There are, to a first approximation, hardly any terrorists in the West, compared to all the other usual causes of premature death (car accidents, suicide, and in the US police shootings & gun accidents).

Of the organized terrorists, choice of target isn't going to be influenced by an app; it will be driven by symbolism (Twin Towers), political significance (Charlie Hebdo), availability, and the general fact that large areas of big cities are full of people (7/7 London bombings). There's no complex optimization going on here. Bataclan also appears to have been a vendetta: https://www.ft.com/content/d322a2d8-8df6-11e5-8be4-3506bf20c...

Of the unorganized terrorists, the mass shooters: these seem to be extensions of personal grudges where the person goes to their school or workplace and opens fire. Even when the target is a nightclub (Orlando), the choice of target is political (in that case, driven by homophobia).

I love that pie chart. So crony-capitalism subsidies paid to Standard Oil in the 1930's mean that its Elon Musk's turn to get federal loans and rebates. "It's his turn" people!

The huge federal tax payer funded rebates on Tesla automobiles is absolutely a subsidy for his company. To not count it towards the 4.9 Billion dollars in Federal aid is absurd. There's no reason someone shelling out $100,000 for a car should get a $20,000 rebate from the government. That's not 'helping the environment' thats rich people stealing tax money from the poor and middle class.
Two ideas:

Some WiFi SD cards (normally used by photographers to transfer photos while they are shooting, e.g. to get "live" updates during an event out to social media) have a hackable Linux on them, which you probably could modify to fetch images from the outside. The target device would have to understand an SD card in a USB reader as a storage device, but many should.

Married to someone with Anxiety
The specific bug the Chinese Room suffers from is its old and back then we'd have conversational AI next week so obviously it seemed a good example at the time of a non-trivial task that only conscious beings can perform.

A re-stating of it in modern terms using modern skills would be that surely only conscious beings can invent and operate under Calculus rules. In fact its pretty hard to do and somewhat elitist in that only a small fraction of primates can learn calculus, larger than who know it now, but it'll never be 100%.

So... Mathematica and Maple are decent computer algebraic systems. Better than most conscious beings, even. Well, OK someone programmed them. So fine how about Coq the theorem prover?

Now the ancient Chinese Room argument extended to the modern computer is assume we have no access to the engineering department who created Mathematica because its 500 years from now or just the sake of argument or whatever. In fact assume the philosopher barely understands the concept of boolean logic much less floating point or algorithms. Then ask a philosopher which specific transistor in the CPU is the one that "understands" the calculus chain rule. What part of the hardware is the mathematica "for loop" construct as opposed to does the "for loop" construct? How much silicon and plastic does it take to think about Calculus? Observationally a lot less than it takes to do natural language conversational Chinese but why and how much and now it does not take a soul or disembodied spirit thingie to do Calculus and when did that change and when will it change for natural language conversational Chinese?

Or heres some fun, when will technology advance enough such that self awareness and self authored demands for political autonomy no longer require soul spirit thingies and are just great piles of fast logic gates?
If it is a single-issue negotiation (i.e. know your own bottom line and there is no BATNA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best_alternative_to_a_negotiat... other than this one choice), therefore you're not afraid to lose (i.e. there are lots of potential suitors), then bargain like a maniac. The only thing they have to hold you by is a time-limited offer, but by doing this they've revealed part of their own non-bottom line (i.e. fear of losing is part of their BATNA), so explore this.

Have recommended before and recommend again the book 'Getting to Yes', and Harvard's very open research and sharing in this area: http://www.pon.harvard.edu/

Getting too serious? Not at all. Harvard's role-plays that can be purchased very cheaply ($1-3 per copy) are great teamwork activities.

They tend to focus on numerical amounts denominated in dollars, but these financial numbers can be easily substituted for time, number of people, anything that's a number. Practicing new concepts with things you're immediately familiar with tends to lead to remembered solutions. Instead save the comparison and application to the postmortem.

An Interview with Modernizr's Patrick Kettner
It handles the more complex (e.g. CJK) input methods. The alternative is a hidden text field and you have to put more effort into emulating the cursor (e.g. up arrow/down arrow). Regularly re-generating the underlying markup removes a large class of edge cases and cross-browser incompatibilities in exchange for not being able to use the browser's native undo. It's still a lot harder than you'd expect but it seems to be working for draft and prosemirror better than my attempt to normalize the cross browser differences and rely on the browser.

P.S. I also came into this thread to endorse Prosemirror.
Right, but that was the "Alternative" to the Top 50 Billboard stuff at the time (and also arguably 80 hair metal). Most pop was not guitar driven, and it wasn't until alt rock became mainstream in the mid 90s that guitars were featured again.
What about font rendering on linux, any better?

As of now, it's so horrible I can't use the product. Font rendering in Atom or Sublime is so much better.From what I understand this is because of their usage of java swing. But looking at fonts is what we do all day and I can't have them to look like shit.

>I'd guess that a similar 90+% of beginners quit the clarinet, violin, piano, drums, etc.

I blame this soley on how piano is taught. Instead of focusing on music and sound, music teachers try to teach note names, sitting posture, curving your hands ect. You are sent of with the impression that you'd need years of daily practice to be half decent. This is an immediate turn-off. I want to play music, not memorize ridiculous memory tricks like ' every good boy does fine' .

I would imagine most people are trying to make new music and play existing music. 99% of ppl are not trying to become professional pianist. Yet music teachers just teach how they have been taught, with endless instructions about keeping your back straigt, keeping the curve in your fingers ect. This makes one feel like they are not "cut out" for music and they give up .

We need a new crop of music teachers that can take advantage of new midi instruments, iphone apps ect to teach music. Piano should be introduced much later one you have grasped the how notes sound, how chords sound, why you need them ect on a simpler interface instead of endless repetitions of twinkle, twinkle from day one. Classical music should not be taught to a hobbyist. Instruction should be fun from day one, you should be making new music from day one. Endless learning of grammar doesn't make one a good author.

Globalization was great for Americans until they faced competition from other countries. It was fine when the global multinationals mercilessly destroyed local industries and benefited Americans but somehow became unfair when the tables are turned. Well guess what America and UK can build a big wall and keep themselves out , the rest of the world will continue trade and business among themselves. And while the economies of U.K. and USA goes into recession they better not think of colonizing the rest of the world like it was done in the 18th Century. Because now other countries are stronger militarily as well for they have already learnt their lesson.

Keep in mind that the wireless operators are also trying to monetize this sort of information.

The question for paranoids is if there is a pocket communicator with a physical radio switch and an information hiding protocol for authorizing access to the network (rather than using a fixed serial number like all the phone companies do).
Is there any way to have multi-language support?
It's being researched with great interest. Building models from text and images, describing internal structure and relations between objects, building rich prior knowledge about the world in order to do inference and guide behavior.

I see lots of papers that go in this direction, of creating a rich, semantic, predictive representation of images, video and text and then using it as the basis for reinforcement learning. Learning to understand the world and to act based on that understanding.
> Using programs in /bin to recover a failing system is a lost cause on Linux.

Agreed. If distros wanted to try and champion the cause for a statically linked subset of critical coreutils, they could still do it in the merged tree. The only thing the separation would facilitate would be separate mount points or physical devices.
> Apple shares rose 0.9 percent to $111.07 at 11:03 a.m. in New York Monday.

I wish business articles would cease the silly habit of quoting the stock price as if it has anything to do with the story. They're implying that the shares rose because Apple dropped wireless routers.

A 1% change in the stock price is completely normal and random day-to-day fluctuation for any large company. Even if it were a 5% change, you still couldn't say what caused it unless you went out and spoke to the buyers and sellers. It could be due to something completely unrelated like the whole market experiencing a rally or a sell off.

> For example, Elm, a language largely inspired by Haskell, doesn't have partial functions.

I may be wrong, but I don't think this is technically true. I don't think Elm has only total functions, but it does avoid a lot of common, error-prone partial functions (e.g. accessing elements from a collection).
This is correct interpretation, you can have stereo output but your instrument can handle only one note at the time.

There are plenty of modern synths that have "mono" or "solo" option. If you play two notes at once, the resulting tone will slide from first note to the second. This is obviously very useful for playing melodies and keyboard solos where polyphony is often not desired.

BTW there are ways to use multiple mono-synths as a poly-synth, depending on VST host.

The same logic that favours using an opening gambit that scares off all but the most unworldly of people works against using bots for the followup conversation. You don't want to finally find someone that genuinely believes that a random central African stranger might want to split $138,400,000 with them and has funds ready to send only for your bot to fail the Turing test by misunderstanding their question about how to pay the deposit.

Also, anyone smart and knowledgeable enough to be able to write bots capable of persuading exceptionally gullible people to part with their money is probably capable of moving to the next level and going after the slightly-less gullible, who are more numerous and richer.

It's also probably a bit flattering to the average scammer to assume the flaws in their patter are a deliberate filter pattern though. They're just as likely to open with a highly plausible (probably copied) offer of high value second hand goods on a listings website that probably attracts dozens or replies and then respond to each of those genuine expressions of interest from people willing and able to pay with badly-written response(s) that conflict with the detail of the original ad, not to mention totally forgetting that little old Scottish ladies don't have email addresses registered in the name of Nigerian men.
I'd guess the problem is that the daytime pictures allow for easy feature detection (tree, building etc) but the nightime pictures are washed out- We humans look at the daytime picture first, then say "that nighttime picture must have a tree there" which involves feature detection across both pictures (in the training phase)

I suspect a neural network better specialized for this task (i.e. that has the data interlaced for both day and nighttime during training) would have no problem feature detecting trees and leaving them unlit.
> a bit like walking by someone's office and noticing that they aren't there.

No, it's absolutely not like that. The use case for "not dropping messages" is that you send a message and know they received it. You don't have to remember it manually, you don't have to introduce another chat system just to asynchronously remember to resend messages later. The other guy can respond at their convenience. Dropping messages would make the application a critical failure for any serious business uses. There are lots of features to mute notifications per room or for time durations.

Yeah, I do, slightly.

A more noticeable thing is that if you select some text and then Bold / Italics / Underscore, etc. there is a flash where the text appears to be no selected and then becomes selected again.

Given this is React, my guess of what is going on is that the rich text is redrawn when these buttons are pressed (and perhaps even on each keystroke) and the selection has to be re-applied in code.

Perhaps they can improve this, but this is why I think it's important to stay away from high level frameworks for doing low-level things like text editing. Use your high level framework for application architecture and all that good stuff, but when something has to be fast, drop down to the lowest level you have.
I am sincerely not trying to be flippant, but can you just opt out then? I've set up a lot of Android phones, so I know that the entirety location services is explained with a clear opportunity to opt out at setup (plus, of course, you can always change your answer).

And in maps specifically, there is incredibly fine grained control over location history (controlled per device), you can retroactively delete location history individually or over entire time ranges. Plus you can control all of the individual notification types (e.g. disallow questions about your experience at restaurants you have visited).

Yes, of course. Is the common scenario in all old-school linux users and had saved me a lot of headaches. It simply works.

> Why recover a system like that when I can just boot off a USB stick?

Because I can. The basic parts of the system are still available and working. I don't need to reboot to fix the problem, I could mount a different and working /usr in seconds. Is not just "a hack", is a design.
The Aerial-to-Map example looks like this may be useful for automatic map/satellite rectification/georeferencing, but not sure how efficient it'd be if it has to compare against a large area.

The way to ensure that future isn't where we're going is to buy a phone from someone else. Sure, you can disable some of Google's tracking features, but they pretty much cripple your device if you do. (For instance, if you don't let them track you in the cloud, they won't even locally save your previously searched locations on the device, which is a pain.)

I tried to get along with a privacy-set Android for a while, but the reality is that Android is designed for one thing and one thing only: Data collection.
