I feel like the US needs a new way to structure corporate America. Office space needs to be about as sparse as residential. i.e. Instead of having massive business centers have large numbers of small offices interlinked via tech. I'm aware this is pie in the sky. You can't have it both ways, though.

I lived in a space of around 300 square feet for years quite comfortably. The only persistent annoyance was doing laundry. Though, the key part of it was to never let any clutter build up, and I am one of those people who can get by without much "stuff".
Cool! Will look into that, thanks!
There's a lot we can do even in cities. I own a house now and it's pretty ridiculous how restricted the city makes your home. For example, I must set the house back 25 feet from the front curb, and 15 feet from the back. Basically you can't legally extend just about any house and make room for a growing family. You must always move.

> Australia has quite strict regulations on who it accepts as immigrants, and doesn't even accept a single refugee.

Lets not forget that all Australians except for Aboriginal people are technically immigrants.
Impeachment is not a trial.
Not the OP either but I use both extensively at work and haven't paid my own money so subject to less bias in that sense. I've also had a fair run at everything from Cardboard to the Hololens over the last couple of years.

Once setup I find the tracking similar. The main advantage of the Vive is the ability to track a larger space. Outside of arcades this is a bit of a non-issue currently as most users don't have that much space. A lot of users also don't tend to walk around that much or at least more tentatively due to the tether.

The Touch controllers are much better ergonomically and offer more input options. But they are also less non-gamer friendly. The Vive wand suffers from being enormous with badly placed buttons.

Headset wise the Rift is a clear winner right now. It's lighter, has a much better harness and the integrated headphones remove a lot of the faff factor putting it on. Vive is releasing kits that address some of this later in the year.

Store wise Oculus does a better job of surfacing products that will meet consumer expectations. Mostly because there are less hobby projects clogging it up and the exclusive content so far has been good. Then you can still head over to Steam, itch and others to explore more questionable variety.
It's how most of the rest of the world works.
There was a spike due to mining and offshore gas in the past decade or two, but the mining sector has pretty much stagnated now.

Also, it was somewhat of a 'false spike' due to mining companies using FIFO (fly in fly out) workers from Asia etc. Those workers would come here, work hard, collect their pay packets and the leave to go back to their home countries and spend there rather than locally.

Our tourism market, which WAS a huge part of our GDP and employment, has suffered. In my town, the FIFO workers book out entire streets of hotels for their work schedules, meaning tourists have no chance getting a room year round. Local shops and markets are shuttering at a fast clip because no tourists are around the spend money with them.

Recent events with the cyclones in Queensland, and the general bleaching of our Great Barrier reef also will have a huge impact on our tourism market, with a reported 100,000 jobs likely to disappear over the coming years across the Eastern seaboard.

This new App delivers trending content on any topic across all social networks
Trendis, is a new app from Cornell graduate Swapnil Mengawade that scans social networks looking for the latest trending content of choice and delivers them in one place. Facebook has selected Trendis for its early stage startup mentorship programme, FB Start. The App has already generated huge user interest and looks to redirect the course of social media engagement.

San Francisco, CA-03/31/2017—Each day mountains of online content is uploaded on platforms like Facebook and YouTube. Estimates are that 4.75 billion pieces of content is shared on Facebook daily) and close to 400 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube each minute. There is so much content that it becomes difficult to find exactly what you want, when you want it or see what other people are looking at and enjoying. The mechanisms of Facebook and YouTube deliver content based on subscriptions and follows, which doesn’t often extend to new content that the user might be interested in. Trendis captures the latest trending content across all social networks every hour and delivers only the content that matches users interests in form of a social magazine. This content can be saved and catalogued into named folders, commented on or shared with friends using any channel (mail, whatsapp, message, twitter, facebook, etc.).
“We knew we had a good idea with the app so seeing how many downloads we’ve gotten early on just confirmed to us that we did something right,” says Swapnil. “There is a lot of value in the app, but when asked what do we believe is our best feature we always point to our powerful search engine that gets real time content from multiple social networks in form of videos, photos and articles pertaining to the users search criteria.”

Trendis is currently available on Google Play Store and App Store. For more information visit:www.trendis.com.
I always wondered why the F-117 looked like a low-poly CG model. It turns out that's because it was: shaping a stealth airframe takes a hell of a lot of math, and the computers available could only handle it for a small number of flat surfaces.
> The mainstream press periodically waded into this swamp, but it only backfired. Its occasional fact checks got circulated as further evidence: If the media is trying to debunk it, then the conspiracy must be true.

To what extent, then, is fake news culpable? If people are hell-bent on rebuffing the facts, how significant of an effect could targeting fake news websites have? I have seen similar thing happen in India, particularly forums with right-wing majority. Anything that sounds remotely critical is quickly shot down as a product of biased media. Every decision centric to right-wing view, no matter how damaging, is regarded as unassailable and they would fight to death to defend it. Arguing with facts is almost a lost cause .

It's been a long time since I was regular part of those forums, but, I do occasionally get to see their views on social media. No change whatsoever in their adverse opinions. I have a feeling that changing views of people for the most part is an uphill battle. Most people quickly associate their identity to a view and absolutely refuse to budge.
Re: super-bright lights. I've been wondering the same thing. I think part of it comes from misconfigured Automatic High-Beams [0] (the sensitivity settings for which are user selectable; mine defaulted to nearly always-on when new despite what the manufacturer copy claims), while the rest are just flat out brighter. Now it's just a race to see who can install daylight-bright artificial suns as their headlights first.

I've never had the greatest night vision, so all the extra light is really bothersome. That, combined with my aging, computer-cooked eyes (that are slowly turning to ash), has led me to all but stop driving at night. The upside is I get to work a bit earlier. The downside: I now spend more time in traffic.

That just increases reliance on cars and cuts the employee pool for the business. There is an area on the outskirts of my city that they decided make into a large office park. It's great for the people that live around there, but they are always desperate for employees because most don't want to travel that far for work, and the area isn't exactly where people live if they have a choice.
The subtlety missing is that the 'chat room' scandals were (at least in part) conducted on Bloomberg's own platform[1] And that one of the 'big brother-like databases' was the one their journalists used to write articles based on how their clients used their platform [2] The article doesn't really touch on the publisher's skin in the game other than mentioning how compliance friendly their chat now is.

I'm on the board of a Canadian refugee resettlement group. On Vancouver Island. We just received notification that our sponsored family, who fled Mosul, will be arriving this summer. We're well aware of the 13th month issue but we are working to ensure that they will be on their feet by that time. It's a risky endeavor, we have been well trained to prepare for as many eventualities as we can, and I think we are going into it with open eyes. It just seems the right thing to do and i am pleased Canada allows private sponsors. Of yeah, my mom was a refugee from communist Chinaand her parents were refugees from Russia. I figure i gotta pay it forward.

Just curious - you don't think housing prices are too high in Australia? At least when compared to local wages?

To me it seems like a giant house of cards, waiting for the just little breeze to bring it toppling down. And I am not speaking from a point of chagrin here - I own my own home and am glad that it is valued at what it is now, but I also know that it is crazy, and really, should housing prices be going up at something like $100,000 per year?? Because that is what is happening here...
Excuse me, but I meant what you said. With population growth it's easier to have GDP growth. If population is flat, you actually need to make ppl more productive: wages need to increase, company profits, etc.

With newcomers, even if productivity per person decreases you still can have GDP growth.
You're underestimating Russia ridiculously.

Yes. Which kind of journalist write these pieces anyway?

IMO 3 things can happen in the future:

1) New media becomes the elite's puppet just like old media.

2) New technology will disrupt and destroy old and currently new media and create decentralized social media where fake news will be the norm and the elites will lose control of information.

3) New uncensored platform appears to appeal to a general need of people wanting to see what they want to see which again reopens the debate.

The first is more likely than the second. But for the first time in a very long time the second option has a chance.

I have occasionally billed for time spent in the bathtub. I didn't go into the tub expecting to be paid for it, but once in a while I have a eureka moment, get out, write down a solution to a long standing/hard problem, bill a half hour for it, and go back to the tub.

It's rare, and I only bill it when it was genuinely valuable, but it's not totally out of the question!
It does in the civil context, but not in the criminal context, which seems precisely right.

In the criminal context, the government is trying to punish you with jail.
Actual deprivation of liberty.
In such cases, we require they make be able to make their case without you saying you did it.

In the civil context, you can avoid saying you did it if it would cause you to possibly be convicted of a crime, but unlike the above, there is no possibility of deprivation of liberty. As such, if you do try to avoid saying you did it, people are allowed to use it to make their case that you did it.

I think I overused

exactly. But, imo, you should do that in one point. Only then you can learn from mistakes, and learning from mistakes is the best learning. At least for me. Same in real life. Many examples, here's one: I'm confident and careful with ultrasharp cutting tools. But only because I cut myself bad a couple of times: before that I was more reckless even though I thought I was doing ok. Also others telling me to be careful had no effect whatsoever.

What’s New in Docker 17.03 Volume Plugin Architecture and Specification?
AHB... thanks. Now I have a name for the thing I hate. This plus LED lights... man what a bad combination for everyone else on the road. I just assumed "the damn kids" were driving rude, didn't realize it was crappy tech that wasn't set to turn the high-beams off correctly the way a human would when they saw an oncoming car.

I'm in the same boat as you man... I'm buying Visine by the gallon and just hoping that how dry my eyes get after seeing bright lights at night isn't some kind of warning sign I'll get eye cancer or need glasses soon... getting old is only slightly preferable to the alternative. (=
Put enough people in proximity and you'll create that downtown.

Having lived in high(ish)- and low-density developments, the biggest difference is that in higher density, you walk ... a few blocks and there is at least some level of commercial activity. In low density ... you travel at least a mile, often several. And even the old town centers are evicerated -- commerce is on boulevard strips (and now is fading fast even there).

Small rural towns have a WalMart, Love's, Sonic, and a boarded-up downtown.

Even Silicon Valley, with its staggering home values, barely has the density to support a marginal commercial district -- Castro, California Ave., University Ave., and Santa Cruz Ave. in Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Menlo Park, respectively, come to mind. Yes, there's some retail and activity there, but it's only modestly functional.

In older and more compact places which haven't entirely died, you'll find that density, and it works. It's almost always some sort of tourist destination these days, in the United States, though.

> None of it put any infrastructure for the long-term access of space into place, or anything to make future moon landings easier.

This is not entirely fair. The actual landings (which did teach us a lot about the moon) were just the tip of an iceberg. Consider project Gemini [1] for example. A dozen missions and several astronaut-weeks of space time to get hang of such consepts as rendezvous and docking of two spacecraft and extra vehicular activity, all of utmost importance in modern space exploration. Much of the hardware developed for the Apollo program was also very versatile, as demonstrated by, for example, the Skylab program [2]. A lot more mileage could have been extracted from the investment by means of the Apollo Aplications Program [3] had it not been killed to make way for the STS (I'm simplifying the history somewhat on this point).

"Legally it doesn't imply anything. Innocent unless proven guilty.

This is wrong in the civil context.
'''The Nagel question then, is the fact that I experience vision a certain way really an essential aspect of "what it's like to be me?"''' It is an essential aspect of what it is like to be you. (However, there is an ambiguity here about temporal scope. What it is precisely like to be me now is to have precisely the experience I am having now, and what it is like to be me these days is to have the kinds of experiences I have these days, and what it is like to be me over my whole life is to have a similar pattern of experience to me over a whole life.) And it isn't an essential aspect of what it is to be you. (No one would claim that Mary becomes a different person when she sees red for the first time. This is compatible with the claim that, because of the nature of personal identity, it is impossible for a person to undergo certain very radical changes in the nature of their conscious experience.)

'''Or is my consciousness a "further fact"... something running in the background of all my senses, no matter how they are wired (or rewired) over time?''' Your senses are the very faculties that allow the world to world to produce your conscious experience, so it is odd to frame the "hard problem" of consciousness in this way.

In general, neuroplasticity is sort of interesting for the understanding of consciousness, but it seems arguable that in the tongue experiment you are just experiencing the same qualia you have always experienced; it isn't like seeing colors for the first time.

No metro area is slowed down by bicycles. The longest a commute can be practical by bicycle (by practical I mean for the average, street/work clothes wearing person riding nearly every day) is under ten miles. You're still in the heavily congested car travel radius of any metro at that distance anyway, and bicycle traffic does not impede motor traffic what so ever.
Transport speed increases the feasible size of a city. That size could be to fit more people in, or it could be bigger houses, or whatever; but it effectively creates room for some form of growth, just like a big tree needs a thick trunk.
I don't get how it is impartial. The fact is that the public can read it. It's not his opinion.
A huge, global, shared state makes it much harder to have an arbitrary number of a component, compared to each instance of the component holding its own state.

It's also a lot of boilerplate when you just want to add a simple toggle to some component.

There is a spectrum of what people call "fake news" ranging from:

1. Complete fiction presented as fact up to push a narrative [1]

2. Reporting on conspiracy theories as fact, presenting circumstantial evidence as hard evidence.

3. Intentionally misleading by cherry-picking statistics/data/etc [2][3]

4. Taking things out of context to paint a picture of a person that doesn't exist [4]

5. Criticizing someone's words rather than their position to construct a straw man (most character assassination pieces do this)

6. Presenting biased reporting on stories

7. Only presenting stories that paint a story of the world that the author agrees with

The first is unequivocally fake news. Any source that reports a story like this should be suspect, and any that doesn't issue a retraction should be ignored.

The second is what the mainstream media pins the Alex Jones type on, calling them fake news.

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th are usually the tactics of what people call "alternative media," but almost all legacy media companies use these tactics, at least occasionally. This is why WSJ, CNN, WaPo, etc often get the fake news label from the alternative media and other critics. If fake news is defined as fiction presented as fact, then it's not unfair to label these tactics as fake news.

The last two are just punditry and audience pandering, and the only ones calling them "fake news" are partisans that can't stand partisan viewpoints from the other side.
