> You also have to consider the time it takes to recharge an electric car is much higher than the time to refuel an ICE car.

True, but for most drivers on most days they will be able to charge up at home overnight. Charge time won't matter as much then. Drivers in dense urban environments will likely move towards a car sharing model since, as you noted, the costs and practicality of infrastructure retrofitting will be exorbitant.
Because most people don't really understand how much information is collected. See, for example this article about browser extensions: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2017/08/use-brows...
I just want to say thank you to everyone who takes the time to write explanations and publish them for free, so that people like me can learn. Be that in the form of good insides like the ones in this article, blog posts, docs, tutorials, videos, etc.

What most help me is seeing different points of view. Sometimes the first explanation doesn't make sense, or the next one, but then you find someone who explains it from a different perspective and that's the one that makes you go ooohhh!
I'm reading this thinking the same thing.

I've never put myself in a position where a freeware product had that much impact on my life. Heck I even pay to backup the paid services to a third party so I have a failover there.

You shouldn't blame Google, you should blame yourself.
That's never been the case for any gym I've ever belonged to.
Let's take a pessimistic guess at the efficacy of antivirus software and say it blocks 50% of the new malware generated in a given day.

AV is unlikely to do that well against new malware.
> I've never understood "don't judge a book by its cover"; the alternative is to read every single book?

Rubbish. Unless you work from home and aren't forced to engage with dozens of people each day, which is what most people who work in cities (and by virtue make up a considerable portion of the population) do, then filtering by discussion is a lot easier than striking up a conversation with every person who wears shit that jives to your sensibilities or sips on something you think is hip.
Windows 10S will do just that, whenever it is released.
There is a new plugin called "spotty" (see here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107615-Announce...) that lets you stream spotify to any client.
The Leaf is a bit lean on range for me.

That's not a bad price, though.
True. And in all reality, this is great for consumers and bad for holders of inventory.

There's a tendency among people in business to mark everything to market. This helps avoid otherwise hidden losses but it doesn't actually make sense in some situations. For example, in the case of a family that owns two cars and replaces one every five years.
What happens after those 2 years or 20 [1] years? And then I die?

I'd take the pleasure.

[1] The post originally said "20" years then updated to 4 years, but my answer is the same.

That's basically what Tesla is doing with their Model 3.
One example is Xerox's PARC.
Sexual harassment and power structures are intertwined. That's part of what this whole story is about. If they weren't so powerful, it would be much harder for them to get away with this, and they would probably be less likely to do it in the first place.

Their whiteness is a part of their power. It's not the only, and maybe not even the primary reason for their power, but it's certainly relevant.
I'm not even saying you should never use an LCG. Go ahead, if you're absolutely sure you need it, in the very specific places that you actually need it. But not only are CSPRNGs performance competitive on modern machines, but most places that need RNGs aren't in the performance hot-spot anyways.
Sounds like we have a solution: open up the auction for individual buyers to keep auction prices up.

Are they? It's hard to imagine there being enough buyers to match sellers if/when a coin hits a high peak, let alone if there is a collapse of confidence in the coin or product or its promoters
And users don't author SSL streams in text editors.

You seem to have forgotten what HTML was created for. It's a document format.

If a browser did strictly enforce (what, HTML 4.01?) syntax, there would be no problem for users at all, because that browser would not have any users.
mhm, please excuse me all if this is wrong, but isn't this the exact same way it works with pretty much all of the updates from e.g. Apple and co?

Let's say a new Itunes update comes along, this requires the user to opt into a privacy policy, if there happens to have been a change in said policy since the last update, then accepting the new conditions is required in order to install the update? Same for an update in browsers, iOS, Android, ...

I am not in favour, just confused as to why this specific case is singled out? Especially since not updating critical software (Operating systems, browsers, et cetera) seems to have far more serious consequences than w/ a speaker?
AV doesn't make your system immune from risks,

AV makes your system more vulnerable to malware.

I get the idea that we should ditch an AV if vendor sucks at producing and maintaining the AV software

They all do suck.
Ok I get that you don't need to install all apps. But again, how does it affect the environment?

It would have to be formally verified, because there is no informal way to have any confidence in this sort of thing.

The informal way is to have a team pore over code. Here, the body of code is some unbounded, dynamically generated set of little routines that are individually correct with respect to an unfolding run-time situation (not in and of themselves). Good luck, know what I mean?

If you log all the generated pieces of code, you don't know whether you have the whole set of them that can be. If not, there could be the bugs in the ones you don't have. Then there is the monstrous task of going through them, and somehow correlating each one to the situation that was unfolding (maybe with the help of additional logged information).

A static, monolithic piece of code can be checked from alpha to omega; you know what you have looked and haven't looked at, and when you're done. Sure, it has the usual combinatorial explosion of possible code paths making the task hard, but compared to a whole dimension of synthesized code, it looks like a walk in the park.

If you want to use currying to speed up operating system calls, get rid of the kernel/user boundary and have the whole system (application(s) plus kernel) in a functional language and have them running in one image. Then you can use actual currying (or closures, continuations). Those techniques don't require dynamic code synthesis.
Google was a search engine that made money via ads then pivoted into an ad platform that also has a search engine. Android and Chrome are about ensuring they have a seat at the table and don't get pushed out by Apple or Microsoft. The first thing of significance they've done that doesn't fit this is their cloud platform.

One thing that isn't getting better: humans ability to drive cars. Actually with computers getting smarter, we might even be getting worse at driving cars because we're spending more time on our computers when we should be driving.

Take a modern computer and show it to a programmer from 1970 and try to convince him that computers are still remarkably dumb. I doubt he'd agree. AI always falls into this trap. Once it's been done, it's not AI. It's just an algorithm. AI is something else. And when we do something that only humans could do just a few years ago, suddenly it's not AI anymore either. It's just an algorithm. AI is something else. And when we do that, now it's just an algorithm too. AI is something else.

I have a robot vacuuming my floors right now. I just typed "vacuuming" wrong and my computer corrected me without asking, it just did it. A minute ago I asked my phone, using my voice, to turn off my bedroom lights and it did. Seems pretty mundane, I know. So too will self-driving cars in time.
You mean the APIs. But I wasn't talking about those, but rather the hardware - the only thing that you need there is ABI (or at least API) stability for drivers. So you can pull the same thing off with Linux, as well. Basically, modern desktop OSes can run on decade-old hardware, although they will have reduced functionality due to some missing features.
Shouldn't that have RAISED use vehicle prices? Or is that your point, that the dropoff would have been even larger without C4C?
Dr. Bresenham was my graphics instructor. When I later talked to other people who took graphics in college - their school had them transforming & scaling images, doing image recognition, animating scenes and so on. We drew lines and circles -- very very quickly. :)

It's also where I learned that compiler maturity matters. Everyone else in the class used Turbo Pascal. I used the then-new Turbo C (yes, plain C), and ended up with 1/3 the performance of their code.
How can I answer that? I'm not a medical researcher or statistician. And since I'm not a cat, I can't determine it empirically.
Incidentally, both are 100% compliant, since closing tags on some elements have always been optional in HTML.

With the percentage of this project being a drop in the bucket compared to the 260B war chest I have nothing but positive thoughts for Apple attempting ambitious projects. In the next ~10 years they could be a trillion dollar company if they figure out how to get iPhone like growth out of another industry.
It's worst than this. Every large Internet company has this flavor of totalitarian customer-NO-service relationship with their users. It's like you are an ant that they can step on any given Monday at 1:45 PM and Google couldn't care less. And it will not change until either the government intervenes (I hate this solution) or people do exactly as you and I are doing, we do not do business with them no matter how much candy they want to throw our way.

I have exactly zero interest in doing business with Google ever again. I don't even look at their new product announcements. I saw what they did to one of our clients about a decade ago. I have never since even looked at a Google service nor recommended them. Search, maps and AdWords are the only things I use. I won't touch anything business critical.

When a company deals with their clients the way you might expect a prepubescent third world country dictator might treat his subjects, well, the best idea is to just stay away.
I would love to have reliable and efficient mass transit. However, for most places in the USA, that seems to be politically and socially impossible. For whatever reason, Americans have almost completely rejected public transit.

For that reason, I'm more excited about self driving cars than about public transit.
This article does not explain HRV very well. Would I be correct in thinking of it as the volatility between beats? Or the erraticness between beats?

Let's say I have a heart rate of 60 bpm. And my beats are

1 second -> .9 seconds -> 1.1 seconds

While another person also at 60bpm beats are

2 seconds -> .5 seconds -> 1.5 seconds

then the second person has higher HRV and is stronger, more rested, more calm, has more energy? It's strange to think that having more erratic heart beats is better.
Check out http://reddit.com/r/cryptomarkets. Lots of good discussion (just ignore the HODL/moon trolls).

But you can read about them and hear from others.
Sonos keeps playing if your phone moves which is a pretty huge plus, especially if you know people and don't lead a life of solitude. Their hardware also has a wealth of hardware features like analog and digital inputs, zero-delay input monitoring which makes them suitable as TV or computer speakers, the ability to monitor those inputs from any zone, even if you aren't listening to them on the physically attached player, phase-locked multichannel playback, a zero-config self-extending wireless network, multiuser queue management, and twelve years of flawless software support (so far).

The idea that you get the same thing from a raspberry pi, an android, and some hacks is strictly for those valuing their own time at zero.
This is their more recent pitch, but still no eSports: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6GWa2NyEKw

I'm guessing this is a pivot they've made recently- surprised they pitched it when so early: doesn't look like they are even at proof of concept yet with this new idea.
I think it's just the "X" in XML. XML parsers are much more likely to be hand-rolled, and the standard tooling is heavyweight and mostly never caught on.

I appreciate your comment. I definitely didn't see it that way until now but I think you're right.
Overall, this looks great, but I would consider changing the following:

> if you are smart* you will get it.
> *not everyone is smart

You've just insulted the intelligence of anyone who doesn't manage to understand your explanation. I don't think it's fair to assume a lack of understanding will always be because of a lack of intelligence.

Cool idea! I just got back from Austria and was surprised about the rain. Didn't even think to pack a rain coat. Even though I checked the weather beforehand, I figured it was a minor fluke. So hard for a West Coast US person to understand that it rains some places in the summer.
So, it's "cryptographically secure" in the "sci.crypt proposal" sense.
Apple will not buy any US company using it's cash hoard because of tax implications. They can of course raise debt, similar to what Amazon is doing with Whole foods.
This does not really affect one's day-to-day use of VSCode, but their comprehensive release notes (down to crediting contributors for key issues) gives me great confidence in the team.

I frequently point to VSCode as an example of a well-run open source project.
Kiwiland is further from mainland Asia than pretty much anywhere else is, excluding the Americas. I'd go for Oceania, and throw Australia in there as well.

"[...] the customer will not be able to update the software on their Sonos system, and over time the functionality of the product will decrease."

Sounds to me like maybe the bluetooth syncing with a recent smartphone or something of that nature might not work if the speaker didn't receive a certain update, which I consider a possibility. The "cease to function" seems like a nightmarish-description of such. It's not like "not updating" will magically brick the device.

Edit: my point being that not updating software is not about not enjoying certain features, it's in many cases being incredibly vulnerable to certain types of exploits, in the case of an OS or browser a far more serious consequence, is it not?
The previous-edition "hack" you describe applies to many textbooks but Horowitz and Hill is a bit of a special case. The current edition is the 3rd, published in 2015. The 2nd edition is from 1989, and while a lot of the material is timeless (part of why the book has become a classic), as you can imagine, a lot has changed in the world of electronics since 1989 and therefore the update to the 3rd edition was widely anticipated for many years. By all means pick up a 2nd edition if you find one cheap, but it is a book where it's probably worthwhile to prefer the current edition if you have the means.
Can the "mass production self driving cars are just a couple of years away" meme finally die yet? Are we ready to admit that maybe this is a harder thing to invent than we've been trying to make ourselves believe?
I feel like there's a type error in even asking that question, because you're comparing a distribution over people with a concrete person. Like a homeless person with no income hearing that the average household income is $52,000 and wondering which president is on his dollar bills, or whether the number of $1 bills within his portion is prime.
Wait now we're talking median solutions? I thought we were talking about replacing all roads with rails/streetcars? That's what the grandparent comment was saying

So if I don't fit into this world, how do I get around? Obviously we already ruled out self-driving cars, since they'll never work. So I assume I drive my own car? Since I'm already driving my own car, why can't I just drive it to the grocery store? Do I have to drive to the train station and get on a train to get groceries, or are there still parking lots for me? How far am I expected to walk from the train to the grocery store even though I have my own car and could drive right to their door? Or are we assuming self-driving cars work for me but don't work for anyone else? In elementary school I rode the bus for an hour and a half (not even exaggerating) to get from my house to school, am I making that same trip every day to get to and from work? Even though it's 20 minutes by car?

We're talking millions of people across the country here, not an inconsequential number. We're talking about thousands of small towns where trains will NEVER work. Are we just relegating them to second class citizens who have to ride their horses to town? Damn it's so easy for people in big cities to come up with these clever solutions, of course everyone can just take a train or a bus. Except millions of people can't.

But they're just minor outliers, right?
It's not so much a bug as defective by design:

1. Have guests over.

2. Want to play music.

3. Get out phone.

4. Launch Sonos app.

5. "Hi, we think now would be a great time to update the firmware on your Sonos devices. We could have done this at any time during the last two weeks since you used any of your Sonos devices, but your time is worthless to us, so we'll make you babysit the update for the next 5 minutes. Hope you weren't launching the app because you wanted to play music right now."

At a minimum they should have the decency to launch the app-store review flow during this forced delay so that they'd have some public recognition of the supreme annoyance this process causes.

I've had one tiny but annoying bug: Occasionally a podcast will show 0:00 to 0:00 on the scrubber and nothing -- not rebooting the whole system and my phone -- will fix it. It can be frustrating to be unable to scrub to the 40 minute mark on a podcast where I've already listened to half of it.

I'm not equating anything with anything. I'm saying there's no such thing as a realistic hard-line stance, and pretending there is makes things worse, not better.
Thanks, that is the kind of thing I was looking for (though a bit of a narrow test). Cool to hear that this gets a solid speedup from parallelism.
The local CarMax may have auctions for the local "Mom & Pop" dealers - you won't be able to bid, but if you talked to a registered bidder ahead of time and told them what you are willing to pay (in cash) for a Leaf that day, they may bid on one for you. Point out that they won't have any lot insurance fees on it, since you'll be taking delivery immediately.

One benefit is not drilling holes in my walls to run speaker wire all over the place.

Another benefit is not having an audio player tethered in one place.

A third benefit is being able to change the audio settings from any one of a half dozen devices in my house.
Meh, how much does a regular old 15-20A 120V outlet cost to install? $200 per plug, maybe? Just need a relay inside that talks over Bluetooth to a cloud-connected app on the user's phone (or just city wifi), and you've got a smart outlet that can handle payment. Another $20 (based on costs I've seen online for similar products), total $220. People can use their own chargers as all electric cars come with level 1 chargers. Cost is low, so could use residential electricity rates (slightly more expensive than commercial) and still make profit.

We already have lighted parking, don't see why adding outlets is that hard. We're talking slow overnight charging here for the most part.
Today I learned that poor rural farmers are living lives of luxury. Such a luxurious life in areas with no cell service, no high speed internet, and a several-hour streetcar ride into town to get groceries.

So glad to know that food stamps, welfare, and homemade methamphetamines qualify someone for luxury living.

Jesus fucking Christ this thread is cancer.
Agreed, it's not a backup if it only exists in one form, or one space.

After purchasing the eventual death and exit of your 10th or 15th laptop, you kind of want to spend less time doing those transfers, especially with complex installs that can't be trivialized to the cloud.

For Mac users, I like the backup practice of using two drives in two locations, Time Machine for incremental backups, and Carbon Copy Cloner for bootable backups, and then bump one of those images up to the cloud. One drive on a desk at home, one at the office, offsite, or a family member's house.

Additionally, keeping a third hard drive in rotation elsewhere, or use a local NAS that bumps up to the cloud for you as well.

The bootable backups tools like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper provide are priceless in my mind.. you can simply plugin your HD into another mac and boot off the external drive not missing a beat while your hardware may be getting attention.
Like anything health related, it really depends on many factors (overall health, genetics, other risk factors) as to weather sitting will have a significant effect on your health. For some, it may never affect them much. But, it won't be a short term thing - you won't know until after many years of sitting. The negative effects of sitting aren't the kinds of things you can reverse.
