No science is definitive. Even Isaac Newton was overturned.

As near as I can tell they have put the most effort into duplicating Archimedes Heat Ray. They attempted it three times with large budgets and demonstrated why it was possible, but entirely impractical.

After they showed that just being wet was enough to save the boat (when would a boat ever be wet?!) they then offered a replacement explanation and had an example of a flaming arrow. It took one archer and required a fraction of the cost, could be reliably duplicated thousands of times (in battle) and had better range than a team of guys with mirrors.

Even just Maersk could have huge consequences. Some of their ships have capacities of more than 10,000 containers, that's a lot of goods which may not be unloaded for the time being. Many supply chains will be quite sensitive to a delay like this and it could have very visible knock-on effects.

A delay of a day is probably already enough to cause congestion in ports with further delays down the road.
Mathematica costs money but basically does this. There’s a time limited trial and a cheaper home edition.

I still think the combined router/modem is the issue. I've worked with one of the combined router/modems with a Comcast business connection before. Very buggy, and Getting the static IPv6 and IPv4 is a herculean task. The Cisco DPC3010 has its own oddities. I would suggest looking at some of the newer cable modems that Comcast supports. If you need static IPv4 though, you have to use Comcast's equipment.
This is actually more likely the "law of small numbers". The lower population areas have high variation, because there is lower statistical significance to their resulting "mobility"

I would like to see what it is like for a small sliding scale. Give me the same data with the ability to slide it over a 10 year or 10 month period. Do the smaller population areas flip back and forth between "mobile" and "immobile"?
I see no evidence that the EU is legislating in order to extract money from corporations, so the very basis of your idea is flawed.
I observe the Internet as an unfriendly place to study and take in information. Ads that move, shake, and make noise do so to tug at that primary fear of a predator or by exploiting the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventral_tegmental_area, amongst other methods. Psychologists have worked with advertising platforms like Facebook, Google, etc. to min-max and game-ify breaking our attention as much as they can. Its like they moved a really bad band and some actors into every one of our libraries and marked up all the pages with ads. The mobile platform extends the reach of these platforms. Maybe we need the computers to put us on a diet automatically; rate limiting or setting a maximum daily dose after which all ads and notifications are turned off or extremely limited. Seems like just a simple matter of programming :-)

I don't really understand why are you pressing so much on this issue

You're acting like these are immutable laws of the universe rather than properties of google's design decisions.

I think your point wouldn't encounter as much resistance (or at least different resistance) if you just said something to the effect of "devoply, you're in the X% of users that google tolerates providing a sub-standard experience to, and I don't give a fuck either."
There...

> (especially since this is not really considered a crime)

The seed is already planted: it is ok to display the face of a citizen, as long as he's a criminal. No debate about what kinds of public need does supersede the privacy rights of the individual citizen, or what kind of crimes would justify this kind of behavior from the part of the government. It is all "rulebreakers brought this on themselves" nowadays.

All they have to do now is to lower (or I'd say, keep lowering) the threshold; jaywalking is right around the corner.
Interesting, I think I saw this same exact example at GTC 2016. Although, on a quick search on mobile - I can't find the talk...

It was a Chinese company discussing their surveillance in major cities and their use of GPUs for their form of video compression. With the specific goal of keeping the data as small as possible.

It was the most dystopian talk I've ever been at, and the presentors were all smiles and laughs.

I honestly question how well it works at scale with hundreds of millions of faces at different angles. I asked them about this, and they said it won't be long now to fix. Their explanation was they only need one accurate view of their face to tag those people. Then they just track them where ever they go.
Incidentally you can demonstrate this by wiring up the relay so it oscillates i.e. use the NC contacts in series with the coil. Then stick your fingers across the coil. It'll give you a nice shock. Not enough to hurt you but enough to go "hmm, I'm not going to do that again" like licking a 9v battery.

I guess you don't understand people who don't have money (which isn't surprising considering you're in Sweden). To such people, $30 a month, $360 a year is not justifiable or sometimes attainable (for example having a contract plan). For some it's not the most rational decision, since their cheaper alternative may not last well or have shortcomings in its quality, but that's how people without money are forced to act, and saying they should have the mindset of someone who feels confident in long term choices is not realistic. For some, it really is the decision between having a "better" device (which is arguable, AR is one way Apple wants to avoid being part of a mature commodity market where everything basically just works), feeding or buying their children a gift, or some other more highly valued thing.

I would also like the point out the market reality, that while Apple dominates in some areas, primarily cheap Androids are the main element for these reasons, along with factors such as more expensive and proprietary accessories. This is because people make choices relevant to their situation.
As a woman who damn well makes enough to pay my own way (and, honestly, more than most of the guys I end up on first dates with), I'm insulted by the assumption that the man pays for the first date. That's an archaic custom that dates from a time when women weren't expected to have (significant) income sources. It suggests women can't take care of themselves, which is demeaning.

I for one am looking for an equal partner in life. A guy who won't accept that dynamic doesn't get a second date. It's actually a great way to filter out guys who aren't a good fit.

This journalist is naive. This answer says "sure we use fuzzing, but we have no idea if this particular bit of code was fuzzed." When you ask a binary question and a binary answer isn't provided, someone is usually trying to obfuscate the fact that they're on the wrong side of the binary.
Agree. "Deprecated" implies that they ignored it, didn't improve it, that it remained essentially unchanged. That was not the case in Win8, which offered a markedly inferior desktop UX when compared to Win7.

Personally, as an EU citizen, I don't believe that Google is advancing my interests and rights, but I also don't believe that the EU commission dictating what Google can or cannot do based on who is lobbying and how much money is at stake has the consumer's best interests in mind. To me these fines seem motivated by money, not consumer rights.
I have not yet checked their ML approach. Regarding register updates you are right.

I have also seen that they did only 10000 simulation runs to determine the standard deviation to be 1.00/sqrt(m). I think more simulations would be necessary to get a confidence interval for the standard deviation that is small enough to allow differentiation from 1.04/sqrt(m).

I mean, I don't expect Google to show the same results to everyone (this is what I get: http://imgur.com/a/go3pU ). Funny thing is that the results changed between my first and second query (there was another unrelated result before the first link to Samsung).

I'm not complaining about ads and this fine is not about ads. It is about Google favoring Google Shopping links instead of competitors even though Google Shopping was inferior when it started. Google basically pushed their product no matter how shitty it was.

If it were not for Google being a near monopoly in search this would not be a problem, but Google is a monopoly, so special rules apply to them.
You're continuing to conflate knowing theory with focusing too much on theory in the interview process. I don't think anyone begrudges candidates for knowing theory. It's when their answers are primarily theoretical instead of primarily practical that the issue comes into play.

New Data Engineer, good learning resources?
Hello!

I just got a new job as a "platform" engineer, which looks like it's going to be a whole bunch of data engineering (i.e. getting data from point A --> redshift/etc). I come from primarily a webops/devops/sysadmin background, which means I've been feeling a little out of my depth on "what's all this data stuff and how does it fit together?". I'm curious for any good resources you may have.

Thanks!

I welcome these ideas. They may be rough around the edges at first (like WebMD) but hopefully they can help people & doctors research possible solutions. Software developers constantly complain about "JavaScript Fatigue". Can you imagine the fatigue of trying to keep up on health issues? I would greatly appreciate my doctor being able to be instantly alerted that my symptoms match a possible new strain of virus & what the success rates have been for possible treatments. As a new-ish parent, hopefully these can help relax some of the anxiety you go through during your first few years. WebMD & other sites were actually helpful for us at times.

Not to cut down doctors, but finding a good doctor can often be very difficult. I completely understand the demand in trying to find quality medical advice that you can trust. It's a hard & very valuable problem to solve, so the more resources people throw at it the better.

Yeah you mean "whoever came out on top must have out competed the other" and you don't care if it was by hook or by crook.

So, yeah in the sense that a five year old Rocky vs Ivan Drago in a boxing match is a competition technically. But no one can honestly say it's really a competition, as in there's any spirit of competition.

U.S. v Microsoft makes it pretty clear. MS'es strategy was break the law and do anything to win. Then it was weather the lawsuit and win or lose, they had years to position IE as the dominant product. So losing hardly mattered they still got what they wanted.

What could Netscape actually do to counter all that? They were practically bystanders in this nearly as much as my grandmother was. Such was MS'es power in the 90's.

But this is relatively meaningless with the current fine structure. Unless the EU's is drastically different, the fine never comes close to matching what the companies are making with these anti-competitive practices, ergo the companies are not sufficiently disincentivized to stop using them.
Speaking of which, a commercial Unix might actually be the best choice for these kinds of systems.

The Royal Navy has the budget and bargaining power to sign a multi-decade support contract from the likes of IBM, HP, and Oracle. The latter already offers 24 years of support for the latest series of Solaris; maybe they can add another dozen years on top of that if you throw enough money in their general direction. By contrast, no version of Windows has been supported for more than 13 years (though they might also offer special long-term contracts), and most flavors of Linux only get 5-10 years.
Not "bad" per-se, but perhaps in the interest of progress not accepting a path forward could be considered a hindrance to open-source ideologies.

No, there isn't. Most crypto vulnerabilities happen in the joinery between primitives. If you rolled your own block cipher, it's less likely that the cipher would be broken than that your protocol would be broken with a vulnerability that would apply equally well to AES.

Obviously, don't make your own block cipher, either.
The answer to your question is given by the EC decision:

> There are also high barriers to entry in these markets, in part because of network effects: the more consumers use a search engine, the more attractive it becomes to advertisers. The profits generated can then be used to attract even more consumers. Similarly, the data a search engine gathers about consumers can in turn be used to improve results.

Simply put, the EC believes that Google is a barrier to any viable competition, so there's no ability to develop a competitive service to Google's own.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_wave

You can place cars driving in a circle and spontaneously traffic jams will occur without the apparent presence of a bottle neck. If a non-significant number of vehicles are autonomous, it'd be easier to control for this.

If autonomous vehicles can communicate with one another (as I think will eventually happen) then we'd be able to see something very special where vehicles would be able to travel at speed while maintaining very small marginal distances because machines react faster than humans.
I'm referring to the case where that woman posed as a high school student and drove a girl that her daughter didn't like to suicide via cyber bullying. They tried to charge her under the CFAA for violating Facebook's ToS against misrepresenting yourself.

> United States v. Drew[1] is the final decision in a criminal case that charged Lori Drew of violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) over the alleged cyberbullying of a 13-year-old, Megan Meier, who committed suicide.

Also:

> On September 4, 2008, the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed an amicus brief in support of Drew's motion to dismiss the indictment.[10] The brief argued that Drew's indictment was wrongful because Drew's alleged violation of the Myspace terms and conditions was not an "unauthorized access" or a use that "exceeds authorized access" under the CFAA statute; that applying the CFAA to Drew's conduct would constitute a serious encroachment of civil liberties; and that interpreting the CFAA to apply to a breach of a website's Terms of Service would violate the Due Process protections of the Constitution and thereby render the statute void on the grounds of vagueness and lack of fair notice.
