Could someone explain what a neuromorphic chip is?

The article assumes we know, but I haven't heard of it. And the wikipedia article on "neuromorphic engineering" talks about stuff like analog circuits, copying how neurons work, and memristors, none of which seem that related.
I think that's right, but in part because it's all gibberish people with wildly different values can hear him speak and still and hear what they want to hear.
Well, most of the satellites will want to be in about the same orbit - the fairly common sun-synchronous orbit, that passes over the same spot on earth every day. They probably want to spread the satellites out over the orbit, though.

I'm not sure if randomness would be enough to do this, but if not, they could probably control things a little bit, at least for the Dove satellites (88 of them). Since the Dove satellites can point themselves to take pictures, my guess is that they can also choose to point themselves either perpendicular or parallel to the orbital direction. Since there's a little bit of atmosphere left up there, over time that should be enough to intentionally spread the satellites out.

This is just a guess, but I know similar techniques have been used in the past on satellites that were out of fuel - for example, Skylab.

Let's slap a great big IANAL on this before I start:

The fair use decision was wrong. It relied on a fundamental misunderstanding of the term transformative where the use of the code was considered rather than merely the implementation. So Oracle has a huge case here.

Moreover, practically it doesn't matter. Even if fair use is established in this case, the door has been left wide open to hordes of API copyright trolls. If you thought patent trolls were bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

If you care about the economy, the only sensible outcome would be that API surfaces aren't subject to copyright. Sadly the horse has bolted a long time ago.
PP froze my account. (concentrated buyer exposure) They asked me what im selling, i said i offer software services , they asked what is the product , what do i deliver, i said i deliver code , they asked for the service agreement, i said well you'd have to ask the buyer that. They asked me to send them the last 4 invoices , i did. long story short , It was PITA to refund my bread , getting paid with STRIPE is better now. WHAT a damn hassle! I got the buyer on the phone W/ PP.PP said to me only thing i can do i is refund the last 4 invoices and get paid outside PP. Buyer said there is NO issue at all we are very happy with seller services. PP said to buyer: "nothing you did or can do". PP said to " they'd hold my bread for 180 days" then said hold for 90 days OR i can refund the 4 invoices , each time i called i spoke to someone different, they said it was their system, not my fault or the buyer , buyer made no claims at all.. Luckily, the buyer was cool enough to help me. I had to call PP each time todo a refund. Lift HOLD, refund, with then on the phone, repeat. What a damn HASSLE! i set up stripe the next day and its all good to go now! good lucky with PP. they can hold your shit without informing you and you can't do jack shit. And i had people to pay! I am kinda pissed but happy i got paid all my invoices. Does this mean i can't write a blog post about what happ to me? maybe this type of shit is normal with PP.
You get classified as "regretted" or "non-regretted" attrition. If you're "regretted", you can come back anytime within I think 2 years without interviewing, or with favorable interview afterwards. If you're "non-regretted", it can become very difficult to come back unless you have a really strong recommendation from some other manager within Google, or come in through a company they acquire. They already have data on your job performance that's a lot more reliable than an interview, and if it's negative, it'll take a lot to overcome that.
There are exactly two things I dislike about openbsd.

One is the past behavior of one developer who claimed to reverse engineer code that obviously wasn't.

The other is a mistake made in 2003, to which they've still not owned up.

You don't silently patch security issues, especially when they are discovered and fixed by someone outside the project.

Other than these, I have nothing but admiration for the project and it's developers.
What annoys me about Facebook is that:

* Production appear to be the only QA they do

* Most of the time _something_ doesn't work... then you come back and it suddenly works, then it's broken again

* The news feed is non-deterministic. You can refresh and see something completely different

* Features [like the one in question] are always "opt-out" or "on by default". The attitude is "force the user to use the new feature" rather than improving it until people _actually want_ to use it

I'm glad to see them get into hot water on that last point. I see this user-hostile "we know better than you" authoritarian attitude taking over quite a few tech companies.
If a satellite has its own maneuvering capabilities, it can change its orbit (somewhat). These are mostly nanosats and cannot do that, so they'll stay in closely-related orbits. Spring-loaded separation from the launch vehicle will give them some difference, which will be magnified over time.

Some rideshare launches have multiple burns of the upper stage to put payloads in different orbits. The PSLV can do that, though I don't know if this one will.
For comparison, NASA is about 0.5% of the US budget. At the height of spending on Apollo in 1966, it was 4.4%.

I'm amazed people will still use Paypal. The horror stories about it are legion online; I had my own, many years ago, when I did some editing work for someone who then disputed the charge on their credit card. Paypal then retroactively decided that I had a negative balance on my account!

At the time I was young and stupid and idealistic and principled enough to waste a lot of time suing Paypal and the collections agency in small claims court (suing anyone in small claims court can be a pretty bad idea, even if you are technically in the right: https://jakeseliger.com/2010/08/28/dont-rent-an-apartment-fr... , if your time and attention are worth anything). Still, I did definitely, definitively learn that you cannot trust and should not use Paypal.
AppleWin is an Apple II emulator for Windows which is cycle accurate. Recently, they added a better TV mode using Sheldon Simm's code.

I think it would take at least a half hour, unless you have directory traversal, file I/O, and regex APIs memorized which most people don't. That's "trivial" in the grand scheme of things but it's really not practical to do day-in and day-out every time some random scripting necessity arises.

And you presumably have to clutter up your filesystem with random project files, etc, which is annoying. Are you going to have 1000 of these, one for every time you need to do some sort of minor task like this?

That command, on the other hand, took me 2 or 3 minutes to write, and I had to look up the syntax for `mktemp`. If I had remembered the mktemp syntax it would have taken a few seconds.
Sadly, there's one small time-slice of games that the Internet Archive Software Library doesn't cover: games for Windows 95/98 that were 16-bit code, but also used 32-bit Windows APIs. Slightly too old for modern Windows to support; slightly too new for DOSBox to manage to run. :/

Some of these are sold on GOG, but the rest have faded into the kind of complete availability-oblivion that the IA is supposed to prevent—they're not available as torrents, you can't find them on eBay, etc.

Abuse and harassment on Wikipedia does not belong to a handful of editors, it's endemic, because the only way to succeed on Wikipedia is to be an asshole. But it's important to note that bad behaviour on Wikipedia is a symptom of poor software design. The software that Wikipedia is built encourages conflict, and uses hundreds of rules combined with poorly-trained admins to try to patch things up. The boundaries between conflict and abuse are wide, arbitrarily defined, and patrolled by people who have neither training, nor consistency. A better designed system would install systems to minimize conflict, and would give clearer rules and standards to it's moderators.

Nothing like the fiasco you're describing.

You still haven't answered the question though; do you submit corrections?
>Why haven't you tried to address those inaccuracies?

Trying to edit wikipedia is a hellish experience. The vast majority of articles have one or more de facto owners who will do everything they can to preserve control over their turf. They tend to be experts in rules laywering which is how they got their power in the first place. So "addressing inaccuracies" typically involves 5 minutes of editing and a month-long war afterwards.

And that doesn't even begin to address that wikipedia's rules are insane to begin with. Just the rules covering acceptable usernames are almost 4000 words long (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy).
> The usual case as near as I can tell is something like:

Based on this I'm not sure you have edited yourself, despite retorting the parent. First off articles don't have guardians; [0] just because someone disagreed with you, it doesn't mean they disagree with everyone or on every article, you're making a huge generalization. Second, I'm not sure why you see talk page discussion as a bad thing; when two parties disagree on something, they usually discuss and try to reach a consensus. [1] Do you believe you're above that or something?

> Someone else tries making a modification, which again is immediately reverted.

This is called edit warring [2] and shouldn't be done. You shouldn't just try to force your revision in after it has been disagreed with.

All you're doing in your comment is painting up some illusory image to discourage someone from trying to engage the system themselves. How about you let them edit and see for themselves if what you said is true? Based on my experience Wikipedia isn't anything like that at all, in fact most articles aren't watched enough for anyone to care how you tweak them.

I recently visited the bay area and mountains + ocean is a pretty great combo I have to admit. The traffic was a bit much for me though. Boulder population is ~100,000 which ends up being the perfect size for me.
Triangulation. Take in news sources from opposite sides of the political (scientific etc) spectrum and take them all in in equal size/depth. They'll repeat their own message to make you believe you are "on the right side of the issue" but with triangulation both brainwashing attempts cancel out.
BB cosmology is impressive, but at the same time problems with it have always been there and still are. Inflation is a framework which requires ever more finely tuned conditions to function, which frankly undermines the whole point of the conjecture in the first place. Instead of absurdly fine-tuned initial conditions, now you have absurdly fine-tuned energy curves for the infalton. Instead of a horizon and flatness problem you have... well you still kind of have those unless you adopt the unlikely potential energy plots for the inflaton.

It's not a coincidence that other ideas ranging from MWI to Cyclic Ekpryotic are so persistent. It's an interesting and stimulating field of study and theoretical work, but it's still so far from anything we can test that it's sort just philosophy with some math.

Take string theory, amazing tools for analyzing matters, but as a testable theory which actually maps reality? Eh...
What's a better system? About the time that Marx was formulating his ideas on society and markets, the US was just about finishing up several decades of government businesses that kept losing money against free market ran businesses even though they had the weight of the US treasury behind them. I doubt anyone would disagree that the reason the government businesses failed was that they were not sensitive to market signals and kept investing people's labor poorly.

I'm not sure that's a Wikipedia problem, as opposed to a general sources problem. Wikipedia at least often shows proponents and critics of a given idea, while the average source just presents its own position and doesn't provide any sort of context. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "legitimate source", I don't think I've ever seen one. Often an old book has more bias and inaccuracies in it than a blog post. I recall reading a discussion on how The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire is no longer perceived as accurate, and few people will call that an illegitimate source. Information is hard.

All Wikipedia does half the time is reference such sources, so it's about as biased as the sources are, except it tends to combine them, and there's nothing forcing it to do so in a way that represents the true balance. That's up to the content editors. The only thing I can suggest is, if you see a problem, try to correct it.

Also, pretty much every page these days has a warning on it.

Wikipedia is great for basic coverage of a fairly broad range of topics, such as physics, psychology, linguistics, religion, biology, computer science, etc. As long as you're sticking to information that's mostly perceived as fact, as opposed to opinion. I have yet to find a source that rivals Wikipedia in this regard. Wikipedia had a huge, huge influence on information transfer for many people, I think we forgot how big of a deal it is because it's been around for so long. It's absolutely invaluable to many people.

I don't believe it's Wikipedia's job to identify answers to opinionated stances, so don't expect it to be "accurate" on things like controversial history, politics, design, etc. Those things are usually not covered accurately by anyone.
I completely agree, but I don't really know what to do about it. Surely a document describing a useful software interface (GUI, CLI, API) is a creative work and takes effort to produce. Unless we just agree that it's a necessary exception for the purposes of interoperbility I'm not sure how I would argue that it shouldn't fall under copyright protection.

The dystopia we're getting is the one where most of the population can't generate enough wealth to justify their continued existence. Those are the people who voted for Trump. This is close to the Huxley model, but the 1960s writers who foresaw this future assumed it would come with a heavy dose of welfare. In many countries, it didn't. Think of this as the favela model. The poor are not exploited, merely irrelevant.

I recently tried to use this kind of system to pipe news from facebook pages into an RSS feed. Impossible. Facebook hand-picks which developers get API access, and only allows ultra-restricted usage, so for example there's no way they would allow API access for a generic Beehive user, even just for reading public posts.

Want to scrape data from the HTML? They aggressively detect anything that may or may not be automated, and give you a CAPTCHA.

I see it as yet another abuse of their monopoly position. So many artists post public updates exclusively to this platform, and this is exploited to make sure everyone stays locked in and is forced to use facebook directly, ads included. Even the slightest competition would make it obvious how ridiculous this is, but the current monopoly is self-perpetuating.
Buddhist sermons are an excellent example for that.
Oracle's CEO is on his transition team, and Oracle is one of the few big tech companies to not publicly support the legal challenge to the travel ban.
I think it is because debt collection calls are regulated by a different law (the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act).
That explains a lot about their recent behavior, e.g. dropping Solaris. If everyone is consuming their software over a network, it doesn't matter precisely what it's running on any more (so even if Oracle DBs could scale better on Solaris than on Linux or a BSD, a 1.3x SaaS shared-cluster size costs less than an OS development team.)
FreeBSD is our upstream, and we donate quite a bit there.

1. To transfer information across the border, create an encrypted volume, store it on a cloud provider, and download it when you return. Unfortunately, it's more complicated to do this than it should be, so people hoping to do it need individualized instruction. Also, particularly for refugees, there are legal implications to doing this. Ultimately, the simplest recommendation is: don't bring information across the border at all. Go without.

2. Because Chrome is significantly more secure than Firefox. See: rest of thread.

3. Because no email provider is truly safe, and Google's mail service is better defended than virtually any other mail provider. Things like Protonmail are security gimmicks. If you're concerned enough about messaging safety to use some idiosyncratic email provider, you're concerned enough to stop using email for secrets altogether: use Signal, WhatsApp, or Wire.

4. Because a Chromebook is safer for a typical user than Linux, and also because there's a (remote) chance that people might actually use a Chromebook. The security challenges of 2017 are not an opportunity to finally achieve Linux On The Desktop.

5. The list's most contentious recommendation is a rebuke to Google.

I know there is a combination of logic, cron, a MQ and a db to hold the flow. But I am unsure on how best to approach the development of this framework.

Probably if someone is passing by and you've built something like this. I'd love your input as I'm a bit unsure how to proceed.
