This is how just about every traffic law works. Take speeding as an example. Cop gets you with a speed measuring device like LIDAR or RADAR. He writes down the measured speed, clears out his device. How do you know that's what the gun actually registered? They totally have the power to make up a speed, pull you over and ticket you. Good luck in court. It almost always comes down to your word vs the officer's.

Also happened during the 2016 G20 summit in Hangzhou. There's a Chinese phrase for it, "G20 blue" or "G20蓝". (https://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2016/08/26/china-basks-i...)

That said, this doesn't seem to be a localized shutdown, of the kind we saw during the Olympics or G20 summit. I know of a number of Chinese factories in industries ranging from finished wood products to consumer electronics that have been shutdown nationwide for "environmental audits".

Nah, due to the nature of the purchase, it's almost entirely about what happens when the monthly statement arrives and the wife gets a hold of it before you do.

"No, honey, I don't know anything about those charges on the credit card statement. Someone must have stolen our card information."

It also doesn't help that historically all those "age verification via credit card" routines inevitably enroll users in opt-out autobilling for services they legitimately don't want and end up disputing. The industry brought this on themselves.
None of the women who came forward were ever in a position where I could make or break their careers. Sexual Harassment requires that I have such power.

This is not true and it does not look good for him to say it:

The legal and social understanding of sexual harassment, however, varies by culture.

In the context of US employment, the harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a client or customer, and harassers or victims can be of any gender.

But, I do generally agree that two wrongs don't make a right. I am pretty appalled to hear that he had an online text-based affair with a woman who outed him to his wife for apparently vindictive reasons.

I don't know how we move this discussion forward into constructive territory. I see this at least partly through the lens of massive social changes disrupting the rules and neither side having a good play book. I challenge commenters here to find something constructive to say and avoid just wallowing in the mud here.
Late last year and early this year we used Screenhero daily. It was free, so I didn't expect too much, but my team had various connection issues daily on various OSs and locations. I stopped using it despite it being smooth as butter when it worked (which was 80%+ of the time).

Hopefully Slack's acquisition helps/helped them with those apparent scaling issues.
the FBI is requesting information about the Twitter users
that were part of the conversation.

What an exceptionally flippant dismissal of what is clearly an overstep. "FBI is requesting information" i.e. the FBI is subpoenaing Twitter about "users that were part of the conversation" -- users who discussed a case on twitter.

I feel like your use of the phrase "part of the conversation" -- a phrase often used as euphemism for actual involvement -- is a subtle deception to anyone reading your comment. The totality of their involvement is tweets discussing the case.

You go even further by following up claiming it "doesn't seem quite as sensational once you know the backstory" and in the next sentence you mention the alleged crime that they were talking about, not that they were involved in.

To me, it feels like your comment is either missing the point that these 5 were simply talking about the case; or you are being willfully deceptive.
Burning buried sunshine: Human consumption of ancient solar energy (2003) [pdf]
Typically hall effect thrusters have an ISP of 1600 while Raptors have an ISP of 375 in a vacuum. In a cost benefit analysis this is what makes electric propulsion sensible for long term missions. Otherwise their low thrust and heavy weight (Thruster and electrical generator) would make them unappealing.
I think it was more similar to how Double Fine's Happy Action Theater / Kinect Party handled the system (I recall they had some great write ups of the compromises they found), which came later than my hazy memories of my young cousins but also fit that young of an audience well. The Kinect provided a spectrum of accuracy. The most accurate skeletonizations required the most trade-offs in number of users and unobstructed views, etc, but the Kinect also provided lots of less accurate data, such as the raw depth sensing, and you didn't have to rely on just one data stream. So you might use the depth sensing alone as your primary tool, and there were enough basic gestures you can easily watch that way (like reaching in to "pet a cat" can be a very clear depth change), and use more accurate gestures and skeleton tracking for cases where you actually need more accurate gestures and/or skeleton tracking. You would use one data source to backup the other rather than only programming to the easiest/most accurate/most in-depth model.

I find Kinect programming retrospectives fascinating. Particularly that fascinating feel that with the Kinect you have so much data at your fingerprints that good Kinect programming is as much figuring out (quickly) which data to ignore as which data to use, but also realizing that you don't have to trust just one source of the data you want a gestalt of it. (...and getting a good gestalt to be performant in real time is certainly a challenge.)

These four areas are quite interesting. Each defines a specific role a person holds in society. If nothing other than adopting formalized views and conversations along these roles, the West would benefit. The US appears to be failing in all of them, in aggregate.
Primesense was the source of the structured light technology in the Kinect v1. They were purchased by Apple.

They produced an ASIC that ran the structured light system, as well as a custom grating to produce a very specific light pattern.
With glasses, not SUN glasses.
I suspect, also not any large glasses that are IR blocking or ski goggles. Perhaps not outside in the sun with a baseball hat on (depending IR filters and dynamic range).

All of this including the 1:Mil number are up for grabs since nobody has really tried it, but the challenges of 3D structured light matching aren't rocket science.
This is a great idea - lots of sites can make great use of Bootstrap and having ways to reskin it easily greatly increases the available looks and feels.

Something I'd personally pay for is an in-depth guide for how to go about reskinning Bootstrap myself, as my current approach is just to add one-off styles as needed or customize a few of the Sass variables but nothing fancier.

By that definition, they could lay off only 0.15% of their workforce and still qualify. Likewise, bigger companies are probably in a perpetual state of "mass layoff."

Context is important, though. The term can be simultaneously technically correct in the context of US Department of Labor terminology and misleading to a general audience. I think that is happening here.
Can someone tell me how screenhero performs in a call of 50+ people? We teach classes, and Slack is our home base, so Screenhero would be great, but I’m not sure of how it scales.
No, you would need to test it for your workload.

>> 12 of the 13 academics at U.C. Berkeley who signed a letter to the chancellor protesting Yiannopoulos were from “Critical theory, Gender studies and Post-Colonial/Postmodernist/Marxist background.” This is a shift in Marxist theory from class conflict to identity politics conflict; instead of judging people by the content of their character, they are now to be judged by the color of their skin (or their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, et cetera).

So Yiannopoulos' critics object to his identity as a white gay man, rather than the hate speech he proliferates? Nice try
If anyone from Slack is reading, I'm respectfully asking that they change the sunset date or invest the engineering effort to fix the performance regression before the sunset date.

Odd that he didn't have an objection to it when Tesla was benefiting from it.. but once Tesla 3 sales crossed that 200k threshold, and set the end date on the subsidy for Tesla... then Musk comes out and says 'We MUST end this subsidy for everyone immediately'.

Cargo cult programming abounds in a lot of the ML stuff I read.

Bootstrap 4 has some really good new features so I use it for my own projects.

Assuming I did build HOCs for doing so, the difference boils down to this: in your approach, query variable props would magically be passed down the component tree via `context` and used by descendant components in duplicated queries. The way I've built it, query fragments are magically passed up the component tree via `context` and used in a single query.

Considering neither are possible with vanilla Relay and Apollo and I need to build these helper HOCs either way, I don't really see why what you're proposing is better. I had already considered them both and deliberately did not do it that way.

Ask HN: Should we block non-gzip HTTP bots to reduce bandwidth costs?
We run web servers on EC2 (behind ELB) and are dealing with high bandwidth charges.
The bulk of the bandwidth charges are due to bots scraping/crawling/pinging without gzip.

Is it safe to block requests made without the accept-encoding header? (and what HTTP status code should be used? 400?) Naively it seems it would only be inconveniencing poorly written and uninvited bots (SEO spam, bots trying to find exploits etc.)

Or should we respond with gzip compression, no matter what?

Or should we stop using AWS since the bandwidth is too expensive because of situations like this?
Totalitarianism always had its benefits but the population is left with no backup mechanism if the group in charge happens to be really bad at their jobs and/or their interests do not line up with those of the population. An efficient government can be a really bad thing when its goals does not align with the population's.

One advantage of democracy is that there is a mechanism for peaceful transition of power if the current leadership isn't working. Without this, a country has to resort to armed rebellion.

China has historically legitimized armed popular rebellion with the concept of the "mandate of heaven". When an armed popular rebellion topples a dynasty, the previous dynasty is said to have lost its mandate of heaven and the successful rebel leader is said to have gained it. This is why China has historically had dynastic cycles. Democracy is a possible solution for escaping the cycle of often disastrous and very bloody armed rebellions.
Missed that one! Thanks.
We're talking about morality, not laws.

I wish this was forked instead of killed. Everytime I use Screenhero, it has been butter smooth.

I would be ready to pay $3/month for screenhero standalone or a pay-per-use. I'm not interested in Slack, the use cases are clearly different.

I think Slack missed or rather killed an opportunity here, they could have kept Screenhero (and use it to upsell Slack) and also integrated it in Slack. Not only that but it took them over 2 years to make this integration and in the meantime Screenhero remained invite-only.

> reasonable parts of modern liberal belief [vs.] the redpill minefield when they start using extreme examples

The things you call "reasonable" were "redpill minefield" to prior generations. Even women working was radical. Segregation was widely accepted. Homosexuality was illegal - nobody was talking about marriage, except probably some college campus radicals.

It's a regular pattern: In college, we are open to new ideas and form their beliefs; we challenge the existing orthodoxies and wonder how the older generation can possibly support obvious evils, not understanding they were radical at the time. Then we move on and retain those beliefs: we aren't challenged on our ideas and aren't exposed to new ones, at least not nearly as much and as radically as in college. The new generation goes to college, challenges our settled ideas, and we suddenly are in the position we criticized before: Now, we say, they are going too far.

And so change often only happens as fast as generations come and go. Marijuana legalization took waiting for the old generation to die out. Old white people - i.e., the old generation - make up much of the Tea Party (if that's still a thing) and the reactionary GOP.

I think the language is off-putting, but that has nothing to do with the value of the ideas (if I read it correctly the meaning of "cissexual heteropatriarchy", which is new to me too, is that politics is dominated by heterosexuals who fit their gender stereotypes (i.e., aren't transsexual, etc.) - really not such a radical thought). I agree the ideas are challenging, but that certainly is not a signal of their value - other than possibly being a positive signal. If we want society to move forward faster than the generational pace, then we can't play the role of the comfortable, older generation - we're going to have to step way outside our comfort zones and into the redpill minefield.

Perhaps it's due to my own personal shortcomings, but I found FAE really difficult to wrap my head around until I'd read through Fate Core. I do like its brevity and simplicity, especially now that I have a good understanding of it, but I felt like some parts of it were unclear to me as a fledgling.

> I love Fate Core, but it's very wordy because it functions as a toolkit to adapt the game to any sort of setting imaginable.

I can see why so many people love it! I like it, though I must admit it isn't my favorite (I don't play a lot of pulpy games, and I've found Fate works really well for pulp, as designed to do, but not particularly well for other tones (though not particularly poorly, either)). I just finished up another reply to GP, wherein I mention that toolkit-esque quality. I don't think I truly understood Fate as a system until I internalized that it's not a game so much as a foundation and scaffold for creating games. Fate's immediate ancestor, Fudge by Steffan O'Sullivan, is very much in the same vein, but, I think, more obviously so (the Fudge book itself reads more like a list of possibilities than a list of rules!).

> I'm working on a space opera variant (in the 27th century genetically engineered cosplayers, makers, scientists and pop culture enthusiasts set out to reconnect the lost civilizations of humanity) …

That sounds fun! Is it available on the web somewhere for perusal?

I myself am working on a game, as well, though I opted to try my hand at designing a system "from scratch" (more of an amalgam of lots of ideas and mechanics that I like and that seem to work well together; exceedingly few of them are my original creations, but I have a ludography documenting and acknowledging my inspirations). Unfortunately, it's been on the backburner for a little over a year now, and the partially-written playtest document is out of date wrt my notes.

Perhaps we could talk nerdy game-design sometime :)
Feel the same about every social network, and honestly the net has become "lonelier" for lack of a better word. Facebook is just people selling their junk, whether fingernail addons, kids clothing, or diet regimes. Twitter is really just people shouting into the ether, I enjoy it during college football games of collective "yay" or "nooo" moments with a few real life friends but otherwise its a high noise news feed. LinkedIn has a bizarre social aspect to it that confuses me.

I don't know, maybe its me getting older, but more digitally connected than ever and feel much less personally connected than ever except with the friends that I keep direct/group imessage conversations going with for months and years at a time.

A century ago, you and I would would hammer out the terms of a contract to our mutual and equitable interest and sign it. Both of us being bound.

They expect to be able to strip away legal rights in their Terms of Service and End User Licensing Agreements, while also retaining the right to change ANYTHING at ANY time they please yet still have courts treat them like binding contracts.

What we need is a core set of consumer rights that are immutable.
