Chinese is the hardest language to translate. Or at least according to their statistics: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jOLa-LdidQU/V-qV2oJn1aI/AAAAAAAAB...

Human translations of chinese, are rated worse than old google translations of other languages.
Yes, except it's not really a fair system. A 4.5/5.0, to me, is an excellent score. That's an A- if it were a grade on a math test. Yet in Uber, a 4.5 means you get your driving privileges revoked. How does that make sense? It isn't a system in which I can fairly and accurately vote someone's work.
"One driver who caused a fatal accident was using Snapchat shortly before the crash. This driver was also going at 115 mph. It goes without saying, therefore, that Snapchat is to blame, not speeding or general recklessness."

The Snapchat was taken by the passenger. They were even hinting at racing being a factor. It seems like a bad example all around. I am sure apps contribute to some road fatalities but this was clearly a case of a driver crashing because they were going 115 miles a fucking hour on a populated road.
What can I say? I have two, identical TS140s sitting in the next room. One is running G.Skill non-ECC and the other is running Kingston ECC modules.
That's a more concise way of saying what I was trying to say. The person I was responding to appeared to think it was a statement that the other variables were insignificant, rather than controlled (at least that's how I interpreted their post).
great question!
I also find it more difficult to familiarize myself with the structure of anything I didn't build, as architecture is rarely made clear by file-system hierarchies and everything is just sort of informationally flat at first, until some sense of structure appears.

were there a tool (ha!) that could make some schematics and reveal info across languages and coding styles... but this tends to be ones imagination aided with bits of paper or whiteboard.

No, the reason a third-party isn't a meaningful vote is because we have a voting system that means any vote for any but the two most-likely-to-win candidates has a basically zero chance of affecting the outcome. The reason these particular parties' candidates are the two most likely to win is, certainly, because everyone understands them to be the two most likely to win... but we don't fix that by simply pretending it's not the case.
Standard NY times reporting quality. You have to take it with a grain of salt or be in a position where their editorial viewpoint aligns with yours enough for you to ignore these evidence requirements.
Yes. In iTerm2 as well, (shift+)ctrl+tab jumps across recently used tabs. Holy hell how it's confusing and I am used to use (shift+)ctrl+tab in Chrome so switching between Chrome and iTerm2 while web developing sometimes is frustrating.

If I want to switch between 2 tabs quickly - I set them side by side and it solves the problem for me.

I'm really not. If I could snap my fingers and get rid of them all, I would. Can't do that though, so not an option. Also, dropping more than 300M people into one bucket like that is just... stupid.

Your quote is from the study I was talking about which is referenced by wikipedia. Sure, it dropped firearm suicides, but suicides by hanging went up at nearly the same rate. So... who cares? Didn't save anyone. In fact, just led to a more brutal death for these people.

The second quote is exactly what I'm taking about. I am all for tighter gun control laws, all I'm saying is that your claim that "Australia did it" is, as usual, not as clear cut as it would seem. There are many factors which may have led to a decline. You are also ignoring that there was no decline for more than a decade after the program was instituted.

> it is clear that your hatred for the 'barbarity' of a nation

I do indeed hate the barbarity of Nazi Germany, as do most civilized people.

Hardly surprising you'd be upset by that, since you're a Nazi sympathizer who has made it quite clear in this thread how much you hate the WW2 Allies, dismissing Allied casualties, claiming the Allies were worse than the Japanese, and lying about Allied atrocities that no history book mentions (for obvious reasons).

> But calling out anyone who simply asks "What about German civilians killed?" as neo-Nazis and Nazi sympathisers is, well, simply bloviating hysteria.

Remembering Germans who were killed is one thing. Focusing on nothing but German casualties, ignoring the vast majority of victims because they were not German (and were in fact victims of Germany), and criticizing and smearing the Allies is what outs you as a neo-Nazi. Who do you think you're kidding here?

> You seem to be getting really upset about the downvotes you are getting

"But the downvotes that my comment above (and no doubt this one) gets...". Your words, not mine. Not only complaining that your post with false information was (quite rightly) downvoted, and complaining about downvotes you hadn't even received, but even unhappy that an informative post about horrific Allied casualties was (according to you) upvoted. Unbelievable.

> I will be civil enough to stop short of actually labelling you as anything though, because I have no other knowledge about you to make such a judgement call.

Having no knowledge didn't stop you posting this crap:

"You probably have an 'acceptable number' of women and children that can be destroyed"

"You seem to be equating all the German population in WWII as Nazis"

"You seem to think that they need to be punished with extreme prejudice"

"you are probably OK with the fact that my parents could have easily been unimportant 'collateral damage'"

> I don't think that derailing this thread any further with our discussion will be of benefit to anyone.

What was the benefit of derailing it in the first place? What was the benefit of your other posts here, in a thread about heroism and bravery against one of the most evil regimes in history, repeatedly criticizing the Allies?

If you're going to deny being a Nazi, as Nazis are prone to do when outed, try not quack so loudly in future.
I had to stop using Firefox, because the 64-bit version apparently exists only to consume all of the memory on my PCs, not just some of it, like the 32-bit builds would.

I'm using Iron Browser now, which has its own issues, but which at least handles a hefty amount of tabs and some essential extensions without destroying system performance.

"Your statement just gave the downstream company your tacit authorization to hack you back in order to "swim upstream" to find the original hacker. Or to destroy their IP on your compromised device. Or to destroy your device altogether"

Do you actually think this is the only way the government knows that an attack took place from a foreign actor?

Botnets exist and our government knows full well that it's an infected machine and not the user of that machine that's attacking websites on the Internet.

"And Trump's cybersecurity advisor (General Flynn) doesn't think it's possible that the FBI could scan 650,000 emails from Anthony Weiner's computer to search for known recipients, keywords, or to de-duplicate the corpus.[1]"

In 8 days? I'm suspect as well that they could actually comb through all of the required emails in only 8 days. I'm not sure if you are intentionally trying to mislead with your comment, but the link you provided doesn't show us that he didn't think the government could do it. Only that it seems unlikely that the government could get through all of the emails in 8 days.

"Where have you been for the past decade?"

"Even if you don't think your metadata is worth getting worked up about, thermal scopes, your electrical usage, sniff dogs on your front porch, stingrays that affect all cell phone users within their radius.

I don't even want my Metadata being used by the government. I am 100% for privacy of US citizens.
Continuing the test analogy, I don't want to eat at a restaurant that got rated a B by the health department. There are many cases where not being good enough to get an A- means you aren't good enough to do it professionally. This is no different.

The author neglected to mention that miles driven in the United States increased by a record 107.5 billion last year, up 3.5% [0]. Even at 2014's all-time low death rate of 1.08 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled [1], that increase in driving would lead us to expect 1,161 more deaths on the roads. There were actually 2,417 (7.4%) more deaths in 2015 than in 2014, so the increase in driving accounts for "only" 48% of the increase in deaths.

What accounts for the rest? More notable than the increase in deaths is that the death rate increased from 1.08 per 100 million VMT to 1.12 (3.7%), only the second year-on-year increase in the death rate in the past two decades. The only other increase in the death rate occurred between 2011 and 2012, and the biggest decreases in the death rate over the past two decades occurred in 2007–8 and 2008–9.

What was happening in those years? First the Great Recession, then an economic recovery. The years of the Great Recession were saw the steepest declines in miles driven in decades, and the last several years of economic recovery have seen the sharpest increases in driving (to an all-time high last year). The recession years were also the only years vehicle registrations fell in recent decades, and the number of licensed drivers flatlined for the first time since the previous recession in the early 2000s; licenses and registrations ticked up again during the recovery years, and were up strongly in 2014 [2].

So we saw the death rate fall as the recession hit and people drove less, fewer people got licensed to drive, and fewer vehicles were on the road. Then during the recovery we saw the only increases in the death rate in decades, as people started driving more and more new drivers got licensed and hit the roads.

Here's a hypothesis: the death rate fell sharply during the recession because (a) fewer cars were on the road, making roads safer, and especially because (b) the cohort of drivers changed, shifting older, more experienced, and more cautious as fewer young people (who were hit hardest by the economic downtown, and who have the highest rate of death by car) could afford to drive. Then during the recovery those changes reversed and people began to die on the roads at a higher rate.

Corollary: this article about apps causing driving deaths is mostly journalistic nonsense.

Looks like a much beefier alternative to a NUC, which I was already impressed with.
Thanks to those who posted additional resources!
My fear with these designs is that because the chassis is the heatsink, there is the issue of the continuous deformation (expansion and contraction) of the chassis body/heatsink, and you get mechanical stresses on the mobo that eventually cause internal vias to break. So yes, it may work fine for 12 months, but the overall lifespan of the product might be significantly shortened.

Yes, that's an entirely credible idea. To use the first ad I found as an example, maybe I'm debugging an annoying issue with migrating my MongoDB cluster and I notice an ad for a managed MongoDB service and realize I'd rather pay them to deal with this.

I do! There are millions of useful services out there and ads are an effective discovery tool.

I actually think this update is now worse for at least Japanese -> English. The sentences it produces are now often much more readable, and much more wrong. Without some background in the language there is no way for the user to tell; previously where it lacked a match it would produce a translation that made it obvious it wasn't able to grok the meaning, now it seems to 'fill in the blanks' in a way that makes the sentence readable in English regardless. I guess this is much like a non-skilled human translator, but given the assumption that Google knows all this gives a false impression of the accuracy. It would be really helpful I think if Google Translate would provide some kind of confidence level on its accuracy for a translation - a bar graph, stars, something...

I have two problems with Noam Chomsky: the first is that he never makes any prediction that can be objectively tested. For example, imagine he said something like, "Over the next 4 years there is a 90% chance that the IPCC estimate for world carbon emissions in 2050 will increase by at least 20%". That is a concrete statement. We can test it. We can write down the current IPCC estimate for world carbon emissions in 2050 and do it again in 4 year's time, and see if it really has gone up 20%. Over time we could see if things he labels "90% chance" actually do occur 90% of the time, and thereby objectively assess Chomsky's judgement about future events. But instead he uses lazy rhetoric such as, "driving toward a cliff" or "most dangerous organisation in history", which does nothing to change the minds of people who don't already agree with his world view.

The second problem is that he gives zero weight to arguments that go against his position. Yes, it's true that over the last 50 years workers have lost job security. But what about the broad benefits workers have received: cars and planes that are cheaper and crash less often; a flat-screen colour TV with 30 channels you can buy with a day's wage; the internet; mobile phones; less lead in the atmosphere; less chance of nuclear war; less chance of dying in the Iraq war than in the Vietnam or Korean wars; better health care. On these benefits Chomsky is silent.

And it's not just in hindsight where Chomsky wears blinkers: if battery and solar power continues to develop at its current rate, no coal power stations or petrol vehicles will be built after 2030. On this enormous benefit Chomsky is again silent.

The most durable value proposition of an aircraft carrier is the ability to park 4 acres of sovereign US territory 2 miles off the coast of almost any country in the world within a few days. In close second is the fact that in it's default configuration, it comes with more combat aircraft than most national air forces. We have 12 of them.

Now, that said, current Nimitz-class carriers have a life-span of 50 years. It takes 3 years to refuel them. Changing carriers is a slow process. But 4 acres of sovereign territory anywhere in the world is extremely useful in a crisis.
I was hoping for something like this with the skylake iris 550. Top of the line perf/watt (for a cpu+gpu). GPU fast enough for light gaming/webGL, or older games.

There's an intel NUC that's close (M2 slot + iris 540), but it's a little pricey at $340 and uses 15 watt version (that throttles very quickly), instead of the 28 watt version that can actually sustain a decent level of performance.

Fast, quiet, decent CPU+GPU shouldn't really be that hard.

Seems like GPUs are getting their with the gtx 1050/60/70 having tiny half length cards available, but I've seen very few cases designed for them.
Ok, so maybe Socrates wasn't entirely correct, but it doesn't mean his argument holds no value. I mean, how do we measure the impacts books have had on our brains? Learning without correct guidance can become a problem too and books and the internet encourage that, it is becoming a problem in my opinion. Teachers shouldn't yet be replaced by online videos, but they are.

Our brains are shrinking and while some think it's because the brain are growing more efficient, others think it could be that we're becoming less intelligent. In the case of the latter, how do you know technology does not have a hand in this?

This study shows that using GPS technology has affected people's spatial awareness abilities [1]. I've stopped using GPS technology because of this, I no longer wanted to feeling "clumsy" and slow when traveling or hiking. There is also some talk of "The Google Effect" [2].

I'm definitely not anti-books and I'm certainly not anti-progress, but I honestly think it's naive to believe technology is always beneficial to society, always stands for progress, or that we're ready to posses certain technologies.

Academia has officially decided that it no longer needs science, it needs populism. You won't get funding anywhere and a journal won't publish you. Your peers will ostracize you.

Skepticism doesn't need to produce theories or data, it just needs to try on different views. We can't anymore, you're classed as a believer or a non-believer for even attempting. Have you noticed how still the conversation falls when you ask someone the exact details of climate change? What % is natural? What is the error terms on the assumptions?

It's like questioning god in the 16th century, are you surprised that there is nothing in the public sphere?

I dunno, that's still more readable than most humans can muster.
I definitely think there's an "age thing" with regard to Snapchat.

I'm 37 and I can think of maybe two or three friends around my age that use Snapchat. On the other hand, both my recent ex-girlfriend (24) and current girlfriend (22) use Snapchat constantly (exaggeration perhaps, but 20+ times a day is not unusual) and, of course, all of their friends do too.

In my locale, possibly for legal/insurance reasons, Uber drivers far too often keep their phones very low, and out of sight from other vehicles. Therefore, they have to keep looking far down.

For Uber drivers, the app is like a slot machine: you have to keep checking/interacting with it, lest you miss your next fare. With a navapp in a personal car, if it says I need to take no action for the next 1/10/100km, I know I can focus on the vehicles around me instead of signs for roughly that time.
