I disagree with this regulation, but the big problem will be with how it's enforced. Won't be long until "the cop said I was looking at my phone, but I wasn't!"
I don't think it is exactly key escrow, because there is no third-party involved. I generated my own keys for my own use, and nobody has access to them (that I know of).

I know this might just be a semantic argument, but the Wikipedia article linked is a good example of how controversial proper key escrow (involving a third party) is.

If I'd refer people to a Wikipedia article, the article on Key Management (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_management) might be a better one, as it is more general, and my blog post touches on many key management topics.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned: Kinect was Microsoft's reaction to Wii's success.

I worked at Microsoft when the first Kinect came out. I spoke with a few members of that team (non-engineers). My question was very clear -- are you expecting this to takeover for controller based gaming? I don't recall all the responses, but I think the overall sentiment was along the lines of "No, but it might", whereas my thoughts were along the lines of it absolutely will not, this is such a gimmick. I'm not a gamer at all, but I used to be in college. When I want to game, I plop down on my couch and mash on the controller. If I wanted to jump around and flail my arms, I'd go to the gym or play some pickup basketball.

I think there was (maybe is) a disconnect between Microsoft and hardcore gamers. Kinect and Xbox One's initial non-gaming features were an attempt to take Xbox "mainstream". Stop it. Appeal to the core demographic. To their credit, it seems like they've been doing that now.

This requires you to hold your phone a certain way (at least initially).
Generally they are sold for a loss to begin with early in the generation. But later iterations usually make money. As a whole, successful consoles, usually can make money for the company producing them. That said both PS3 and Xbox 360 lost money for their respective companies. I believe the Wii and the PS2 however were great financial successes though.
Xenon is apparently pretty expensive, like $1,200/kg. Just running it for 100 hours at 0.00018 kg/s will cost $76,800 for the propellant. Plus 10,200 kWh of electricity!

Preservation for the (Digital) Ages
One thing I keep running into is that for a few of my app ideas, I'm not really interested in just having static queries known at build time, like Relay and Apollo are designed for. I specifically want them to be dynamic and actually based on what components get rendered.

Consider this query from the article:

query ProfilePageData {
user(handle: "manifoldco") {
...HeaderData
...SidebarData
...TweetListData
}
}

That's great if the ProfilePage component knows that it only contains the Header, Sidebar, and TweetList components. Since they're designed for static queries, both Relay and Apollo suffer from this shortcoming: the parent query needs to know about every component that could possibly add fragments ahead of time, and pull them all in. In my opinion, this really fails at fulfilling the promise of components – the parent shouldn't need to know what all its descendants do.

What if the rendered components are more dynamic? Putting @skip directives on every field is not really an option (and then you need a matching query $variable for every directive.)

If you think of the query as more of a template, then you could have portions of the query that are like "template blocks" that other components could extend, e.g.:

query ProfilePageData {
user(handle: "manifoldco") {
${userFragments}
}
}

...then descendant components could have access to `userFragments` as an extension point. I'm not yet sure if it's a terrible idea, but I started a project just the other day to experiment with it: https://github.com/exogen/apollo-dynamic-queries
I thought I was the only one who thought that way!
It means that, too - real estate agents use the term for the little key box they use to let other agents see vacant houses.

Personally I'd use the term "locker" to refer to a box placed outside in which to store packages.
> Being fired with cause impacts their ability to collect unemployment, which most these people deserve.

afaik, performance doesn't impact your benefits in the US, unless it's tied to 'willful misconduct'. if you're (for example) simply incompetent, but honest and good-intentioned, it's entirely the employer's fault for improperly filling the position per their own requirements.
This is kind of my point; the variance and error margin are pretty wide. Specifying "2x" implies a precision I can't vouch for, so I settled for "an order of magnitude" as the general ballpark. If the 2x figure is important to you, I'm happy to make that concession.
Loongson contains several hundred "x86 compatibility" instructions to do things like calculate status codes as x86 does or implement x87 80-bit floating point operations.

This means a dynamically recompiling emulator like Qemu can emit short instruction sequences for blocks of x86 instruction, instead of long workarounds to emulate its oddities.
The person in the car should be looking where they're going, but they expect a clear roadway, not random pedestrians stepping out without paying attention.

In several states, if you're above a certain age (to exempt children) and walk into the path of a moving vehicle outside of a crosswalk, fault will be assigned to you and the driver in equal amounts (unless the driver is speeding, in which case they accumulate more fault).
It seems like the article goes from talking about the reasonable parts of modern liberal belief (LGBT people have the right to exist, racism is still something that exists and happens to minorities, etc) to going dangerously close to the redpill minefield when they start using extreme examples ("cissexual heteropatriarchy" is a phrase I've literally never heard) and the idea that one instance where fighting against things I think we can all agree are bad (racism, sexism, etc) were taken too far means the entire idea of fighting those things is reprehensible.

It seems like that's the real problem now - it's not whether or not these problems exist, or whether they're worth fighting, but rather to what extent they should be fought.
This is likely a spec relaxation of certain components that has limited to no impact on the accuracy of the assembly. This is really common in optics where early design decisions get made and carried forward due to schedule concerns because making changes impacts a ton of things further down like reliability, assembly, etc... I don't see this as a big deal it's just making decisions that improve manufacturability and yield while not having much impact on the overall device.
"I think “overeducated, underemployed hipsters” would cover activists of many different political stripes. But I disagree that upzoning is desired mainly by people who want to live here due to their urban identity."

I'm not so much referring to upzoning which, in general, I am in favor of.

I am referring to the much more general notion that I deserve to live anywhere at prices that preserve my relaxed lifestyle and refined tastes. This is false.

I am open minded about housing being a basic human right. However, I am flabbergasted by the ridiculous notion that anyone deserves to live in any particular place.

"If a city wants to preserve land from development but refuses to upzone to make the remaining housing accessible, then this is indistinguishable from an exclusive gated community and I don’t think I would call it progressive."

You're correct. It is an exclusive community and it's not necessarily progressive in that manner. There is a place for exclusive communities and they are not necessarily negative.
This is unconstitutional. Same with the law requiring a seatbelt. Please tell me whos life you are endangering by crossing the street while viewing your phone? The answer is only your own. The state/government is basically saying we own your life (slavery) by instituting laws like these.
Well yes but it's also the responsibility of the pedestrian to demonstrate intent to cross the road if they do in fact intend to cross.

A lot of the time people are looking at their phones, and look as if they aren't intending to cross, and in the midst of looking at a screen, suddenly out of nowhere, step into the street and start crossing, eyes still glued to the screen.

Because the purported reason for the firings don't add up. Usually in a merger, the combined company simply says what everyone already knows, there's redundancies.
Maybe the negative votes are from the workers you would consider treating unfairly in that scenario. That is also reasonable.

Jeff Hawkins gets shit on a lot in ML because his theories haven’t produced models with results as good as the mainstream approach, but I’m glad they keep working at it and keep coming up with interesting ideas.

Too much of ML these days is about some NN model that does 0.n% better than SOTA on some specific task. Then you change one tiny parameter and he entire thing breaks, and it turns out we didn’t understand why it was working at all.

Just a note on Bushido: Although I'm sure such codes can be useful to people, it's essentially bullcrap got used to fuel Japan's rise of fascism.

https://www.tofugu.com/japan/bushido/

I particularly loathe the term as I've heard it used by more than one desperate "white knight" who doesn't practice a single bit of it but uses it to appear virtuous. Whenever I hear someone mention "bushido", my first instinct is to assume they don't know what they're talking about.

I think it's fine to espouse the ideology if one actually takes it seriously and understands the history(or lack thereof). Sadly, it seems more often to be used as a seemingly non-denominational form of code to be adopted by those trying to mask their own lack of virtue. Then again, it's probably more effective to adopt parts of different ideologies you find useful rather than taint yourself with a name like Bushido.
Up until the WiiU, Nintendo had sold, if memory serves, every console at a profit.

The issue here is that it's being bought without games. They lose money on the tech, and then don't make it up on the licensing.

Having invented something is only useful if you're actually able to get that something into peoples hands. As much as I hate how people drool over overpriced Apple hardware, they've done a great job putting greenfield tech into the hands of consumers. Microsoft conversely actually does "invent" a lot of cool things, but for the last 20 years they've been pretty bad at turning those cool things into successful things

What strategies do you use to keep your password hidden from video cameras?
I work in an environment with many video cameras. When I am at my desk there are two video cameras filming me, one from behind and the other from the front. I have determined that there are only two locations in the building where I can safely sign into my computer or mobile device.

1. up against the bathroom door / in the bathroom itself
2. at my desk as long as I put a blind up around my keyboard / device.

Since I have been working in this high security environment I have become hyper-sensitive to camera locations when unlocking my laptop / mobile device both at work and in public locations. I have a habit of unlocking my device at my desk before moving about and if I forget I walk back to my desk and sit down just to unlock the device.

I am curious how others cope / avoid having their password recorded by video cameras when bio-metric authentication or password management apps are not an option. I am also curious how many have just not been considering this threat and now have their passwords recorded by an unknown number of security cameras.

So a security researcher who was angry about getting raided and hit with a CFAA accusation after an unauthorized access of private medical data started doxxing the FBI agent responsible on Twitter. And in response the FBI is requesting information about the Twitter users that were part of the conversation.

Doesn't seem quite as sensational once you know the backstory. The author is right that the charges aren't the strongest but we can't be obtuse and pretend that posting the personal information of the officer and his family couldn't meet the bar for intimidation or harassment.

I’m surprised. At the rate PV has been falling these subsidies are probably negligible (federal rebate withstanding).

I purchased PV because the cost with a 20-year loan comes out to be 13c kWh, meanwhile PG&E charges 29c kWh. And the loan interest is tax-deductible.
Parcel Pending also does it. I've been in apartments that used Luxer One, and apartments that used Parcel Pending; as a consumer there really is no differentiator.
Nuclear thermal rockets have low specific impulse compared to electrical propulsion, but better ISP than any chemical rockets. They also provide orders of magnitude more thrust than electrical propulsion does. I don't think that they are in the sweet spot for uncrewed probe missions, but the combination of higher-than-chemical ISP and higher-than-electrical thrust seems like a good match for crewed missions to Mars or beyond.

Regarding the many comments in this discussion about accidents during initial launch: if nuclear thermal rockets are fueled with uranium 235, and don't reach criticality until after the risky chemical-booster ascent out of atmosphere, they should be quite safe. Uranium 235 has a 700 million year half life, hence very low radioactivity. The fission products from a live reactor of course include very-short-lived, very-high-radioactivity nuclides. But you can have nuclear power in space with extremely low risks to the terrestrial environment if you use it only for missions that leave Earth orbit, and turn on the reactor only after the risky initial ascent on chemical boosters.

That said, I agree that it would be expensive to develop nuclear thermal rockets. It's very expensive to test them on Earth, since the exhaust carries away some small amount of fission products and people don't just tolerate such radioactive pollution like back in the 1960s. You'd need some very expensive/elaborate test facility that can capture the hot, radioactive exhaust, or you'd need to do all the actual testing in space (also expensive/elaborate).

Question for someone with experience with graphql. I have a data heavy react application I'm working on that would benefit from something like this, but almost every single component has the ability to refetch it's data individually. If you have all of these fragments being passed up to the single query being called, how do you handle a situation where you want the explicitness of refetching only one of those fragments, but getting it on in one initial call?

Yeah, they're not allowed to get into your house at any time...but if they remember the code and then come back later they can disarm your alarm system after breaking in. Maybe you get an alert or a call from your alarm company, but if they can disable the loud ringing then they can make off with a bunch of stuff before anyone shows up (and without the neighbors thinking anything is awry, since they wouldn't hear anything abnormal).

edit: I'm curious to know whether the people downvoting this comment have an alarm system and are happy to give out their alarm code, or if they're people who do not have alarm system and just think that, at a glance, this seems paranoid. I have an alarm system and have never given out the code to anyone. We've thought about giving it to some people whom we trust, but after we thought about it decided against.

It's not really a shame. The Kinect is out of date and never caught on, and there are much better newer sensors that play the same role for researchers and experimenters. If you'd buy a Kinect for hacking, you'd buy Intel's Euclid or another RealSense camera, e.g.
