As someone who used to process accident claims for a large insurance company, I will suggest that if you spill hot water in your lap in a public place, you are probably not going to whip the clothing off right then and there to protect yourself from the burns. She is also elderly and elderly people have slower reflexes and can be more vulnerable to all kinds of health issues.

Sorry for being OT but do you mind explaining a bit what exactly does Genode do/is? I read about it in their web page but I'm not sure I understand the difference between "an OS" and "an OS framework".

It seems that they are trying to create an architecture with all components compartmentalized, but it says it can run Linux and Windows so I'm guessing it's virtualizing something at some point.

Also, they say they have a reference implementation of the architecture, so I guess the real work is defining that architecture and making an API compatible with what modern OS's do so later on they can jump on board and make it Genode compatible?

It sounds very interesting but it feels like I'm misunderstanding a lot and thus hitting a wall here due to lack of knowledge so any pointers are appreciated :)
Consolidation of power & government surveillance is horrible and there is no doubt about it. But it is something only people living in developed countries like US feel insecure about. In developing countries like India there are far more severe problems to tackle. Developing countries should first focus on eliminating corruption at the lower level. Imagine the suffering of people who have to pay 100 bucks to get a document from a government office. The pain & suffering from low level corruption is far more severe than feeling insecure about government snooping.
Good question. Human decisions might even be more difficult to explain fully, so I'm not sure if this regulation makes any sense.

It might in general be possible though to analyze what features where most important to a decision. How exact this needs to be is rather vague to me.
After ~30 years of thinking about it, I am beginning to suspect that some people (e.g. Dennett) don't know they are conscious.

Gurdjieff talked about the effort "to remember oneself." Is is possible that some people have never had these moments naturally? Or don't remember them?

It would explain why they abjure the "hard problem" if they literally don't know what it is, even as they talk about it like they do. (Human p-zombies, if I understand the term correctly.)

There is a big difference between the two.

Businesses / customers are not required to patronize certain establishments.

However establishments are prohibited by law from denying business to people they personally find objectionable.
Thanks! I was responding to the comment by saying that banning all cash wouldn't be necessarily good...but yeah the article does make it sound like all cash would be banned...
> This is not a move made by the Indian government to push surveillance or other nefarious purposes.

So why do you need ID when changing the notes? It looks like move to approximately sum up who had how much money in cash.
Let's just throw him over a bridge and be done with it.
What about web2py? Isn't it another good option?
To me it comes down to 2 things:

1) I don't fully understand the "significant legal impact" requirement, but intuitively "Applying for credit/insurance/school/job" is an area where you'd need to be transparent or open to contest. But which product to show based on your purchase history or what your friends liked on <social-site> wouldn't be subject to contest or transparency.

2) The requirements on the explanation are somewhat vague, and what exactly interpretability even is remains an open question. Does a layperson need to understand it or is an expert in the field sufficient? This will probably be iterated and supplemented after some interactions between 'Data Controllers' and the EU. The good news is that this has prompted a lot research on how to understand high dimension/feature models.

Why do they have to do both? One is simply to secure your voting process against any possible tampering. It is perfectly reasonable to refuse government services and a myriad of other things if one does not have proper documentation. I don't see any reason not to apply the same validation to voter-verification. If you don't do that properly, then you get identity theft and a myriad of other things such as disjoint and variable-quality national databases.

If it was me making these decisions: I'd verify each person against a national fingerprint and facial database before even letting them fill in the ballot form and only accepting their vote if the verification was positive.
Re:Invent
By the way. I should add that the conclusion of the PoC was that is was simple and doable within 3-5 years with rather low risks.
That is devilish.
The original source is dead, so I can't tell whether these points are addressed or not.

Yep, you'd probably need a connector with a positive mechanical clamping action rather than just a spring connector (as in a standard 3.5 mm jack or USB port), but that seems doable.

Also, there's no reason you couldn't play internal series/parallel (or transformer, or DC-DC converter) games to charge the thing up at a higher voltage (and thus lower amperage) while discharging it at normal phone operating voltage. Nothing says the charger has to operate at USB voltage levels. Heck, why not charge it at full line voltage? (it goes without saying that you'd need to engineer it so there's no way that full line voltage could possibly reach the phone internals).
You have a strange notion of what corruption is.

I honestly couldn't finish this. Who exactly is comparing today's startups to the manhattan project? Yes many projects are aiming for more ad clicks, but so what? In the 30's movies and radio were doing the same thing and what?

I don't think it works like that. Use a typical trace width calculator e.g.:

http://www.circuitcalculator.com/wordpress/2006/01/31/pcb-tr...

And you'll find that a 1.5mm wide, 1mm thick, trace can carry 18Amps. That's obviously pretty large for a PCB trace, but not untypical for a microUSB-like connector.

But... this is all assuming we're using caps at ~5v. Seems like you might want to use significantly higher voltages and buck converters to power the phone.
Russia tends to leave a massive trail of evidence when it rigs its own elections. It's just that Putin has enough of an iron grip on the Russian press and political system that it doesn't matter.
Same experience with me (California). I was -7 or so in both eyes and now am about -.25. I got it at least 12 years ago and the improvement and quality of life increase is far greater than the $3k or $4k I spent. Throwing my coke bottle glasses in the trash on the way out of surgery filled me with an immense emotional satisfaction that I couldn't have predicted. Just sitting up from the operating table and seeing faces and making out the design on the wallpaper put a huge smile on my face.
It's for income tax purposes; people attempt to bypass paying taxes by making transactions with "black money", i.e. cash.

By forcing people to exchange cash, they're forcing people to declare untaxed income, which will be taxed at a higher rate.
Then how do you catch people who deposit hoards of black money and get away without paying taxes? If banks don't ask for ID, then this whole exercise becomes pointless.

My Mum and sister both had Lasik here as well (again, no problems at all) and I couldn't recommend them more.
How I wish there were a 4G phone that could do what you describe. My OnePlus One has double that battery capacity (3100mAh) but I can really only make it last two days on that charge at maximum. Typically it needs to be recharged every day, or my usage habits need to change.

So 20000mAh accurately describes my average weekly cellphone power consumption... and if I changed my habits a bit, I'd still expect to require 10000mAh.

Please, if you know of a 4G phone that can last for more than two days, no matter how "dumb" it is (it could even be a flip phone, just as long as it can tether) I'd love to know about it.
HDFC is just one Indian bank...

Not sure why they would be a obstacle to a payment system.
"Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed and transmitted anywhere in the world in real time. When combined with mixed reality displays such as HoloLens, this technology allows users to see, hear, and interact with remote participants in 3D as if they are actually present in the same physical space."
They aren't banning cash...
With Clinton out of the way, fake news writers are going after Elon Musk
I don't see a problem with either one. It's apparently perfectly "fine" for parliament, but not for the general public? Don't a lot of people publicly register as members of a certain party anyways?
1: ₹500 , ₹1000 consists of 86 % of cash in circulation by value, that in effect almost a full ban.

2: Try getting that ₹2000 changed with any shop on street.

3. I have yet to see any of the ₹500 in any ATM in Bangalore, it still not well circulated

4. If anyone thinks ppl keep bulk of their ill gotten wealth in cash they are idiots, sure this affect few % of the wealth of rich corrupt people that was in cash, however it impacts the poor 100x more. I can't pay my maid's salary because I don't have the any kind of notes, while I can manage fine using cards, she doesn't even have a bank account, remember > 50% of India is not banked.
I'm currently using (and enjoying) my first Vue project. I have to say the camelcase support for JSX events feels like a step backwards. The `on-` prefix had a nice semantic way of telling you that thing is an event (either DOM or $emit from component). Now there's just this implicit `onFoo` which could be an event, or could be a prop, maybe component will invoke it directly like in React, maybe it will $emit, who knows?
Because they refuse to admit it's a Chinese hoax. For clearly political reasons.
This is true. I worked briefly on a startup idea to disrupt the payment services in India but gave up after the amount of red tape involved. In India banks want to control everything that is related to/about money. Banking is full of red-tape controlled by big banking houses in India. Company like Airtel & Vodafone couldn't push their mobile based payment systems for larger adoption. It is amazing to see how paytm got wider adoption and lobbied the bureaucracy and government to pave way for payment banks. But still the amount of investment that is required to get into payment services in India even as a payment bank is enormous. Startups in no way can compete with this without having VC's backing them right from the beginning.
Could you elaborate a little about DRF? I spent a day or so evaluating it among some other options for an API in a Django project, and it seemed to be a relatively poor player in the Django ecosystem and be quite complex for the same outcome compared to other libraries. It seemed like it would be ok for a DRF specific project, but in as a single part of a larger project it didn't seem to fit well. That said, I have very limited experience with it.
Facebook is a different beast than The NYT and Breitbart, and to a lesser extent Comedy Central. The later are creators of original content. Facebook is not.

I take a very dim view of saying that a creator of original content is censor by simply choosing not to create something. Censorship inherently is a veto over someone else's work. Facebook, because it is the middle man between the creator and the audience, is in a position to censor.
No, in general establishments can refuse service to anyone they please - imagine a consultant forced to engage with every client who asks!

There are certain protected classes of people you cannot discriminate against. I'm having a really hard time seeing how Breitbart could fit any of those definitions. You can totally refuse to serve customers acting in a way you find objectionable.
Not really, you still have to deal with loads of city regulations and a large infrastructure investment.

You also have other things the FCC controls. Like allocation of radio spectrum.

It's because they are selling digital items that have no intrinsic value. The likelihood that everyone will do this is low. Most people will just leave the sliders at their default values. And it's good marketing.
The functionality and behavior of ZangoDB was tailored specifically for porting a rather complex Mongo-based application to the browser. Syncing was not one of the requirements. However, I am currently working towards adding syncing support, and I am investigating developers' requirements. I will look into how PouchDB handles this. Thank you!
I don't like how the article tries to push statistics on the reader. If a CS paper compares a pair of averages, then that gives certain information. If statistics can add to that, and make the results a little more precise, then that is nice. But by no means is it absolutely necessary. And statistics will not give a conclusive result either.

I think that authors should use statistics when they see fit, and when it does not distract too much from the original subject of the paper.
If they bothered to crack a history book, of course, they'd come to understand that on a long-enough timeline, they're most likely to be shot by their own government, military, or police forces.

But of course, That Can't Happen Here, because We're Special. (How many times have you heard that schtick lately?)

After that, the person most likely to shoot you is a fellow criminal that you're either associated with or competing with, such as a rival gang member.

Then comes suicide and firearm-related accidents.

Everything else is just so much statistical noise.

Meanwhile, the American left's inexplicable insistence on gun control as a key platform element continues to cost them elections they otherwise could have won handily.
So this "transports" you from inside a moving vehicle to a conference anywhere in the world, assuming the conference is happening with participants wearing Hololens.

Shorting batteries is also never a great idea, but supercaps are more dangerous because of their low internal resistance.

This video is a good demonstration:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoWMF3VkI6U

I was working on a controls project where we had large banks of supercaps that would charge up to ~900v. Have to treat those with some respect. However as long as they are kept cool the caps had no trouble being charged and discharged with a couple minute cycle with each bank providing 2kWh of energy. In the particular application I was working on we actually had 17 2kWh banks providing ~34kWh of energy every couple minutes. Would not fit in a cellphone though :)
Much of medicine is like that. We (doctors) often don't understand exactly how treatments work. And even if we do, it's often that we found that something had an effect then try to explain how later. I don't see how it's any different if the AI pointed us in the direction of the treatment.
Oh interesting! Thanks for pointing that out.

Can we mine this for any more jokes - oops that's not a card game
I assume you were trying to reply to me. Yes that is the case because India does have a huge problem with people not paying taxes, taking bribes and other illegal activities. So this may be a necessary step taken to acheive that.

There are more clear cut cases of the Indian government trying to create a surveillance state. Trying to group this under the same category just creates unnecessary noise.
To make it even more obvious, we can left align the left/liberal posts, and right align the right/conservative news.

This seems like a strong case of false equivalence. The whole moving the overton window.

To me your statements sounds strangely familiar to "I'd rather be reading both Mein Kampf and stuff written by FDR, rather than be stuck in a left or right echo chamber".

Milo is a mysoginist provocateur who's trying to manipulate white males into believing that sexism and white supremacy are pretty good ideas. The fact that I even know this person makes me slightly vomit inside my mouth, and the way so many people listen and even respect his populism makes me pretty sad.
Unlike some people, I prefer to take the current state of facts at face value until further proof has been provided. Without proof, this is speculation at best and conspiracy chasing at worst.
Thanks for clarifying. It's still not clear to me that a website is a common carrier. Do you have a reference I can look at regarding the "no moral expectation…" argument?
Just to set the stage: India is highly polarized on this issue. A lot of discussions around govt policies right now end up in heated debates. Loosely speaking, liberals aren't very much in favour of the right-wing govt in power and often criticize every major policy announcement, not always based on merit.

The majority of working-class people in India are going through a phase of love and adulation for the ruling party and the Prime Minister, so any public opinion on social media against the establishment is met with intense opposition.

The news media aren't helping decipher the actual state of reality. Much like the US elections, Indian media fuels the polarized population with provocative news stories, and "alt-media" outlets publish opinions and fake news as facts. Many accuse major media houses of unfairly favouring the right-wing govt (much like Fox News in the US) due to connections of the govt with business houses that run them.

The demonetization move comes at a time when political parties are gearing up for elections in major states. From extravagant political rallies to feasts, a lot of aspects are funded by cash. Politicians have a history of hoarding cash for elections and "buying" votes from the poor. The demonetization issue was also promoted as a way to deal with a fake-currency printing industry allegedly being run in arch-rival Pakistan. This bodes well with the "Nationalism Wave" promoted in recent years.
Because they are not banning cash? Only replacing certain variants with newer denominations.
And how long until such businesses are made illegal?

How to start using VIM?
https://github.com/avelino/vim-bootstrap

Change text editor for programming is an extremely complicated task, especially if you've chosen an editor you need to configure it before you start using it, it happened to me in 2009 when I decided to use vim. From 2009 until today my setup of vim this constant modification to leave it with my face.

In 2014 after study hard vim I decided to start a project called "vim-bootstrap" which is a configuration generator vim (vim file), where he helps those who want to use vim, basically you select the programming languages will use it generates a configuration file of vim ready for you to use.
