Before opening the link I was thinking this was going to be a cool feature that lets you scroll through older revisions of a file in git. This, paired with a git blame GUI would be awesome.

Sweet feature regardless :)
Why should I trust this guy's conclusions over a joint report by the NSA, CIA, and FBI released by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence?

I know that sounds facetious, but I'm being sincere: three major intelligence organizations from the US government said in very strong terms that their concurring opinion is Russian intelligence hacked the DNC and conducted PSYOPs against the US election. My experience with US intelligence personnel is that they're competent, reasonable people who sincerely want to help the country, even if they're prone to being overzealous in their actions.

I have no idea who this guy is or why I should care what he has to say. To be honest, the post reads as considerably less professional and well reasoned than other discussion of the issue, and I'm skeptical of the sincerity -- the standards of proof are ridiculous, there's no direct refutation, and it reads like it's meant to sow doubt.

So why isn't this at best a contractor looking to cash in by going against the grain and at worst another PSYOP?

Presentation attack is a common venerability to all 2D facial recognition systems, attempts at resolving the issue traditionally involves using additional hardware (IR Sensors, camera), and/or complex computer vision algorithms that don’t work very well and often require additional effort on behalf of the user.
In this demo I utilize deep learning and AI to identify fake faces (attack attempts), prevent access, and notify the user in real time, with near perfect accuracy and even with single static photos.
Deep learning and the work we do at Chui is increase security and enabling unmanned facial recognition systems to work in practice.

Any resource recommendations for someone to learn business speak such as this?
It certainly seems unusual that this software exists, but only from a single company. You would think HP/Dell/Lenovo/etc who are desperate for services revenue, would be making a similar technology if it was valuable.

A past employer looked into the product and had a reasonably high level engagement. We never got complete answers to many questions, and the company itself didn't feel particularly large. Granted we disengaged when we couldn't make the ROI work -- we just don't lose many devices. It seems unusual that a teeny company from Vancouver that nobody has heard of can navigate the bureaucracy of massive PC vendors and Asian suppliers of motherboards and android SoCs for decades.

It also seems weird when you consider that Intel, despite having a near monopoly on x86 and the ability to get other mega corps to put Intel stickers on things, (and even push them to make Atom phones that nobody wants!) gets comparatively little love for its management layer.
Regarding the speaker grille "why:"

I'd assume the "speaker ports" are either for air flow, or the entire case works as a resonance chamber and wave guide.

Are there other reasonable options?

This would now probably get into the big debate around running these engines rich of peak or lean of peak.

Generally, speaking engines of this type are manually leaned - full rich for take off, climb and landing, then leaned for fuel conservation in cruise. The debate is around whether it is better for the engine to be run slightly richer or slightly leaner over an extended period of time. Slightly lean of peak is probably better.

However, if leaned too much there is the risk of one or more cylinders overheating. Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) guages should be used to monitor this. Many older Cessna 172/182s wouldn't be fitted with EGTs. They certainly weren't factory standard in the 50s, 60s and 70s.

All this leaning of mixture is done manually, by turning a knob screw in the cockpit.

Another risk is shock cooling. This isn't really an issue with Cessna singles, but can be a real problem with heavier twins like a Piper Chieftain (PA31-350). They easentially run two bigger versions of a very similar engine.
That's fine, but that has nothing to do with whether or not the presence of a 3.5mm jack makes wires mandatory. Whether or not the quality of the bluetooth stack improves with the removal of the 3.5mm jack is highly debatable.
I agree, keep the exp date, just dont use it to validate the transaction so I dont have to fumble with the keyboard and mouse to select stupid dropdown boxes. Let the server handle the case where the card expires tomorrow. I agree the CVV should be on the back, so just take the 3 numbers off the front and put them on the back.
Well, what makes a blockchain a blockchain is not that it's a list of nodes where each contain the hash of it's previous node. In that case git would be a blockchain. It is the PoW and consensus programs that make it a blockchain.

And, for a last comment ... . I like to say that being a professor is better than working for a living, except when grading exams. One reason is that grading exams is a pain. Another is that it is when you find out that you have not done nearly as good a job of teaching as you thought you had.

I'm calling you out for your incredibly cheap tactic of bringing up Somalia. I'd bet money on the fact that you know nothing about it and would struggle to locate it on an un-labelled map of Africa. If you aren't able to tell me anything interesting on the quality of life when the country had a central government vs when it didn't, you should probably keep your mouth shut on the subject.

I might as well ask someone advocating for social democracy to move to North Korea, because "it's among those countries that have what supposedly makes a good 'socialist utopia'". I would rightly be panned for this. Doubly so if I had not the faintest idea of North Koreas history or situation.

Not sure what you mean by this. Https exists, no?
That works on computer systems because the PCI-E bus is already designed to be external. There's no need to separate it from the system bus because it's already separated in desktops.

In an ARM System on a Chip (SoC) like the Switch uses, the GPU is on the same chip as the main processor and very tightly integrated with the rest of the hardware. It's much more difficult to decouple this from the main unit. I don't doubt that USB 3.0 could handle the raw speed, but I doubt seriously it could keep up with the latency demanded by most applications.

An HD dock would almost necessitate an entire higher power SoC in the dock, and some way to synchronize the state between that and the one in the main system to pull off the system's characteristic fast-docking for which it's named. It's possible, but at that point it's less "offloading" and more "here's an actual high-power console that reads its data from the tablet."
I meant this in the most literal of ways, that the gp had no idea about the topic they were taking about, not as an insult. That being said I apologise. It wasn't my intention to break the guidelines.

I think gulp lost a lot of ground to webpack thanks to the popularity of react, and webpack offered a more declarative and convention-driven api for the sort of things people used gulp for the most: chaining together build steps to transform source files step-by-step into browser-ready assets. For more one-off tasks like kicking off scripts and specifying how they should run in parallel and sequence, the native ES landscape has improved greatly since the heyday of gulp; with native Promises, async/await etc you can organize task flows with a syntax that doesn't require any special knowledge of your build tools.
I'm reading that the same, but in this case it's a performance consideration; most systems expected to use AES-GCM-SIV use little-endian order internally, and since AES is often implemented at extremely low level (including in hardware), for most real-world systems (in particular, ones where crypto is extremely performance-sensitive), it doesn't make sense to impose an extra byte reordering for a value that is only used by the encryption process itself.
Please enlighten me on the quality of life in Somalia while it had a central government, vs before it had one. Statistics are slow and unreliable coming out of there, so feel free to limit you answer to the Barre Administration, as well as those areas that during the Civil war were under control of the Islamic Courts Union and the Transitional Goverments.

I look forward to being amazed by the breadth of your knowledge about the history and conditions of Somalia and how it pertains to libertarianism.
Do not worry. We know the ocean of knowledge they throw/threw us in with full expectation of us drinking in all that new material while being surrounded with sharks and there is a heavy storm that keeps a person from taking a breath.

Still Medical school kicks ass and life after it is colorless. Also, why are you complaining? With 4 Subjects tested every week year 2, 40 genes implicated in ovarian cancer and their frequencies are over the top. The only time I was disappointed was when a concept slipped because of the lack of waling minutes to master. Concepts are more important now as I see it in an age when any symptom or fact that slips can be double checked.
Best years of my life!
Yeah, was wondering the same.
Clients doing transparency themselves is the hackish solution to this problems because it involves the client sohehow knowing what it paints over.

And in all this has nothing to do with OpenGL except that GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is particularly efficient way to implement it on OpenGL supporting hardware. For simple transparency, the compositor can do the blending completely in software (which involves getting the drawables to the client and back), do it via XRender (which may get translated into OpenGL by AIGLX-supporting server) or by calling OpenGL directly. For compositor that only cares about transparency XRender is probably better API, for 3D-ish effects (as in Xgl or Sun's Looking Glass) OpenGL makes more sense.
I was wondering this too, there are typographic errors on the cards that are being transcribed verbatim one

"What is the different between a blond and a bruck[sic]?"

"After you lay a brick it does'nt[sic] follow you around for a week."

From the perspective of the artifact I could imagine that having the typos there would be reasonable but from the perspective of searchability it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
If it was in percent form, a correct answer with 100% confidence would be 1 + ln(100) = 5.605 pts. Only ln(1) = 0.

When I was ten years old, I went to Sacramento with my neighbor to install these cubicles.

It was summer time, and I had my father's permission.

I roomed at a local motel with a guy named Clem. Clem was nice, but had a tough upbringing. He was actually around thirty at the time, and could get a good job because he was just out of jail.

I remember my first day on the job site, and opening the boxes.

At first, we didn't know what to do with the "Cheap looking walls". My boss, "It's some new kind of office? I really don't know? But--we need to put them up. He's the plans--and work with Clem."

My boss loved his food. I don't remember working that much, but we had four meals a day. Breakfast at Denny's. Donuts at exactly 10 a.m. Lunch at 12 p.m., and it was always a sit down place. All you can eat dinner at 5:00 p.m.

At night Clem would drink "cocktails". We would be driving home, and he would say it's "Time for Cocktails?". We thought it was so funny at the time.

I was told no more than a six pack. I never finished more than two beers a night, so the six pack would last a few days. Different times?
Unfortunately, that's rather optimistic.

In 2016, a grand total of 2262 general aviation aircraft was shipped (haha) worldwide, of which 890 single engine piston (as the Cessna 172 of the article).

Thus, if you go into the single engine piston market and grab a full 10% of it, you'll be selling fewer than 100 aircraft a year.

> Why would sand need numbers to exist? I can pile up sand without ever knowing how many grains of sand are in the piles.

But those grains of sand you are piling already exist ;P

In a universe where quarks only collect in groups of four sand would fail to exist

it needs baryons.. or whatever name you want to ascribe, yes it is scientifically known and recognised that naming conventions are arbitrary and often localised but naming stems from consistent behaviour

In a universe without baryons to claim sand exists would be making up a new substance that uses 3 quarked particles

Or if you add a fourth quark to one proton in a grain of sand it would cease to be sand

So the number of quarks that collect and how they structure determines the existence of sand

Similar to how a beach is formed based on the number of grains of sand

anyway the root of the issue is confounding to me.. how often has physics been disproven and replaced by implementing mathematics?

for me physics is behavior, mathematics is existence

Ask HN: How do I turn off/disable all aws services without deleting the account?
Ok so I signed up for an AWS account to work on just to explore it. I must've turned on Kinesis and S3 to play around as well. I must've used it for one maybe two days and I have $10 charges. It is isn't a lot but I don't want to keep getting charged for something that I'm not actually using. I've googled around and couldn't find a clear answer. How do I turn off all these services?

I'm not on facebook. Does that make me trustworthy or untrustworthy to a potential criminal employer? :)
So your qualm is about notation? That it is confusing and too terse? It is so for good reason: you couldn't write complex expressions if you used single-word identifiers instead of letters.

For example, try writing this relatively simple expression, Noether's theorem, using one-word identifiers: http://quicklatex.com/cache3/8a/ql_eb3c64b518d0f2b54ceada1f8... . It gets unwieldy. Imagine manipulating more complicated expressions and writing words instead of a simple symbol. Any effort it takes to memorize a convention is recouped several times over in ease of use.

At any rate, I fail to see how else can concepts from software development apply to mathematics and physics, besides the superficial issue of identifiers.
Hjelmco is certainly fighting the good fight in that regard.

Which brings up the point of the availability of Avgas worldwide.

I had an aeroplane ferried from the UK to Australia, via the middle east and asia. Avgas, with engines only certified to use the leaded variety, was extremely hard to find and extremely expensive through much of the region. I have a photo of the aircraft being refuelled in India via hand held funnel and two gallon cans.

This also means that many of the NGO and small relief aircraft which used to be active in those areas are no more.

Still plenty of JetA1 available, but one needs a totally different engine for that.....
Any idea why is the experience this bad?

I'm in Europe and never used swipe cards (haven't seen a cheque since I was a kid, not sure they're even used anymore, but I digress) but the experience is really simple and the times you mentioned are always shorter.

Select goods, put the card in, enter PIN, 10 seconds later I'm walking out of the store. With contactless cards it's getting even simpler and faster and I insist buying at shops that use them. In that case the whole transaction is just one short beep and I'm out. If the total is over ~$20 then I also need to enter the PIN.

An interesting comment on this article:

Expanding (semi-)rings is an ancient process: we expand from 0,1,2,… to the integers by adjoining roots – which don't exist in the old structure – of polynomials x + n. The clever symbol '-5' means: 'that what solves x+5'. Our school education has made it into a common place notion but it took quite a while for the notion to be respectable.

It's interesting that negative numbers, square roots, and imaginary numbers were all invented using the same process: write an unsolvable formula, assume there's a solution, and if that doesn't lead to any contradictions, it's now a legitimate part of math.

I assume that was part of the lesson: in Bayesian decision theory, an agent that assigns 0.0 or 1.0 confidence to something can no longer update on new evidence about that thing. Saying something is 0% likely means being so sure about that thing, that nothing—no matter how amazing—could or would ever change your mind.

Basically, no human is actually ever 0.0 or 1.0 sure of anything. Assign five or ten nines of confidence, but not 0.0 or 1.0. (It's a lot clearer when you remove the log scale and notice that a 1.0 confidence-value translates to you saying you're "infinitely confident", which seems ridiculous.)
I'm not whack, but it must be in decimal form, or else putting 100% on a correct answer would yield ~5.6 instead of 1 (which whack says would be the score).

So, I suppose the follow-up question would be whether the techniques of the paper would make it possible to reformulate DOT without explicit types. Sorry if that's an ignorant question.
There are so many completely novel flavors and shades possible with the apparently blank canvas that is snake (I'd rather see it called Nibbles...). I certainly like the philosophy names. Even more, I appreciate that the game somehow behaves in a ways that, in each case, can only be responded to with a bit of delight, and a sense of "I don't know what I was expecting ..."

It really made me think about how important a well-structured philosophy really is in creating a game, story, interface, and a lot of other things! One needs to understand their own view of the universe in order to create another one effectively, I imagine.
Latency?
I think the assumption is that mmporgs need super low latency to support that type of experience. Stock markets also require as low a latency as possible. A fraction of a second lead over the competition could allow a finance company to buy low and sell high, making lots of money.
