That's a bad analogy.

Cooking is much less complex, so learning it without much background works rather well.

Just look what your philosophy brought us, a horde of 'developers' who thought JavaScript is jQuery.
those variances in mileage are no doubt very valuable to marketers.

Seriously though. This comment is very true. Cars are "technical" enough as it is (ie onboard computers that can make servicing/repairs more troublesome/expensive).

Why on earth would anyone want to compound that with "the cloud".
They aren't talking about a "dictatorship of the proletariat" taking ownership and control of all means of production, nothing like that at all.
I'd recommend setting up lambda/api gateway/cloudfront for a serverless application, there are lots of guides out there - you want to do something that will be relevant when you are done learning, not necessarily just something relevant now.

>In flies and worms heat stress (exposing them to a 30 min. heat chamber just one time) has been shown to boost lifespan by up to 15%.

Does that mean one can have the similar effects by sitting close to a heat source for half an hour some, without the full cost (or exact technique) of being into a sauna?
Looks fast enough for industrial application. Though I doubt there is much use for a "slightly narrower and several thousand times expensive" forklift. I mean sure there is, but I can't think of any.

Yeah, I have the same rule of thumb right now - if it's cloud-dependent, steer clear. Especially if the device should presumably be partially or fully functional off-line, but isn't, because "cloud powah!" (in reality, because of the shitty business model that's basically "Hardware as a Service" + possibly data selling).

> The device certainly doesn't look like it cost anywhere near $199 to manufacture.

I can imagine it costing that much in very small batches, if it uses somewhat decent sensors. I can imagine $199 would be the cost of making a somewhat decent DIY version. I couldn't find any teardown though, and I'm pretty interested what sensors are they using, and if they're any better than the usual crap installed in fitness devices.
>How does that pair with longevity in practice?

It doesn't. It pairs with shock proteins.
Chromebooks provide access to the underlying Linux distribution, after doing a magic incantation that the common user doesn't have any idea about.

For the non geek audience, it is a browser based OS. Google could base it in something else, and none of them would notice it.
Seeking in advance the idea that is right (or left) on the political spectrum is a bad approach, and anyway gets you nowhere in the face of an issue like basic income where heroes of the right and of the left disagree adamantly amongst themselves. If Friedman isn't "right" enough for you, how's Thomas Paine? See his pamphlet entitled "Agrarian Justice". Point is: there is no correct "right" or "left" or "capitalist" or "socialist" position on this issue. Opposing it simply because it constitutes a wealth transfer ignores that fact that every society - including America - transfers wealth already in many ways, and a cash payment could conceivably make less efficient (and paternalistic) forms of in-kind wealth transfers unnecessary. More fundamentally, I think you are defining "capitalism" and "right" idiosyncratically, among other issues.
The article does a wonderful job in hiding its actual point, probably because the point is very inane - the semi-serious playful "hacker ethic" must go and be replaced by a moral imperative in the form of a list of questions.

What sort of things could/can VMS do that Unix couldn't? I know almost nothing about computer history.
Many of those products - such as Zano - are too good to be true. People buy them because they promise features or a price-point that doesn't currently exist. Sometimes that works out, and the campaign delivers on its marketing promises. And sometimes, well, you get a Zano. If you're lucky.
Fine, housing and roads. I'm still wondering which country the OP lives in where both housing and infrastructure are so dense that "when someone buys a big house, someone else must have a smaller house."
You are advocating partial basic income, not universal basic income.

Your argument has a place, but it's tangential to my point.
I think one of the cases is when there aren't any equivalent products available from "established vendors". It sometimes makes great sense (e.g. Pebble, their recent shutdown notwithstanding). But to be honest, when I browse tech section on Kickstarter, 90% of products there scream "pointless" or "bullshit".
And this comment is a prime example of what's wrong with internet comments on scientific research.

Usually all the basic concerns have been accounted for in the actual study.

Whether an article in the mainstream press conveys that or not, is not important, since the article is just supposed to give a summary of the findings.

It's seldom an issue of "those stupid PhDs and experts in their field, they didn't think of a confounder a random internet person can come up with in 5 seconds".

Whoever wants to delve in can read the actual reports.

And whoever wants to start the same practice (e.g. sauna here) would be foolish to do it based on one article anyway, they should consult with their doctor, and/or wait until a fuller consensus has been reached after several meta-studies (which can take decades).
Pretty sure pytz will hand you the appropriate timezone for a given date. There aren't version numbers after all but it can do the right thing based on when you say it is.

There is some weird behaviour due to this when trying to get a timezone without an associated date as it doesn't default to now.

Then again you probably have all sorts of DST bugs if you have places in your code that do that.

> And that is why your cell phone runs Unix and not VMS.

While this is unquestioningly accepted by the software and at large communities, for some reason "low-end manufacturing" in the US and the rest of the developed world is exempt from this logic. Somehow, we'll dispense with this pesky manufacturing economic sector, and when someone wants a "real" high-end manufactured system/product, they will end up purchasing it from these same developed world economies. We're VMS'ing ourselves to our detriment, and the developing nations are laughing all the way to the bank.

There is so much embedded knowledge that I've seen played out over and over again in different economic sectors in my paths consulting across different industries that I no longer buy this line of argument. Anyone who believes this must first prove to the disinterested observer/reader that the "low-end" they say is no longer needed is hermetically packaged to automation levels with no loss of institutional knowledge on all fronts of quality, step-wise improvements leading to innovations, environmental impact, etc.,..., in which case, we should simply automate it ourselves and retain the embedded wealth represented in that knowledge.

Pendulum is the best of these libraries imho. A couple of rough edges API wise but mostly great and the best feature is the fact that pendulum objects are actual stdlib datetime instances too and so can be used interchangably with code that expects stdlib datetimes.

No, the eco-system hardly changed and it just increases the development effort by forcing developers to move out of the Android Studio workflow and being slower than pure Java.
I am not so sure if your example is of the same level. My questions were more at how can you "anchor" the bible.

Broadly speaking, I think people can be somewhere on the following line:

1. The bible is the perfect word of the creator

2. The bible is inspired by a god

3. The bible is bronze/iron age people writing down their myths and beliefs.

But let me know how you think, I would guess you are somewhere between 1 or 2, but perhaps you would want to word it differently?

When the bible talks about a soul, heaven, hell, judgement, angels, demons. How can we know that that is reliable? The only parts of the bible we can test for reliability is when it talks about things in our reality. But where it does, it shows a very naive view of reality. How then can we conclude its view of the spiritual world is any better?

I think (some of) the main reasons are:

- there is no standard cross-platform build system and directory structure for C/C++ projects, a dependency manager either needs to be super-flexible and enable to combine projects with completely different build systems (which is impossible I guess?), or come with its own build system and enforce a directory structure (like Rusts cargo)

- complex C++ projects are not very compatible with each other since they use different subsets of the C++ language and the standard library, this makes it often hard or impossible to integrate external C++ code

This is why header-only, or single header/source pair C or (simple) C++ projects make so much sense, they are often trivial to integrate with your own code.

However, there are some movements into the right direction, cmake seems to establish itself as the standard build system, and there's also https://www.conan.io/

It would be better though if the C++ Standard Committee would get their act together and instead of stuffing more and more useless crap into the C++ standard, use the time and resources to establish a dependency manager standard (along with a proper module system), and let the language users move all the 'useless crap' there.

If I spent the majority of my time cultivating a self-deprecating sarcastic humor around my colleagues, I think some teasing would definitely be in order. What that guy did was stupid and selfish: if you claim the limelight, then you better fucking own it.

Spending money on anything doesn't mean you are rich. If you have average wealth and earning average income, saving for Tesla means years. At which point it sounds like a poor decision, tho that is not the point.

> From the beginning of the campaign, this was an investigational device that was part of a study which has now reached its endpoint with data collection for the study ending in November 2016,” a Scanadu spokesperson told TechCrunch. “FDA regulations require that all investigational studies be brought to closure and their respective devices be deactivated. As a result, we will deactivate the Scanadu Scout® devices by May 15, 2017.

I'd guess it's considered a safety measure - even if it's something innocuous-seeming, any 'medical device' could end up with peoples' lives depending on it. It's better for it to stop working entirely than to appear to keep working if it's not reliable.
seriously, WTF is wrong with US and their attitude towards India/Pakistan. India is democracy, never attacked anybody out of blue from 1947 when it was created (unlike its neighbors Pakistan and China who attacked it numerous times).

Yet US sides with dictatorship which doesn't even control its own secret service which creates its own terrorist organizations (laskar-e-taeba).
This only applies to battery-powered GPS devices. Navigation systems on boats or aeroplanes can afford the higher power consumption and hence use multiple systems simultaneously. Additionally, even battery-powered systems can use multiple systems for a short period at first to get a faster lock, then fall-back to one to lower power consumption.
>"Progressive disclosure of complexity" works when you are learning a language and writing code, because you choose what language features you use. But it doesn't work when you read code written by someone else.

So? Most app developers are small or one-person shops, and don't "read code written by someone else".

> and the diagram looks plausible

I've seen this and similar diagrams used over and over again by a lot of people who should now better. This kind of diagram can be interpreted two ways

(a) the diagram maker has no idea how sampling works
(b) the diagram maker made it to illustrate a pathological case to make quantization noise obvious, that is, the diagram shows fs=infty with a four level / two bit ADC with no dithering

In any case, it has nothing to do with how digitizing audio works.

> It is true that the amplitude dimension (only) is quantized to (typically, 16 or 24) bits, which you could detect with a very good oscilloscope.

Nope, normal scopes work with 8 bits ADCs and manage 10 to 12 bits in ERES and similar modes (... they don't really get to 10 or 12 bit SFDR though ...). Some special scopes have 16 bit ADCs, but you'd still be hard pressed to detect the difference.

Also, while again a "counterintuitive result" in a certain sense, the dynamic range of a 16 bit audio signal is greater than 96 dB, that is you can encode and actually discern noises below -96 dbFS. This is because the 96 dB figure assumes a white dithering signal, which is not used.

Of course, all that doesn't really matter with pop music. Who needs >100 dB SNR and DNR if the piece you are encoding only has 10 dB DNR anyway?!
Highly recommend spending at least a few hours on https://javascript30.com if you get a chance.
>a cash payment could conceivably make less efficient (and paternalistic) forms of in-kind wealth transfers unnecessary

Nobody said that this new form of wealth transfer will replace existing forms of wealth transfer. The goal here is that it would run in tandem with existing forms of redistribution. It is a delusion that it will ever be enough. Once UBI is in place, other forms of egalitarianism will soon follow until communism is attained. These initiatives are but like a hammer seeking to equalise all the nails on a given piece of wood.

>America - transfers wealth already in many ways

I'm both well aware and firmly opposed to all forms of wealth transfer (inflation, welfare programs, excessive taxation et al). It is beyond atrocious and I couldn't speak less favourably of it.

"The Alchemist" - Paulo Coelho
Really guys?

I kind of want this to be true, but I will bet you anything it's fake.

Firstly, the source. The only references to a "Korea Future Technology" I can find lead back to this guy's Instagram account. Vitaly Bulgarov is a professional 3D graphics artist who specialises in, amongst other things, very realistic looking mech warriors.

His website makes a series of improbable claims, including that he worked for Boston Dynamics as a "conceptual and industrial designer". But in 2015 he posted a picture to his Instagram about him visiting Boston Dynamics. There is no evidence anywhere that he ever worked for them - if he did anything for them at all he'd have done some contract VFX work.

Secondly, why would a company making a project that can only have military funding allow videos to be released on some random dudes Facebook page, why wouldn't they announce as a big splash to get the company the credit?

Thirdly, in one picture there's a set of "carbon fibre legs waiting to be tested", which show no motors or metal pieces. In the other photos the legs are made of metal. Which is it?

Finally, the continuity glitches. Watch the door carefully in this video

https://youtu.be/Re6P7WP2N5w?t=28s

It's to the right of the robot. At the 29 second mark it suddenly goes from closed to open in the space of a single frame - the video backdrop is composited from multiple shots, but the robot isn't.

This is a very talented graphics artist screwing with people.
Is there no charge for municipal facilities?

It's amazing if Finland has solved poverty to the level that every household can afford to set aside the space for a sauna and costs of running it.

In the UK heat poverty is a widespread problem due to the costs of heating fuels. Presumably saunas are being run from geothermal sources to make it cheap enough??

I'm assuming saunas are cupboard sized, is that accurate or are all these homes dedicating a full room of space?
I wouldn't quite call 24$ per hour a "small fee" for parking. If you're in a restaurant for two hours after you've charged that's nearly fifty bucks just for parking.
