I would look up other symptoms of epilepsy. If that does not quell your concerns, consult with a doctor.

As a person with epilepsy I viewed the image (FOR SCIENCE!) and almost immediately had a headache. which is on par with what I was expecting from previous experiences with flashing lights.

That being said, EEG testing has reveled that my thresh hold for Photosensitive seizures is much higher than other triggers making me feel safe viewing the image.
What about killing millions of pigs because they're tasty? Do they have agency? What about stepping on an ant for the fun of it? Does it get a negative reaction equal to the killing of a dog? It's an animal's life...

The only reason killing a dog would be bad is because the dog may belong to someone, so it's like burning their house: it's property vandalism. Everything beyond that is down to aesthetic: most people in your culture think dogs are cute, so they want to care for them. In some chinese places, a dog is food, so it's alright, just like it is alright killing millions of pigs in our culture.
Exactly. That's why I'd do it in the extension.
Similar thing happened to me. I had a lot of computing equipment to carry, including a desktop LCD screen, and it only just barely fit in the hard case. Took what felt like hours of fiddling and rearranging to get it to close. Of course, with all that electronics the case was searched, and of course the TSA didn't spend hours fiddling and rearranging - they'd obviously just jumped on it until it latched, crushing the screen.

I feel there is also a big difference in motivation: reducing harm versus reducing personal blame.

No doctor can be sued for a patient who doesn't see them, so raising prices high, and using it for insurance has the benefit of insuring patients who see you, while those who can't pay aren't your patients, so if they come to harm because they can't afford to see you, not your problem.
Perl is mostly hard to parse because it using a dynamic lexer. The parser itself uses a normal static yacc grammar, but the lexer drives the parse dynamically. Eg if a class or method is already defined or not, and what types to expect as arguments. It's crazy, but beautiful. Not so insane, more like a very clever hack.

> And I noticed, that on social sites (Facebook for example) that shows employment, lots of people are becoming business-people too, for example I noticed scores of 18 year olds that own some business selling cakes, or making clothes, or other stuff like that.

I'm not sure how it is in Brazil, but in some parts of the US, there are many young adults 18-22 who start businesses like this. They either start right out of high school or drop out of college, create an LLC, then start a business. Once every so often, someone does well. They make it 5+ years before calling it quits for various reasons. Most of them fail right out of the gate.

The reality of, "Oh crap. This is my business. I can do whatever I want, but I am literally responsible for everything - including generating income" hits. They see that it's not so easy bootstrapping a photography business or cake business from scratch when there is no formal training in the area. No one wants photos that are washed out when a professional can do it for a few dollars more. No one wants a cake that can be replicated by spending 1/3 the price for a store bought cake mix.

Then they stop actually participating in the business, but their social media profile still says "Owner of Pop Flash Photography" or "Sole Proprietor of Wake n Bake Cakes".

One thing that some CS students in my area have done is to start an LLC once they've written something demoable. It doesn't have to be new or innovative (could be a simple calculator app that's on the app store), but if they can distribute it for use, they license it and publish it under the LLC. They make business cards for the LLC. Then they say things like, "I'm the Founder/Owner of Living Room Launched Software. We have a small app on the app store. Here's my card. Contact me if you need something."

This isn't to knock young people who have the entrepreneurial spirit! I think it's great for people to explore what they want to do in life, and it's better to fail fast straight out of HS than to blow their life savings in their mid-40s. Some kid fresh out of high school looking to get rich quick off of something easy is markedly different from the churn discussed in this article.

How are you going to deal with zoning? Generally the big problem with tiny houses is that while they're relatively cheap to make they're not allowed by existing zoning.
I'm waiting for media to spin this as "anti Muslim" yet again.

I wonder if the true reason is because USA does not trust overseas security (which doesn't make a lot of sense, you have to recheck your carry-ons/luggage after customs), or if it's a means to get a closer look at your electronics when you're not there, or just because there's been an incident (the TSA actually managed to catch a threat) that we're not privvy to. From what I understand, laptops are a bit harder to xray which is why they're screen separate from other items.
I'm right in the middle of those groups and I use it heavily every day. As a media consumption device it works perfectly. I don't want to use my heavy laptop nor my tiny phone. It's the sweet spot for me.
I think you've posted this like 15 times in this comment section. This is a terrible argument: what happens when next month someone hides a bomb in a bottle of liquor, or a child's toy, or an iPhone? This kind of reactive security is a sure way to inconvenience everyone and not actually improve security in any meaningful way. Every security professional knows that if you only "fix" the narrow cases that have caused problems in the past, you will never prevent another attack. I don't know what a better solution looks like, because I'm not an expert on counterterrorism or explosives detection, but this certainly isn't it.

> If I'm understanding this correctly; it would be like saying "open the safe with the illegal weapons in it", and pointing at the safe. If you open it, does that mean you're admitting the weapons are illegal?

Kind of, yes. The non-contrived situation where this comes up is with subpoenas. A subpoena will request specific documents or specific kinds of documents. Responding to the subpoena requires making judgments about what documents are responsive to the request, and there is an implicit assertion that documents produced fall within the scope of the subpoena request.

So the government cannot, for example, make you "produce all accounting records containing false numbers." Producing documents in response to that comes with the implicit admission that the accounting records are false. The government can eliminate that problem simply by asking for all accounting records.

We'll see what actually happens..

No direct insight, but -

a.out -> ELF, glibc2, and NPTL threads radically shifted threading and
required kernel/userland cooperation in the Linosphere; We now have ELF
symbol versioning widely supported which should make this even easier, so I suspect there will be some sort of long-run transition period and some fun C #ifdef macro fun over the long haul - e.g. I could see this new statx() thing (which apparently has additional information) being the baseline, and then having some -DLINUX_2038 gizmo which redefines stat() in terms of this function when present, possibly with some sort of ld trickery to splice together the appropriate functions in the case of shared libraries, yadda..

>verifying that the "ancient" Linux system they setup to replace their mainframe 25 years "ago" is safe.

The problem with mainframes is that they can't be trivially upgraded or migrated to 64-bit like modern OS's on x86 hardware can be. Vendor lock-in, retirement of OS, bare to the metal coding, etc caused this. If these mainframes were running a modern OS, it would have been trivial to upgrade them to a 64-bit version and make whatever small changes are needed to date storing in the old 32-bit apps. You won't need a wizened COBOL guy for this. A first year CS student would be able to look at C or C++ code and figure this out. Modern languages are far more verbose and OO programming makes this stuff far easier to work with.

Comparing mainframes to unix systems really doesn't make sense. Its two entirely different designs. Not to mention, the idea of running a 32-bit OS today is odd, let alone 20+ years from now, especially with everything being cloudified. You'd be hard pressed to even find a 32-bit linux system in 20+ years, let alone be asked to work on one. That's like being asked to setup 1000 Windows 98 workstations today.
I don't think it's usable IRL (in its present state), as, according to figures, it doesn't work well even on cifar/mnist. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the value of this paper is that you can decouple a model and train layers asynchronously/independently, just first steps to distributed NN training.
It won't be the same magnitude of issues. However, I'm sure there will be plenty of apps on said 64 bit Linux that have issues. I commented about a mysql problem here that exists on 64 bit MySQL, on 64 bit Linux. It's not much of a stretch that some internal apps at a company would have similar issues.

Edit: Ntp has something of a protocol issue to be addressed as well.
Valuation is very much a vanity. You can inflate it in a variety of ways. By the time the companies get to him, I think the joke is that you can't tell whether it was actually a unicorn or not. If common stock is worth 0, nobody cares anyways.

/IBM employee rant begin

To me, the fact that IBM has for years encouraged remote work, been affirmatively OK with people moving hundreds, even thousands of miles from their nearest co-location center to then yanking this policy and forcing employees to decide whether to move in a short amount of time makes this, in my mind, a thinly-veiled downsizing effort.

Imagine; for years, your department in is NY state, but you've been told it's totally cool to move to Colorado and work from home. In fact, IBM exclaims how it's good for the company because it saves space and money! You build your family's life there, then all the sudden - you have a month to decide to relocate to NY state (sell your house, change your kids' school, etc) or quit with a measly package. They won't even allow you to go to the nearby IBM office in Colorado because your group is based in NY state.

I know employment is at-will, and what IBM is doing is perfectly legal. It doesn't mean it doesn't stink.

> This is a very uncharitable interpretation.

Yup.

> Is it really so weird that people are more idealistic at a distance? Or that a person's views in the real world are more nuanced than can be boiled down to a few absolute principles.

I don't think it's weird, exactly, I'd say it's frustrating/borderline infuriating when people vote for one thing while simultaneously demanding the opposite, when people are against 'handouts' except when said handouts are convenient for their lifestyle.

It's massively hypocritical to complain about government handouts while being extremely dependent on them. This isn't some edge case, their lifestyles and communities are fundamentally dependent on the thing they claim to despise.

> Even the staunchest free market advocates support the idea of government intervening when markets fail, and there is an almost universally held belief that such a failure exists in the telecom industry.

Yeah but we're not talking about using regulation to grant a local monopoly, we're talking about the economic fundamentals of providing services like internet. It's not really a 'market failure' that it's uneconomical to provide internet to people who choose to live in remote areas, any more than it's a 'market failure' there are usually no good ethnic restaurants out there, or that land in Manhattan is astronomically expensive.

> And do you not think a person could view a market intervention to expand access to what is becoming a utility and social programs that write checks to 'unproductive members of society' to be different?

To be clear, this isn't a 'market intervention' (what does that even mean?). This is a government intervention that relies on private providers for implementation, not entirely unlike building roads.

> I'm not saying they're right, but calling them hypocrites based on your world view and your generalization of theirs seems to be picking a fight rather than any kind of respectful discussion.

But they are hypocrites, and so far even in conservative circles where I've pointed this out, nobody really has a response that disputes it.

And you're right that what I'm saying is not, by itself, terribly productive. But recognizing the internal contradiction of communities that espouse principles that, if actually implemented, would destroy themselves, or even just recognizing the subsidy at work, could lead to interesting policy discussions.

I think most Americans are unaware of how urban areas subsidize rural ones. The stereotypical lazy person benefiting from a subsidy in political discourse is a poor person in a city who's mooching off welfare, after all, while rural people are -- when they're not stereotyped as backwards hicks -- stereotyped as gruff, hard-working 'real Americans'. And they may indeed be hard-working, but that doesn't mean their lifestyle isn't getting subsidized.

You've now interjected numbers in an otherwise word-only sentence, which is generally a no-no. You might as well just go for a bulleted list at that point since you're breaking the grammatical flow. But there are plenty of other examples besides mine where the entire sentence meaning changes based on that comma. For example, "Amanda found herself in the Winnebago with her ex-boyfriend, an herbalist and a pet detective."

As another point, for me the Oxford comma makes reading generally easier because it's clear where a list ends. If I see ", and" then I know what follows is the last item without having to read ahead and figure out if there's more to come.

Worst case, we put wheels on them and have license plates to avoid having to comply with building regulations;)
How's that lemonade stand holding up?
This is not a problem for 20 years from now, I've already had to find and fix 2038 bugs ... there was an openssl bug (now fixed) in which cert beginning and ending date math was done in 32-bits ... certs with an end date from a little after 2038 would fail when compared with the current time.

Fortunately for me there was already a fixed OpenSSL already available once I'd found the bug in it.
There's lots of problems with this line of thinking. One, it encourages "butt-in-seat" thinking, which is inefficient. If I deliver what you wanted delivered in the time allotted, I should be free to work on whatever I want. Of course, a manager wants to squeeze every drop, so if you've finished they'll say "I have some more work for you". But best believe you'll never be fairly compensated for that work ( at most companies anyways. Obviously if the company is Facebook/Google you can have a massive impact and will be flying around to work on whatever suits your fancy ).

Look at it from a contractor's point of view: a contractor will have many other things that they can deliver and make money from, so adding a bit of polish to your project vs delivering another client's makes less sense.
> No matter how good Ocarina of Time is, anyone playing it today can feel the lack of depth and poor graphics putting up a wall between themselves and enjoyment.

This is an interesting example because the N64 era is a very awkward one. Along with the Playstation the N64 is the dawn of mainstream 3D gaming, but these games still very limited graphically and designers are in the process figuring out how to make a 3D games work. If you look a generation back, games like Super Metroid are still immensely enjoyable today - the lack of graphical/gameplay depth you mentioned is a non-issue as 2D gaming was quite mature at this point.
