And I thought of the humble metro trainset

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

50-odd tonnes and I've witnessed zero to 80km/h in about 6 to 10 seconds or so.

But, yes a nice big yellow machine running on batteries is an impressive milestone.
Yea, I bought an Atari St 1200 I believe in 1983 for college.

It did seem like a big purchase initially. I used it for 6 years of college. I mainly used it for word processing. It never skipped a beat.

Once every two years, I would need to re-ink the ribbon with ink myself. Just dipped the ribbon into the bottle, and rewind. I was too cheap to buy a new ribbon.

Besides the initial outlay, I spent $2.00 days on ink in six years.

If I had foresight, I never would have thrown away a great computer. I miss the word processor program. I definetly miss that dot matrix printer. (I never told anyone at school about my about my computer. I felt like I was cheating. Not one professor noticed the dot matrix print type.

What people miss about old hardware from the days was everything was built like tanks.

The thought of buying a new computer every two years was unthinkable. In my world, it's still unthinkable.

I really believe we have been duped by the industry--on all levels.
Business idea : service that backs up your whole phone, like an image of the disk, then you wipe the phone and "install" the image from the services cloud. It could maybe be doable on androids, or only rootes phones.
I used Bandsintown for the same thing for a while. But neither gives you updates straight from the bands, about contests and other stuff that isn't directly tour-related.
I still hold hope. However, it seems naively exploit the function approximation capacity we have with deep learning can only go that far to understand our own language.

Maybe we need to look back and start from beginning and ask ourself: How does human learn, exactly? How do we learn with so few examples? How do we jointly learn image/audio/video/language with only one brain?
The world and oss especially would be much better place if people were able to criticise without being so emotional about it (the hate and personal attacks part). It is like, every other issue leads to blow up of emotions.
I absolutely agree that we shouldn't prosecute people for being attracted to children. Seeking out and looking at live CP (as opposed to cartoons) is another matter, because looking at someone's naked body without their consent is always a violation. There will always be a grey area around age of consent, but we have to draw the line somewhere, and I'm quite comfortable with the idea that a 10-year-old cannot meaningfully consent to being in porn.
I don't know the context very well but according to what I read, Zircon seems quite tuned for its job, so I bet it's technically superior to Linux there. So, does it mean that Linux, like any other technology, could die by obsolescence ?
The secrets to a healthy relationship
Is that really so much different than just sticking a button there and then if you don't want it, you remove that button?

If they make it opt-in like you suggest, then a good number of casual users will not understand, because they can't try it without opting in, and therefore ultimately not opt-in, even though they would probably like this feature. (They've had it in the Test Pilot project like the above and got a very good response to it.)
Yes, miners fees make the system go round.
I LOL'd at the site headline: "Chinese maze: Village makes giant tech code from trees"
Oh wow, I did not know that:

>The North American lottery system is a $70 billion-a-year business, an industry bigger than movie tickets, music, and porn combined.
Let me guess: Sun talking to Cisco, around late 1990s to early 2000s? A known bug, known to both vendors, neither would fix it, Solaris admins would just have to know about it, usually via having been bitten by it? Yeah.
Millennials are being prepped to be the new serfs. They'll live on the land of their lords, riding in cars they don't own, using subscription services and software they don't own, working "gigs" with no rights, all of which can be revoked the minute they step out of line or run out of money.
That is how YouTube behaves today. It doesn't play until you foreground the tab. I don't see why that would change.
Parsons Green attack: 18-year-old man arrested as UK terror
I love this! I tried to do this by running multiple instances of firefox in separate Docker containers using software I wrote for the task (see subuser.org), and while it works, for more than a few different accounts it gets slow to switch between them because my system won't keep all of the instances of firefox in memory.
> People are not very rational. Almost all trips in cars are very short, yet people are still very concerned about range in electric cars

As they should be... What good is a car if it can't be used for the occasional long trip? I expect my car to be up to the task to go visit friends or family 200km away on a whim, after coming home from work, instead of sitting idly while my battery is charging for a couple hours... I'm sure many users have the same expectations. Are we irrational?
Also people pay and have paid $1000 for iPhones for years now, there's absolutely nothing new here and people think this is some sort of a new era beginning. It's absolutely not.
Zynga also had great DAU numbers while frustrating more and more of its users. Blackhat engagement techniques are strong in the short to medium time horizon. There's so much opportunity for fb if they could just focus on slightly different goals.
I cant even start to explain the dangers and power they gain with this.

I'm not sure they'd gain anything. If a user has Facebook or Instagram (or any social network really) on their phone, which most do, then Apple has access to a corpus of personal information and face images that's big enough to build a massively detailed picture of someone's life with an accurate biometric model. Apple users, rightly or wrongly, trust Apple not to abuse that information. Likewise Google's users, Facebook, etc.

It's too late to be talking about the dangers of letting corporations gain access to personal data and facial biometrics. The question now is how do we protect ourselves and our loved ones in a world where that data, for most people, is out there by default.
License isn't everything.

An Apache licensed project with no commercial offering will happily incorporate your improvements whenever they meet its quality standards and scope. Now, when the company controlling the upstream project is chafging for the same functionality your patches provide... let's just say ut is going to be harder to contribute them upstream.

That's why I find it a no-brainer to invest in and contribute back to open source projects without "paid features available" whereas I will avoid the same project when they do.

Projects where maintainers get money through support contracts are fine for me, although a similar argument may be made regarding the project's documentation/easiness of configuration.

They each have their own Verfassungsschutz. Anything beyond that would require new laws. And even Bavaria doesn't quite dare to step into Stasi territory.

> The best is to travel with wiped out devices and load them on the other side.

Or just don't cross (American) borders with devices.
Never been to Westchester, except on a train passing through, but I am intimately familiar with Plano. It's dense, but most of it is a poster child for shitty suburbs: if you don't have a car, you're fucked. (Take a bus, you say? What bus? When I was living around there, most of Plano wasn't served by buses.)
Hrm. I find a lot of stuff on linear algebra not so intuitive or motivating. It's a bit harder to get through. A big motivator is the sheer scale of application, along with calculus. Yeah it's a must for AI but really linear algebra underpins much much more and gives you awesome problem solving tools in general.

As for intuition, a better approach may be to get 3 good books and cycle through them. Where one doesn't feel so intuitive at a given point, the other 2 might. They will explain things in a different way with different examples. Connecting the ideas across 3 sources will help it sink in.

For a light intuitive introduction, give this a try:

https://betterexplained.com/articles/linear-algebra-guide/

Maybe it's a little too light but the idea is important: voraciously grasp the ideas intuitively. If none are forthcoming, try to make one.

Another Linear Algebra book, by Heffernan, was a 'third' book:

http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linearalgebra/

It's free too. I think someone else has mentioned No Bull Linear Algebra. That's a cool book too.

I had to put my learnings aside a few months ago but I made more progress this way than just following one book.
So the patriarchy is something you imagine. Interesting, although it does confirm a couple of longstanding suspicions in the area.

My definition of "too large to review in one piece" is "more than 200-250 lines", so most non-trivial changes benefit in my view from being split into clean patchsets. It is extra effort that's purely to reduce the code review workload, so it makes most sense when the project is very short of code review resources and the reviewers aren't all the same small set of people as the coders (ie not all working for the same company). Keeping a clean set of commits gets easier with practice though, especially if you do it as you go along rather than trying to do it all at the end. I like stgit for tooling that allows you to think of your branch as a stack of patches and avoid the horrible UI of raw git rebase.
I like the look of the presentation and the active teaching method adopted. I also like the way Savov gives out the definitions and the facts as a pdf but keeps the exercises, investigations and examples for the paid version - the exercises are the value added in Maths in my limited experience.

I just bought the paper version off Lulu (I like being able to read and scribble and then go on the computer for the computational exercises).
And now to set up SymPy on Debian...
If you use VSCode, there's a great extension called GitLens and GitHistory Log. The combination of them makes browsing repository histories, resolving conflicts and tracking changes really easy and fast.
How do I chain VPNs together where I'm not giving my Tor requests to any of the computers between mine and the Tor network? I use a server at the moment to tunnel but French law requires them to store my history for a year after I've left their service.

That's a good point - to be honest I hadn't considered that. However, government officials already have the opportunity to 'accidentally' waste money by paying more than necessary for goods or services, then getting a kickback from the supplier. Most likely the kickback would be more than 5%.
They do. git log --no-merges
I have been doing some back envelope calculation on this. Using the formula on the coin hive website and the current difficulty. At an average of 60 h/s per user you need 2k users to run the miner for 24hrs straight * 30 days to get any where near the 60 XMR promised in the example.

That is not to say the example is incorrect. Rather the difficulty in Monero has doubled in last month alone. In that case those 2k users needed to run this miner for 12 hours.

Tthe average increase in the difficulty on Monero is also surprising. Chart here:
https://www.coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/monero-difficulty...

It seems the spike in last month has been huge. All thanks to this miner?
I think the problem is how subtle the gradation/intensity can be between steps. Icons may not honor the aesthetic you are aiming for, but they manage (with a labelled legend) to get the job done of explaining this table for every user.
The problem is, that the parents kill the most valuable thing. Iniative, the ablity to have a adeventure, to take a orthogonal way to the throdden road and find something new.

This style of parenting kills the most valuable skill a kid could develop.
I meant on their servers.
The Network State – Balaji SrinIvasan
It's not like having and using Facebook is necessarily unfeasible for people who aren't crazy about it, which makes that a bad metaphor. Having a case of "sour grapes" over Facebook makes as much sense as having a case of "sour grapes" over pie. Just go out and buy some if you want. But what makes it a really bad metaphor is that the likelihood of someone using Facebook or not on a daily basis depends on how much value they attach to it. But why would anyone resent others for doing stuff that they don't care about?

Now, if you think Facebook provides with you with something of value, good for you. You're using a service and you're happy about it. But that says nothing about the preferences of others.
Yeah, its a purely western disease, unknown in countrys where kids are allowed to be active and act out there energys.

Glad we protected the problem production from the discussion.
But you are absolutely sure those images are never send to their servers?
You might consider this too much of an edge case but what if I want to pass something that quacks like an EventLoop to Process init ?
Fearing Anti-Semitic Speech, Facebook Limits Audience Targeting
Is it so hard though? Do Facebook, Google etc. have this problem too? I doubt it.

Systems need to be designed to be patched regularly from the outset. Yes, defense in depth can help, but it's not defense in depth if you one of the layers is pretty much always broken.

If they are relying on legacy systems that can't be proactively and regularly be patched, they shouldn't be holding that data.

I think part of the problem here, is that we can't see the risks companies are running with our data and goverment doesn't regulate it.

P.S. I do manage systems, though not on this scale.
Verif-Y, Blockchain-Based Identity Platform Announces Token Sale
I tried two QR readers on the photos in the article. They did not detect the code.

Would it have been much more effort for the photographer to take a photo that was scannable? Or is there just too much variance in the arrangement and no reader would actually scan it even without a photo?
For unlocking, the data will be stored on the Phone's secure enclave which is locked with your passcode. They say they won't upload it to their servers (which you have to trust them on, because it's hard to see if they do it).

However, there's an API for this tech as well and apps could abuse it. I bet they'll introduce a permission request for this though.
That should be mostly what you're getting both with iPhones and Android devices and their builtin backup/restore functions.
SoFi Board Says C.E.O. Is Out Immediately Amid Sexual Harassment Scandal
Corporate IT is doing what software developers have taught them through experience and pavlovian condition:

Don't touch anything, because it will break if you touch it.

IFF people who release software learn how to release security patches and bugfixes that don't include new features or break existing parts (except when breaking changes are actually needed), then, after several years of good results from pushing changes, Corporate IT will be conditioned to just push security fixes, it's not a big deal, plus it's important.
I've reviewed plenty of items I didn't buy, mainly library books but also photo equipment on hire and tools and gadgets on loan from friends. Often being the only or second review.

Since my only investment is time ( or at most the loan fee ) I am not emotionally attached to the object and try to be as objective as possible.

Conversely I have sometimes postponed leaving a negative review of something I have bought until I can sell it on... cynical but no point cutting the bridge from under me
I guess I'll get a note 8 then.
I don't want to any company triangulating my facial features--for any reason. And no--I don't know how the device works, or read the white papers.

Off subject but, I was really excited about the new iwatch. Finally, a Dick Tracy device.

Then I looked into it, and it needs to be tethered to a iPhone 6 or higher, or a known open wifi signal, or I missed something? I wondered why the new iwatch wasen't front and center on hacker News a few days ago.
If AI == Neural Networks only, maybe matrix knowledge is enough, but when you start to include NLP, Expert systems, SEarch algorithms such as A*, Minimax, etc. in the AI category, you'll have to know more mathematics..

AI is much more than neural networks!
A Philosopher’s Take on Global Basic Income: Fund It by Land Value Taxation
There's no such thing as "real" history - you don't commit every line of code you add or remove, or even every character. Rather, you choose some points in time to commit.

For me, those are often arbitrary - I can't get something to work at a certain point, so I make a WIP commit with the buggy work at that point, and will come back to it the next day.

Before I merge my branch back into master, though, I want my commit history to be useful. "This is the point where I went home or was disturbed that day" is not useful to future developers. "This is the work I did on this individual feature and everything that's needed to run it and to have the tests succeed is in this commit, and this was the reasoning behind what I did", however, is.

In other words, I rebase to divide my codebase into non-arbitrary units of code, not based on chronology, but on what is useful together.
What's wrong with iCloud?
Because supply availability has decreased as it always does when there are major purchase orders made by everyone from Samsung to Apple.
So, according to the article:

1) Developer revokes streaming license of asshole.

2) Developer gets down-vote-brigaded, with most of them (43 out of last 50) having 0 hours played, and called "sjw" by "snowflakes" (to use their parlance) upset about said revocation.

Besides the face-palm worthy outrage, what does Steam think about 0-hours-played reviews?
Directly moving out 500PB of data of AWS would cost 20+ million dollars depending on usage patterns might be cheaper to gradually shift usage.

Not sure what I'm doing, I got 6 requests in the past 2 days. As far as I can tell, all but one are fakes. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a fake or a person who I met only briefly.
At least part of the arguments against rebase are arguments for feature branches. Keep master forever and rebase your feature/bug branches, I would rather say. E.g bitbucket has features for this too - prohibit force push on master/release branches, allow on dev branches.
Yes, that might be a more accurate description. It picks the "who" thingy from the most similar context.

I asked this question because as I know, some devices that use similar technology with IR emitter and IR camera don't work in sunlight. They're Microsoft Kinect, Intel Realsense, Leapmotion... That happens because sunlight is a bigger IR source that overlap on IR light from IR Emitter, then makes the IR camera cannot get the correct dot images.
>> disable the feature before going through customs

I keep seeing people mention locking the phone before going through customs. This accomplishes nothing. If they ask for your device, you are required to unlock it. If you refuse to unlock, best case scenario means you turn around and go home. Worst case scenario, you are detained as a criminal. If your plan is to fight back and not allow the agents access to your phone, you won't be making it across the border. Bringing the device with you means you must be willing to unlock without causing a fuss. The only way to "win" is to not bring the device.
I don't have a moral or ideological opposition to FB, more of a practical one... I don't really know who my friends are on there or who I'm talking to when I post something. I know I could exhaustively go through my friends and sort them out... but it's a pain. So I keep the account and check in once every few months. If they fixed the problems, I'd use it more.

Regular old gitk is one of the few tools that I find performant-enough to use on the Linux kernel tree.
There's a more nuanced approach to git rebase. You should use it the other way around - switch to your feature branch and `git rebase master` to update your branch and resolve conflicts. Then test it and `git merge`. I also use git rebase to tidy up the branch's history - generally not entirely squashing it, though.
I have never seen any study that can do traffic correlation of encrypted traffic for real world data. The combination of parallel connections (Firefox has 6), multiple tabs, ajax calls and background polls, all makes the real world very hard to separate the data to any sensible detection rate.

What I have seen is people being able to detect data when each high level request can be cleanly separated.
Zuckerberg and Facebook are smart. They know FB isn't for everyone, that's why they have Instagram and whatsapp.
