The article doesn't mention this but as I understand flies can only see motion. So when you move very slow you can catch them.

It doesn't mean that they only see moving objects by the way. In flight they see because everything is moving around them.
If you want to catch a stationary fly, it's pretty easy to do so with your bare hands. The key thing to know is that they jump backward before taking flight.

Aim for a spot about 1-2" behind the fly, and about 1-2" above the fly. Try to catch it there, and your success percentage will be high.

Talent is judged at its height. Character is judged at its depth. If you write a great novel and then write a bunch of mediocre ones you are judged by the great one. If you help the poor, walk old ladies across the street, save a person's life but molest a minor, you're judged as a pedophile.

Given the low interest rate environment the past 10 years by major central banks around the world, couldn't you argue that everything is a bubble at this point?

If the world is awash in cheap money, then it's almost tautological that most "assets" are in a bubble.

I was about to post the same. Last time I used this technique, I hit 3/3.
it's tough seeing your country analyzed by an outsider. here, i'll do the same thing with my home country, america.

americans primarily eat cheap feedlot-produced beef and chicken, often in the form of fast food such as mcdonalds. the majority of beverages consumed are alcoholic or laden with sugar.

in the south, most of the cuisine is largely modernized slave food and plantation food. cigarettes and rum are, or were until recently, consumed in large quantities, made from sugar and tobacco which was the backbone of the slave economy in the gulf/caribbean region.

there is also an emphasis on quantity, with people oftentimes eating or serving more to a person than they can actually eat in a single meal. people frequently take the remainder to go, although many force themselves to finish.

unfortunately, americans' entertainment culture revolves around watching tv so the effects of overeating are compounded and result in epidemic levels of obesity and diabetes and other metabolic diseases.

is this true? is this biased? does this apply to berkeley, ca as well as it does to dallas, texas?

this doesn't describe me as an american, yet it's undoubtedly true, uncomfortable, and critical as it may be.

the truth hurts.
The article you linked to says:

> Moral rights are distinct from any economic rights tied to copyrights.

I have a moral right to insist that I wrote something, and argue against people who say otherwise, even if I assigned the copyright away, renounced it, or let it expire. It's more about honor than property. A Picasso is a Picasso no matter who owns the painting now. It's an insult to Beethoven to say that he didn't compose his 9th even though all his copyright has long expired. The same would be true even if all copyright law was repealed tomorrow.

I understand the second half of the statement might be true, but it doesn't follow from the first.
It would be an advantage to local companies - yes! At the moment, local companies are often at a disadvantage because they're paying more tax than those companies who are legally based overseas.

If the product or service doesn't exist locally, then the purchasing company will indeed need to pay tax, if and only if it's local sales are greater than local costs. If buying this overseas service such as AWS hosting gives it an advantage such as cheaper and simpler scaling then it may well be worth them buying it to pay the tax.

At the moment, an outside company can come in and pay little to no tax by licensing IP from another subsidiary in a third country. A local company is then at a disadvantage and is effectively paying for the infrastructure through their own taxes to support a competitor.
You have to learn the kind of fly though. Take-off differs between species :)

The problem of bitcoin is that there is a finite amount of it that will be available.

As use of bitcoin is scheduled to grow, the pace of the production of bitcoins needed to support the market does not keep up.

This results in a steady increase of the value of bitcoin, which is good for adoption (more people will buy it to speculate and sellers will accept it), but endangers it as a mean of paiement as buyers are always better of paying in $, which devaluates over time, instead of Btc, which will increase over time.

The reason bitcoin will not be used for daily exchanges is the same as we do not use gold anymore. But since Btc has no intrisic value, I hardly see it as a reserve money.

I guess anything is possible but I doubt that those journals, who depend so much on their perception of quality would so easily compromise it. If this is confirmed it would be a business disaster for them.

What to me would sound less unlikely (and I am totally on the outside of all of this), if PIs take into account editor's interests and preferences -- that is, if you know that editor is interested in topic A (say, oxygen on exoplanets) you might lean in that direction with the paper you hope to publish there (e.g., in abstract / intro / conclusion stress how your research supports existence or lack thereof of oxygen). Also not impossible to know if an issue is dedicated to a specific grand theme, so articles on that have a significantly higher acceptance chance.

Whether this is 100% kosher or not can be debated, but this is far, far off from agreements that a journal will publish whatever a specific researcher writes.
Really? Maybe I should get an old model as well, the build quality then was unmatched.

I seem to recall a service that could stitch together a tweet chain into a single image. Someone used it on a Doctorow discussion at some point i think.

Problem is that since then Twitter introduced this modified retweet that break said chains, and not every client do a good job of embedding what tweet people are replying to on sending etc.

On a completely different note, i see now that Twitter is trying to drum up attention for longer tweets. Something that is highly ironic given that over at SMS, where Twitter got its beginnings, stitching together multiple messages into a single long one has been a long solved "problem".

Edit: Back to the question at hand i think you will get a reasonable result with this:

This is somewhat related to google buying the .dev gTLD.

I get that .dev is kinda short and sweet but if it's for local dev why bother with a suffix at all? Or use the project name. Instead of foobar.dev, use local.foobar or heck use localdomain or your company/personal domain as the suffix.
I think opening links this way would defeat the purpose of containers (with respect to privacy) because that would allow Google to link containers (most sites contain some JS from G). If this is not what concerns you then I guess some extension could fix it?

I see that as a sign that the markets (BETWEEN cryptocurrencies) work and are highly liquid.
This is a known problem for a while. For example when we (RhodeCode) had an installer based on pip we actually rolled our own PYPI index. Having one you host is very easy and there are nice projects in existence that allowed that. It basically solved a problem of deployment when pypi wasn't available, speed up our test installer builds, and also total control over the packages we ship.
If indeed there was broad consensus that copyright law as it exists in the United States right now is to everyone's benefit, there might be a moral obligation to follow that law.

But all I see is a bunch of interest groups trying to pretend that there is a consensus and painting anyone who disagrees as a modern day Jack Sparrow. It's easy to manufacture a consensus if all the opponents are criminals, isn't it?

I don't deny that there might be some kind of broad consensus on the issue of copyright. I just don't think that the content of it will be anywhere near what the law of the United States currently says.
That it works as a sales pitch doesn't mean it's inaccurate. The focus of container work pre-Docker really was all about isolation not packaging.
I do 'small data' analysis and having a machine powerful enough to not have to deal with clusters is a godsend and saves me so much time. With 64 gigs and a dozen cores most of my needs are handled. And if I had 128 gb and 24 cores I'd be able to do even more.
This also highlights another effect: imagine you would have stuck around, and not have bundled access to all required papers because, as you said, it's outside of your main department (which also, obviously, encourages that expertise stays in its own little silos) . You'd have to be selective with which articles you give a try. And which ones will that be? In this age if Google Scholar, more often than not the ones with a lot of citations already, I bet.

So the already existing effect of people sticking to the commonly accepted truth is amplified. But science works at the edge of our knowledge, where what is already known breaks down and different and/or less commonly known ideas and solutions are needed.
Yes, which is why I carefully phrased my post to avoid any implication that I might agree with that claim. To nevertheless get a reply like this is profoundly irritating.
I think bitcoin is best understood as a countercyclical bet. Like gold, it is highly volatile but trouble in mainstream markets will always lead to an increase in its value.

So one would trust a novel currency over the collective interests that stand behind the USD or Euro if one expects a prolonged downturn in those economies or a divergence of the interests behind them.

A lot of those terms read evocative, but are actually technical terms in Deleuze's philosophy (and that of his predecessors).

Deleuze is hard to understand because joining his world takes work. He's very precise.

I don't even know why Deleuze is being connected to Foucault here. Those two helped market each other and had one political project in common (something re: abuse of power in prisons; but even Sartre was involved in this cause celèbre). But Foucault was a globe-trotter pleasure-seeker who got AIDS in the saunas of San Francisco and supported the Ayatollah's revolution. Deleuze on the other hand came from an ultra-conservative catholic background, was married only once to the mom of his kids, hated travel and probably never left France, and by all accounts was a great dad and husband.

Whenever Deleuze writes about drugs in extension, he preaches prudence -- it's a particular example in the wider concept framework of deterritorialization and the "body without organs". Hardcore masochists (yes, there's quite some sexual moralism in Deleuze) and drug addicts are those who do it too much, without the proper prudence and understanding.
Well, that suggests that now is a good time to at least explore things again. Bioarxiv also exists now
well, in a very narrow sense, if you are a creator you are in the unique position at first to copy the the piece - or not. That's not just a fictive right. And indeed, industrial entities often enough choose to refrain from public publishing. And artists may choose to remain underground and cryptic lest they be copied and their ideas diluted.
Three techniques:
1. Move your open hand towards the fly very slowly until you are 5cm (2 in) away then slap.
2. Move both hands slowly towards the fly and "clap" to catch it.
3. Blow gently downwards onto the fly, then slowly increase the force of the blowing. You might then be able to pin its wing to the surface.

Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands.

So IBM has OpenJ9 and OMR, Oracle has Graal and Truffle.

The JVM space is suddenly getting very interesting. But my question is, why now? While OMR did opened up a year ago it didn't seems to have gained any traction.

The most annoying part here is that Google isn’t even using .dev as public TLD – they purely use it for internal testing, and all registered .dev domains resolve to 127.x.x.x addresses.

.dev should have been entirely reserved, or made available publicly. Registering a TLD just for your own internal testing, and forcing everyone to switch away, is the most user unfriendly move you can do.
It's a rather nasty combination because the cannabis has lots of tar and most tobacco has tons of chemical additives added with the sole purpose to suppress coughing.

Because of those additives, tobacco+cannabis is way easier to smoke, resulting in people keeping hits in longer, which supposedly gives stronger effects but also more time for the tar to settle down in the lungs.

In that regard, it's odd how people keep on harping on about cannabis being "so much stronger than it used to be", while the tobacco industry literally spend decades and billions of $ to make their tobacco more potent, easier to smoke and as addictive as possible, by adding dozens of questionable chemicals.

At this point tobacco is probably one of the most overdesigned drugs in human history, I can't think of any other psychoactive substance that has had so much time, money and effort put into it.
That’s not an option, that was the whole point of the discussion.

I have perfected this. I can even stop them mid-flight.

Spray at it with any liquid (e.g. water, household cleaner). It may take a couple of squirts but it's easy as it doesn't need to be exact. The fly will fall to the ground where you can just squash it with a tissue.

As someone who works in visual neuroscience, this article's a tough read. Lots of statements that are semi-accurate at best.

1) Eyes don't work like cameras; there's no real "exposure" phase as such (even though there's lots of thresholds). So it's misleading to talk about discrete images that we sample at some fixed frequency. Instead, it's much more helpful to think of photoreceptors and subsequent processing stages as continuous band-pass filters. At some point, high frequencies are simply cut off because the electro-chemistry of the cell can't keep up. For us, that cut-off comes earlier than it does for invertebrates.

2) There's no mechanical interaction between light and photoreceptor. Instead, the transduction cascade of the dipteran eye seems to encompass a mechanical (as opposed to biochemical) step.

3) It's pure conjecture to talk about a fly's slowed down "perception" of the world. The reason why they take off before you get to them is much simpler -- there's a highly optimized reflex that connects eye and flight muscles via the giant fiber (a particularly rapid nerve). We have similar responses, like eye lid closing etc. Additionally, their photoreceptors are sensitive and fast. But there's zero evidence that flies have any sense of continuous time that could be faster than ours.

Ah, well. The perils of science journalism.
Right, I understand that aspect, but it's still worth highlighting cognitive dissonance where it exists.
I consider Bitcoin more of a "collective interest" than money produced by governments. History is full hyperinflation horror stories.

Do you trust professional encyclopedia writers more than a bunch of anonymous volunteers collectively writing articles? But Wikipedia is a fact no? It works. Distributed things seem to work, in practice.

I agree that Bitcoin still has to prove itself. But if such a thing as Wikipedia can work, why not Bitcoin?

But I get your point. Although the world is bigger than US and Europe alone. What about current unstable states?

One thing will never happen to Bitoin: hyperinflation.

There is a middle ground between ice cream and broccoli. And believe it or not, eating healthy food would make their life much better, regardless their commute time.
