That demo is amusing. I did a Google image search for "N year old faces" for N = 5, 9, 10 and 14, and eliminated results where the accompanying text did not confirm the age, and then gave some of the remaining ones to it. It was always at least 10 years too old on its guess for these children. It got the gender right maybe 3/4 of the time.

I also tried it on a few internet porn images. It looks like it is definitely only relying on the face for determining gender, or it thinks that there are a lot of women with hairy flat chests and large penises...

How Telecom Speculator Howard Jonas Made Billions from Verizon, AT&T
Devices are memory-mapped without going through many nested protocols (USB, PCIe, etc). What drivers do is completely transparent. Library calls are a simple subroutine which jumps into the real details, without a privilege barrier.

Much of the accessibility of the architecture is that it's a single address space, with no MMU interference to speak of (later models had MMUs, but where only used for a few enhancements here & there at best).

Besides, 680x0 code is much more pleasant to deal with than x86. But that's the case for pretty much any non-x86 ISA. ;-)
What about .Net on ARM?
No. Not even that. A fingerprint just directly implies presence. And it doesn't even have to be intentional presence either.

A handscan I could see being a login. Because your not going to easily lift that as a fingerprint partial.

I lost 100 lbs in a year just by eating 1500 calories a day. No heavy exercise needed. Just go for a 30 minute to 1 hour walk a day consistently and eat 1500 calories a day or less consistently.

You just have to be patient and consistent. You will lose 10 pounds a month max, so don't try to force more weight loss than that.

Given the other incredibly insightful posts from people who are going through this exact problem as we speak, and knowing that I'm in all likelyhood decades away from having to face such a problem, I feel incredibly silly saying this, but I totally agree with you - contemplating my own lack of existence is maddening to me.

I want nothing more than to never cease being, to never stop learning and experiencing and seeing how the world and I change, and the knowledge that one day I'll stop fills me with intense dread and sadness. It's utterly egotistical, but I don't want there to ever be a time where I don't exist. Which is ridiculous, because I didn't exist for the huge of time, but now that I'm here, I really don't want to stop being. The idea that instead of moving on or experiencing something new I'll experience nothing, and I'll never come back from it, never get a chance to experience anything ever again, is horrifying.
Good question.
How much memory on RPi3 and how much required to run Windows10?
It's actually only x86 emulation. x64 is not supported according to the video.
iCloud is at least also an Apple product. The last time I installed Win10 (fresh, legal install media direct from Microsoft), on the first boot there was an ad for Candy Crush in the start menu. That's just unacceptable.

Thanks for explaining the obvious. I get the logic behind it. Still, I think bandwidth is cheap nowadays and a website should never have to go offline in case of an unexpected traffic spike. Other hosters reach out to the owner before shutting it down.
"With this vessel, Yara will reduce diesel-powered truck haulage by 40,000 journeys a year."

This sort of thing is a big problem throughout the Windows ecosystem, and it's mostly caused by Microsoft leaving holes in Windows' functionality to be filled by incompetent third parties. The purpose of this program was supposedly to handle hotkeys such as mute/unmute. But that's not something a third-party program should be doing at all! A typical OEM windows system will have a half-dozen pieces of crap in its system tray written by third-party hardware vendors, implementing features that a decent operating system would already have built in.

I thought they do a static recompilation too, from the original binary, but I can't look it up now.
I've found a glass of water with a splash of lemon/lime juice satisfies my soda cravings, and is probably better than drinking diet soda. On ice, I can fill the glass a couple times before it loses all the lemon/lime flavor.

Boxing the meals is a really good idea. When I first lost a lot of weight (and finally kept it off), I was usually doing this (though it was stress that had killed my appetite, it wasn't intentional). Once I'd reset my concept of "full" it was much easier, after the stressors were resolved, to maintain that eating level. I allow myself more food now, but I'm also much more active. And when I spent a few months unable to exercise (injuries), adjusting my diet down to the lower activity level was easy (only gained ~3 pounds over 4 months, most in the first month).
I went on Nutrisystem for a month as I needed a "reset." Our kitchen counters were topped with snacks and candy, and I had fallen into the habit of mindlessly snacking every evening. Plus, I like to eat! :) At my heaviest I was 254 lbs - I'm 40 years old and 6' 2".

Nutrisystem (or any other "crash" type of diet) is painful. You crave food. But what's going on during this time is your body is getting over its sugar addiction, and learning to require less food.

When that period was over, I went to a diet of approx. 2,000 calories a day. 500 calories in the morning, 500-700 calories at lunch, same for dinner. No more sweets, except for a treat on Friday. No more snacking - after dinner I'm done eating. If I'm truly ravenous later in the evening I get an apple.

That's the discipline and habit part. Next is the mental, because it's easy to backslide. Plus, our own bodies may be fighting to regain the weight! https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-weig...

This is where I have to look at the opportunities to overeat and say no, every time, but ALSO to ask myself "what particular need, or hole, is this trying to fill?" The way I figure, the chronic overeating was me trying to fill a hole in my soul, so to speak, to fix something broken in my psyche by engaging in indulgent behaviors that feel good at the time. But, as future self will always tell you after a night of hard drinking, "now I feel worse, thanks jerkwad!"

So, basically, you gotta do the mental work as well. Figure out your hole - what does the food do for you that life does not?

Finally, exercise! When I first started I was "running" a little under 2 miles. Really, it was running a few blocks, then walking half a block, then repeat. I decided to go on a hiking trip with some friends in July, and figured I needed to be running straight for at least 4 miles by then to be in shape. To date I'm up to a little over a 5k, no walking. I got a bike, and I'm trying to get in at least 15 miles a week. Nothing crazy. Lastly, if you're strapped for time like I am with a wife and kid at home, the 7 minute workout is great for busting out a quick workout with nothing more than a chair and a place to do some calisthenics. It's HIIT, and helps with flexibility, strength training, and cardio - plus it's only 7 minutes.

For me, I'm just going for getting in some type of exercise at least 4-5 days a week. Once again, the mental plays a part here, because when you get home from work, exercise is often the last thing you want to do. I've noticed though, that as I get into better shape, it's the first step, or jumping jack, that's the hardest - after that I actually start to enjoy it. :)

Currently: 231 lbs. (and still going - I look for opportunities to eat less, instead of more. I want to go about 20 lbs more)

Disclaimer: obviously this is my experience, and won't work for everyone. But, I do believe that it's the attention to how much is going into your body, doing the mental work, and exercising that will make a difference for anyone.
Just to avoid any misunderstandings, from the article: "There's no indication the driver package uploads or otherwise distributes any of the logged information."

The software writes all key presses to a debug logfile on your own machine (which is overwritten on each reboot), it doesn't send them anywhere. This is bad enough, especially given that the file apparently is readable by any user on that machine. But it's not really a malicious spying tool, it's "only" really sloppy programming.

HipChat – Syncing messages across clients (feature request)
I feel like this is in response to the pushback against Windows RT honestly. They put the cart before the horse on that one, trying to get everyone to use an app store with no apps, and quickly realizing that the base Windows experience wasn't enough for the vast majority of their users.

Killing Windows RT was the right choice, because it was never designed to do something like this. It had a weak translation layer for Win32's API built right in, and they would have needed to do some wizardry to have the two live side by side. No, I think RT was a useful but failed experiment, and I'm excited to see them take this approach with Win32 emulation on ARM. If it works as well as these demos suggest it does, it could finally provide a good path for ARM into consumer laptops and even desktops, to spark some great competition in the space. I'm excited to see where this goes.

Posting this here because it's a fundamental feature missing in HipChat and the issue was created over a year ago. It's quite fascinating to watch how little is being done to address this and how many people have or are threatening to leave HipChat as a result. We ultimately made the decision to ditch HipChat as a result of this.
This is cool, but you can already have zero (net) emissions by running an existing container ship off of biodiesel or synthetic diesel. And the crews are so small relative to freight volumes that automating them won't drop costs very much.

Designing with Data: Driving Value with Analytics and Design Thinking
In general we pay for infrastructure with taxes. It's getting harder and harder to argue that no software counts as infrastructure: "An organizational structure needed for the operation of a society or enterprise." The current President talks about tossing money at infrastructure; maybe he'd like to spend an outrageous 1% of that on software. It's nice when volunteers fill in potholes or replace bent railway ties - but it's no way to run a railroad.

When I was about 7 I used to help my dad in his shop. He had a fairly basic till (this was the 80's), which he would let me punch the numbers into. One day, someone brought 10 £1 items to the counter. I remember typing £1 repeatedly when my dad stopped me and showed me what the @ key on the till was for.

My mind was blown for about 6 months before learning I could just type £10 instead.
And? I don't see how this relates to what I've said? Do these things make America not innovative?

MMA limitations seems to be, do not attack sensitive parts and do not kill the opponent. There's nothing to master other than survival. Every people trying to use one genre/style, ended up smashed by the people that went purely for pragmatics (put the guy down, smash his face until submission). My (own personal subjective perceptional) definition of art cannot accept this. See for instance dancing has some innate aesthetics, moving is not enough to be dance. Random noise is mostly not music.
The problem with that kind of acceleration is that it assumes that the problem with establishing change is getting people to believe that their life sucks. But that's not the problem, the problem is convincing people that action for change can make things better. Concrete victories, starting small, can do that; letting things get worse doesn't.

Capitalism replaced feudalism because the bourgeoisie took power, one small victory at a time, from the feudal nobility.

If a system in which the working classes take power from the capitalists is to replace capitalism—and the modern mixed economy may be a transitional form on the route to such a system, or might just be a diversion—then it's going to be the same way.

You can't do both in a single pixel, unless you turn off lighting entirely and make everything fullbright.

Let's have blue-tinted pane of glass, (0, 0, .5, .5). And a red tinted pane, (.5, 0, 0, .5).

Then a blue glow, (0, 0, .5, 0). And a red glow, (.5, 0, 0, 0).

If you have your blue glass glow red, and your red glass glow blue, both combinations come out as (.5, 0, .5, .5).

Under 99% of lighting conditions, it will look wrong. If you put it in darkness, it will look overwhelmingly wrong.

Even if occlusion and emission are the same color it doesn't work. A dark blue object that glows brightly, and a bright blue object that glows dimly, both will have the same RGBA.
