I'm a big fan of PG and PG is good enough that it can compare favorably to MSSQL on its own merits, but that article reads more as a screed against commercial software than an objective assessment of PG's strengths relative to MSSQL. As an example, a big advantage of MSSQL for data analysis applications is its column store indexes which the author dismisses as something he doesn't use.

I'd rather a big, fast SSD than an Optane+HDD combo. An HDD in a laptop is just yuck. But Optane does seem to out-perform the top-end PCIe enterprise SSDs by a factor of 5-7x, at least judging by the benchmarks Intel has published against it's own top-end SSDs.

> But if this happens a lot, the consequence will be, that search warrants are issued without second thought and the person/company affected by the search should always deny it first.

I think you'll find the vast majority of search warrants aren't even read by the judge signing them. When I owned a (hosting) company it was blatantly obvious reading them, and we had a policy of challenging them when possible.

The whole search warrant/subpoena process is a joke. There is essentially no oversight on law enforcement whatsoever here and the whole trope of "but a judge reviewed it!" is a complete and utter outright lie in many cases.

I guess I'm not familiar with anything that sounds quite like it. It obviously does have some metal influence but also seems kinda jazzy and less aggressively sober--having more sparkly reverb-y parts. Her guitar has few traditional design elements and maybe that lends to the perception as well.

You might trust the current custodians of $BACKDOOR, but do you trust all future possible custodians that have dominion over that role? Keep in mind that nothing is technically restricting them to look only at possible murder.

That documentation is usually.... lacking

> You can't fit a filesystem parser into 1 sector and have anything other sensible in there

You don't use a single sector. You use a 2 stage bootloader that uses a reserved FAT sector. In FAT12 (at least) you can specifiy how many reserved secotrs on formatting. A reserved sector comes directly after the first sector. You can do a full FAT12 implementation in assembly in two sectors.

You're going to need to do a lot more reading. Even just looking up the interrupts you need is a task. I've found nothign that does a good job explaining the 1, 2, and 3s of how to get all the way to booting from a formated disk.
Emojis/emoticons shouldn't become a form of language, thats because they're meant to be something else closer to punctuation. They're really in-line annotation glyphs that add context, meaning and emotion to writing which enables clarity.

They can almost be thought of as parenthetical asides which are intended by the writer to aid the reader in understanding tone and emotion in a compact way.

For example, which form unambiguously conveys sarcasm the best?

"Oh, it's Sam, isn't that great!"

"Oh, it's Sam, isn't that great! (jerk)"

Now replace (jerk) with an appropriate glyph and we're at emojis.

What written language sorely lacks is a standardized update to the punctuation system we use. We're limited to single digit tone marks and a couple ways of modifying the text to try to convey a tremendous range of tones and emotions. We also need a system that does so without using cartoon characters. It's very hard to convey serious emotional tones with variations of a yellow smiley face.

Western musical notation has an entire series of annotation marks to inform style on top of the basic "sentence" structure of the notes. It seems that writing also could use something similar.
I think he's saying that you could potentially have the prioritized output without "HTTP2 know[ing] about progressive JPEGs". E.g. specifying "these layers are high priority" versus "the first n bytes of this stream are high priority": The first would be a layering violation, but I don't see any reason the second would be (not saying anything about its practicality). Now obviously the protocol would need to support the second (at least to use it in the context we're talking about), but I read the GP as using "API" figuratively enough to encompass this.
Perhaps. Both Norway and Finland have a population of a little more than 5 million, but Finland is at about 10GW, so a difference of double. Sweden at around 20MW net which is consistent with Finland pro-rata.

Did Norway just decide to do all-electric heating as vastly all electric power, as displayed here, comes from hydro?

Just idle curiosity.
USA Today has a few more details and got a statement from Amazon about it. Amazon refused to answer the requests.

Specifically, the Bentonville Police Department requested "electronic data in the form of audio recordings, transcribed records, or other text records related to communications and transactions between An AmazonEchoh device" located at Bates' residence and Amazon.com's services between Nov. 21 and 22, court documents show.

Amazon refused both times. In a statement to USA TODAY, Amazon said will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on it. Amazon objects to over broad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course, the company said.

Software should never be using -f with user emails, regardless if it's sanitized or not. -f sets the return path, which will trigger DMARC protection if the domain doesn't allow it. For example, the yahoo.com policy will reject all mail if you try to set the return path to the user's yahoo.com address using -f.

The best way I've found to send mail on behalf of someone else is to leave the return path (-f) and From header pointing to your own domain, and use the Reply-To header with the users email.
I've had smart TVs for a while, and wasn't a big fan because they tend to be slow and clunky.

But the Sony TV with Android that we bought last year has been amazing. Having everything built in (instead of a second box) has been great and simplifies some things.

The hardware clearly is faster, and the apps tend to be a lot better because they're generic Android apps, instead of one-offs produced just for that year's TVs.

I'm sure I'll eventually end up having to buy an external box to get all the new hotness for it, but until then, I'm really enjoying having it all in 1 piece. (Obviously I'll unplug it from the network when it comes to that, thanks to this story.)
They actually do. If you fill the space, it's much harder to crush the box, because you not only have to exert enough force to break down the cardboard but enough force to pop the air bags inside. The air bags especially add a lot of support in the very center, where the tape is actually taking most of the force. You can test this yourself. Get a couple of identical shipping boxes, fill one with air bags and the other with nothing, tape them up identically. Start stacking 10 pound weight plates on top and watch which one crushes first.

Paper will probably add less support unless it's really packed, but it will still add some.
Nice.

What countries do you block..?
IMO I wouldn't have gone simply because it's not the task of a company to hand hold POTUS. If Trump and company can't wrap their heads around how international trade works (especially for the likes of Apple) then they won't get it when Tim Cook or Jeff Bezos diagrams it out for them on a whiteboard either. The whole meeting between Trump and the CEOs in question was meant to give legitimacy to his opinions and not to the office which he's to occupy. Essentially, it's a big political hand job.

And frankly, giving Trump more ego boosting appeasement is the last thing that needs to happen. He needs to know that POTUS cannot and will not supersede the rights of citizens, their ventures in the market place, and that of their homes. If that takes a few public feuds between him, some senators, and maybe a CEO or two then I think it should happen. Because he's the kind of guy that can't deal with rejection and ridicule. He needs to be stung by the brambles of the real world. A little pain goes a long way to teach him his limits.

The main issue I have seen with SQL Server was a constant deadlock (every two weeks or so) over a table with high writes (peak at 800k per sec), which was annoying because the fail-back to the replica affected the DNS entries and meant 5-15min of outage.

But to be fair it was an example of the wrong tool used badly in the wrong situation deployed in a poor environment.

This guy's writing style is insufferable. Basically, 'let me introduce an abstract, technical concept, criticize the reader for not knowing it, and then not define it until halfway through the article'

I've read my share of socio-economic philosophizing, but did anyone else find this a slog to read through?
Thus you have a training dataset. Train a statistical model, and with enough programmability in your smart home it will be easy to forge a rather normal-looking pattern in your absence. And I'd probably use some special fire-proofed energy dissipation device instead of the more powerful real ones (e.g. the hob).

EDIT: the internet surfing patterns are another story. But you can probably VPN to your home through some newly-installed network interface and access the net as if you were there.

Yes, by the exact amount of current used, the logger can tell what you've got on at any moment. It can be correlated with water usage as well. It'll log how many times you flush, and whether you brush your teeth.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the government tries to require a device that logs all our conversations at home. It'll be sold as "crucial for law enforcement".

The Echo is a technological marvel. But who's to say Amazon doesn't get a "national security letter" one day where they're forced to send a patch to the machine to have it log everything?

Some day, if I'm bedridden or some such, I'd welcome an Echo in the house. Until then, I'd rather get up and turn a manual switch. I could use the exercise anyway :-)

It's very easy to run a report and get gross sales. It's not so easy to track profit. My margins are guesstimated from how much cash I have in the bank versus what I had a year ago, but I've made money in other ways so need to exclude that.

On a per product basis it's relatively easy, but the question is what the average is.

My philosophy is that if you know you're making money, it's not so important to track exactly how much. I'll probably need to adjust that when I file my first tax return next year, though (so not looking forward to it.)
Looking forward to the discussion on this. Can anybody help me understand his use of "rent seeker" or "rent seeking"?
To be pedantic, GPUs are no better than CPUs at multitasking. GPUs are best at performing one task on a moderately large set of floating-point data (SIMD).

The Tesla vehicles use cameras, ultrasonics and radar. So they are processing graphical data (a video stream) and signal data. That's exactly the kind of task that GPUs are good at.

However, this only gets you as far as perceiving the world. The vehicles also have to decide which action to take -- following the traffic laws of the jurisdiction they are in -- which is exactly the kind of branchy imperative task that CPUs are good at and GPUs are terrible at.
> are quite good at conveying certain emotions and empathy

I don't find this to be true at all. They are missing key elements that convey emotion such as tone and the nuances of facial expression that isn't captured in an icon.

Unlike actual true human facial expressions that we are trained to use and interpret as soon as we are born, emoji usage varies dramatically between people which further dilutes the intended meaning (why did that guy use four smileys in one paragraph? why did she not respond to my emoji?). There's so many ways to misinterpret them because not everyone is using them the same that they lose their chance to be an effective tool to communicate emotion.

The last time I tried one of these "work remotel" sites with an "io" tld, they ended up re-using my email address on other business ventures.

I never got any of those updates, instead got emails promoting some other website/startup that the same guy ran.

Can anyone recommend a good book/website about OpenCV that:

- is for a total noob in the field of computer vision/image recognition/...

- explains all (or most of) the algorithms etc. in OpenCV (they often have weird names, telling nothing to a noob)

- explains and explores inner workings (mechanism) of each algorithm, as well as their parameters, ideally with explanatory illustrations

- has code examples and example use cases (also illustrated)?

You might want to use MSSQL as a database and be able to sell your product to companies that do not have Windows servers around (and no staff with experience running them). And Microsoft wants to allow you to do that so you don't start building integrations with other databases to support those clients, and then those take MSSQL sales away.

And even in companies that have Windows MSSQL on Linux might be useful, e.g. if they have a linux-centric virtualization infrastructure.

I haven't uploaded a paper in a while (coauthors have been doing it more recently), but I'm pretty sure it encourages uploading document sources somewhere during the process.

I always strip out all the comments before submitting.
Taleb's style is generally... insufferable, but it's a good way to remind yourself that how nice someone's writing is isn't necessarily a sign of how good their ideas here. He takes great joy, for better or for worse, in pointing out critics who call him arrogant and pretentious rather than criticize his ideas.
One of the big topics and reasons given is the "problem of the commons". A ressource that is available to many will lead to the community's downfall since everybody takes as much as he can instead of as much as he needs, which leads to exploiting the ressource to its limits and beyond.

I would argue that the world is not THAT pessimistic. The thing is that most people are totally fine with "just a little more" than what they need. They don't want the max, they want a little more than the min. Only a few people will try to exploit the commons to their max.

But then why is it that the "problem of the commons" seems so reasonable? Why do we experience this self destructive path so often if only a few will over-exploit it?

I believe this is the case because A) the few over-exploiters will also fight each other which leads to (self-)destructive results, and B) stopping over-exploiters requires open communication (=everybody would need to admit his little exploits) and cooperation (=trusting each other).

As a result I believe that forcing open information and forcing cooperation by rules (e.g. by separation of power, by having some people getting paid to reveal the exploits of others) would save the whole system from over-exploiters and I believe there are areas were we already achieved that to a meaningful degrees (e.g. in democracies in comparison to dictatorships).
I really don't get this.

Why would emojis evolve into a form of language? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Which is why, imho, "developers should be made to pay off the neighbors who will be negatively impacted by the intensification" is better than the above plan. It would turn the ambivalent into YIMBY and leave NIMBYism to the fringe curmudgeons.

Yes. Gas heating is for the most part just not a thing in Norway. The cities don't have gas infrastructure (with some minor exceptions), so if you want to have gas heating you need to store it on your property. In addition, the government discourages it. The vast majority of home heating in Norway is electric.
