It's a very powerful hammer in our psychological toolkit, and it's been used countless times throughout history.

No one wants to blame the Everyman and his masculine valor for failing the country. So the parts of the national leadership who started the war need to deflect blame, and they do it by attaching themselves to martial myths and posing as defenders of the Everyman. Not like those other dastardly effete leaders who oppose war, who are in a rhetorically weaker position because they're correctly acknowledging that individual valor doesn't play a major role in the outcome of the war. They're easily portrayed as trivializing valor and not glamorizing it sufficiently.

If you talk to old white American soldiers, you can hear the same thing about Vietnam (damn liberals!) and more recently Iraq (damn liberals!). I'm sure you could hear similar things from old Brits nostalgic for Empire.
Yeah, a lot of these things that get wrapped up as super-futuristic innovations that use the hottest buzzwords are really just ways to apply old techniques more efficiently.

Since phones provide a platform for a robust software camera, instead of requiring the user to manually snap 9 shots for HDR, the phone just does it for you in rapid succession. Some DSLRs will do this automatically too with 3 shots, but they are much worse at providing a space for robust software assistance.

It sounds like obstruction removal is the same kind of thing, where the phone actually captures a snippet of video and automatically differences that for you, instead of having the photographer take multiple photos and difference them manually in Photoshop (as has been done for a long time, e.g. [0]).

And since Google automatically uploads all of your content, they can analyze it on their servers and return an asynchronous result. They do this for auto-generated animations, panoramas, and movies; it doesn't all have to be performed on the local device and they can take their time.

This is not to poo-poo such developments; I think it's awesome that I can use Cardboard Camera and get a stereoscopic 3D image of my surroundings. Even special-built 360 cameras like the Theta S struggle with stereoscopy. I would love to see Canon or other camera makers innovate by providing a DSLR platform that makes it easy to load new software macros that enable cooler shooting and processing modes (with the caveat that the DSLR must never allow these to slow the device's operation in no-macro mode).

The best we can do now is a full-custom firmware like Magic Lantern [1], which is cool and all, but when I tried it on my 6D, the camera response time was much slower and the sound recording didn't work on the build I installed, resulting in a couple of home videos without audio. I took ML off and haven't been inclined to try again.

You can compress most Earth light fields really well. That might be what you're intuiting. There's a ton of redundancy due to the mostly opaque nature of reality.

But compressing a light field and projecting one into an eye are totally different things. Your display needs to be capable of displaying all 3n^4 possible intensities at different times. Depending on the scene and where you're looking, you can get away with showing only a smaller handful of those (some megapixels) but the display still needs to be capable of displaying them all.

If your display is just fixed LEDs behind a microlens array then you still need n^4 resolution. Like, a megapixel per pixel. Most of the pixels can be off at any given time, but you'll need them all to display arbitrary scenes.
Picking a world record is not a fair representation.

(Post author here) I think that was part of the goal with AGPL license, but it doesn't explicitly remove the possibility. My guess is that's one reason AWS hasn't offered hosted Mongo, despite the large community around the DB.

CockroachDB took an interesting two license approach with all code still out in the open: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/how-were-building-a-busin...

Then there was MariaDB's recent closed, with a time bomb to open source later or the BSL (business source license): https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/19/mysql-founder-tries-a-new-...

Both seem like interesting approaches. Hard to tell what, if anything will get the most community and commercial moment behind it. I think that's the key: being able to foster a large community while being able to build a sustainable business around it. Ideally, one that can justify VC investment. If you're building a smaller business then your options definitely change.
Here's a business/service idea off the top of my head.

As a traveller, just before going through security you wipe your device and "sell" it to a vendor in exchange for a voucher that will allow you to exchange it back when you land and go through the security at your destination. You take the new device, provision it with your cloud data, and go on your visit; when you go back, you go through this process again, in the other direction.

Lots of problems to be solved with that idea, not the least of which is the business model, but it would allow you to travel without any electronics on your person.
Yeah, we were up to 140k on our 2011 Sonata with no engine troubles when we traded it in recently.
This problem was posted on stackoverflow 9(!) months ago http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38959321/firebase-databas...
It has been updated recently: "After 9 months of back-and-forth emails (over 40 emails), Google has acknowledged that they have found some bugs that may be responsible for high bandwidth usage, but bandwidth usage is still too high. Resolving this issue does no appear to be a priority for Google/Firebase (it took them 1.5 months to respond to the last email)."
Two-Factor Authentication Using Biometrics
They do have support. I was stuck once with a friendly fella, that spent 45+ minutes talking about weather and weekend adventures to me, rather than solving my issue. It took less than 5 minutes to solve the issue, almost an hour of talk time. I would even bet money that the guy was heavily stoned.

At the end he asked me to provide positive feedback to him in exchange for friendly service. He said he will redirect me somewhere and I should give him a proper feedback. This is even while I was telling me I have no time and this is an urgent matter. At the end of the call it turned out it took him 5 minutes to solve the issue and he just wanted to chat while I was stuck at talking to him, thinking he is waiting for a solution to propagate.

I can't say this is a good support.

Well, this 'dead industry' still supplies 20% of the United States' electricity and 75% of France's electricity. Hell, France is even a net exporter of electricity...
What's the difference? They'd probably do the same thing at both ends. Snowmobile is essentially a giant external drive hurtling down the highway, and the removable rack (which I'd assume is just switches) is its "USB" interface. Actually, it'd probably be more efficient on the AWS side, because they likely already have said interconnects in their facility and don't need to unload it.

If I were designing it I'd expose a private S3 interface, or maybe NFS, to the customer from the truck, store the incoming bits on-disk in the form that S3 expects, then just copy raw blocks from disk and merge metadata databases on the AWS side so you're not doing two passes through the S3 API. I can't imagine they're doing something much different than that. Not every customer would be in a position to handle iSCSI or FC, for example. You could unload the disks at the destination, too, but that seems less efficient and more disruptive to their lifetime.
Was it? I couldn't find any anywhere. My bad.

Interestingly, we get

.LC0:
.string "Lorem ipsum"
[...]
movl $.LC0, %esi
movl $ptr2, %edi
xorl %eax, %eax
jmp bogus

for the same experiment done with a const pointer to const data,

const char * const ptr2 = "Lorem ipsum";

(Incidentally, this kind of thing is why I prefer to write 'char const STAR const' rather than 'const char STAR const', and 'char const STAR' rather than 'const char STAR'; it systematically places the 'const's.)

(PS. HN really doesn't work well for trying to write either unicode or ascii star characters.)

Let me try to sum up. On the one hand, we have a large number of true but commonplace ideas, especially about how simple rules can lead to complex outcomes, and about the virtues of toy models. On the other hand, we have a large mass of dubious speculations (many of them also unoriginal). We have, finally, a single new result of mathematical importance, which is not actually the author's. Everything is presented as the inspired fruit of a lonely genius, delivering startling insights in isolation from a blinkered and philistine scientific community. We have been this way before.

I had no idea this review existed, but it captures many of my reactions to the book when I first tried to read it many years ago. I distinctly remember the lack of discussion of previous work, lack of specific citations to the academic literature, and the garbled way in which scientific fields I had some knowledge of were explained. The book seemed to take pains to make it appear as if the author were inventing something the likes of which the world had never seen before.
This all looks awesome (e.g. google assistant, google lens, google home, etc) but I would rather pay some $ for the service and have the guarantee that my data are my data ... than have it for free and have google mine my data to sell me ads or sell profiles to who knows who.

Maybe others are willing to trade the privacy creep for it being "free" but I'm not.

It would be great to have the option.
> A thought experiment, [i]s not the same as an actual experiment, you know.

Yes, obviously. But special relativity was developed almost exclusively on the basis of thought experiments. So basing a scientific conclusion on a thought experiment has a venerable history.

BTW, the EPRG experiment is not a thought experiment. That experiment has actually been done (despite the fact that the outcome was never in doubt, which is why it is not particularly noteworthy).

> And with that assumption for a foundation, your experiment becomes a way to experimentally distinguish which interpretation of QM is correct.

No, it's not possible to experimentally determine which interpretation is correct. But this is not unusual in science. There are an infinite number of theories that are consistent with any finite data set. To choose among them you need some criterion other than consistency with the data.
That's more or less the point of the GGP's suggestion. Contempt is generally brought in cases where you have the ability to comply, but choose not to.

If you do not have even the ability to comply, justifying contempt becomes increasingly difficult.
Well, if you honestly believe that Carnegie Mellon University is the same as the NFL as a non-profit, especially given our long track record of education and research, there really isn't anything I can say to convince you. So let's just end this here.
What is most amazing about this guys is that they already have a mobile gaming platform (found this in their FAQ). I think this differentiates them from most of other ICOs, when people just collected money for future development.

Proof Without Words: Integration by Parts
I've been a paying member for a few years and FastMail has been nothing but fantastic. Excellent service, and every support ticket I've filed has been handled quickly and professionally. This lifetime account thing is the first time I've actually seen evidence of FastMail doing something wrong, and to be honest I'm finding it hard to actually care all that much about someone who got 15 years of email service for $15.
I can appreciate the appeal of a Backend-as-a-Service offering like Firebase, particularly if you're a one-person frontend-heavy dev team; it seems like it gives you a lot of leverage in the early experimentation stages. I'd like to play with it some day soon.

But this sort of incident really underscores the business value of having an exit strategy from whatever cloud you're running in.

That's why I like Kubernetes, since you can just spin up a new cluster on whatever cloud you want (or on-prem), and all your app deploy scripts remain the same.

Likewise for the choice of boring data store (Postgres/MySQL). I'm happy to pay a cloud provider to run my DB for me, because I know I can trivially redeploy in another hosted DBaaS or on-prem solution if I had a need to do so.

You could make the same case for running your stack on VMs that you manage; pick your poison.

Burning CPU cycles on an opaque, needlessly complicated model created by a canny professor who realized that putting ML in grant proposals gets you 5x the cash compared to regression.

Check out the non-denial denial video by Hillary at the end. First "I don't recall" followed by "if it did happen, it was a joke".

Basically, the hate arose because the book (not just its title) implied that Wolfram was newly inventing a bunch of ideas that had been invented mostly by other people over the prior several decades. His revolutionary idea, that "complex behavior can arise from simple rules", wasn't his and, even if the news still hasn't yet reached many people, hadn't been revolutionary for decades.

Have you considered that maybe it's your attitude that's the problem, not FastMail? I've contacted FastMail support a number of times for various issues and not once have they ever been condescending.
I can only guess from my limited experience talking to people at Google and reading about their systems, but I would guess the problem is over-automation of customer support.

I also wonder who shifts through the tickets themselves. Is it the engineer straight out of Stanford with 150k combined compensation and no serious training in customer satisfaction? The curious developer who built the product and wanted to see what people thought of his/her baby? A lower paid employee in a country with a lower cost of living? Some combination of the three? I feel like the culture at Google might preclude it from ever having good customer support except for the highest paying customers.
I hear you. I've made an exception on angular2, partially because it's being baked in to some other tools I use, and I think those communities will help support it as well. And from what I can tell, the 'a2->a3->a4' is much more minor support numbering vs the "everything is redone" from a1->a2.

But this is a somewhat easier choice to make because I still have the code locally. Google could stop supporting it tomorrow, and it would not be fun, but things wouldn't stop working, unlike the firebase situation above, where the option is "turn off your app".

That said, I've generally been using knockout and vue (more vue recently than knockout) and both have been fine.

"Third, they don't have any actual support at all for anything". There's a lot of people on this thread that feel like because they're paying for something they should get support. And... while I'm sympathetic to that viewpoint, and agree they should, we've had 10+ years of seeing google consistently under- or non- support many services that people seem to want to base their entire businesses on.
> Says who? Sure if you take out a fat mortgage and car loans that require two incomes to repay then, sure, you need two incomes. But you can also just choose to live in a smaller house and drive cheaper cars instead. The issue is the lifestyle inflation that comes with two incomes, it is avoidable.

I mean, my SO and I are looking at the fact that we need two incomes simply to buy any house. We recently saw a 650 sqft shack go for ~$500k, an we don't even live in California.

There simply aren't 'cheaper houses' in places where we think we could get work.

What on earth makes you think they don't index your data if you pay?
It's worth noting that Brad Bauman, who is acting as spokesperson for the Rich family, is a PR expert with a long history with the DNC and supporting Progressive causes.

If he's being paid by someone closely affiliated with the Democratic Party - and I don't know that he is, I'm building an air castle here - then distancing the Rich family from WikiLeaks would be in his best interest.

This seems likely to me, as per the CNN article you linked:

> Wheeler was put in touch with the Rich family through Dallas businessman Ed Butowsky, who told CNN he had offered to pay any bills associated with the investigation.

> "You have a family who can't afford a PI. Their son was killed. So I offered to help out," Butowsky said.

If they truly couldn't afford a PI, then I doubt they could afford a top-tier PR professional to speak on their behalf.
sleepychu's point stands either way. It's not a question of whether there's actually a loss of income. If the people with the expensive lawyers think there's a loss of income then you're gonna get dragged into an expensive lawsuit.

> Yet it seems the WannaCry malware has gained full control of the system. This is only possible if the SMB component is not segregated. We know from Samba that this protocol can run as isolated software.

Hmm, I connected to local file sharing service on Mac Os and see /usr/sbin/smbd running as root. Is there any user isolation in Samba? And anyway there should be central process running from root to be able to switch to user after authentication. After all, it's a file sharing service and it should have access to files.

These are political assassinations but they are assassinations by crazies. If you think these are government plots or that the man is secretly sending ninjas to rub out potential whistleblowers, you have to come up with some evidence otherwise it's just conspiracy theorizing.

> It also flips if you can't plug in at home. For a lot of people that's easy, but for many it's tough.

You mean like if you live in an apartment, and you get one covered parking space (if you're lucky)? And if you're married (or have a roommate), and you both have cars, well, your apartment complex might put in chargers for the covered parking, but they probably aren't putting chargers on the uncovered parking, so only one of you can charge per night.
