Very disturbing. EU needs a "federal" police force to investigate such things. Regardless of what the prime minister says, and we should assume his innocence, we cannot assume that his government will investigate it when he's an obvious suspect.

To make matters worse, Malta is a tiny island state where "everybody knows everybody". I was there just a few months ago and you can comfortably walk around the (stunningly beautiful) capital in a few hours and see the entire nation in a matter of days.

While Malta supposedly has a great deal of corruption, it's not considered more corrupt than so many other member states in Southern and Eastern Europe, and quite frankly, it would be nice also in Western and Northern Europe to have a supranational investigative body in stead of or in addition to parliamentary hearings, commissions etc. that often require parliament majority which rests with the government parties anyways.
Your comparison is unfair, given that new web apps are being created/updated (but also abandoned) constantly, and this requires work. Mattresses have been invented long ago, and can be mostly produced by robots. Mattresses should be a commodity, and be priced accordingly.

General Relativity states that gravity and acceleration are equivalent, so yes, they cancel out. Unless you look outside you cannot tell whether you are in an elevator standing on ground on Earth (1g), or in space accelerating upwards at 1g.
To get an idea of what happened when, this happened months before the Snowden leaks were published:

"“As reported by Facebook and Apple, Microsoft can confirm that we also recently experienced a similar security intrusion,” the company said on Feb. 22, 2013."

Kaspersky identified the attacker group for the first time in 2011, two years before:

https://securityintelligence.com/news/butterfly-effect-chaos...

"According to eWEEK, the Wild Neutron group was first identified and named by Kaspersky Lab in 2011, and it went after high-profile corporate IP in 2013."

The group is very careful in using the obtained information:

"Vikram Thakur, senior manager at Symantec, believed that the Butterfly attacks are financially and not politically motivated, noting to CSO Online that the attackers are extremely careful with the information they obtain. So far, there’s no evidence of any high-profile IP for sale on the Dark Web, and while the data could be used for insider trading, there has been no odd stock market movement after the thefts occur. Vice president of security firm Fasoo, Ron Arden, said it’s possible that the group also employs insiders who are willing to deliberately compromise their accounts and give malicious actors access to five-year plans or financial statements."

Labor in Italy isn't cheap at all, because of high pension contributions and labor taxation. Most "cheap" labor intensive productions moved abroad during the last 20 years, what's left is mostly high-quality high-price products, or highly automated ones.

Gravity is not a force. It’s just tensor warping, which manifests as acceleration in our paltry 3d realm, which you experience as a force.

Similarly in the falling lift there is no force making you float, just an apparent relative acceleration that you experience as a force.
It does because the frame is not inertial. There is a fictitious force “pushing you upward” because the elevator is accelerating downward. The fictitious force pushing you upward perfectly cancels the gravity pulling you downward and you feel no net force inside the frame.
> There’s an IEEE program called GET that allows researchers to access certain standards (including 802.11) for free, but only after they’ve been public for six months

Also, that program only allows access to the latest release of each standard. Which means that, when there's a new release of a standard, access to any version of it is closed for six months.

This is one of the most frustrating problems to me about working with big rationals or intervals. It’s attractively “clean” compared to floating-point numbers, but if you’re not careful, you constantly accumulate more and more “precision” that isn’t really meaningful—you could discard most of the digits of those rationals and end up with the same result when it’s converted to a double.
Man, software engineering at the cutting edge is getting harder and harder by the day. Not only are you expected to master coding but also math heavy ML and economics. I guess a consequence of software eating the world is that more and more fields of human knowledge is folded into the engineering world. The consequence being that engineers really aught to be very broad in their reading if they want to take advantage of all the low hanging fruit the octopus arms stumbles into.

It really depends. A deep learning paper just presenting a new architecture can be read in a few hours, meanwhile for some heavy papers on the mathematical side can take days, weeks to fully digest.

In the end it doesn't matter, you can be as slow as you want :)

This is such an empty, meaningless statement that only serves to deflect from the systemic greed and exploitation in the global financial system.

A man whose standard of life was increasing at (for example) 0.01% suddenly finds it increasing at 1.0%?

Or a family of 7 in some famine-stricken, war-torn nightmare now has half a bag of rice instead of a third?

At the same time your share in the overall wealth, prosperity and power of your nation is decreasing and being consolidated in the hands of fewer and fewer people.

A gradually increasing quality of life is something that should be an absolute minimum expectation for society, short of the effects of natural disasters and war. This is not something you should be proud of or use as an excuse to avoid the discomfort of recognising the abuses and excesses of the obscenely wealthy.

Sure the GDP of any given nation might be rising, but that only tells you how wealthy it is, not who actually benefits from that wealth.

You have traded your right to the prosperity of your nation for a an absolute minimum baseline of what will keep people docile and subservient.

And this;

> Life is getting better for everyone all the time.

Is just offensively naive to the extreme.
Yeah. "Can't possibly happen" until it does.

Did you try 0.9.3 under k8s? We did some work specifically targeting k8s by enabling pods with servers to get restarted with new IPs, even all of the servers at once. That required Consul to be configured with -raft-protocol=3 to benefit in 0.9.3. That's the default now in 1.0, so both of those versions should be much more stable under k8s.

I'd be curious if you ran into other kinds of issues on k8s and if you tried 0.9.3 with the required raft protocol version set before you gave up.
For one, they might have some more papers.

Probably they used it to weight the opinions of importers about the exporters, not the other way around, which would't make sense. As such, US opinions would have much much higher weight than German ones.

EDIT: fixed importers/exporters
Have to say, I don't see the value in being able to have Swarm and k8s in the same cluster.

"Docker: powered by Kubernetes" seems to be more of a marketing thing to move down the value chain, and not be seen as a basic piece of infrastructure.
That's very interesting! Is it possible to buy some stock "for real" and actually own it alongside others who use the DTC system? What are the reasons for this strange system existing?
That's not the problem. The problem is that the whitelist of permissions is limited, fixed, i have no control over it and i can't easily work around it.

I can't create a great way to batch install/update/migrate my phone because everything requires manual approval.

I can't use my own browser or sms app on ios cause it's not allowed by the permissions system.

I can't install a new driver on my phone.

Remember the bs update apple did that broke the home button, forcing people to buy a new phone ? I can't prevent that either.

I'm actually for permissions and sandboxes for most apps. But i want a manual override when i need one.

Is it just me or FB is blocking accounts having Russian connection and FB ads?
I've been running a Russian community website in EU for the last 15 years. It has a Facebook business page with a few thousand followers that I attracted mostly through ads a couple of years ago. Suddenly, my account is blocked without any recovery option although the page is still visible.

I now wonder whether this is related to the recent news on Russian state agencies trying to influence US elections on Facebook. Is Facebook shutting down every remotely Russian account buying ads?

Chinese gunpoweder was pretty ineffective for anything except as a terror weapon. There are plenty of records of it being as terrifying (and dangerous!) for those using it as those it was used against. There's little evidence it was anymore effective than things like the incendiary Greek Fire used by the Byzantines to great effect.

I'm not aware of any particular efforts to suppress or restrict it beyond the usual Chinese restrictions on weapons. Wikipedia says a (non-central-government) militia official demonstrated a particularly effective form, and that there was later a restriction on trade of sulfur and saltpeter, but that appears more to build up their own stocks.

flight

Err.. they had manned kites if that was what you mean? Marco Polo say to foretell whether a ship should sail, a man would be strapped to a kite having a rectangular grid framework and the subsequent flight pattern used to divine the outlook[1]. That does seem to have been particularly restricted.

Pure Operation-Based Replicated Data Types
At the very highest level, you have two groups of people: investors and businesses.

Investors have capital, and want to see somebody produce something extra with that capital. The main variables are the size of the capital, and the risk profile the investor is prepared to accept.

Businesses require funding to grow[1]. The main variables are the nature of the reparations, and the control they are willing to concede.

The scale of the four dimensions above means that there is no one size fits method to transfer capital from investors to businesses and vice versa. For instance, Capital: $2 to $2bn; Risk: I'm prepared to lose it all, to I want guaranteed, fixed returns; Reparations: I'll pay 20% interest, to you can have non-negotiable dividend; Control: you can own debt, or you can have a seat on my board.

The evolutionary nature of the finance industry has gone from age old future contracts ("I'll give you $100 next October for your crop of wheat") to other more exotic derivatives e.g. Snowball Swap. Even if you as an individual do not need complex options like that, you may invest in a 401k that does.

[1]not limited to pure funding. Consider a manufacturer that makes a product that takes a year to make. If they sell to a foreign market, they cannot risk working and consuming raw materials for a year in one currency to be paid in another currency at the end of the order that varies. Thus, an FX Future gives the manufacturer the confidence to agree a deal and concentrate on the business fundamentals, not global currency markets.

Very cool, now please put them in Google "Earth" (-like app) so that I can fly around on a tablet/smartphone.

It would also have been cool if the sun would be it's real (apparent) size, now it's the same for Mercurius and for Pluto but I always love that feeling images of Pluto give you, the loneliness, so far away from the sun.

Some kind of animation when flying between planets would also be nice. I like the effect of seeing a dark side when zooming out, this makes it nice to show how day and night work to my kids.

Not a major user, but we're using zsync for system updates of our Raspberry Pi based digital signage operating system (https://info-beamer.com/hosted). It's pretty great and offers a few things we couldn't do with bittorrent: Every time we have a new release we put together an install.zip file of everything required (kernel, firmware files, initrd, squashfs). Users can download this file directly and unzip it on their SD card and it will boot our OS. For updates we use a previous (see below) version of our install.zip already available on the device and only download the changes. We then unzip that into a new partition for an A/B booting.

Zsync is awesome as we can specify any number of existing files already available on the device (with the -i command line option) and zsync will try to make use of them to minimize downloads. We really use this feature to our advantage: zsync by default will keep the previous version of a file if it's going to overwrite it. So we have two versions of install.zip on a device. When switching between OS releases (stable / testing...) we can switch back and forth with zero additional downloads as both versions are available and zsync makes use of that. Similarly after a user installs our OS, we just have the unpacked artefacts (kernel, etc.) on the SD. We can quickly recreate an initial version of the install.zip file on the device by seeding the download with those files. It's usually just 500k to construct an initial install.zip file we then later use to minimize all future updates.

It is a well established word with a commonly understood meaning in English. For example, a Lynching is another form of murder with a different and generally well understood meaning for native English speakers. If you're not a native English speaker, does your native language not have terms similar to these?

Or it could be they aren't stretching and simply taking lessons from other parts of the world, in which marijuana is usually mixed with tobacco or a herbal smoke blend. This is in part because it burns better and more completely and not really due to wanting to stretch their supply.

That said, there is no reason to force folks into giving away healthier filler herbs. Tax tobacco more, fine, but folks can buy their own fillers. And honestly, without testing the safety of the fillers, there isn't a real way to know how the safety compares to tobacco, especially if folks aren't using tobacco daily or regularly.

I, personally, do not think that European countries that already harass other European countries should have even more power by creating a new supranational investigative body which they will consist of, that will only further assert their power over other member states.
It's worth emphasising that if you just want to invest in a company, modern markets let you do so in an unprecedentedly cheap way: you can usually buy or sell with a penny spread (not legally allowed to be tighter, which is a whole other rant) virtually instantly. If we're really talking about the pure "stock market" then at this point it's pretty much a commodified, low-margin utility business. I'll assume you meant the broader financial industry.

At a simple level: investors might want to invest in a given company at any point on the risk/return curve, rather than just the one their stock or a particular bond issue is set at. They might want to invest in a particular sector rather than having a view on specific companies. They might want to invest in a company whose stocks are priced in a different currency from their own, but without exposing themselves to the currency movements. They might believe a particular sector will outperform the market without wanting to take a view on how the overall market will perform. They might have a big chunk of a commodity to sell in six months and want to spread out the sale according to whenever gets the best price. And all of these views do, ultimately, filter down and translate into concrete capital allocation in the real world: maybe a particular sector ends up hiring more people or building more factories because they have more capital, and the economy does better for everyone when capital is spent in the best way. (Of course it's possible for everyone to be wrong, but the basic idea that averaging out everyone's buying and selling results in our best guess for where the money should go seems sound).

Of course mechanically you end up with a lot of intervening speculators - in between investor A who has a particular set of views about the market and company B that desires capital on particular terms, there might be dozens of intermediaries. But I see that as no different from the way that most real-world transactions are business-to-business - in between you buying a furniture cabinet and the people growing the wood or mining the metal there are dozens of intermediate suppliers, each with their own particular speciality, all adding a little bit of value.

Rhythm games are not about memorization, unless you call pattern recognition and muscle memory memorization.

First of all, players don't need to memorize the charts. Take a good player, give him an entirely new chart and he will perform much better than any beginner ever will, even with memorization. Shuffle mode, where the notes are mixed and therefore can't be memorized is just a minor handicap. Much, much easier than memorizing a whole song.

There are two things at work here.

The reaction time is actually not that short. For high level play, players typically set notes to appear about 500ms before action. At that rate, anyone can hit a single note, the difficulty is that there are lots of them.

The difference between experienced players and beginners is that experiences players recognize blocks instead of single notes, just like you read entire words rather than individual letters.
