Before your trip:

• Reduce the data you carry. Consider using temporary devices, deleting data from your regular devices, or shifting data to the cloud.

• Encrypt. Use strong full-disk encryption, not just weak screen-lock passwords.

• Passwords. Use software to make them long, unpredictable, and memorable.

• Backup. In case agents seize your devices, backup your data.

• Power down. Do it before arriving at the border, to block high-tech attacks.

• Fingerprint locks. They are weaker than passwords, so don’t rely on them.

• Apps and browsers. Agents use them to get from devices to cloud content. Consider logging out, removing saved login credentials, and uninstalling.

• But be aware: Unusual precautions may make border agents suspicious.

At the border:

What if border agents instruct you to unlock your devices, provide your passwords, or disclose your social media information? There is no “right” answer.

• Be safe. Stay calm and respectful. Do not lie to agents, which can be a crime.

• If you comply, agents may scrutinize and copy your sensitive data.

• If you refuse, agents may seize your devices. They also may escalate the encoun-ter, for example, by detaining you for more time.

• If you are a U.S. citizen, agents must let you enter the country.

• If you are a lawful permanent resident, agents might raise complicated questions about your continued status as a resident.

• If you are a foreign visitor, agents might deny you entry
I was serious: you can't put any obligation you want in a SW license and hope it can be enforced against those who buy said license. And it has been debated whether restriction to run consumer general purpose software on specific hardware, especially when that sw can be obtained independently of any hardware, can be enforced or not.
This is the second misconception I've read in this thread so far. I was at a conference in finland this year and a huge company called ABB was there with a holo lens demo. They had a hololens you could wear to see how to repair some mechanical unit. The hololens was able to recognise the unit from its previous mapping of the object and project AR on to it. They moved the unit and it still was able to almost instantaneously detect it.

The technology is here. It's ready. And it's already in use.
Beyond me why Google just simply did not add a red LED on the consumer edition to show if the camera was recording in an attempt to address the privacy concerns many people had.

Why does increased time dilation imply decreased precision? If we can precisely measure the energy deployed, can't we also precisely estimate time dilation and account for it?
I tried the halolens at united this year. Wearing it for 5 minutes was unbearable. I quit the demo early because the apparatus was uncomfortable. The field of vision was really small and the illusion was broken really easily. Obviously the tech should get better, but it was no where near prime time.
We need more details. Why would they be threatened when they had momentum?
I do like it when people set themselves challenges like this. Clear beginning and end, finishing something in combination with iterative learning is very satisfying. A bit like a hackaton or a game jam. But this made me think, because in a way it limits yourself in what you can do with what you previously learned. The more you learn the more complex projects you can create and halfway through you can create something which doesn't fit in a day anymore; complexity pushes build time up exponentially. E.g. it needs some extra tooling for generating procedural content. So what I propose is instead of 'over the course of 30 days I will every single day finish a project', why not follow the Fibonacci sequence: I start with nothing (procrastinating), next a one day project, followed by another single day effort. Stepping up with a 2 day project -> a big 3 day project -> 5 day full blown project -> 8 day epic. And finally: a full 13 days working on a single masterpiece! (33 days in total).

Actually, they do. All employees of a company have to pay themselves a minimum wage, at least. Founders are employees in their own company. And they (usually) own majority stock in the company - if there is a payout for YC, founders make more money than YC does.
Hololens can display 3D annotations that have been prearranged on a mostly static, previously mapped environment. It cannot map moving or non-rigid objects in dynamic environments and it cannot identify or track small objects that you are holding in your hands, unless maybe you stick giant fiducial markers on them.

Lua compiles to C which compiles to WASM, and the Lua forums already has some people demonstrating Lua code compiled to WASM like this. So you can do this already to some extent.
The advantage of iconography is that it doesn't require to you use a single language. Many signs in the US, which is largely monolingual, tend to be very wordy. In places like Canada, where bilingualism is mandatory, it's easier to do a cigarette with the red slash through it rather than have two signs, one that says "NO SMOKING" and the other "PAS DE FUMER" (that said, they sometimes do have the latter situation).

It's fairly well known that a lot of iconography is actually poorly understood without prior specific instruction. Do you know what this road sign means: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/49/Zeichen_... ? How about this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d1/Chile_ro... ?
Sort of relevant. I was watching an old movie that featured the original writer and performer of "I put a spell on you." His name is screamin' j Hawkins. I actually thought he was doing a cover. Apparently he is the real father of shock rock. I consider myself to be a music afficionado and I was completely unaware of this guy's contributions. I'm sure there are many that don't know how much Chuck contributed to the creation of rock. Rest in peace man.
>Mircosoft Hololens is AR as in Augmented Reality while Glass is a UI floating on your face.

Google marketed Glass as AR but it turned out to be just a Floating UI. That is why it failed imo. Hololens is what we were promised for a relatively similar price point.
No, they're functionally impossible to discharge in bankruptcy.
The "catting binary files" problem largely goes away when you use a terminal emulator that doesn't implement ISO 2022 escape sequences, or where ISO 2022 support can be and has been turned off. The mosh people made a big deal about this approximately five years ago.

Their claim that only mosh is like this, still present on their WWW site, is not in fact true now.

I say "largely" because there are a couple of other nasty escape sequences, like (for example) OSC sequences to set window titles and terminal names, that binary files can also accidentally contain and that therefore have to be disabled. Removing ISO 2022 makes the problem far less likely to be hit, but doesn't quite eliminate it entirely.
A particular elephant in the room here might be that economists also not uncommonly engage in policy advocacy, yet the stereotypical sociologist's political advocacy is left-wing and the stereotypical economist's political advocacy is right-wing, at least relative to one another. Maybe one part of that is that the two have fairly different understandings of what makes human societies tick.

The original point of the parent was obviously cost as in money.

A somewhat OT anecdote: I met one of my good friends in SF serrindipitously because... he was reading Wealth of Nations next to me at the cafe bar and I struck up a conversation with him about it. And perhaps naturally, he's as far from dogmatic devotion as one can get.
Thank you :) the point I was hoping to make is whether a choice can be considered ideological if it is compatible with an ideology but yet chosen purely for pragmatic reasons?

This is awesome!

Color scheme is very strange though. I live in SF, and I imagine if you surveyed folks on the street, everyone would tell you blue is a "safer" color than orange.

Maybe it could follow the Google Maps standard—green, yellow, red (traffic)? They may be depicting a different metric more important to cyclists (safety), but the problem-solving approach is the same: try to take green / yellow routes and avoid red ones.

While I'm not sure how much it actually was the case with the apps that were available, a lot of the ideas around it seemed to be things that require the camera running, so the LED would be on in a lot of situations where creating a recording would be inappropriate.

(And making a trustworthy indicator that only shows if a recording is actually being created is basically impossible, so "camera running" is the only thing they could show)

Need to separate the product from the business. Spectacles, the product, is widely considered to be a hit and has received near universal praise. Snap's business meanwhile isn't as strong.
Spectacles never had near the awareness or hype that Google glass originally had, and the news I saw surrounding it was always overshadowed by mentioning what happened with glass. I'm not saying Glass would have succeeded otherwise, but it would have made a far better impression and not set the tone for other efforts.
Oh, without a doubt weed is just an excuse to feed the rubes. I should've been more clear. I agree with your thoughts on armaments buildup in police departments. It's no wonder at all.
Virtually everybody has a friend of a friend who ran into a cop who lied or abused them. It's foolish to inject race into the discussion of police abuse. A lot more people would support reform if the discussion wasn't narrowed to just police abuse of minorities.

The real cause of the problem is that many communities are racially segregated and that we don't require police officers to live in the communities they police. It causes cops to police neighborhoods like troops occupying a foreign country with restless natives.

If we want to get serious about stopping this we should 1) outlaw gentrification and lower property taxes so that poor people aren't forced to live apart from everyone else 2) outlaw any zoning laws that affect the income levels of communities 3) provide police officers with a home in the community they police and require them to live there with their families. Also, put a body cam on every police officer and have an independent quality assurance department to conduct random reviews.

I wish I would have been turned down for the loans that paid for my MFA. I'll be paying $450/month until I'm in my 10th year of retirement on that loan. But then again, the school that I went to would probably not exist if it weren't for these loans (Graduate Art School). Considering the caliber and notoriety of the graduates of this university, national culture would suffer as a result of these regulations.

I have to agree that somehow the risk and the student's motivation and achievement are inversely related though there was never any inquiry into my records in the process outside of verifying that my university was on the up-and-up.

But beneath this is a more fundamental question. Why can't we as a country afford the things that are important (our health, our education and our homes) when we make so much more than the developing world where they have the same basic needs? What have we actually gained (aside from creature comforts) from our high incomes as it relates to living our lives. We're borrowing money to pay for almost everything and then paying the interest the rest of our lives.

What do you define as "wealthy"? And what "authenticity" do these people lack? The article doesn't define what "the destruction of authenticity" means (presumably the book does), leaving readers to make up their own definitions.

> They've seemingly lost their ability for self-reflection (if they ever had it) - That's why many of them trust financially-motivated personal growth gurus, success coaches, high-end psychologists and advisors to guide them.

I'd guess that wealthier people likely engage in more self-reflection (on average) because wealth affords them the opportunity to do so. As for all the personal growth gurus, coaches, etc., most of these people make their money off the middle class. It's not millionaires buying Tony Robbins books and attending his courses.

> A lot of wealthy people don't seem to fully appreciate that absolutely everyone around them is constantly trying to milk them

You really think wealthy people don't recognize that their wealth attracts this? The rest of the world sees this but not the wealthy? Wealthy people tend to spend their time with other wealthy people because of this.
I did GeoDNS + Unicast IPs for a while. I had a really rough time making it work, and we ended up building our own anycast network (https://status.neocities.org)

Aside from the root domain issues (and less options for market-priced bandwidth), "GeoDNS + Cloud" pushes your traffic into someone else's ASN, which means complaints end up being sent to them, and your hosting is effectively governed not just by one, but by two different ToSes.

This isn't a big deal for a couple thousand sites (unless they're huge), but once you start getting into the hundreds of thousands, you'll see a significant spike in issues (phishing, malware, spam, DMCA, legal threats, etc.) that get sent to whomever owns that IP address. After getting too many of these complaints, those other providers can decide you're just not worth the effort and boot you off their servers.

Crazy hypothesis? Sounds like it would be, but it happens: https://twitter.com/surge_sh/status/685164708861624325. DO did the same thing to us when we tried to use them for part of our CDN early on. After that, I tried three other cloud services that either did the same thing or threatened to do the same thing (to say nothing about the ridiculously overpriced bandwidth).

The choice we were left with: Get our own AS, or die. Mind you, this was over < 30 abuse reports per month, not thousands. Most of these providers are designed for a single company or a wordpress blog, they're not designed (and not really equipped) for usage as infrastructure for a web hosting provider with hundreds of thousands (or millions) of customers.

Building out the anycast CDN was a "drinking from the firehose" experience and had some upfront costs I would have rather not paid, but it solved this existential problem for us permanently, and probably saved our life. From experience, I do think you'll have to do this eventually (or at least do GeoDNS + unicast with your own IPs and AS).

I think this was part of Google's long game all along. Although it seemed to be marketed initially as some sort of lifestyle or social media device, there are striking parallels between the Glass and some of Vannevar Bush's concepts - and really as a very rough prototype. We still have some way to go, I think.

Without getting too into the weeds -- we do use OSS and third-party libraries where it makes sense. Our rendering pipeline incorporates things like mozjpeg, Intel IPP, jxrlib and other technologies. We're doing the integration and augmentation work to make this all play nicely together with the right quality and performance.

However, there is no off-the-shelf solution that solves the same core problem as the imgix pipeline. Resizing or format conversion, sure. That plus the types of graphical operations that Photoshop supports? Less common. Now do all of that in one pass in 30-50ms, streaming to/from the GPU, with the ability to easily add new workflows and operations? It's our core business, and we own that workflow completely inside of our stack.

We built on the foundation of CoreImage and that gave us a leg up -- we can take most of what we've built, replace the foundation and keep going on another platform (such as Linux). The main challenge is that there is no equivalent technology to CoreImage on any other platform. PIL (or Pillow) are adjacent technologies, but I can tell you from experience trying to operate a PIL-backed image thumbnailing service at scale it is not a large scale solution. Better than ImageMagick for sure, but it still has limitations. Even something like RenderMan is not tuned for this kind of workflow -- it's awesome at what it does, but latency and scale are not its central concerns.

There are risks to imgix's business, and this is one of them, but I'll be pretty surprised if it sinks us. We have some pretty sharp cookies working on our rendering platform, and while success on that front isn't guaranteed it's entirely within the realm of possibility.
For me, I didn't notice much of a difference in performance. Ostensibly, the benchmarks say that it is ~5x faster, but on a day-to-day basis, I barely notice this - I rarely transfer files larger than ~10GB.

However, what I did appreciate was the (in-the-case) logistics difference of installing an M.2 drive; one screw, no cables, almost as easy as a RAM upgrade. Not having to fuss with SATA was a pleasure, and reminded me of the switch from IDE to SATA (you just... plug it in? Where are the jumpers?).
I bought the domain and have been creating a site locally. I'll upload it prior to applying. I don't want to show anyone what I have yet, as it's half-baked. I know first impressions mean a lot in this community and with science/tech in general. Trust me, I've made that mistake before and got laughed/ridiculed to the point of almost never trying again. I'll be smarter this time and remember this is not reddit, this is where supergeeks hang out.
Is it really true that in a world of perfect competition profits would be competed away? It depends on what you mean by "perfect," but I always assumed there would still be differences in skills, access to certain resources, and whatnot, so that profits might be decreased, but not eliminated.

The point you're making, though, is why patents are so important to get right and not overextend. I'm personally opposed to them completely, although I respect arguments for limited patents.

Dry casks at the reactor site are totally the correct approach. It should be made law, that all high level waste be so stored on site.

Also, a investment fund, a modest one, should be created to fund the re packing of the waste 50 to 100 years from now. It is unclear exactly how long these casks will function without leaking.

The communities around the reactors benefited economically from the jobs, it is only fair they tend the waste.
