We've known this for some time, but this is additional evidence to the notion of our brain processing and prioritizing which information gets stored in short-term vs. long term memory.

This also explains deja vu, but possibly not as many on this thread have tried to explain.

I've written about this about two years ago, the leading theory of deja vu being that your brain processes and stores an experience in the long term memory before it's had a chance to properly store it in short term. By the time the short term memory has caught-up, the event feels already lived, because it's already been processed and stored in long term memory.

At least, that's one theory.

You're quoting the dealer now. Not exactly the most reliable source.

There was another article about this a few days ago (it's linked somewhere in one of the comments) and the basic description was "can't do any repairs in place" not "i want to overclock my engine".

I've been wondering about this for a few years now and am glad to hear at least one other person is too. What do we do with our citizenry now that the "union" type jobs are gone?

A (poor) idea I have is to train people to do start-ups as a 'day job' with a vast social safety net to pick people up that fail at them. Just like HS is today meant for factory workers, you could change HS to make it meant for start-ups and the like. Its not a good idea, I know.

The only other idea I have is to pay people to read books all day, or learn in some other way. Basically endless schooling.

Anyone got anything else? Because these aren't gonna work well, but I think they will work in some little way.

There seems to be conflicting info on whether the lights themselves support ZigBee Light Link (ZLL) or only ZigBee HA. Has anybody tested this?

Also I'm curious if they're still ZigBee 2 or if they're ZigBee 3.0, which essentially merges those standards together.
Of course you do, they publicize themselves by contributing to open source...
You're being extremely critical in this entire thread. Tell me: How is having this field, unnecessary or not, a risk? You want me to take the site offline. But it's providing value to my own business, and apparently other people find it interesting as well. It's merely a REST API for an existing open source project. And whether people use the library or the REST API is the same from a risk perspective from their point of view. I'm providing value here, and am happy to run the risk you're advising against. So I will not take it offline.
It is not. This is why I ended my comment with "if such things matter to you".
I did a lot of different stuff in my lifetime. I don't expect anything anymore and let things come as they come. I don't claim to always know a placebo but i am 100% certain this was real.

> Why is South Korea (IQ 105) making cars and designing smartphones when it was poorer than Kenya (IQ 80) 2 generations ago?

Well, for one, it had a superpower building it up to have a strategically placed ally next to China.
> it seems clear that the distinction was made by those who don't get their hands dirty at the expense of those who do

That doesn't seem clear to me at all.
While the effort in general should be appreciated (especially open sourcing the code!), I'm doubtful that the REST API has practical use.

"I calculated the VAT for the products I'm selling using that one website" is just too much of a liability risk for a business to take. Who do you hold liable in the event that the calculation was wrong?
Is this completely allowed? I'm probably misinformed, but I thought either certain debugging calls or certain kinds of virtualisation were disallowed by Apple. The fact that this kind of tutorial using virtualbox exists makes me think that someone is trying to work around something. I thought you weren't allowed to debug parts of macOS. Are there absolutely no limits, legal or technical?

This assumes your judgement on which stocks you think are going to be lousy is better than the market's overall.

There might be rare occasions when that's justified (that company had major organizational issues when you worked there last month that aren't widely known, your technical knowledge means you know that hyped product probably doesn't work). But the rest of the time, you're just as likely to lose money overestimating how lousy the stock is as gain it.

The $100 chip might well be the one you (and many other stock pickers) think is trending downwards until it pulls off that unexpected achievement.

That said, you're right that excluding from a portfolio is a lower volatility strategy and much safer than shorting the "lousy" stocks. If I have reason to believe $TECHSTOCK is about to have their lunch eaten by new competitors and leave it out of my portfolio I slightly outperform the market if I'm right, and don't lose my shirt if Google buys it.
When selling physical goods B2C within the european union the VAT rules of the seller's country apply. That means shoes shipped from Germany to Ireland come with the german VAT of 19%.

However the sevice discussed in this submission deals with VAT for digital goods and services. Selling shoes, regardless if done via internet, phone or fax, is not considered a sale of a digital product.

I'm sorry but do the rich really work that hard ?

First of all, for the rich work is optional, which means they get to choose the work they do. That's why rich people tend to be actors and artists. Maybe at times they do work hard, but it's for their vanity and mental health not of necessity. Their hard work isn't why they're rich, they were born rich.

Rarely do you find rich people cleaning old-peoples arses in hospitals.

Most hard-working normal people earn just enough to get by and most rich people were born that way.
Honestly, I think the statement, 'XML should NEVER be used, period,' is true as well: for any use case I can imagine there are superior alternatives to XML. Even if you have to interface with other services using XML, just use SXML (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SXML) in your own code and marshal to XML at the very last instant.

Ultimately, XML was a colossal mistake carried out to perfection.
Largely agree, but I think there is a common narrative. It's just one that many people believe (perhaps correctly) they can't live out. The narrative is: "develop new-economy skills, move to where the jobs are, change employers every couple of years until you hit the jackpot." Many believe that they don't have, and will never have, those skills. That's a change from the "go west" (or "go across the Atlantic") narrative. Many believe that the risk and disruption is too much. That's a change from the "work thirty years for a big company" narrative. With both of these negatives in play, people feel that the narrative doesn't apply to them. It's a great story about how other people get rich, leaving them behind, and that becomes a negative in their minds.
Snappa: Bootstrapping your way to thousands of paying customers
I don't think there is currently any way to know this objectively. That's why I framed it as a matter of belief. Based on what we know about the similarities of animal nervous systems (including humans) and the dissimilarities of plant nervous systems (so to speak), I personally believe that animals are sentient to one extent or another but I find it hard to imagine that plants would be.
Insurance companies don't pick up tabs, they spread out risk, and make a profit in the end if they've calculated the right probability of failure. The insured parties, together, are paying the tab, plus the profit for the insurance company. Only by inspecting a device and its software can an insurance company calculate a reasonable estimate of the risk of breach, and thereby reduce the risk of unprofitably to a tolerable level.

That sort of condescension is exactly why recent elections have turned out the way they have. Shocking as it may sound, it would seem the public isn't remotely persuaded that their interests are what you say they are.
I imagine we have simply developed a very refined understanding of how human understanding can be manipulated. These tools started as a means to control basic human functions (and the ability to live in large groups) and then were refined for political & economic benefit in the post-war period.

We're probably 'enjoying' a new wave of this development with persistent media and I imagine if the promises of AR/VR come to pass that we will see even more severe divisions between individuals/communities/countries understandings of what's "real".

Similar to your point - with some conspiracy theories I get the emotional reasons for believing in them. Global warming denial, 9/11 was done by the government, etc. I get that on an emotional level the reality is pretty hard to handle, so the conspiracy theories are a sort of security blanket. However ridiculous they are, I can see how they are appealing on some level.

But what's the emotional advantage of believing in a flat earth? And who is the imagined evil enemy who benefits from making us all think the Earth is a spheroid?

The data for the API comes from the most widely used open source library on the subject [1]. It has 418 stars, is used by lots of people and is continually receiving pull requests / input from users. I bet you that it is not easy to find another entity (be it a person, an organisation or a piece of software) that knows as much about the problem.

Of course, you are right about liability. You can sue your accountant. But I assume it will be more difficult for an open source project.

Deis gave sponsorship money to Jeff Lindsay at some point to work on things that benefitted the docker paas ecosystem - think registrator or herokuish. At no point did any entity named "Dokku" get any money out of this, and Deis being acquired has no bearing on the project whatsoever.

We do, however, wish them luck and are happy to see them succeed.

Is it allowed?

Legally maybe not.

Really it is on Apple to attempt to prevent this. Not on the hacker. There isn't many ways an OS vendor and prevent their product from being virtualized. If Apple was smart they'd maybe clean up OSX to have a decent cloud offering.

But alias nope.
OWASP Top 2017 RC1 [pdf]
From my perspective (having played in local acts), the decline of the local musician career more points to a larger combination of converging trends:

- Increasing technology (eg: there is much less need for certain careers. An example is the local mid-grade demo studio; these have largely closed with computers able to easily exceed the old demo studio's quality)

- Corporate homogenization. In the 1990s, radio stations merged and became more national. This resulted in stations paying less attention to local markets. The same can be said for record labels. The same can be said for local music venues,
which in some places are also in decline. (https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/sep/09/the-slow-deat...) Ergo: there is less room for "regional hits" and regional music scenes.

- A huge increase in entertainment choice, lowering overall demand.

- Various entertainment trends that hurt certain types of musicians more than others (eg: In pop, today there is much less of a focus on band-oriented music, replaced with DJ/electronic type music)

None of this had much to do with IP. In fact, streaming / Napster / etc. may actually help some local musicians a touch (particularly in more niche genres), by allowing musicians to gain exposure in a way that is outside the standard corporate music environment (replacing the old tape trading circles of before).

Of course, exposure alone doesn't pay the bills. And there's certainly a case that streaming / Napster / etc. hurt the income of established musicians that relied heavily on album sales for their paychecks. But to me, it's strange when local musicians focus on only that (and yes I have heard the same from some). That route of income didn't really apply even in pre-Internet times, until you got "signed". (And if you weren't biz savvy, you could easily get screwed by that route too, see Albini's famous rant -- http://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-problem-with-music )

That's pretty sweet. I have a mild interest in boating. Would you say that it's a bad idea to mix a software engineer with a boat on the open sea?
The VAT for all costs you incur can be deducted, regardless of whether they're fixed or variable. If you're operating at a loss or if you do a lot of business with places where you don't have to charge VAT, it's not impossible to have VAT owed to you rather than the other way around.

Might it affect your profitability? Definitely possible. But it won't eat up 20% of your revenue or require you to charge 20% more to break even.
That might slow down downloads from other pages or processes, but as far as the download from the current page goes (which uses multiplexed requests and responses over a single connection) I don't see how that's any worse than it'd be without server push.

In the worst case scenario with server-push that you described, the server decides to push content the client already has cached before pushing content the client doesn't have, and begins transmitting that redundant content before the client has a chance to cancel the push. Once the client receives push promises for the content it doesn't need, it can immediately send a request to cancel the download of those resources. Once those cancellation requests reach the server, it immediately stops transmitting the resources the client has cached, and starts transmitting the data the client actually needs.

Contrast this with the same scenario without server push, where the client parses the HTML for the main page to determine what resources it needs, then send requests for those items which the server must receive before it starts transmitting them. In both cases a round-trip from the server to the client and back is needed before the server can start transmitting the necessary assets, but without server push the client needs to download and parse the main page before it can start telling the server which resources it needs, whereas with server push it can send cancellation notices before the current page is downloaded or parsed.

> The healthy technology market will force IoT manufacturers to take security seriously.

What? It might force companies not to bleed user data, yeah - people got pretty upset about the dolls spying on their children. But "enabling a DDoS" is a textbook externality. It doesn't hurt the device buyers appreciably, most of them don't even know it's happening, but it causes lots of harm to someone who didn't contract with the company.

More broadly: do you see any evidence at all that the market is actually solving this? It's pleasant to say an efficient market would handle this, but the market we actually have is one where people sell broken products to customers who pay before the flaws are revealed, then move on to a new company name if their reputation gets bad enough. Add in overseas production so that you can't even sue if the seller violates a contract, and the real-world market isn't making any progress on this.

Essentially you could use import the /gameboy module, write your own shell as a WoW extension, toss the graphics onscreen somewhere, and optionally deal with audio by setting the appropriate callback.
Puzzles Collector, 0.16.4 released
I have only ever been able to use IntelliJ at home (where I buy my own copy) on my own projects. Everywhere else it's Netbeans (meh) or Eclipse (blech).

I remember I was once told to integrate an ancient DSP library into a new development project (despite more modern alternatives being available that would have met the actual requirements just fine). This library looked like it was originally written on VMS (little hints of VAX-ness here and there), later ported to Solaris, and finally ported to Linux. It was a mix of C, C++, and Fortran, and it required the Intel C and Fortran compilers in order to build (no, gcc/gfort wouldn't work) along with some of the icc runtime libraries in order to actually run.

My employer at the time absolutely refused to purchase the Intel Compiler. But expected me to get the job done. I can't remember exactly what I did to make it work, but I do remember it was a giant kludge. That entire project was an underfunded/understaffed/mismanaged nightmare.
