I think that you are attempting to address several distinct problems that would be better addressed separately.

For example, catalog of shared facilities/equipment across groups is a useful thing to have, but it can be centralised without centralising group web sites (and constructing a list by simply aggregating lists of what individual groups have will miss facilities shared at the department/division/university level).

I trust my university to continue providing web hosting. If I were to switch to your service, what assurace would I have that you:

- will continue operating for (at a minimum) several decades

- will continue providing the service for free, and not start charging

- will not add adverts

- will not redesign or remove a feature that I rely on

- not loose data (how should I backup a Labit page?)

as you grow, your costs increase, and network effects cause people to feel 'locked-in'?

The 'lack of sane structure' and 'redundant effort in designing' problems can be solved by creating good templates that researchers can use to create sites hosted by their own universities. I think that most lab pages that I've encountered have had a reasonable structure, and in many cases switching to the Labit structure would be a regression rather than an improvement:

- several pages are empty for many of the showcased sites, suggesting that they are not necessary, but cannot be removed (e.g. Gallery)

- details of people on the 'Members' page are displayed only on a modal panel after clicking on a person's face. It also doesn't seem to show the destinations of alumni, despite the medium article saying you want to help career planning.

- it is common (at least in certain fields) for papers to have a dedicated page on the group's website, grouping together the abstract, embedded demo video, links to supplementary material, etc. This doesn't appear possible with Labit.
Ah, I should have known that. Thanks
No—even at face value, "sprinkling wait()" does not slow the CPU, it slows the software running on the CPU; if you then manage to obtain 100% for your thread, that does not disprove that Apple has not added `wait()` anywhere in their code. In their code—software.

That would then also apply to games. Anything that really runs on a device.

Really I think we just need better regulation around it all. So making sure that you are allowed to hack your own device if you wish. Able to extract your data. SaaS companies being required to give you data exports (unless unsafe to do so).

> "Why press a button to duck, when you can just duck?"

Why sit on your arse and turn a steering wheel when you can just run forty miles to work?

When someone says "Why do X when you can just do Y?" its usually because "just doing Y" is simpler or easier. Turns out that ducking is neither simpler, nor easier.
You're assuming the actors are all rational. In other words, "No one ever got fired for hiring from Stanford"

If this was charged against a credit card, you can likely look at issuing a chargeback through your bank. Even if it wasn't a credit card, you should see if there is anything your bank can do.

While I don't typically support a liberal use of chargebacks, a situation where you actually didn't purchase the thing you were charged for, and the vendor is not cooperating, is kind of what they are meant for.
Added to my watch list. That would make sense. Or he’s got some servers to be maintained. It’s not impossible it just doesn’t seem an interview he’d do without some other technician or technical manager.
I know very little about this.

From what I've read, it is very unlikely that uranium ores will be found on asteroids, because concentrating uranium into economically mine-able quantities is believed to require long running thermal process in a planets core.

That would mean looking for uranium on larger bodies, like the moon.

I’ve been meaning to dig up those old books and magazines, and try to only use the resources that were available back then, and try them out on an accurate emulator.

Effectively going back in time seems to be the best way to correct that wrong and fill the hole of an unfulfilled ambition. :)
This is in large part because the sectors that saw the largest move towards alternative work arrangements—like education and medicine—have a high proportion of women.

Anyone know more about this? What jobs in those areas are becoming contract based?

Facebook’s Relay solves the throughput problem by effectively precompiling queries. Their production apps only make a subset of the requests of the full graphql language - and those are frozen at deploy/compile time. In some sense this makes their production graphql more like “auto-generated REST” from the server’s perspective.

That said, thinking of this in terms of client vs server devs isn’t useful - it’s not like anyone on the team want to see the servers burn. The beauty of graphql is it’s descriptiveness - you could create a query performance score and fail CI if your main page queries are hitting too high of a cost. A meet up in SF last year had some FB engineers discussing this - they do something along these lines before shipping their android/iOS apps.
What on earth did I just read?
That was the main thing I was thinking of. Even on homes that currently have this, or a mudroom, normally the inner door is not secured or strong in anyway.

I also think having a general unlocked mail or package slot is problematic these days, as bad actors could use that to insert all kinds of nefarious and damaging items into your home.

Lecturers and nurses, as a guess. I know a CEO of a nursing staffing agency. I imagine she contracts nurses out. In both cases contracts would let businesses treat shift hours as more isolated needs. That grants them lots of flexibility.
a) What does that clarify? What's the difference?

b) From the literature I looked at, and the very wikipedia article I linked, it is true for homeless youth as a whole.

Why people don't connect with your marketing + how to fix it
I had a 6 Plus (which has Touch ID) for the last couple years, bought just before the 6S launched, and my main complaint with it was that I had to build in a slight pause to every non-keyboard touch to ensure that the phone had caught up. This didn't even always work, if it was slightly slower that day. I bought the 8 Plus, as I had no desire to lose Touch ID, and I've been quite impressed with the speed improvement. The pauses are almost always unnecessary, now, and I would say that the phone keeps up with what I want more than 50% of the time, which with the 6 Plus was "almost never".

The 8 Plus camera is also noticeably better even for someone who doesn't pay much attention to photo quality. People have remarked how I've learned to take better pictures. I haven't.
I'd wager that uranium (as with all the heavier elements) is spread throughout the solar system as it is forged and spread in stars going supernovae/hypernovae
There are tons of keypad locks out there already that let you give people temporary codes and then delete them. I don't use that feature a lot but I can see it being very handy if you have a lot of service people who need access to your house.

Positioning at introduction is what hobbled the Xbox One -- we mostly forget it now, but while the PS4 was introduced as a gaming device -- all about the games and for gamers -- the Xbox One was introduced as a cable pass-thru device with augmented TV watching, a smart livingroom, an NFL experience, etc. The gaming seemed almost ancillary, and of course classic television was dying (especially among the target market) so a smart TV guide hardly was compelling.

It was just a massive misstep, and was years too late for its focus. They've regrouped but the PS4 has retained the lead from that early head-start.
Yeah, we should probably not do this in LEO, where orbits decay and half of the potential acceleration vectors lead back down to Earth. Fortunately, it takes a lot of energy and precision to de-orbit anything heavy that is in geosynchronous orbit or beyond.

If the fissile material could be acquired by asteroid mining, then it would never need to pass through the Earth's atmosphere. I know that still sounds way out there, but I think that uranium or thorium would actually be a great material for kicking off asteroid mining. A small amount will pay off in a big way, it is a very dangerous thing for humans to mine on Earth, and, like the parent mentioned, we really don't want to fly it around where it can fall on us.
> I don't see how Face ID is inherently an "epic pain" unless you're building in the assumption that it doesn't work well.

My assumption is that it will always take longer than just using a button. If it doesn't take longer, then it will be unlocking at incorrect times.

That's why I think it will be an epic failure.
CineForm Goes Open Source
It depends, if you consider using the phone while laying flat on a desk as a normal or edge case.

I'm not an UX designer, but I would optimize for the nominal case, rather than choosing a solution that is sub-optimal 90% of the time, but works better for the remaining 10%.
There are open-source projects to allow a Vive to leverage Kinect motion tracking. And HTC is developing a full body motion tracker.

These are solutions I found when looking into leg sensors for a Taekwondo VR training game. I feel we're approaching a technology intersection between self-driving cars and VR, in the need to map physical spaces and the objects therein. I keep waiting for someone to bring in eTemplate laser scanning tech to bridge the gap, but nobody has. I fear most people see these as entirely separate domains with little overlap.
The whole first paragraph is completely overbearing. "Quick, pull in every non-mainstream group we can think of, and then describe them all as literally in fear of death from an ambiguous policy about fringe content. Oh, and of course all these people rent off landlords so nasty that they won't accept a single delayed rental payment and they'll end up homeless if that happens". It's completely indefensible hyperbole.
You are right. The answer is, it depends.
The others just downvoted you because of the ”terminal velocity” thing.
I guess you're referring to this[1]. I'd actually call that usage svelte. The macro is undefined not far after it's use in the file, and makes the section it's in far more readable.

Not fraud. Banks use proxies as a legal loophole to sell unguaranteed investment products that are off the books (i.e. Attractive opportunities they're not allowed to pursue directly). The main side-effect is that clients perceive them as guaranteed and diversified, though they are not actively claiming to be so. The WMP sellers just aren't being transparent, and it is unclear what will happen on a default since the government has a history of stepping in with bailouts.

Another powerful demographic force in the USA is the number of men who are ex-convicts:

""Few of us today are aware of the staggering size of this group. In a forthcoming study, Sarah Shannon, a sociologist at the University of Georgia, and five colleagues estimate that America’s criminal class (people with a felony conviction or prison time in their background) roughly quadrupled between 1980 and 2010 — from 5 million to nearly 20 million. Given the flow of sentencing since then, we might expect that population to have topped 23 million by now. And since roughly two and a half million people are behind bars today, this means that 20 million released felons and ex-prisoners are living outside institutions. This implies that at least one in eight adult men in the at-large population has been sentenced for a felony. And the ratio for prime-age men could be even higher, given the upsurge of sentencing in recent decades."

Is it our system of government though that is the problem? There are problems that allow the GOP to have a disproportionate level of control but overall they've been very consistent on consumer protections (being against them that is), they are doing exactly what anyone paying attention to what they do expects. People bicker over politics and make false equivalencies and compare the parties but then complain about this issues like this as if they have no choice. The democrats have their issues, but rather than becoming part of the solution we sit back and complain and generally do very little while the GOP eats your lunch. I'm not saying this describes you, but I think that we find ourselves too easily divided when its pretty clear (to me) which party actually cares more about my interests than the other.

No rocket has had 100% reliability. And you need to be pretty close to that if you want to make sure your nuclear-powered rocket won't explode either at take-off or when landing.

Even if rockets were as reliable as airplanes, it still wouldn't be good enough. We've had several major plane crashes just in the past decade. Now imagine if each of those made a nuclear explosion. Do you think that would be acceptable?

We don't have fission-powered rockets because the math works against them, not because of humans' "irrational fear of nuclear power."
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I understand.

Could as a consumer not add an arbitration clause to every contract you are handed with the same requirements except you get to pick the arbitrator? It seems strange to me that legally only one side of a contract gets to pick all the niceties. I suppose they would have you arrested for impersonating a lawyer to even ask for this.

If you had a large enough dedicated room (I used most of a basement once, with a lot of setup work to give the Kinect the view of just about the whole room) and the right games (some games were less fiddly if multiple people/gestures were recognized that others [1]; though a lot of the management of it is still taking turns and having patience) it was sort of magic to watch particularly young kids play with the Kinect.

Especially then it seemed like a glimpse into a future of where the technology could go, and though that magic was sometimes finicky, it was still magic when it worked.

[1] Kinectimals (essentially a "cat petting" simulator) I recall particularly launching for my youngest cousins to enjoy. There were others, but that's the first to mind; this was a couple years back at a holiday party where most of this happened.
There is also a summary at: https://blog.acolyer.org
In the time since the end of the article's data was sourced, until now, the U6 rate has fallen from 11% to 8.3% - which is back to where it was in the Summer of 1998. When it gets into the 7.x% levels, the employment market will be the second hottest in roughly 50 years next to the year 2000.

The time frame sourced, includes an U6 rate that reached nearly 18% and a U3 rate that hit 10%. It's not surprising that conventional full-time work numbers would be severely distorted both by the great recession and the recovery period.

The actual labor force reality is the US is facing a severe shortage of labor due to extremely slow population growth (and that assumes a big hit from inbound automation; if that's not as big as forecast, the shortage will be that much worse).

The US added $4.x trillion to its economy in the last ten years (despite the great recession), roughly the size of Germany's economy of 82 million people. It accomplished that while adding only 22 million people. Without a leap in automation, ie productivity gains, there's no way to keep matching that economic expansion in the next 10 and 20 years as population growth slows even further.
Most things in life are a tradeoff. At various times, most people give access to their house to various service people. Arguably, random delivery people is a bit different but, on the other hand, their access is presumably logged.

And, at the same time, package delivery is a PITA for many. For me, it's simple. They leave packages by the door and I've never had an issue but that's not true everywhere. I agree that some sort of lock box outside is probably preferable most of the time but this option doesn't seem out of the bounds of common sense.
I received one as a gift, and while I _really_ love the voice controls I don't think I've ever actually used any of the other features on the device.

It would be pretty easy to identify accounts for same users. Most people use same email or username on most of their websites.

The point of password managers are to have true different password for different site and users don't need to remember it. For the inconvenience the author has, there are other secure ways to handle that, no need to sacrifice security for convenience. For example, to have a usb drive with portable password manager installed.

I've tried a lot of productivity tricks and the one I find most effective is to create a mantra. First off I have a todo list and every morning and night it tells me to say my mantra. Secondly I focus on only one thing or habit at a time - everything else which may be important still needs to wait its turn. I then just say whatever my goal is 10 times twice a day and after a week it starts to become difficult to stray from my goal. It usually takes a month or two and then I can start working on my next goal while remembering to maintain my previous ones. Make sure your goals are as concrete as possible - someone else should be able to read them without much context and understand exactly what to do.
