Given Tao's rotating frame:

* For each M-mass, the centrifugal-vector lies along the x-axis.

* For each m-mass, the centrifugal-vector lies along the z-axis.

* For each centrifugal-vector, the magnitude is proportional to "the point-mass's distance from the disk's axis-of-rotation (the y-axis)". Since the m-masses move along a unit circle in the yz-plane, their magnitudes vary.

E.g. an m-mass which starts at (0, .9, .1) will accelerate towards (0, 0, 1) then deccelerate towards (0, -.9, .1). Then it will retrace its path. This results in oscillation between (0, .9, .1) and (0, -.9, .1) along a semi-circle in the yz-plane.

N.b. no oscillation will occur if an m-mass starts at exactly (0, 1, 0).
I think he means there wasn't a bunch of layoffs where a whole department was let go or the company had fallen on hard times and needed to drastically cut the workforce. So the gp was laid off it was personal rather than structural. You could say that technically the person was fired without cause but 'fired' and 'laid off' don't have any legal meaning, an employment lawyer would likely just say the person's employment was terminated without cause.
As an employer I do not care how old you are or if you know your "true" worth or not. All I care about is how you are going to contribute to my bottom line with the minimum of fuss. If you can do this at 100 I will hire you.

My experience is older workers are much better (and more productive) than young workers if you can provide them a stable work environment. If the nature of your business is such that this is impossible, then most older workers will struggle and blame the boss for everything. This does not make for a fun time if you are the manager.
jeez, so much criticism. if it's not your cup of tea then move on.

The natural numbers {0, 1, 2, ...} under addition are an example of a monoid which is not a group. Another example is natural numbers under multiplication.

An example which may speak to a programmer more: the set of functions which take a 32-bit int as argument and return a 32-bit int, where the operation is composition of functions. The identity is the identity function. Since not all functions are invertible, this monoid is not a group.
I'd imagine it'd be faster since multiple cores can be used for requests.

So basically what you say is that students can get diplomas in computer science and several countries can afford to spend $100,000. This hardly makes a case for any country being able to match the US capability and exposed acts of hacking.

I sincerely doubt that a country could pull out a stuxnet with a couple $100,000 0day and a hundreds of people with computer science diplomas. There's a reason stuxnet was almost instantly pinned on the US and that reason is that apart from maybe China and Russia (who seem to have fun hacking the US and not getting caught or exposed) no other country can match the US.
> My bet is on micro lenses so small that the camera becomes a flat rectangle taking up most of one side of the phone, along with some crazy insane software processing.

As someone who does research on inverse signal recovery, what can be recovered nowadays is absolutely mindblowing. I work on the group synchronization problem, which aims to extract an underlying ground truth signal from noisy, shifted copies of that signal. In my case, I am extracting atomic environments from noisy rotated and permuted copies of an "archetypal" atomic environment, but I imagine the same technique applied to photography would produce stunning results. You would be surprised with the amount of noise for which you can still recover the true signal.

See https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.03464 for an idea of what's become possible recently.
I wonder if they have considered moving to elixir since some of the problems they have highlighted are resolved in elixir.

That would be easier for new employees and they could still keep their Erlang code base until they make the full switch.
Have you taken a look at it in person, or just the specs? I can see how a 720p resolution might seem low, but if you try it out in person it's actually quite remarkable, particularly if you've tried other portable gaming systems like the 3DS or Vita. It's leaps and bounds above them.

LensBaby makes some lenses that tilt and some that have selective focus. Canon and Nikon and third party manufacturers make DSLR tilt-shift lenses that provide some of the movements possible with a technical camera. Typically, all the DSLR tilt-shift lenses are compatible with full frame sensors.
The article is a bit light on substance. The author is writing about a hypothesis that the researchers have emphasized is still in development, and includes (to his credit) what seems to me a pretty strong critique of their work from a statistician at another university. And throws in some anecdotes (which I find more compelling - the "got injured at work, lost my job, lost my home" story is one we hear all too often in the US, because there's no safety net).
I took a lot of pictures with my iphones (I've switched to a n Android phone recently). Most pictures are good when being seen on phones (especially on a Retina Macbook :D), but it's almost impossible to print them on small media (4R , A4 papers).

Exactly, it's one of the coordination problems inherent in a free market economy. It can be ameliorated or patched through regulation, unionizing, or solved indirectly through industry shifts causing increased labor bargaining power in a given sector. Although the trend doesn't seem to be heading in the direction of increased demand for labor.

Countries have spied on each other forever, and any country that doesn't engage in such activities is run by fools. No, the Us would not go to war over another country spying on us, it would just expel the spies, though in an earlier era it might have shot them. We Europeans spy as much as anyone, and always have.

Espionage is an organizational reality. To pretend you don't have to care about such things is like being a tourist that wanders into the bad part of town flashing money everywhere and then expresses astonishment if their pocket is picked or they are otherwise taken advantage of.
From a gamers perspective, the peer-to-peer lobby system used in the CoD series is one of the worst things about it.

Japan already has such laws. They simply circumvent them and build more and more seven-elevens on agricultural land.
When I had less than 5yrs experience I used to ask these types of questions, thinking they showed the ability of a developer to reason out critical software issues. Then I met a guy who had practically memorized everything I could ask. He spit out answers so fast it was appallingly clear he was regurgitating answers from a book. This proved nothing about him and everything about me.

Today, I recognize that good software development owes nothing to data structure knowledge or obscure algorithms. This knowledge can't hurt but very few jobs or languages require you build a skip list from scratch. Instead, writing good software requires the ability to maintain a system, to debug problems, and to give constructive code review. That's it.

I've actually never seen "the system" 'work', in that I never willingly hire grads and almost none of my experienced staff have ever had a formal education. But then again I'm not doing hardcore algorithmic stuff in the valley.

My only point was that, at least in my experience and situation, school/'normal progression' means very little in reality. Aas such I don't think it can be used as any sort excuse for anyone's situation.

I was comprehensively failed by the education system in my country and it made no difference. Shit; having thay experience actually seems to be the trend that all the best people I've worked with share.

Smart people are smart people. Some keep going and end up as weird and twisted as us, and some don't.

He makes the point about UE having default large packages. Not a huge problem for desktop VR apps for vive and rift, but is a limiting factor.

That's a serious question.

I have fast wifi connectivity at home, at the local coffee shop, at my local bar, at the local libarary, etc.

I have a limited cell phone data plan, and I could download that app 16 times in a month for free.

For who is it a limiting factor to download a 191 megabyte app?

Old-timers who calculate how many multiples that is of the RAM of their first 8-bit home computer? The under- or non-developed world?

Or am I so spoiled that I don't even realie that 191
megabytes is a thing?

Wouldn't it be better to make the donation piece more like a secret ballot, i.e. make it hard for anyone to find out whom a given scientist funded? That would make quid pro quo arrangements less likely because one party wouldn't be able to determine if the other stuck to the agreement or cheated.
The problem for me as a reasonably educated patient (physics PhD, done some work in biological physics, amateur knowledge of medical literature which I enjoy reading) is that the "top" academically performing doctors leave a public track record of their expertise in the form of academic publications I can go through and evaluate. I fully realize that this doesn't necessarily (or even often) correlate with practical skills that determine patient outcomes, but at least it's a metric I can look at. With most doctors, there is no such metric, so I'm essentially playing the lottery. The salient question then becomes whether it's statistically better to play the lottery or go for the academically prominent doctors, and I'm not aware of any decent studies exploring that. Do you have a recommendation on how to approach that issue from the patient point of view?

Musk was quoted as saying “We actually did the calculations to figure out what it would take to transition the whole world to sustainable energy. You’d need 100 Gigafactories.”

I wonder what they actually calculated. You can measure/calculate the output of the factory in terms KWH of storage capacity produced daily. But what metric characterizes "the whole world" that you could then compare that number to in order to decide that 100 factories are enough?
Not from government actors, unless they're clueless.

I sold my old dslr and have been on the preorder list for light. Wish them the best but am on the fence for these reasons:

- the demo photos, like you mentioned have either a softness like you mentioned or colors that seem a bit too vibrant. Would like to see more examples of action photos, up close macros, and night shots.

- no stabilization - in their talk they mentioned this isn't practical and they'll sell a stick gimbal, though it seems odd when a smartphone has this.

- the delays, it took about a year longer than I initially expected (preorders are shipping this July)

- My own needs - I'm realizing I'm not that nuts of a photography enthusiast lately for the price of the camera.

There's also some hesitance when reading the founders mit technology review article where he hints that the end user will do more things in post with their first product until they leverage an fpga/asic for processing (I think they're currently using a snapdragon 820 with an fpga for triggering)

Still rooting for them though since I hated carrying even a micro 4:3 camera
So, unlike radio astronomy, it's not feasible yet to have multiple, smaller coherent telescopes? A phased array with magnitude and phase correction being applied to each telescope.

I agree for street and some kinds of landscape photography that the more compact mirrorless bodies have an ergonomic advantage.

However, for things like sports, events, and weddings, where you are carrying the pro f/2.8 zooms (which are about the same size and weight whether it is on Sony or Canikon) on multiple bodies, I find that the well-defined grips and balanced handling of the Canikon pro bodies (and the OVF rather than the EVF) are less fatiguing personally.
I agree 100%. I'm hoping that Disseminating these practice materials will eventually topple the whiteboard interview by exposing it's futility.
The other issue that people miss here is the physical board that the switch ASIC is on. People might want to google SerDes and XAUI. The simplified bit here is back in the day first 10G you had 4 x 3.25G lanes. So for example for the Fulcrum FM4000 (24x10G) you had 64 traces on the board, 4 to each port. For something like the Broadcom Trident+ which could do 64 ports of 10G you have 256 traces. For each 10G there are 4 and they have to line up to the nm on the board unless you wanted to use a PHY and / or retimers. Arista shipped the 1st PHYless design of this. Less parts, higher MTBF, less heat and also less latency (phy add latency). To do 40G you would need 16 of the 3.25 (yuk). Things moved to 4x10G lanes and you got 40G ports. With the 25G Ethernet the lanes moved to 4x25G so you get 100G ports. Anyway random stuff if anyone is interested. Yes I know I am mixing the Serdes and XAUI stuff but this is a simpler view just talking about the lanes from the chip. Google will give great answers if you want to dig deeper.
Country spy on each other is a couple steps down from what the NSA does.

> How about assassinating people you don't like on a foreign countries soil?

The US is famous for being a champion in this category, France under its current president also competes for appearing in the high score table, Israel is known for this too. But the US still wins because on top of the secret assassination programs and drones, contraction mercenaries to do the killing, financing local dissident to do the killings, it also invades countries and makes war which it's pretty much the only one doing, even north korea doesn't do that, maybe because they cannot afford the multi trillions of military spending the US does.

Rancher cluster in AWS under 2 minutes
Japan has a farmland abandonment problem due to elderly farmers retiring and their children not wanting to become farmers. There are documentaries, news articles, and even segments on prime time TV shows chronicling some of these families trying to bring in an "adopted son" from cities. Such a personal commitment, naturally, is a detriment for many.　Here is some demographic data published in a general public facing article by the Ministry of Agriculture [1]

Corporate ownership allows for legal structures and arrangements that introduces flexibility into this traditionally all-or-nothing arrangement. [2]

Also, corporate ownership structures allow farm operators to pool the risk and capital requirements of a larger scale operation. Business loans that limit personal liability in the event of insolvency is greatly preferable to personal loans when undertaking expansion and improvement towards the preexisting operation.

I'd appreciate it if you could explain to me how corporate ownership of farmland by virtue of corporate ownership alone would reduce land productivity, as you have asserted. While I certainly agree that factory farming methods have created problems with antibacterial and hormonal health, greenhouse gas production, etc., I have a difficultly seeing how such abusive practices would decrease land productivity, separate from the other problems they cause.

I thought people whose life is "centered around the work" don't usually have luxury of time to write quite lengthy blogposts of not work related stuff.
Yeah I had the same feeling; how could anyone writing something like an air traffic control system design it in such a way that some failure/exception in loading user settings causes the system to die?

This is probably a horrible mess of ancient java crap and the 5500 is just an arbitrary number that the store couldn't respond to in time before the app timed the con out; but having lived in mordor, a horrific data model which would enable this sort of thing to be a problem isn't too big of a stretch of the imagination.

My bigger question was what the hell kind of application needs 5k settings per user.....
I don't think that's entire true, since both mirrorless and DSLR live-view still suffer from shutter slap unless you enable electronic first-curtain shooting, which may or may not degrade image quality a bit.
yeah, I remember hearing that. I wouldn't necessarily consider that a sleight against Demonware though, considering that it's just a really hard problem to solve. Also I'm sure Activision pushed hard for it as it meant much reduced server costs.
It is similar in many countries. In Thailand, where I live, it is also built into the language. There are many different pronouns for addressing others based on your relative social standing. There are pronouns not only for normal societal interactions, but special pronouns for when you are speaking to monks and another set when speaking to/about royal family members. In fact, there are even different verbs that are used when talking about common activities of monks and royalty. Makes for a very pretentious culture and it certainly does inhibit critical thinking in much of the population.
No, you're conflating writing something with running it. These are different in the same way that editing a photo in Photoshop isn't part of the "MS paint experience" just because MS paint can open the file. By "authoring experience" we mean making something purely in that platform, i.e. Electron vs Flash, i.e. writing it by hand vs using Flash's rich tooling.
