Right, we are more worried about competing experiments seeing our data and discussions. (There may be other concerns, but I'm not a legal expert so I can't comment on that.)

The most compelling reason for confidentiality I've heard is that if another experiment sees our work in progress, it would influence them, and the results would no longer be independent. If you go back and look at old measurements, you find that they were often biased towards rumored values or other experiment's measurements.

(There are also less then convincing reasons, many people fear releasing "unfinished" information to the public would make a bad impression and risk funding. I'm personally inclined to let the public see more how the sausage (err, science) is made. People get the wrong impression that we turn on a machine, get the result, and write it down for eternity into a textbook, but in reality it is always a long an iterative process with many mistakes along the way.)
I have to say that I'm a bit confused by this. As far as I understand the crowdsourcing effort for the Talos I (based on the Power8) failed and they're moving on to other projects... So I guess this is where they are moving development resources to?

I remember how slow it was accessing text mode video RAM on the ISA bus compared to constructing a display in main RAM, and indeed buffering changes there and rendering them across en bloc to video RAM. Buffering is not a recent invention.

Lvl5 (YC W17) – Crowdsourced HD Maps for Self-Driving Cars
Open-source Orthanc server for medical imaging turns 5, new release available
Kyle Vogt, YC alum and CEO of Cruise said on Monday "It's looking like months, not years, that we're going to have the first commercial production of driverless cars". They're pursuing robotaxis which won't have the option of allowing an occupant to take over.

The initial intent with Google's Koala cars in 2015 was to deploy them sans steering wheel, but they were thwarted by hamfisted regulation from California's DOT. That's expected to be revised before the end of this year.

* data density (up to 100 times more than barcodes)

* built in error correction (partially marred qr codes can still be used)

Barcodes still have their place but the QR code does have some unique properties
A broken stoplight is considered a 4-way stop under the law here. There's no need for hand signals or flashing headlights. Though, Police may direct traffic if necessary.

I wouldn't call it an ideal model. It was used before for similar purposes of transporting data between long distances. You could argue whether it served its purpose or not.

Sorry, mixed up seeds with pollen.

Regardless, to me that's a distinction without a difference. Suing a farmer because he used seeds that blew into his property is still a dick move. Too bad the Canadian courts don't seem to agree (though considering that the Supreme Court decision was a 5-4 split, I'd argue that the legality of contaminating someone's field with genetically-modified seeds and then suing farmers for using those seeds or the products thereof is still very contestable, and for good reason).
Clinton lost because the DNC cheated to get her where she was in the first place... She was supposed to be the candidate that could never lose, and Bernie Or Bust isn't a real thing... Sure as heck was, I know Bernie supporters who voted Trump out of spite (mostly the independents) -- I wrote Bernie in personally, because I'd rather see the shit storm that is Trump -- piss people off so badly and ruin the entire reputation of the Republican party that progressive politics will come back in full force in 4 years. Than see clinton in office starting more wars we don't need and doing more regime change and taking money from special interests.

There's a real hatred for the elite class right now in America, some idiots thought Trump was that answer but he IS an elite. Bernie was the answer but the DNC thought they could quash him, now he's the most popular member of congress - and more progressives are running and winning than ever before.

2020 will be interesting to see if he runs again, if he does he'll probably be the next president. Even Nate Silver has said that Bernie is currently the front-runner for 2020 much as Clinton was in 2013.
you agree that a company's policies don't tell you anything about whether it's good to work there? "If you clock in to work even 1 minute late even a single time, you are not eligible for your bonus that month" is a real policy I've actually heard about. it doesn't tell me anything about working there?

You guys don't know what a policy is. you (jsjonst) think it's "follow all applicable laws" which subsume anything illegal like harassment over some protected status. so you think no company needs any specific policy about anything related to that.

your parent thinks policies don't say anything about what it's like to work somewhere.

you both think there are no values that are unambiguously good and whose alternative no one adopts or would adopt, but which are meaningful to adopt. To me "meaningfully adopt" means "immediately add actionable, objective policies everyone can follow" to. to me, that's how you adopt a value. through policies. to you two, there is no relationship between the two.

I simply disagree with both of you.

we have nothing further to talk about. we are too far apart.

I can agree to disagree with the two of you without calling you flat-Earthers.

That's true. Power to the fans and lights is pretty small. And the savings projected is also much less.

A compartment has about 120 seats with 8 seats in one section. So about 15 sections. Each section has 3 fans & 3 Lights.

With a guesstimate of 50 W per fan and 30 W per light, that is about 3.6 kW.

Most of the lights are off during day journeys and much of the night. Lights are mostly ON during 4 hours dusk-night time. Fans are ON almost 24/7.

For a 24 hour journey, we are looking at 60 kWH per compartment. Trains usually have about 20 compartments on avg. So about 1200 kWh per ride.

Diesel based power can be reliably put at about 20 Rs. / kWh (Grid power is about 5 Rs. / kWh).

So assuming a completely solar powered ride, about 24,000 Rs. saved for a 24 hour ride. Close to about 370 USD.

About 135000 USD saved per year + additional cost in terms of power gen. eqpt. maintenance, labor, etc.
"Scanning QR codes to enter an address when making a transaction is pretty much the only feasible option I know of. Manually entering a very long random string is too much of a hassle, especially if you'd want to do real-world transactions."

When we see articles about AI needing to be regulated by CEOs like Elon Musk, it's not because AIs are going to take over the world. It's because AIs alone cannot work seamlessly in certain environments and regulations are needed to make the environment(eg roads, signs, bicycles, pedestrians, other vehicles) conform to the needs of AI.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

Hopefully, when these regulations are written, there will be rules added to ensure drivers and mechanics can inspect and debug the computer code in their vehicles.
Phone OS's not having built-in QR code readers suppressed the usefulness of QR codes. It was maybe for security reasons, if so that also points to a problem with the protocol.

Yes, right, that's correct. The infection vector itself is precisely what is known as the "back door". That's the point. Back doors are the vector, whereas with phishing the user is the vector.

The definition of a backdoor is an attack that bypasses security and doesn't require user input. The definition of phishing is an attack that requires user input, by tricking the user into using their own credentials to authorize access.

Back doors can be opened intentionally or unintentionally by whoever designed or setup the system, but they allow an attacker to get in without involving any input or action from a legitimate user of the system.

Phishing is a way to infect a device with malware by tricking the user into installing the malware. That's exactly what happened here. GhostCtrl is malware that infects via phishing, because it requires the user to authorize it, and it does not have an attack vector it can use without the user's authorization.

It sounds like we're all straightened out and in agreement?
It can store various data formats, eg. vcard. You scan it and save every phone number, email, etc immediately. Or WiFi credetials, including both the network and the password: scan, tick, connected.
It is. Those are valid complaints, every language has issues, but with each iteration the number of complaints the average user has tends to drop because convenience features are introduced.
I'd hazard a guess at probably not a lot. The onboard telescopes and cameras are likely calibrated to look at and focus on specific sized patches (say 15km by 15km) of the earth between certain altitudes (say LEO distance + -450m to 9000m).

Turning them to look outwards might just capture something if it happened to be inside the size of patch and whatever the telescope/camera combo can focus on (which would be the LEO distance plus or minute a bit). But space is big, even at 500km above the earth, so the likelihood of finding something in your field of view such as another satellite is probably quite low. Stars and other astronomical objects might be too dim/out of focus.

[Disclaimer: not a rocket scientist]
I also expect new infrastructure to be the most likely solution. I wouldn't expect it to be 4G/5G mobile service though.

I always thought that the next infrastructure would be a series of wireless mesh networks. They are extremely censorship resistant and can operate on unlicensed frequencies which makes them resistant to centralized control.

I've heard about projects like https://nycmesh.net and http://guifi.net that have sprung up even while the internet was fairly neutral. That leaves me hopeful that this type of project will quickly replace wired infrastructure if it quickly becomes needed.

I'm nowhere close to an expert in this field so I would love to be corrected if I'm wrong about any of that. I would also love someone more informed than myself to talk about the current state of wireless mesh and/or 4G/5G mobile.

Really not a fan of the "free for now, we'll give you an idea of pricing in the future". I understand that the team at StackOverflow probably doesn't have an idea on pricing, but it makes it extremely difficult to jump on and try the product.

I guess in that situation, our team should just wait until it's out and public. But a lot of these "free betas" go on for months or even years. I know this isn't always the case, but it almost feels like at times, the goal is to get users dependent on the product before telling them how much you're going to take/charge.
Talos II is a followup to to their attempted crowd funding attempt of a POWER8 based "Talos Secure Workstation" last year, which did not meet its funding goal and failed. This article is a sort of post-mortem by them on why they thought it mattered and was still worth pursuing, and after the last 6 month's developments in x86 it seems worth a revisit (and perhaps some of the works exploring a tightening grip on general purpose computing by Cory Doctorow and such). They made some basic blunders in the launch of their crowd funding campaign, such as only offering a maxed out super expensive workstation at the start and adding still expensive, but much more sane options later. It's hard to say whether that would have actually made any significant difference given how far they were from their minimum target, but that sort of thing does sap momentum. Perhaps they've found a better angle with lessons learned (or the economics have improved since last year).

They claim Talos II will be open for pre-orders next month, so whether it ends up being vaporware may become at least somewhat clearer at that point (an actual preorder certainly isn't shipping, but it's more serious then a mere announcement or "coming someday" product page too). It's not as if POWER9 is generally available yet anyway.

For me if I see a QR code and there's also a printed url then I'll just google it faster than finding my qr app. If it was more complex data than that it might be useful but I'm looking in my QR code history and I don't see them being used for anything but simple links.
Interactive latency. Being able to type and have it appear on the screen instantly, reliably.

> Decent PC or Mac with SSD is much faster than iPad

Yes, but speed isn't latency and hardware speed is irrelevant.

My DOS-based 286-12 had better latency than my Surface Book and MacBook Air do, mainly because DOS has no (or very little) multitasking. My iPhone also has excellent latency as it limits the APIs available to background tasks, stopping the typical 'Windows Search Service' (or any other random background executable) killing foreground performance.
Rounding behavior is important for more than medical imaging and physics simulations. Many embedded systems controlling or sensing something in the real world care about it. Not just things like cars and planes, but imagine control loops designed for up-times of years that suddenly serious numerical stability issues because part of the IEEE standard got thrown out.
Cryptocurrencies have only been around for 8 years. It's no wonder that we're still figuring out if being your own bank is possible. There's a long road ahead, a lot of innovation to be had. But being your own bank is a worthwhile and potentially achievable goal. Assessing the current state of the system and saying it has failed, at such an early stage, is folly.

fiber deployment is a meaningless number what people care about is connection speeds.

Average connection speed is also meaningless as it's minimum speeds that matter. (From you link %Above 25 Mbps Pennsylvania 26%) 1 Gbit conneciton does not make up for 40 1mbps connections. 2 county's have less than 30% access to 25MBPS connections, and no the few 1Gbps connections in no way make up for this deficit.

PS: Though I agree PA has solid internet access. I just disagree with how you are measuring it.
I agree that it's complex for the layman, but in reality it's really simple for anyone familiar with how crypto works. Even if they didn't, I usually just explain it like this:

Your account number is made up of two parts - one part lets you view and deposit, the other lets you withdraw. You can give the first part of your account number to anyone (if you don't mind seeing how much money you have), but you should keep the second part you keep very safe.

In fact, once people hear that the second part (the private key) allows you to withdraw, they don't even need to hear the rest.

For many people though, they don't like the idea that people who can deposit can also view amounts and transactions. I guess that's why cryptos like Monero are worth looking into.
