I don't think anyone uses the photo for biometric identification. I thought those devices you look at in line simply take a photo of you on entry. In most countries you still face the customs officer who looks at you and your documents.

I think it's a matter of norms and expectations. I've got family in Honduras, and I would consider WU to send some money to them, if the need arose. I wouldn't consider it for a way to pay for something I was trying to buy on Ebay, and I think that's the perspective that a lot of the "SCAM!" comments are written from.
sorry if this is a silly question, but whats so bad about amazon? Do you mean they threat their workers badly?
I think this is the first time when I almost thought that this is a photograph not 3D model. The facial features are almost life-like, but then you look up and look at the hair line and you realize what you're looking at. Still mind-blowing, at least to me, how close we are to modeling 3D models of humans indistinguishable from real-life.

> I sincerely hope that you will never be in a position to realize just how your comment comes across to me.

Am I to interpret that as a threat, a la "If you said that to my face and I'd punch you in yours!"?

If so, I'd expect more from what I presume to be a grown man.

> At a guess you're young, well educated and compared to the lady in the article filthy rich.

In the interests of preserving pseudo anonymity I won't confirm or deny any of those guesses.

The addition of "filthy" in the third piece of that does show more than a hint of inherent bias though. There's nothing virtuous or vile in being poor or rich, and discounting someone's opinions based on your presumptions of their economic status can only end badly.

> Your 'personal responsibility' works well for you given your background and status in life. But it's an easy argument to make when the results are not your problem. It does handily allow you to ignore the fate of those that are not as fortunate as you are, after all, if they had taken their responsibilities seriously then they would have nothing to complain about, case closed.

Not once did I say the situation is not unfortunate nor did I say things should be this difficult. I merely pointed out that it could also have been avoided and she had ample opportunity to do so.

If resources are to be dedicated to helping out someone in this situation (which they should!), then they should also be dedicated to preventing it in the first place. A key part of that is acknowledging the personal responsibility component. Otherwise you're stuck repeatedly curing situations that could have otherwise been prevented.

Microsoft already did it multiple times when VS team had to adopt WPF, the new APIs that are COM only or latest example having the Office team adopt the desktop bridge and make it a UWP only application on Windows 10.

If anything, to give the message to the world that the internal teams also use the technology they are trying to sell.

And they are slowly doing it, given that launchd and the Dock were rewriten in Swift for Sierra and the new XCode 9 build system is now in Swift, as well as some parts of the Store app.
Looking out for feedback for my Startup
I'm working on a startup which provides online courses with 1-on-1 online mentoring from industry experts. I'm working on it from last 6 months but I'm not able to generate a good amount of revenue out of it.

Remittances are horrible for Bitcoin. Most remittances are fairly small, so the Bitcoin fees alone are more expensive than just paying Western Union or another remittance service. Not to mention bitcoin being extremely inconvenient for the types of people who tend to use remittance services.

I can get ice cream delivered within an hour on Prime where I live. I can also get groceries, booze, restaurant food, shoes and clothing, etc. Amazon sends people to buy the products from local businesses and deliver them.
If ICO's are scams, then optimizing their profit (theft) is bad. Do you like seeing companies get $35 million on a dream with no share of ownership, and likely SEC violation? I don't like people throwing their life savings away on things that will not, and should not work (as nearly all crypto projects have been deeply cash negative if not for investor funds.) Disclaimer: I like bitcoin.

Thus, I'm not happy to see, or help others see ways to further screw the people getting crypto gift certificates instead of shares for their hard earned money, or I'd make more comments on the article.
It's not a non sequitur; iTunes gift cards are also common instruments for scammers. They're also used legitimately, just like WU transfers are. The comparison is clear.
Chilling, mostly.
We are far away from hard AI (computer actually can think) some people start to believe we might not be able to reach it. What we currently succeeding is developing soft AI (solving specific problems) the problem is that such AI might do fine when things are clearly labeled, but might not know what to do in unexpected situations. With car stopping might often be correct, but in other situations actually not stopping is best etc.

Another thing is that your eyes can last you 100+ years, technology is not that durable and breaks more often, the objectives in cameras get dirty etc.

The cameras typically aren't as good as human eye, for example there are reports where Tesla wanted to jam into a truck in front only because its back in the camera couldn't be differentiated from the sky.

Yes, relying on cameras only is perfectly fine when you play PS4 game, but when life is on the line you want extra safety checks. Kind of like cars have brakes on every wheel and then also a handbrake. How every car has minimum of 3 stop lights (how often you see that one or more lights are bad in other cars?)

Your belief that we have hard AI (and this is kind of indirectly created by companies like Tesla, Google, Amazon, IBM etc) gives you conclusion that just two cameras should be enough in reality we did not made much progress in that area and instead just concentrated on specialized AI that is capable solving specialized problems, that kind of approach absolutely works better with more sensors.
Would you kindly elaborate on what you perceive to be the subtleties about IQ? Besides the danger of mistakenly thinking an important factor is the only factor, which is of course a common problem.

Notwithstanding all the problems with token sales: I don't really understand Vitalik's objection to the "partial refund model." He dismisses it out of hand as creating deadweight loss because the coins have to be locked up for a period of time.

First, it's not clear to me that the coins need to be locked up at all - why can't participants deposit or withdraw their funds as they please, with the funding contract relying on the current state at the end of the funding period?

Second, even if they do have to be locked up, I'm not at all sure that it results in deadweight loss. Certainly not appreciable amounts compared to traditional methods of funding.

To me, this is pretty clearly the best system currently available. It avoids problems like scammy, uncapped sales (Bancor) and sales that instantly sell out to a few buyers (BAT).
What motivates the senior scientists to do this? Is it because they want to guide the latest research in high-impact journals, oblivious of any profit motive? In the life sciences, many top researchers are actually editors or on the board of journals in their field.

From my experience, there is no doubt that relationships with editors help a scientist publish in better journals. And sour relationships make it harder -- not impossible, but harder. This system is pure meritocracy only in our minds.

>But there was a lot of anger regarding what happened to Warmbier.

The news coverage of the incident has seemed rather strange to me. Nobody would be shocked if he had exited an US prison in a coma, although I guess people don't get out for "humanitarian reasons" in the US. (Except once every 4/8 years, I guess)
I can speak for the food blogging industry. This is my wife’s blog[1]

A good food blogger focusing on the US/High GDP audience can get CPMs from $1-4[2]. Where it gets interesting are the RPM numbers. If you can manage multiple ad networks, execute 100% fill rates, bid between networks and become a preferred partner, you can rake up to $12-15in RPM [3]. Here’s more of multiple revenue sources for a successful blog [4]

Does anyone know why these apparatuses are usually "inverted", i.e. hang from the ceiling. I've seen the same thing for quantum computers. Is it related to the way they are cooled? Or is it easier to work with somehow?
FTS: "This study showed that diet rich with red meat can decrease leucocyte telomere length 10 years after receiving diet data."

Seems to me that if an artist chooses to use a fragile or organic medium for their art they have to accept the fact that it's going to be a temporary object.

After all cooks make artistic dishes that they know will exist only for a short time. Sidewalk chalk artists make some of the most amazing drawings I've ever seen and they're perfectly happy knowing they are only temporary.

I think making a cast or other physical reproduction actual reduces the artistic quality of the item. Some things are ephemeral and they should be looked at that way.
If you have ASCII, might I recommend the ASCII character set and encoding?
I often made garlic/oil/chili pepper spaghetti in the past. IMO doing anything fancy with the oil is completely unnecessary as you can infuse tons of flavour right at the cooking stage that happens 10min before eating: Use four garlic cloves per person, slice as thinly as you can (think Good Fellas), boil together with chili at the lowest heat in a high quality olive oil just until soft, take off the heat. Add pasta water,
salt, fresh italian flat parsley, almost cooked spaghetti and heat/soak for another minute, serve with parmesan. I also like to add sun dried oil tomatoes (commercial of course) together with the parsley. There, I don't understand how you need more
garlic flavour.

Hey I'm a developer for VSCodeVim (god I feel like a shill sometimes), and I'd love to hear about any issues you have with the plugin.

We've been fairly active developing the plugin, and we've closed a ton of issues and added a lot of new features over the last couple months.

More recently, we've added full Ex command support (through Neovim integration), and there's work underway to support some Vim plugins.

Does nobody here care about free speech? I guess this is how freedom dies.
This case stretches the theory of manslaughter to a point where it impinges on free speech. Not every evil act is an illegal act, and it is dangerous to over-extend legal theory to retroactively condemn a specific act.

> It's illegal because the law says that it's illegal

That goes for all laws.

> the law doesn't really have any justification based in fact or actual use-cases, it's just legislation and legislation has a mind of its own.

No, the law is embodying many years of experience with people attempting to forge IDs. So 'tampering' with the inputs to the process is tantamount to forgery, it makes good sense and it draws the lines in an extremely clear and non-ambiguous way. Far better than to leave some vague statements open to interpretation about what manipulation is allowed and what not (fun bit: people asking the service if we can edit out their wrinkles...).

> the government doubles down and requires an audit trail of the ID photograph from the taking of the photograph and all devices used to process the photograph.

In some places they do this, you get a certificate of authenticity with your passport photographs that you have to hand in to the officials.
Apart from the religion bit, that could also describe Chicago.
As others have mentioned, the Wikipedia article [0] provides a good listing of common symbols. If you are trying to read something that uses symbols not in that list (or in a way different from that list), you best bet would be to find a textbook on the subject. Most math books have a glossary of symbols at the beginning or end.

Also, as long as we are on the topic of bad math notation, I would caution that some sources use the symbols in subtly different ways, so you should be sure to check the paper itself for specific conventions.

C is interesting but old and unsafe, leading to memory corruption bugs. These bugs are often hard to find and compromise security. It is not always a good choice in real-world.

Rust, C++ and Haskell are much more complicated than JavaScript IMHO. Lisp is pretty old but there is a lot of modern Lisp-like languages.

Try them.

As cnnsucks said, reading code is important no matter what language you use. You can perfecly use JavaScript, Python, Go or Ruby and learn incredible tricks everyday, and these languages are used in the real-world.

I have couple of small side projects that which are monetised through ads. Portfolio of those web apps are 7 years old and traffic is growing linearly. The problem is revenue, which is basically cutting in half every 12 - 18 months: both CTR and revenue is going down.

There are a lot of people with adblock these days, but also mobile traffic is not that profitable and people learned to ignore the ads as a noise. I am also using just one small rectangle per page and not going for more aggressive tactics.

During those 7 years I am down from "these apps are paying my rent" to "I can have a one meal in a nice restaurant each month".

The point is: it is getting much harder to make money by having ads in your app. Also make sure that all the information are recent and comes from your market sector as is changing real quick.
"Anecdotally" is redundant in that sentence.
Your parent only claimed that Hussein was mild compared to other regimes. I tried to find the video you mentioned and immediately found articles about Syrian rebels throwing people off roofs and ISIS doing it to gays, so maybe this claim wasn't too far-fetched.

Oops, right. I thought the parent comment referred to "double dipping" for hybrid journals (those that have both open-access and closed-access articles): where research institutes pay once for "open-access article processing charges" (to publish) and once more for subscriptions (to read the articles that are closed-access).

Of course, all of this is in addition to the intrinsic cost of doing the research.
I hate to hijack, but I'm facing the exact same issue you are. The rates that I've heard quoted for AdSense just aren't happening for me. My rates are very similar to yours, samblr.

I think that part of my problem (and it could be yours) is that I don't have a ton of written content around my free giveaways, which is the core of my site. Basically: plenty of cake, very little frosting.

Can anyone offer advice for increasing AdSense revenue for a site without much written content?

I run a site called Preset Love (http://presetlove.com) which gives away free Lightroom presets (Lightroom is an image editor for Adobe). My ad rates are abysmal and I've thought of walking away as a result.

I welcome feedback.

If "falling short" means engaging in some of the most heinous and repellent business activities and personally disgusting behaviors and attitudes then I guess they "fell short".

I agree with what you say, but I do not understand why it is related to my comment. I was trying to say that refusing to publish in closed-access journals is hard, but refusing to review for them is easy.
That last bit of your comment was completely unnecessary.
>Yeast can't ferment starch directly

This isn't really true. Saccharomyces cerevisiae can't generally ferment starch directly, but various forms of Brettanomyces can. Wild yeast and bacteria that can ferment starch are pretty common -- a turbid mash (which leaves a bunch of starches in the wort) is still used before putting the wort into a cool ship to be inoculated with wild yeast and then fermented in barrels.

Granted, a true wild sour usually takes a few months to a few years to ferment out all the starches and develop the flavors that are so interesting, but "Yeast can't ferment starch directly" is an oversimplification.
