I noticed that books in general have different constraints as well in not having an infinite vertical view of the code unlike a text editor. The act of publishing to physical paper imposes constraints on line length both horizontally and vertically. I wonder if that drove part of it.

No I can't since it's closed source software. But why would they not read your personal data in the browser, if they did (do?) with other products like Gmail? Give me one reason why I should trust them?

There are people who care more about their private data and others that care less. If you find Chrome trustworthy, go with it. For me a closed source browser is not an option.
It's worth noting that the pancreas produces more than insulin, though that's the most common failure. Cystic Fibrosis patients have scarring/blocking of the pancreas that results in malnutrition due to inadequate delivery of digestive enzymes. (CF is known as a lung disease, but earliest diagnoses, when patients died early enough to not develop lung issues yet, were due to malnutrition and autopsies reveal cysts and fibrotic tissue on the pancreas - "cystic fibrosis of the pancreas" in earliest writings)

Just a long-winded way of being pendantic and saying this couldn't be an artifical pancreas, but just perform one of its roles :-)
it's only an excuse if you moved your company to silicon valley and it turns out they were lying and still didn't want to invest.

As it is you got a hard "no, because of your location."

I am shocked that you think location doesn't matter and that it was not the truth.

whoever advised you of that is wrong. of course it matters. why do you think more deals happen in silicon valley than elsewhere? because there are no good startups elsewhere?

shockingly misinformed/in denial. you should have believed the reason you were very clearly given. or falsified it by moving to silicon valley. or realized that actually, you are the one saying no.

By giving something to someone.

I mean, legally, what happens is not "consenting to theft". Unlike say assault, which you can consent to, and legally speaking an assault actually happens but consent makes it okay; but with theft, if you consent what happens is not legally theft. (IANAL, but this is my recollection from law A-levels.)

But that distinction is irrelevant here. The point is that there's basically no way for someone to deliberately kill someone and have it not be a crime. But there are ways for someone to take someone else's stuff and have it not be a crime, and one way is if the owner consents.
That's kind of an odd metric to begin with. Radius would probably be derived from the imperfections in the consistency of matter. Whether that distribution is gaussian probably depends on the fabrication process and the materials...

Well, you can use third-party syncing with local vaults to sync with family members, e.g. using Dropbox sync with a Dropbox shared folder to share your vault with a family member. This just doesn't fall under the heading of "team" or "family" syncing.
This is a really good illustration of why Vue.js is such a big deal. It's very easy to pull in incrementally into an existing codebase. I'm working on a very large Rails installation right now that has an old-school front-end basically cobbled together with jQuery, and rather than throw out several years of effort just to get the "new shiny", we're adding Vue.js in as needed in parts of the app undergoing new development. Eventually we'd like to go back and start rewriting older features as well.

Long story short, getting Vue.js, jQuery, and even Turbolinks to play together nicely was actually not hard, and the rapid pace of development now and the ease at which Vue.js can be used without throwing away all existing domain knowledge in the front-end is impressive. As both a Ruby and a Javascript developer, I've always had a love-hate relationship with the latter, but programming JS using Vue has made doing front-end code way more fun. :)

I'm confused. Does this imply that photos within this app can be taken similar to 'live photos' - where a single tap records both a full-res still pic AND a video? Or is this app just for recording stabilized / loopable videos?

I recently switched to iOS after using Android for years and live photos are a huge draw for me. I don't care if they're stabilized or loopable, I just love the context they add in (audio, movement) while also having a still photo.

Richard McElreath has some nice points about variable independence assumptions. Concretely, for a model this assumption represents the state of "ignorance" and is the most conservative choice (i.e. doesn't assume any correlation). That said, he also mentions the "mind projection fallacy" of confusing epistemological claims with ontological claims, which may in turn be the reason why many assume normal distributions for everything.
That's awesome. Did this system go into production? If so, were you able to monitor how (or if) teachers used the shared curriculum to iteratively improve curriculum? Did the platform manage discrete files or were lesson content/relevant media/assessments/etc. associated with each other in a network of some kind?

It's a topic of personal interest. I believe teachers are far too isolated in their lesson planning/curriculum creation which leads to significant redundancies in labor, glacial curriculum improvement, and contributes to the difficulty serving the needs of my individual students.
Nearly-exact is definitely not exact. To my ear 'heterodox' connotes difference and pluralism while 'unorthodox' is more of a negation. (Of course other mileages may vary.) But different words always exist for a reason—if they didn't, one would have fallen out of use. Pretentiousness is not enough to keep a word alive!
None of those are intermediaries that police and reverse transactions. Even escrow services do not offer the same protection as credit card chargebacks, which go out to 90 days or longer. Once you implement that type of intermediary, the primary raison d'être of cryptocurrency -- decentralization and immutability -- goes out the window.

I take note that you have reduced the claimed value of cryptocurrency from decentralization and immutability to mere "efficient trust establishment". However you are still making a totally unsupported claim that it is more efficient that existing methods (e.g. getting a credit card or payment processor). Considering the enormous energy cost of mining you will need to offer some support for that. Otherwise it's just frothy hype.

It breaks the internet because it breaks IP - the internet protocol. Segregating devices onto separate networks that are not routable to each other is something that reduces the overall functionality of the internet, not enhances it.

It doesn't help that it's a shitty hack which causes endless lost time either spent wondering why something is broken, or through designing entire protocols just to get around it.

I don't agree with the view that a component doesn't need a prop "itself" if it "only" passes it on to a child component. That child component is a part of the parent. If one decided that e.g. the child is too simple to warrant to be its own component and inlined its render() content in the parent instead, suddenly its used props would be needed by the parent "itself".

Another thing to consider is that one tightly couples components to stores when connecting. So reusability of these components is hampered.

> Is it possible there's something else in your environment interfering with the BT signal? Perhaps an office with lots of other BT connections?

Bluetooth uses the frequency range between 2,402 GHz and 2,480 GHz. This is in the ISM band that is also used by Wi-Fi. Indeed according to the German Wikipedia article on Bluetooth (I could not find such a remark in the article in the English wikipedia)

> https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bluetooth&oldid=1...

Bluetooth can be disrupted by Wi-Fi, microwave ovens and cordless phones (but not by cordless phones using the DECT standard as is common in Germany).

Governments typically already do this for classified information. If there's data that really shouldn't get out to the Internet, don't let anything on that network connect to the Internet. They'll also have procedures for moving things from one network to the another which are intended to avoid inadvertent disclosure and malware infection. Your average company or public radio station won't implement this sort of thing because it's too complicated and costly--or at least that's been the attitude until recently. Maybe we'll start to see the use of small isolated networks for things like the security system they mentioned in the article, or accounting/HR which deal with PII and money. Then you just have to convince the security guy not to plug his personal laptop into the security network, and get the HR employees to stop moving USB sticks back and forth between HR-net and the regular Internet-connected LAN :)

When a feature is present, without strong disincentives, it will be misused; consider for example matplotlib: many functions have over 10 possible default arguments, and discoverability is almost nil (stack exchange is the place to look for answers).
That doesn't seem like all that different of a problem. I'm certainly not an expert on BBR, but from reading the description, the design goals seem to explicitly include dealing with buffers better (by making efforts to not fill them to the max) and being less skittish about packet loss.

Specifically, the description (in the git commit) says it has a "congestion control algorithm that reacts to actual congestion, not packet loss or transient queue delay" and that it estimates the size of the queue it probably created and paces packets in order to "utilize the pipe without creating excess queue". (And that last part addresses large buffers. Even if they can't be turned off, they only fill up if you send enough data to fill them.)

Obviously it isn't magic and there is only so much any algorithm can do in the face of a cruddy physical network layer, but the traditional algorithm makes a bad situation much worse than it has to be, so there is still the potential for a newer algorithm (like BBR) to make a big improvement.

Anyway, more to the point, cruddy wifi is what a lot of people use to browse the web, so it's not surprising to me if Google tried to account for that in their design.
I don't like anti-discrimination laws that go much beyond that though. They were really designed for manual labor jobs and the like. A law that prevents employers from asking questions is easily enforceable.
HTTP/2 runs on top of a single TCP connection so it's still vulnerable to TCP ordering requirements.

TCP will probably never have a mainstream solution to this, better to switch to UDP or QUIC instead.
It might be worth noting that this seems more to do with why different transistor types are being used (fin-fets, nano tubes, etc) since we really haven't reached the physical limit of "traditional" transistors yet. I'd also argue that the motivation behind quantum computers is very much unrelated to limitations on transistor sizes, and more about the algorithms that can potentially be much faster than on traditional logic, such as shor's factoring algorithm
Or, another perspective, all of the Tech Wearables industry is pretty much DOA. Intel is hardly the first company to bow out of the space, and will likely not be the last.

The tech simply isn't there. Smartwatches don't have enough utility compared to the downsides of constant charging, and are much too power hungry for automatic or mobile charging (though wireless charging probably gave these devices a slight bump).

Battery life is very much the chief complaint, followed by weight (which, of course, ties right back to battery life). The smarter you want to make a device, the more power it needs, and the more of a battery it needs. Even your ATmegas are going to struggle - we're simply just not there yet.

I suspect it'll be another case of the Newton - it's cool, way ahead of its time tech. Give it ten years and we'll be way closer to making something truly useful with it.

Only sort of. You still have some HOL blocking problems with HTTP2 because you're still running on top of TCP. I recall this explicitly being one of the selling points of QUIC.

What's more surprising is how little the central limit theorem holds and is useful, yet is still used all the time to justify poor analysis, usually a/b testing.

Interesting approach for using GraphQL with a graph database.
There is also an integration for Neo4j [1] that works similarly (it translates GraphQL to Cypher), however it also exposes Cypher in GraphQL through a @cypher directive, which maps complex graph traversals/aggregations to a single GraphQL field.

I don't see what's wrong with this. It's a clear no without slamming the door on a future investment should the scenario change. If the VC would say "VC: Thanks, but this isn’t a fit for us ever" that would be shortsighted.
Note that what they reportedly found is a stronger positive correlation between relationships and happiness than between money and fame and happiness (just based on the article):

"Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed"

So going after fame and money doesn't necessarily lead you to become unhappy (if we interpret the results as causal). Quality personal relationships just makes you even happier.

Also, I'm curious to what extent cultivating meaningful relationship serves as a coping mechanism for people with little money or social status (alternatively, focusing on making money and acquiring high social status to compensate for poor personal relationship development skills). My impression, based on my observations from people I've met in developing countries, is that low income / social status people tend to have richer and active communities and personal relationships. High status individuals tend to be lonelier. But this could just be confirmation bias.

I actually haven't observed this in my own life - I saved a pretty consistent 80% of my take-home compensation the whole time I was at Google, and my lifestyle now is basically the same as when I moved to California 8 years ago. I know a handful of other people in the same position, as well as a fair number of people whose expenses did creep up to meet their income.

The common behavior among the people whose expenses didn't creep up: they decided, at an early age and when they were still poor, what sort of lifestyle they needed to make themselves happy, and they didn't deviate from that, regardless of whatever other messages society sends them.

Or in slightly different terms: build your lifestyle up from zero and default to "No" when asking yourself "Do I need X?", rather than working you way down from your current income and defaulting to "Yes" when asking yourself "Can I afford X?"

Another side benefit of this approach is that it makes you immune to advertising & scams, and tends to result in a lot less clutter around the house. If your answer is always "No" unless you've sat on any decision for at least a month, then everything that involves convincing you to open up your wallet isn't going to get very far. (The downside is that you don't develop much of a trade sense of what people will pay for, because you personally won't pay for anything, which is a whole other sort of problem if you want to found a startup.)
Consistent Testing, Production Environments for CI CD Deployment
I don't see the need for either Redux or MobX. React is the V in MVC. Use an MVC framework with React, and everything get simple, easy and productive. There are MVC frameworks that work well with React. Redux is unnecessary complexity and the need for it came about because of ReactRouter. If you use an MVC router you can avoid a whole bunch of complexity.

BTW, using MVC doesn't imply two-way data binding.
