mexican immigrants that naturally tends to be in big cities along the southern border. After 10 or 20 or 30 years, new generations grow up in those cities, and some people might move away from their families, to more rural or remote parts of the country.

So, there could be a 30-year delay between a Mexican family's immigration into Texas, and a subset of that family and their descendants moving to Nebraska (random example). When someone is moving to a foreign country with a different language, and mostly populated by other ethnicities, it makes sense that families would usually start out in big border cities, and only gradually make their way to more and more remote, sparsely populated, and less diverse areas.
Started very strong, mediocre by the end.
And yet... when you dig into the history you often find a justified reason why the redundancy exists.

For example, the United States has seven uniformed services with commissioned officers. Can you name them? Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, typically people can get immediately. Given a moment to think, most people also come up with the Coast Guard. But what are the other two?

The Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is the sixth. Which most people kind-of get and realize that's why the Surgeon General wears a vice-admiral's uniform (in fact he is a commissioned vice-admiral -- not of the Navy, of the Public Health Service). They have a commissioned corps because part of their job is being deployed -- often alongside combatant officer corps from other services -- into emergency situations. They were organized for that duty along military lines by the first Surgeon General.

How about the seventh? Oh, that's NOAA. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. You know, the people who do the weather forecasts. They have a commissioned officer corps, and the director is a rear-admiral (again, not of the Navy -- a rear-admiral of NOAA). Why do they have a commissioned corps? Because they've historically rendered assistance to the military in situations where land and coast surveys and weather information were necessary, and commissioning them gave them protection under the laws of war (otherwise, if captured, they could be executed as spies).

Similarly, why is it that certain financial crimes get you investigated by the Secret Service and not the FBI? The Secret Service protects the President, after all, and that has nothing to do with finance. But originally they were chartered for the narrow purpose of fighting counterfeiting, back when Congress was reluctant to authorize a general-purpose federal law-enforcement agency. Then, since they had a good intelligence network across the country as a result of the anti-counterfeiting mission, presidential protection got tacked onto their charter (at that time, Congress didn't want to proliferate federal enforcement agencies). Today, they investigate some types of frauds and other financial crimes because it still falls under their original anti-counterfeiting charter.

You can literally write books about this stuff if you dive into the history of it, and you'll often find that there were good, rational, justifiable reasons for why things were set up the way they were.

You're suggesting it's some kind of feminism promotion piece?

Any company with over $50MM in funding will get press. I might buy the idea that part of it relates to her being a high profile founder, but none of this relates to gender.
Interesting how she pushed hard her book GirlBoss while her business was alreafy floundering. And now it's filing for bankrutcy. Can you trust any of the advice from her book?

If anything, she knew her business was in trouble so she hatched a backup plan: turn herself into an authority on how to be a successful businesseswoman while Nasty Gal still existed.

Why does anyone care, aside from the "Nasty Gal" moniker and its implications?

Edit: it's a serious question, not a rhetorically charged one. Small companies go bankrupt all the time.
No need to guess it, i will add the problem to the readme.

In short, the problem was, that we always had like 10 bottles of ketchup in our basement, because we never knew that we still have this many... So we ended up buying the stuff we already had and still forgot the things we needed.
So we had to go again.

This way, you can easily VPN into your home network and search for the things you need and not the ones from which you still have enough.

> I was also assuming a single kernel thread performs I/O via epoll/kqueue/etc. and either has its own queue from which other threads steal, or simply pushes results onto a random queue when requested I/O are complete. This accomplishes the migration I believe you were describing.

> When I/O needs to be done, you enqueue the uthread on the I/O queue and invoke a reserved file descriptor to notify the I/O thread, which then reshuffles its file descriptors and again calls epoll/kqueue.

If I remember correctly, what you described is similar to how golang perform I/O polling since they are using work stealing, except there is no dedicated poller thread, and threads take turn to do the polling whenever they become idle.

Also, with epoll/kqueue there is no need to enqueue uThreads and you can simply store a pointer(a struct that has reader/writer pointers to uThreads) with the epoll event that you create and recover it later from the notification, this way you can set the pointer when need to do I/O.

I agree a single poller thread does not scale as well as per kthread epoll instance, and that requires some meditation to provide a low overhead solution that does not sacrifice performance over scalability.
