> What about maintenance costs? Those are dependent partly on the level of use a road experiences.

Maintenance costs are dominated by weather.

Typically this argument is the last refuge of someone who wants tolls because they hate cars (or are a company that collects tolls), because it's technically true but practically ridiculous. It has the same basis as claiming we should charge tolls to pedestrians for the damage they do to the sidewalk with their boots.

In some hypothetical world where the transaction costs and privacy costs and other overhead didn't exist it's technically true that you might want to charge someone the 3/8ths of a cent worth of additional maintenance they cause, but in practice those costs do exist and you end up paying a dollar to collect a penny.

I don't agree at all. Of course you want to be able to do things precisely but if that's the only way you can do things then your system is too fragile.

There are times when it's very important to distinguish between 0.999998 and 1, and times when it's very important to treat the difference as negligible.

Have you ever played with an analog computer? I think you'll find it interesting. Modular synthesizers are essentially lego for analog computation, and you can find completely analog sequencers and so on. It takes some time to get the hang of this, but learning to build self-sustaining chaotic attractors is both enjoyable and interesting. The demo version of teh software here will get you started if you are not near a place with a decent music store: http://www.nordkeyboards.com/downloads/legacy/nord-modular-g...

Your brain is not a perfectly precise or reliable organ, but it's taken you this far.
In this context some HTTP responses are static. The static part of the website.

But the React app can also start consuming all kinds of webservice.

This way (1) a large part of content can be served as prerendered static HTTP responses (HTML, CSS, JS). (2) Static content not initially loaded can be served as JSON (as seen in the presentation). And (3) dynamic content (e.g. real time comments or a chat) can be non-static (one or more webservices, possibly on WebSocket thereby going beyond HTTP).

I think this may be very interesting when "big mostly static content", "need for modern web tech" and "big traffic" meet.
I have smoothing groups enabled in Blender's FBX export settings, so they should be there. I can't find a way to tell if they've been imported correctly from within UE4. The model is here, if you're willing to take a look at it: https://www.spinda.net/files/number6.fbx

I switched from Temporal AA to FXAA because it interacted oddly with the changing Static Mesh. When it switched from one number mesh to the other, the new one would jitter and sort of dissolve in until it settled out. I have another object with a texture that rapidly changes, cycling through a set, and Temporal AA causes ugly artifacting there which settles out once the texture stops changing. (This happens both with texture streaming on and off.)

But with crizmas-mvc there's no multi way data binding, or at least not from the view to the model. The controller can set some state on itself as a reaction to UI events, but only to provide feedback to the UI (for instance you may want to disable a menu when a button is clicked). The domain data is always in the model and the view is not allowed to touch it, but only to render it.

It's not just the surveillance state that's been getting a pass -- it's also the near-total failure of the legislature to legislate and the accompanying increase in rule by executive order. I was critical of this at the time, even when I agreed with the policies, like DACA. It's no way to run a country.
I generally like Ubuntu, but it has its share of problems. For example, they will prefer to keep a package broken than fix it if fixing it means a version bump. This can be really frustrating for long term releases where things are broken in really obvious ways. An example includes gmplayer core dumps instantly in Ubuntu 14, with a known issue that requires the user to either hand tweak some files or just not use it. zsh users get no manual pages due to a slight flaw in the package, which won't be fixed.

Some other things are made much harder than they need to be. Back in the old days making a network bootable image involved compiling a custom kernel and setting up a DHCP server and NFS. These days it seems to require a flock of chickens to sacrifice. Hint: you need to pass a boot option that is entirely undocumented, except for down on page 15 of a discussion topic somewhere on the internet. The README is wrong/obsolete.

Other annoyances come from the system trying to be "smart", like when you try to dump a bootable image on a USB stick with dd, only to have the operation killed shortly after start because the OS detected a new bootable image on the stick and tried to mount it partway through the write, changing out the file descriptors from under DD.

Or when you're trying to diagnose a network problem by upping an interface and putting an IP on it, only to have NetworkManager go LOLNOPE and kick you straight in the balls.

Or when the system fails to boot because some message wasn't passed from some startup script somewhere and good luck tracking that down. That's nearly impossible to debug.

Heaven forbid you select the nVidia binary blob driver for your video card and then let Ubuntu install a new kernel. Ironically the only time the kernel upgrade goes smoothly is when I tell Ubuntu to leave it alone and install the driver directly from nVidia. This is extra fun when Ubuntu is deciding to upgrade the kernel twice a week. Even more fun when you've let it partition the disk for you and it creates a 256MB boot partition that fills up after 3 kernels.

Overall Ubuntu is easier to use than the old systems, but when it breaks it takes 10 times longer to fix it.
under normal circumstances, absolutely, but considering the number of lawsuits they are battling, that war-chest could dwindle rapidly.
Makes sense. Good summary. I've heard it mentioned as "don't be a jerk", "don't first assume when others act like jerks they always meant to". The last part, avoids quick escalations of misunderstandings.

Interestingly just last year I remember someone posted the syllabus to the Advanced Database Systems: http://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2017/ (latest version). Really good stuff there.

But one thing I noticed there was plenty of red triangles. Apparently those are trigger warnings. So I opened some of those papers, for example: http://15721.courses.cs.cmu.edu/spring2017/papers/04-occ/tu-... , expecting to see some horrible things, but I couldn't see what would be triggering there. There are transaction ids, commit phases, reads, writes, B+trees ...

So given that it is coming from same school, shouldn't the same "reasonable-ness" apply. Is it reasonable to sprinkle trigger warnings onto distributed database readings? I understand history, psychology, anthropology, literature, art might have disturbing contexts, but computer science?
Well, FWIW as well I tried exactly that as well and it was like it could barely follow what I did (rhythm was off) and then it went in other directions that were not pleasing to the ear. Nor made much of any sense musically. So, again, it's like a cat or child was mimicking my motions just enough to make me dislike the result.
If they truly have only $200M cash on hand, no revenue, 220 employees, and nothing set aside for liabilities, then they aren't on life support they are already dead.

Leases on their existing buildings, salary and benefits for 220, capital costs for their 'mini lab', and legal fees to defend their current lawsuit load? The Walgreen's suit alone is asking $140M.

I can't imagine any bank, VC, or even hedge fund going near this. Theranos has to successfully defend all of their lawsuits, execute perfectly on their minilab, and develop enough credibility to actually bring their ideas to market. Any one of those things goes wrong and blam! all that money goes up in smoke.

What I think doesn't matter of course, but I think they would be better off rolling it up, selling off what they can, payout out what they can to their creditors and leaving this chapter behind them. As someone who watched Webvan and Pets.com crash, this one is up there.
What would be ground-breaking is bait resistance. A community that could respond to the substantive parts of a story and resist getting sucked in by the baity parts would be a new thing (where by 'new' I just mean I don't know of one).

Until a month or so ago when they switched the login process to include having to click through about 5 different links. I'm glad my guesses worked for how to navigate through all of it. I'm tempted to leave just because of this.

1. Click sign in

2. Click sign in under Personal Banking

3. Enter user name and hit enter (assuming banking is selected)

4. Select Capital One 360

5. Enter password and hit enter

Done

Maybe its because http://capitalone360.com/ now redirects to https://www.capitalone.com/bank but why can't they have a single login for all account types?

It is typical in written English and this an English-annotated map not a Hindu cemetery. I'm not suggesting the dagger is some universal symbol for 'dead', but in context, it's used appropriately. If you translated the map, perhaps some other symbol would be better.

Edit: Oh, and yes, it was used as such in Orthodox, pre-revolutionary Russia.
It's no small risk. It's forcing you to whistleblow with no protection. Forcing you to do something, that they kill their own citizens for.
To be clear, I'm not addressing you specifically since you're clearly posting out of humor. When someone composes a message with errors, we can engage 1) the erroneous message or 2) the message without errors or 3) the meaning behind the message. It's unfortunate how news aggregation boards with short-lived posts - reddit, HN included - tend to reward slams at levels 1 & 2 when the conversation should really start at level 3.
I meant to convey something like this:

You start with "communism doesn't work" and you want to know whether UBI works (improves lives, etc).

So you can do "does UBI lead to communism?", and then decide the "does UBI work?" accordingly.

But you could also just ask "does UBI work?", without needing to assume that UBI leading to communism (I guess you could also test whether or not it leads there, but that's just as hard as testing whether it works).
My understanding is that short selling is still a useful tool for signaling that a company is overvalued. Without short selling we would see even more asset bubbles and then eventual crashes. Plus short selling allows for hedging strategies which allows investors to, well, invest more, which is generally a good thing.

The Swiss furniture company USM had the ultimate building system. It was essentially Mechano or Construx for building.

Their furniture is similar, they have three basic pieces - girder (tube), joints (balls) and panel. Out of that you can make any of their furniture. [1]

A similar system existed for buildings. You could expand and deconstruct your building quickly and easily as need changed. Unfortunately it wasn't a success on the market - too modern for the times, and it was discontinued in the 60's. The furniture is still going strong though.

If I ever get rich, I'd love to buy the rights off them and try again.

Clever people. High quality content. Good signal-to-noise ratio (cringe). And another cringey phrase - thought leaders. I find that the thinking here is ahead of the curve in general not just tech.

Also, while I'm in finance I understand a lot of of the tech chatter. I've got some rudimentary coding ability. (I can code a functional genetic algo from scratch - it'll just take me 20x longer than one of you guys and be a very nasty solution).

Crucially that level of understanding is sufficient to scan the thread titles and work out which ones I care about. "upcoming LLVM 4.0 release" - it's something *nix related. Don't know what but I'm certain it's not for me. Next topic.

"We are looking for hardware, software, and story proposals. We are particularly interested in projects that advance storytelling and journalism through new applications of technology. In the past, projects have responded to current political climates (the creation of a Panamanian government data repository, documentation of the various “offline networks” in Cuba), enhanced journalistic practice (news discovery through hotspots in social media feeds, a tool to autogenerate rough cuts for documentary videos), pushed the bounds of storytelling through technology (360-documentary on famine in South Sudan, an augmented reality application for viewing artwork), and used computation to find and tell stories (large-scale natural language processing software to examine declassified documents, an algorithm-based method to aid journalists in science reporting).

Thanks for all the info.
You know, I really wish I could buy Youtube Red for my friends more easily. It drives me up the wall when one of them is watching youtube and some obnoxious ad plays at 2x the volume of anything else they've been doing. I already pay for Youtube Red myself primarily because I hate video / audio advertising with a passion, but I can't control what anyone else in the room does with their money I guess.

Advertising is the sole reason I stopped watching television. It's unbelievably distracting when I enter someone else's house and they have their TV playing all the time. How do you not get sucked in? I guess I was desensitized to it earlier in life, but now I'll gladly pay subscription fees to distance myself from that racket.
That's probably because it uses the same engine ?
Will do. I'd thought the problem I had was obvious. And I went on to clarify, see my other answers below.

Even though I don't care about usable Linux linker I care about a replacement for Microsoft's linker for windows. LDC is an example where you need the closed link.exe in order to link.

Hopefully all the llvm projects (lldb, libc++, ...) mature for windows in order to have a replacement for msvc's tools. Until then (and beyond then) GNU tools gcc + ld will be my go to tools if msvc compatibility is not a constraint. They work perfectly well with Golang. But it happens people to release msvc link libraries. Even dmd for windows-x64 needs microsoft linker to work). Unilink is an option, but its closed source. And openwatcom-v2 will take time to get there.
If that’s the case, we should not aim for equality, but instead aim for at least a token minority member presence in all groups, since this produces the intended effect.
It's pretty much impossible to draw pixel-perfect lines in OpenGL. Even the library code of SDL2 fails to do it in certain instances, when its 2D drawing functions use OpenGL - and SDL2 is super clean and solid like a rock. Sometimes, you're even better off using images (!!) to draw lines. The sad thing is that Bresenham's line algorithm is so very simple. Somewhere between my program and the GPU, the communication of where exactly the line starts and ends is lost.

> Many people—transit boosters, cyclists, planners, environmentalists, safety advocates—look at the end result of all this, and understandably reach the conclusion that cars are the enemy. The overriding policy question, then, becomes: “How do we get people out of their cars?”

Many people live in their own version of reality. One where no one lives with kids in the suburbs. Where stores just get their products airdropped or something. Where it's not cold and snowing large chunks of the year.

I'm all for more walkable/bikeable cities, and public transit is good too. I just feel like so many of these people arguing just live in a totally different world.

This is similar to how I feel. Sometimes I tell people I'm a Python 1.5 guy, because that's the version I started with. I've since familiarized myself with list comprehensions, generators, etc. I even use decorators, though I'm still at the point where I have to find a howto and refresh some of the details each time. The print and string changes I find annoying, and I haven't gotten to async/await yet. It's not that I don't understand or appreciate these things, but they do take away a lot from Python's simplicity and intuitive readability. Those were massive strengths, so I'm not sure the tradeoff is worth it. There are already plenty of languages for those who prefer code which some would call elegant and others (including me) would call obtuse. I find myself looking more and more at Lua, which seems to embody more of the early Python spirit than modern Python itself does.
Not really. For the people I am talking about, helping with something like that would be absolutely expected from a very close friend (a "compadre" for example, which is a Spanish term for the godfather of your children, would be considered very unreliable if he didn't help with something like that). It would even be considered a bit rude for neighbors not to do so in some neighborhoods (specially if other neighbors helped them with their homes). Admittedly, I am not from those circles and I am not 100% sure about the etiquete, but there are definitely pretty strong rules about what you expect from your close community and viceversa. It is part out of necessity, because we are talking about places with very little economic resources and practically no access to government or banking services.

The whole robot revolution thing only sunk in for me when my dad (owner of elec co) mentioned that they got a contract for installing lighting in a factor that is on a timer.

Turns out they need the lights off 6 days a week (robots) and 1 day on (humans doing maintenance on robots). That whole concept of they don't even bother lighting it really hit home in terms of yeah really no humans anymore.
> It is typical in written English

Let's not blow this out of proportion, but to address this narrow point:

Again, it may seem that way if you read a lot written by Christians, but I believe it's the religion of the author not the language that determines the usage.

Consider the nation with the largest English-speaking population in the world, India; do they use crucifixes? English also is widespread in Israel and other countries that aren't predominantly Christian. My guess is that books written by Israelis don't use them either. I agree that the usage is widespread in predominantly Christian countries.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm talking about using the symbol to indicated death.
That paper only has one female author and 3 male authors. Perhaps the blatant sexist tone that projects requires the trigger warnings.
