I think Microsoft's research is somewhat proving/showing that we will always be multi-modal in input schemes, for the very least for accessibility reasons. A person might not be physically capable of making an accurate enough gesture, whether that is due to disability as one example or tiredness/exhaustion as another. On the flipside, a person may struggle with a controller but have no difficulty making extremely accurate gestures...

Speech, gestures, touch, controllers, keyboards, mice, trackpads, trackballs, everything else in the giant spectrum of input devices, all have different pros/cons and different accessibility. A failure often in sci-fi virtual reality is that everyone magically switches to a single mode of input, when even computing today suggests that every mode of input may be welcome (or even necessary) to users. VR/AR doesn't shift those accessibility needs as some imagine.

The interesting thing is that AR/MR suggest new input modes as well. There's a reverse skeumorphism that becomes more apparent in AR, along the lines of: in real life to accomplish a task I might turn some knob and that knob has seen decades of being the right tool for that task, why can't the AR respond to that knob as well. As AR/MR become more common and you start to see more "reality" in computing bleeding in from the other side, digital objects responding to physical ones, I think you'll start to see an expansion of what it even means to provide input to a machine. You might think of that as gesture controls, at least at first glance and some that may simply be advanced enough gesture recognition, but I think there's going to be a lot of bleed-over into the IoT space for custom controllers and sensors and touch surfaces. Some of those are going to look like existing physical objects, but extending their footprints deeper into "digital spaces" (many already are to one extent or another: your car's steering wheel, as one among many examples, may already have a digital footprint of some sort). I wouldn't be surprised if some of that leads to entirely novel seeming input devices in specific subdomains of human behavior.
> One commentator suggested it's enabled by default on the majority of Windows machines (of that I am sceptical).

It's been a while since I used windows but there used to be such a thing as the administrative share.

So I don't find that hard to believe at all.
I think it's inherent in the way markets work, or more specifically, how people operate in a mostly free market.

On the one hand, the market remains this way where people with money are more easily able to make large sums of money through investment, by making their money do the work. The system in this sense is self-perpetuating, but strictly speaking, doesn't have to be this way.

On the other hand, as a thought experiment, imagine a magic wand was waved and all capital and resources were evenly distributed across the national or even global population. The world would still be left with an inequality of people's ability to earn each others money. Those with good health, savvy business sense, in-demand skills, and knowledge of production would quickly start down the path of quickly earning, while others are left only spending. I don't think it would take very long to end up right back where we are today.
Neat. Many questions. I assume you have some database of path matches for the theme/plugin js/CSS files or similar?

How extensive is the database? Just free themes/plugins from one source, or popular themes from several sources? Paid ones too?

Any namespace clashes where you have to dig deeper to tell which theme or plugin it is?

Were you able to fully automate the creation and updating of the signature database?
If I understand correctly, it means that the math no longer fully conforms to every aspect of the IEEE spec. You lose some things like bits of precision in some operations, graceful underflow (where you keep as many bits as you can), and so on.

These rules are unnecessary - for most problems. If you have a problem where you need them, though, your calculations will silently produce garbage without them.

I think (but I am not sure) that most of the time, if you need full IEEE arithmetic for your problem, you know that you need it.
Very nice. I suppose it works by checking for js/css embeds and extracting names from the path?
I prefer the information to be given by a neutral third party.
The other fixed memory solution that is specifically mentioned suffers from a defect that allows you to go up to 2X past the rate limit by sending 1X on both sides of an aggregation boundary. I thought readers might appreciate an alternative that is also fixed memory but that doesn't suffer from this defect. And sure, the fixed value is larger than other solutions (probably not larger than the Redis solution) but it's likely optimal if you care about being sure the rate limit is never exceeded within your given time interval. YMMV, I am making no claims about universal applicability.

Finally, yes, it's not Redis -- but it could be exposed as a service if you wanted that pretty easily. Operational complexity will exist regardless and depending on your organization different solutions will be appealing for different reasons.
>> Typically someone paying $2k for a ticket is likely in business class, and they'd only ever bump someone from economy.

That is not true. There are cases of business and first class being bumped (http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-united...).
> Few companies intentionally expose SMB to the internet.

True, but in your average coffee shop setup if a user has SMB running you could reach them via a local IP if it isn't firewalled off on the machine itself.
Nowhere. $50k a year family probably only pays $5k a year all in including ss.
> And I get a bit tired of all the outcry when much of such is basically coming from the people who made it this way -- through the governments they've voted for, or not voted for, as the case may be.

Not even so much that: we, as passengers, are in part responsible as well, due to the vast majority of us picking flights through only one metric: ticket price. Economy passengers are not willing to pay higher ticket prices for better service, and yet still complain about baggage, food, and entertainment fees, and fewer route choices and consolidation. Economy fares have been a race to the bottom for decades now. You get what you pay for. If you want to pay less, you'll get less.

That doesn't excuse United breaking their contract, and it doesn't excuse the excessive use of force, but it does put it in context.
I have thought the same thing, because it would match the order of other statements (insert, update, and delete) which begin with the source.

In fact I would put the select after the where clause:

from t
where x = 'y'
select a, b, c
order by a, b, c
I highly recommend Jeff Hawkins' (the founder of Numenta) book On Intelligence to anyone interested in anomaly detection and AI in general. Although HTMs haven't been as successful as neural networks, his concept of what intelligence is is very lucid and well-reasoned. Even if he turns out to be wrong about the technology side of things, I'm happy to have learned a thing or two about the neocortex.
There are contradictory reports [1] about that.

In general, it looks like even in the dirtiest states, driving an electric car is about as efficient as a 40mpg car.

The argument also goes that electricity generation only gets greener so your electric car actually pollutes less over its lifetime, unlike a conventional gasoline powered car.

If its anything like Sydney, Australia then you should look at the quality of the houses too - not just the median house price. I remember looking at houses in Sydney and given the size, quality, and look they would cost half as much here in the Bay area. They can be tiny, tiny even for our standards and cost over 1 mil.

> History tells us as these budgets grow uncontrollably sooner or later the empire runs out of cash to pay the soldier.

In which nation has that happened? The U.S. certainly has had more serious problems in its defense institutions, and its level of defense spending is relatively low now, relative to post-WWII budgets, and especially relative to GDP.
That part of the field is still in exploration phase. The reason is that you can mix run-time checks with no checks for performance enhancement. Static analysis and other schemes are used to prove specific code doesn't need checks. The rest get checks automatically. Performance varies per scheme applied with overhead going down significantly over past decade. We don't yet know the answer on just how much spatial or temporal safety we can get at what cost.

It's certainly good for beginners who are looking to get into competitive programming. The problems can be somewhat challenging to someone not familiar with algorithms or computer science fundamentals I think. The code for solutions often isn't complex at all, but they typically involve applying some sort of algorithm to a made-up (often funny) real world problem. You're not building a to-do list app, you're writing algorithms.

It's sort of like a word problem in high school math. The math itself is often just addition and multiplication, the hard part is figuring out which math to use and which numbers to apply it to.

All of the old problems are on the CodeJam website though so you can go check them out and give them a go!
Prefix this with "It's a 64-bit CPU pretending to be..." and you've got it right.

It's not a manipulation, it's acknowledgement of the reality that one party has the power and the other doesn't. Why have a leader who cannot make decisions without taking a vote?

No one is trying to make the argument in this thread that United doesn't owe money to the passenger for kicking him off. The question is whether they are allowed to ask the police to remove him.
That's great to hear; it is an amazing country after all! I always joke with my family that if I could choose my country of origin, it would be Sweden! My parents (originally Tunisian) usually end up nodding in agreement :)
The thing that trips me out is I kept seeing opposite claims in R&D: undefined behavior can improve performance a lot; using type-directed compilation can improve performance a lot. Most compilers rely on undefined behavior for aggressive optimizations. I wonder what the cutting-edge is on opposite end for type-safe languages and type-directed optimizations. FLINT for SML is the first one I saw like that:

http://flint.cs.yale.edu/flint/publications/tcps.html
C'mon. Which exactly "trail" you mean? Trails around bay are not exactly same as other outdoor trails.

Closest "real" hiking trails start along Skyline Boulevard - there's plenty of them but it is not close.
No, that's not the right check at all.

The majority of those optimizations aren't taking advantage of undefined behaviour. Neither GCC nor clang provide a simple way of getting "no undefined behaviour" optimisations.

Unfortunately, in practice it's often hard to define what that would actually mean. For example, fairly simple optimiations like optimising:

int silly(int i) {
int y = 3;
int x[4];
x[i] = 4;
return y;
}

To just:

return 3;

Technically relies on undefined behaviour -- if you compile this without optimisation then on my machine passing silly(7) returns 4 (as x[7] happens to write over y). So the question becomes, where is the "line" we want to draw on not allowing undefined behaviour optimisations? It turns out unfortunately in practice everyone seems to have a different line on what should be allowed.

> Until then, it is safer to continue with the general understanding that snopes is not biased.

Are you serious? You think it's safer to consider them not biased?

That's just bizarre. Snopes is a business. Their purpose is to make money by generating clicks. Why in the world would you consider them some kind of unbiased, altruistic truth-seekers? Because they say so?

That's the most unsafe understanding you could have, because it leaves you completely vulnerable to deception. Place your trust in them and you let them have their way with your understanding of the world. You're like putty in their hands.

> You can't just toss shit over the wall and hope for the best, man.

Well, you're nailing it to the wall and calling it truth, man. At least he realizes what he's doing.
Do what I did - move back home somewhere cheap, keep your US job. Living in Dunedin on my silicon valley salary, as I have for the past 15 years or so (I lived in the Bay Area for 20 years), is a good place to be, trading my over-inflated Bay Area house for a good mortgage free one here helps too.
That has to be the most clear case of victim blaming ever. Even United by now has decided that they are at fault and not the passenger. It took a bit of doing to convince them, wonder what it will take for you to be convinced?
I volunteer to define sufficiently large, and I say larger than 0 is sufficiently large. Why ? Because a big player can buy or control any smaller player, so if you want protection from the bigger ones, you need either to protect from everyone or change the way corporation work. I'd suggest going back to earlier times when corporations did not have the same rights as humans and were of public interest, or maybe remove the stock exchange, or limit gambling to banks' own money instead of using deposits.
Thanks!

You assume correct, that is one of the methods we are using.

We also look for signatures in the code that certain plugins output. For example Yoast SEO usually adds a HTML comment at the end of the page identifying itself.
It's hard to distinguish "lobbyists" from "a group of concerned citizen activists advocating for a cause they care about". Any rules imposed on the former would also affect the latter.

More robust restrictions on the flow of money from lobbyists to campaigns and superPACs could be an effective deterrent on the worst influences of lobbyists, though.

The Living Computer Museum + Labs has just opened it's new exhibit From the garage to the iMac: 1976-1999 and it's a beauty. All the Apple machines and lots of other contemporary machines from the dawn of the personal computer. Lath Carlson (Executive Director), Museum Founder Paul Allen, and a host of engineers and volunteers deserve kudos for putting together an outstanding exhibit. Unlike most museum exhibits, the living computer machines actually work! If you can swing a tour of the back room, you'll come back with a severe case of computer envy. The coming attractions menu is stunning.

> a convicted fraudster, who was making money through deliberate violation of copyright

Violating copyright is not a crime in NZ, neither is it when former felons do it.
Here's a twist: they're the same thing.

Most seasoned security folks know that the way to backdoor something is to leave an innocent bug in it. Plausible deniability, impossible to prove it was a backdoor because it looks just like any other exploitable bug.

Not that I'm suggesting that the NSA did leave these as backdoors. I don't believe that to be the case. But if you want one, that is how you do it.

If you ever find a blatant backdoor in some software, you're either dealing with an amateur, or someone who wanted to be found in order to send a message/misdirect you.

I think the key is going to be pairing the extra human bandwidth you get from VR controllers, with these new types of generative networks that are emerging out of machine learning research. I'm playing around with this idea for my next VR experience after Soundboxing. But I haven't made great progress on autoregressive acoustic sample based generators like wavenet, which I had hoped would work better for this.

You won't get me to hand it over that easily XD

Seriously though, I think a lot of sales and leadership skills are unethical forms of manipulation. By this I mean covert or implicit triggers to change behavior. I'm fine with bargaining strategies, even aggressive ones - I don't enjoy bargaining but it's honestly self-interested conflict, if you see what I mean. Where it stops being ethical is in the deliberate use of ambiguity to create informational asymmetry.

In the example above, I'm very wary of propositions like 'we need to move on, will you take a gamble with me on this?' What exactly does the proposition of a gamble mean here? It has implications of win and loss, but the sense of urgency and the lack of clarity could mean that if the gamble is a win the proponent will take all the credit, whereas if it's a loss I'll be blamed for not having spotted the pitfalls.

Of course you can't infer too much from a single example out of context, but the idea of 'privatizing the gains and socializing the losses' is sadly widespread and I have encountered many decision-makers who seem to operate on such a principle.

Of course it's natural to want to take a decision and move on rather than get bogged down in many situations. When I'm in charge I like to do this by saying 'I want X, if it doesn't work I'll take responsibility and we'll do Y instead.' Obviously not a brilliant business strategy from many people's point of view :-)
They should get rid of the vouchers / credit options, just cold hard cash on the spot, no 'gotchas' because they'll stand there yelling $800 but when you want to collect they hand you a bunch of monopoly money with all kinds of restrictions.
Did you learn about those problems from doing your taxes, or does doing your taxes just remind you? If it's the latter, a prefiling system would serve almost the same purpose.
The article also goes on to say (in essence) that even if you assume that United was in the wrong on this point, it constitutes a breach of contract on United's part. At that point, Dao is free to sue for breach of contract...but United is free to ask him to leave.

I'm not justifying United's actions (or that of the police)...just saying that Dao unfortunately probably wouldn't have a legal argument against being asked to leave.

Here's the thing about Type 1 diabetics- we'll take what we can get. No one caters to us because we're such a small subset of diabetics we may as well be a rounding error. Every treatment/study/drug you see in the media is aimed at Type 2 diabetics. Glucose meters are about the only thing we both benefit from.
Curious why schroot instead of something like "systemd-nspawn -D /the/chroot/dir". Might offer a little more flexibility in configuration. I guess, though, schroot allows for full non-root use, perhaps that's the big driver.

Someone saying they "avoid hiring nonconformists" is entirely the opposite of what this tries to achieve; that's another kind of cultural problem, and a good sign of a workplace to avoid.

This is just about selecting for people who treat others decently. That's not an unreasonable criteria, and hopefully not one you'd have a problem with.

Avoiding/removing toxic people is entirely different than avoiding noncomformism and selecting for "culture fit"; if anything, removing the toxic people helps clear the way for more diverse teams and companies, and organizations that are just more fun to work in.
