Qualified doesn't mean clever, it just means "losing isn't a big deal."

The only people to whom losing a 50-100k investment won't be life-changingly bad are either high net worth or high income.

There is a lot of frustration from this crowd about not being able to invest a sensibly small amount of money in an ICO / early stage startup / other risky thing. As a curious technologist who can handle a bit of risk, I can empathize! But we're not who the SEC is designed to protect. They're there to stop situations where people get half their life savings ripped off, and that is completely sensible.
Worst-case, the effect could be that they don't protect eyes properly, causing blindness.

Could explain the 1tb minimum. Hoping most people don't get close to it.
Yea, Idk. Back kn the early APU days I remember hearing that Apple wanted to use AMD's high end mobile APUs, but it fell through due to lack of supply.
If, like me, you're planning on being on the Wind River Reservation for it, don't worry too much about the permit you supposedly need. The town of Pavillion is charging five bucks for parking, but that's literally the only thing I can find anywhere that mentions any cost at all. This site, which is linked to by the city of Riverton, seems pretty official, and doesn't mention permits of any sort (...guess we'll see on eclipse day!):

As good as Amazon is, and for all the work they've put in, maybe in 10 years it's all commodity?

There's products that have data attached to it, price, availability, product information. Big deal?

Then there's logistics, also a commodity. Travelling salesman and Knapsack problems are solved and thus the product will arrive at your door the next day. Big deal?

In the end, maybe Amazon is just a middle man, an inefficiency?
Couldn't some of this be achieved on sort of volunteer basis, like how you can run an exit node for Tor?
I'd refer you to Ben Edelman's explanation of the Google MADA. http://www.benedelman.org/news/021314-1.html (Note: He has been paid to consult for Microsoft, he's a biased source. But he's the person who initially discovered these agreements and put them somewhere public on the Internet.)

EDIT: Sidebar, but the whole "Private business discussions should stay private" comment in your link... Bezos knows how appalled we'd all be if we saw the way these companies acted behind closed doors. There's a reason the MADA is confidential too.

Is a few lives saved in (rare) high speed accidents worth setting off explosions in people's faces and turning an otherwise minor accident into a trip to the hospital?

If all you care about are deaths per distance then you probably want the former. If you care about minimizing accidents that require any medical care reducing the number of small explosions near people's faces is the better bet. Someone else posted the a NYT link that's relevant.

This is for driver's frontal airbags only. Passenger airbags and side curtain airbags are less bad because people usually sit farther from the passenger airbag and there is less support in side impacts.
It's actually a really great turnaround story by Nokia. They sold their sinking mobile phone hardware part of the company to Microsoft. They kept their part of the Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) and the Nokia Research Center (now Nokia Technologies), which owns all the patents and licenses Nokia has ever developed. They also sold their HERE maps unit to car makers. During all this Nokia bought Siemens share of the NSN and this formed the basis to the new Nokia. Then they bought french networking equipment company Alcatel-Lucent. Now Nokia is one of the worlds largest telecommunications and networking equipment manufacturer along Huawei and Ericsson. Previously Nokia was one of the world largest brands and consumer electronics company.
It's used by fairly big projects/Companies bet365, Bleacher Report, New Relic,Discord, PagerDuty, Puppet labs, FireEye etc.

> it could include HIV/AIDS, once a big killer of heroin users which we can now treat for much better.

If it does, that still supports this theory.

My father in law is a leading portuguese HIV expert, and he credits decreminalisation as a key factor in actually getting those patients into clinics and on treatment.
For you :-)
> Because the left has politicized science. Science should be apolitical. Many on the left do not fail to provide those on the right justifications for dismissing science outright. This will not be fixed until those on the left with a high respect for the impartiality of science start to condemn those on the left that abuse that science to further their message.

No. The fact the Right has moved so far past the center that they can't find facts to support their positions has resulted in the Right politicizing science and when that fails they ban information from being used and/or removing them from advisory boards.

> North Carolina, whose barrier islands are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise, was widely mocked in 2012 when the General Assembly passed a law barring communities from using a report containing 100-year projections of sea level rise—up to 39 inches—in their planning. Three years later a compromise was reached; legislators found a new report with a 30-year time horizon less alarming, and agreed that was permissible.

> In the interim, though, coastal planning lagged. Under then-Governor Pat McCrory (R), climate change information disappeared from the state’s Department of Environmental Quality Web site. The legislature altered the makeup of the Coastal Resources Commission, which overseas coastal planning, to remove some scientists and conservation group representatives and replaced them with more business-friendly members.

How is this any different from Ashton Kutcher being publicly bullish about Bitcoin, or Mark Cuban endorsing unikrn? Or more generally, any celebrity flaunting high-priced luxury goods like BMWs and Rolexes?

Yeah, it feels great to be all self-righteous and lecture Mayweather, but that energy would be far better spent imparting financial literacy on the hundreds of millions who don't know any better.

Most modern illness is caused by a pervasive lack of autophagy, which is basically a cellular cleaning cycle for your body. Since we're all rich and we eat and snack all the time, autophagy cycles are basically never activated. The body needs "feasting" for cellular growth, but is also _needs_ famine for cellular dismantling and re-purposing. Otherwise you'll have cells with damaged mitochondria that keep clinging to life even though they are broken and very inefficient. Sometimes these damaged cells even replicate out of control, AKA cancer.[1] Cancer cells, since they typically rely on sugar fermentation for fuel instead of oxygen, would normally be "marked" as damaged and dismantled during an autophagy cleaning cycle, but since we never stop eating sugar that never happens. Same with migraines.. in my view you basically have a bunch of damaged cells in your brain that need dismantled and cleared out. But unless you fast (or eat keto, however that's a bit less efficient for autophagy) your neural cleaning cycle simply never runs.[2]

Being able to change your light intensity a few shades (more than a manual light intensity switch) is a far cry from being able to send e-mail in critical situations from your phone. Even then I'd say e-mail on your phone just isn't that useful; your example to show "this totally isn't a gimmick" could have been much better.
Or does it have GNU stewardship because it's a lame project?
Sounds interesting. How does this hold up against stuff like DC/OS' Virtual-IP black magic routing?
Most people will never be in an airbag deploying crash in their lives. Of the minority that will very few will be in the kind of crash where a (frontal) airbag is what prevents them from serious harm.

If OEMs would just be less trigger happy with frontal airbag deployment then I'd be satisfied but the problem with that is that then you get the Concerned Mothers Association(TM) complaining about OEMs not doing everything they can to "save lives" and publicizing a few edge cases.

What mitigation strategies? You say that as if someone is trying to push some agenda that hurts you, we're not even to that point because we can't agree that the sky is blue and the planet is warming. Nobody is limiting your power use or instating curfews, you can have all the incandescent light bulbs you want and 5 TV's if you can afford the power bill. We're fighting right now (in the US that is, no where else for the most part) to move the gasoline further from the open flame, thats it. The only thing of note happening is the move (almost entirely driven by private enterprise) from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The worst case scenario of this switch is that the planet might continue increasing in temperature, albeit slower, but we'll have cleaner air (yes I know there are environmental considerations for renewables as well, but those issues can and will be worked through with time).
The singular focus on "drug deaths due to overdose" tells an important part of the story, but not the whole story. For example, per Wikipedia, drug use may have doubled after decriminalization.* If so, that's an acceptable tradeoff to me but may not be to others.

Cars, and even planes are way too slow to track the moon's shadow across earth. The speed seems to vary from ~1500-3000 mph depending on how close you are to the equator. An SR-71 Blackbird would have a hard time keeping up with that.
What exactly is your point?

That he shouldn't be inventing all this stuff? Why not?

As the article says, he's ahead of the curve. The next generation will consider all this stuff normal, and just the way the world works.

But if we didn't have people making stuff just because they wanted it, nothing would ever happen.
>With less nicotine, some smokers will inevitably smoke more, thereby consuming more cancer-causing chemicals than before this move by the FDA.

Yes, this is exactly what will happen as happens with any addictive drug. The solution causes the problem to be worse. The government really needs to get out of the drug war business.
There's zero mention of Amazon there. My link has a purported quote direct from Bezos on the issue. If you want to make the case that Amazon's Fire devices aren't Google-suite compatible because they don't follow Google's requirements, uh, yeah, that's fine. I don't see the conflict.

That has nothing to do with Prime Video on Android (i.e. in Google Play) not supporting Google Cast. That's an intentional decision by Amazon. To enable Chromecast in their iOS/GPlay apps, Amazon just needs to register the app (https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration), not agree to the MADA on other devices.

Amazon might as well ban all Microsoft products because MS doesn't allow Amazon to replace Cortana with Alexa on all sold-thru-Amazon PCs.
I've been playing around with this:

The login infrastructure uses a standard auth service, but once that gets going, seems like traffic goes directly from client to client. Avoids the peer discovery but once both (or more) clients know where everyone is, the transport is from client to client (at least it looks that way from tcpdump).
Romania did better than Portugal. What are they doing better than Portugal? Why is Portugal's liberal policy on drugs heralded so great when it's not the best of the list?

(I'm not saying that it's a bad policy but why is the article focused on pushing that policy?)

Also what I want to see: What about Portugal makes it work? Could you test that assertion against a different country if you made the contextual changes and the change there?

This exactly.

They claim certifications and safety ratings they do not have.

If they're not actually suitable, the result can be severe eye damage.

As for identifying the "real thing", I found the specific brand NASA recommends, and then tried to find a reputable supplier through Amazon with reviews indicating, by people who've tested them, that they were genuine.

It's still not foolproof, but at least it's something.

At minimum, if you're in the market for glasses for the eclipse, if you can see anything other than the sun when you put them on, they're not dark enough. Solar glasses are REALLY dark.
I may be missing something, but how do you take a log on the RHS of p(c_1|w)? The denominator has a sum i.e. "1+ something", which the log doesn't distribute over.
I've noticed that C and C++ have pretty fanatical and very narrow-minded fanbase. And I am talking about people of ages 50+ as well -- I was acquainted with several of them (in the real physical world) as well.

So IMO it's absolutely pointless trying to argue with them in the first place. They are set in their ways and while a good chunk of them are pretty strict and excellent in what they do, they are not open to any changes.

I would be the first to agree that Go and Rust aren't ready to start replacing drivers but IMO people should start trying! (Or invest in LLVM some more?)

C/C++'s faults aren't ever going away. They're too convenient in their target area. I am against the overly-used "disruption" term -- I happen to believe the USA tech blogosphere bastardized the term long ago -- but IMO the systems programming area is very, VERY overdue for disruption.

It's time.
Any label needs context, consider the label "3" or even "9 m/s^2," the first can refer to anything the second to an acceleration or to a gravitational field strength. In the case of weather, "extremely hot" is just what one would call a summer that is hotter above the usual variability. I would argue, that the label is rather good for the context of a NYT article in that the reader would refer to that category as "extremely hot."

Based on that response I have to assume you weren't in the tech industry in the 1990s. $16 million was considered a large sum of venture capital during the mid 1990s, just a few years prior to the story taking place. By 1998/1999 it was still considered a large amount of venture capital, despite the wave of capital that would make companies like Webvan infamous.
Parents buy iPod Touches for their kids, so they have a cheap wi-fi enabled gaming and entertainment device, with no monthly contracts, that fits in mom's purse.

Companies buy iPod Touches to use as ticket scanners, credit card readers and product catalogs among other things. Same reason – cheap, wi-fi enabled, no contracts.
YMMV on protocols, just depends on what you're looking for. Most reasonable protocols you'd want are supportable. The only time I've been left scratching my head was trying to get the VM running on a SOCKS proxy, which I think probably speaks more to my lack of familiarity with doing so (though in the source of this I found that the native SOCKS libraries were removed some time ago.

We're using it at a client as a kind of nexus of all our legacy systems, in fact.
> Stop gaming peer review by having the papers reviewed by a group of people who all agree.

https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

> Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.

When you have 97% agreement on a subject its difficult to guarantee the 3% is represented in every peer review. That isn't "gaming" the system. That is just the reality of how Science works across the board.

You aren't going to magically find a small, vocal minority has the bandwidth and numbers to be represented 50% of the time like you find in politics.
Bitcoin exists to avoid regulation. If laws are built around it, then either Bitcoin or the law will be changed.

What's frustrating is that lots of people will superficially disagree at 5 and seem reasonable, but if you dig a little deeper, they actually disagree at 1 and you are wasting your time.

It's unfortunately my prior at this point. The people with uninformed objections at 1 are a much larger group than people who agree with 1:n-1 and can have a nuanced discussion of n.

For me the sweet spot is somewhere in between. If it just shipped with a decent auth module that would work for 90% of people, but that could also be easily replaced or extended if needed, that would be the best of both worlds.
On the contrary, it's ALL paid by the buyer. Think about it, the buyer is the only one putting net cash into the equation. If the seller just takes the buyer's money to give to both of the real estate agents, it's still really just the buyer that is paying everyone.

There have been several previous articles about micro-dosing in the Bay Area. One woman was using LSD microdosing instead of traditional anti-anxiety drugs. A fifth to a tenth of a dose seems to have an extremely mild calming effect. There have also been studies of using psychedelic drugs to treat PTSD. More research is probably a great idea. I wonder if there's some way to make it legal to study so the science can provide reliable data.
