How do you get anything other than likely correlation from "Predictive coding in the interoceptive and control networks of the brain", and what does it have to do with physics or math? At most, you've provided a biological basis for consciousness. But why would any of that result in color, pleasure, etc?
Here's my attempt at creating a Resume/CV with HTML/CSS: https://github.com/andyfangdz/resume, or https://cv.andyfang.me

A few properties:

* There's no separate CV and Resume. A resume is just the highlighted elements in a CV.

* The "PDF" version is created by print-to-pdf in Chrome.

* `cv` and `resume` pages are statically pre-rendered (google-friendly), with a switch (visible on desktop browsers) to toggle between them.

* Elements are represented in JSON objects, so the entire CV's data can be exported to one JSON string. I also only need to edit the JSON files for changing stuff in my resume.

* Each commit to Github triggers a build in Travis CI, which 1) updates the JS bundles, 2) renders the static pages and 3) updates the rendered PDFs.

Story:

Couple years ago I was doing a re-design on my resume. I started with LaTeX, but in the end did not continue: I wanted my resume to look good on both the Web and on paper, and I couldn't find a LaTeX -> HTML renderer that can be properly indexed by Google.

Then I realized, perhaps I've been doing this backwards: instead of rendering HTML from LaTeX, why don't I just use Chrome's print-to-pdf function to create a PDF from HTML directly? I also wanted to learn React.js, so that was my chance.

Now, if I want to change something in my resume/CV, I can just edit the JSON files, and Travis CI takes care of all the updates, instead of me manually updating multiple versions. I use nightmare.js to capture the PDFs and pre-rendered static HTMLs, and the workflow has been greatly simplified.

Want to hide something in the resume and only show it on the CV? Easy, just change `featured` property to `false`. The "Publication" section even recognizes my frequent co-authors, and render their names as links to their homepages. The possibilities are endless. I have been satisfied ever since.
Skylake is supported, as mentioned in the article you linked to.

Kaby Lake's GPU is not a change from Skylake, so I expect the same problems, just in Win10 instead of 7.

I've been flagging accounts for years, and the quality of decision-making seems to me to have gotten worse recently. I wonder if the push to hire more moderators has lowered the standard.
I wrote several versions of that sentence and ended up deciding on one of the stronger ones, because I feel that the float/absolute/ruby stuff is sufficiently terrible advice these days—and that flex is sufficiently valuable in understanding how things work. I confess I didn’t pay too much attention to chapters 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 after that; with a little updating of some of the advice in chapter 3 they’re pretty sound.

I apologise for not being more specific in that sentence.
I think this is a strong argument that's easily overlooked, like other "political" arguments vs. tech. I expect ample pushback against autonomous auto legislation because of the freedom/privacy implications. It's the government removing the primary means of transport for the entire population, and placing it into the hands of massive corporations. A huge gathering of power for Big Brother.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Supreme Court ruled such laws unconstitutional. Car culture == freedom of expression or something.
They're not necessarily true pixels anymore, but the effect of using px as the unit of measurement hasn't really changed. You're controlling more physical pixels, but a similar size of the screen.
X11 allowed resolution independence (run 'xdpyinfo | grep dimensions' and the report includes the physical size, which will almost certainly be wrong) and in the days of pixel fonts shipped with two sets, for 75dpi and 100dpi, corresponding to the two common display densities of the time. The ‘free desktops’ could have built on this when vector fonts took over, but ignored it in their zeal to imitate Windows.

That's not how bus width works :-). Bus width is the number of physical wires in a bus.

The only reason pixels appear to work is that everyone uses pixels in display setting, so changes to seem to work and people continue to use them to size things.
They might as well just call them "screen resolution" or something, because they sure aren't resolution.
Actually, the W3C calls it a "reference pixel": https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-3/#reference-pixel -- other units: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-3/#lengths
That's what the legal system exists for, burden of proof.
I just boosted couple of posts on Facebook. Every single one of them had likes from Bangladeshi click farms. I am not even kidding. Each of the likes had western sounding name with about 30 friends all of who were posting in Bengali language.

For Semantic Synchrony[1], we keep our notes in Semantic Synchrony, a knowledge graph server (written in Java, using Gremlin and Neo4j) and client (Emacs). It allows for selective sharing, and you can connect your private notes to your shared notes however you like -- for instance, I've got a lot of "half-formed hypothesis" notes that I don't think are worth anybody else's time, so I keep those private. It eliminates the dead link problem, and the linearity constraints that trees (let alone flat folders or text files) impose.

It's open-source, with a lot of features, and well documented.

Also we should have an API for getting the Pixels Per Inch in browsers, it's a lie of 72 dpi everywhere currently regardless of the realdpi.
Doesn't it matter which Saudi's money it is?

I mean shouldn't a distinction be made between the government, the zealots, private investors, citizens and so on?
So... it should be 5 inches on a 52" screen and also 5 inches on a 7" smart phone screen? I guess users are gona have to find a way to wrap the rest of the 52 inches around their face when trying to read that example text other wise it's wasted space.

Looking at the problem holistically is not optional when it comes to perception.

The problem is that if you want this, you now decide that scaling is not on integral or simple fractional scales (i.e. 2x or 2.5x), but on any arbitrary floating point scale (i.e. 2.0245x), which makes shipping bitmap assets generally pretty problematic.

We decide that, in order to make writing applications easier, we will _approximate_ font sizes, because in most applications, it's Going To Be Okay. It sucks that certain ones like DTP apps get the raw end of the deal, but at the end of the day, it's better for most people using computers that we don't try to perfectly abstract away the exact pixel density and dimensions of your display.
If the CIA, Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia all fund startups, would the conflicting interests then cancel each other out?
"Flexbox works kinda like this as far as i know:"

That's the thing - nobody knows exactly how it works. Except few developers who actually tried to implement the spec.

Nobody knows why do we need separate flex-shrink and flex-grow. Nobody knows why these are properties and not units so they can be used not just for width/height but for padding, margin, border-width, top/left/bottom/right, size, etc.

Nobody knows why 'flex' is a value of 'display' property and not of some other property orthogonal to display like 'flow' or 'layout'. So we can write something like this:

td.some {
display:table-cell;
flow: horizontal; // a.k.a. flex/row
}

At the moment there is no way to define flexible content flow inside table-cell's and list-item's as display:flex is mutually exclusive with display:table-cell.

Really, flexbox is the worst CSS module ever published and accepted by W3C.

Considering SF/SV market rates for rent do not cover the mortgage and property taxes of a newly acquired property, there's likely some level of price decreasing competition that the lower overhead units are providing.

Let’s say we get to a point where being driven autonomously is cheaper and more convenient than owning and driving your own car. Wouldn’t the people that still choose to drive, despite the higher cost, be the people that like driving? And wouldn’t it make sense that these people would be pretty good drivers, get into accidents less, and therefore cost less to insure than the average driver today?
Really cool! Looks like it stopped working at some point today though.
This might not be a comment people expect. I am a lover of abstract and surreal art and music, and while I personally don't like surreal stuff that gets gory or sexual or violent, some of the "off putting" bizarre videos the author shared here I found fantastic. I really liked the "wrong head" video for example.

I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to take that, perhaps it indeed is a sign these things might not be for children. :) I'm not sure how I'd feel if my nephew was subjected to this.

But with that said, I do want to remind people that there were abstract and surreal themes and art in children's media before. Winnie the Pooh had the "hevulumps and woozles" and then there was Halloween is Grinch Night, with the bizarre ten minute stretch of ghouls and shifting shapes trying to scare the main character. There was violence in Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, and almost every cartoon I watched. The gore and extreme sexual content are probably a bridge too far though, but it's not some of the milder content is that far outside what we watched as kids.

EDIT: I do admit though that this is different and I mostly agree with the author. The surreal stuff in kid's cartoons had some artistic intent. The "surreal" stuff here is essentially unintended, and merely the shoddy examples of a system meant to exploit children.
He's trying to silence dissent for the war in Lebanon against Iran, he's allying with Israel against it , which explains the clerics. He's forcing the princes like bin Taleb to give up their money (100 billion) for a war chest. Saudi Arabia is not a warlike country, this is stupid and retarded on so many levels.

It may be better to think of a cell as more of a liquid crystal than anything else, considering the densities. The synapse of neurons is incredibly dense with structures and scaffolding proteins. Even most grad students still think that the ER is a soma kinda thingy, but it goes all the way up the dendrite to just kiss the synaptic buton. The ER is really more of a cell inside a cell, or rather the cell membrane is just a latex bodysuit for the ER.

It's always amazing to me when I heard guys like Elon and Kurzweil talking about MMIs and how you are never gonna actually die, you'll just upload your brain, somehow. Like, they really have no idea how clueless we are in biology. Eric Schmidt goes to parties in West LA about living forever. It's crazy. We are decades away from even a cursory understanding of 1 cubic mm of brain tissue, with all the neurons, astrocytes, glia, mesenchymal cells, etc. Like, we just found out that the immune system is in your brain too, like 3 years ago. I actually think Elon has better odds of putting 0.6 of a Saturn V on Mars and not having it explode before we have a MMI.
You are describing rare, single digit numbers of events that netted enough to be characterized as hundreds of millions / year for a short time period. That's "extraordinary". Meaning that skill alone doesn't guarantee that earning level.

Generally, single digit millions/year seems a reasonable expectation for a very talented (and ethically flexible) exploit practitioner. Beyond that requires luck and right place / right time.

Free office space for a startup in Bangalore
The tech industry has, historically and in aggregate, had pretty solid rates of returns. If I was sitting on a dwindling store of natural resources as my primary store of wealth, I would probably want to try to diversify that wealth into other areas and grow that wealth aggressively while my potentially limited income source is still highly profitable.

I'm not sure that more nefarious aims need to be posited than simple avarice.
>The money from regimes that have been criticized for their human rights records — from Saudi Arabia’s government in particular, which has plans to funnel potentially hundreds of billions of dollars into tech companies through its state-controlled Public Investment Fund

Lots of sovereign wealth fund cash, also people within the monarchy with money to throw around.
And a lot of those blobs aren't even 'you'...
Same reason they invest in Fox News—aim the weapon at your enemy, like Iran. It’s no coincidence the media is always screaming about Iran, who is actually more moderate than our supposed ally Saudi Arabia. It’s a way to buy themselves a free pass from criticism.
I wish default sizes didn’t matter so much. In theory, anything that’s too small can be Accessibility-sized to something that you like better. In practice, you just give up after encountering a bunch of “Butto…” with “Titl…” and decide to suffer through whatever improper size was chosen. (Or if you’re really unlucky, it’s one of those interfaces where improperly-fitting text just plain disappears without leaving anything behind.)

The number one rule with text should be: respect the user’s choice.
> The only reason AMD is alive is because Intel lets it live.

In addition to the UA spoofing others mention, there's also forward conpatibility.

If your app holds a mini "caniuse.com" UA-feature mapping, you have to keep it up to date infinitely forward in time, or new browsers won't work (think Brave/etc)

Better to detect features directly, and reward anyone who implements them, rather than just hardcode the present incumbents.
Because it's a good investment, and Saudi Arabia is desperate to diversify their money before all the oil dries up.

Why is this complicated?
>The money from regimes that have been criticized for their human rights records

TBF the US well and truly falls into that category too.
Even if it isn’t nefarious, maybe we still shouldn’t let them profit off our liberal democracy while they exploit their own citizens, enslave foreigners, fund terrorism, and abuse women. Maybe we shouldn’t let them have their cake and eat it too. Make them pick between human rights and investing in the S&P500.

Wire fraud is not rare. You can steal tens of millions by hacking a single companies webmail.

It doesn’t even have to be a company with any infosec staff, think any big factory or a mine. Large wire transfers over email are a daily thing.

Right now the main barrier is the prestige that comes with some of the bigger journals, but that's a shallow moat. Honestly, it could happen soon.

Everyone knows that the current model is indefensible.
Americans are just like everyone else when it comes to effects of price and convenience.

In Manhattan, only 23% of households own cars (https://www.nycedc.com/blog-entry/new-yorkers-and-cars).

In suburbs, it's 100%+.

Are Americans living in suburbs 5x more freedom loving than those living in Manhattan?

Of course not. In suburbs owning a car is a necessity (regardless of price). In Manhattan, you can live without a car and space is in such a premium that owning a car is an expensive hassle. You can see how massive effect of price and convenience can be.

Now imagine that long term per-mile cost of using a car from a fleet is lower than buying your own car? Most people will switch.

How is that possible? Cars are idle, on average, 96% of the time. If a fleet of cars can generate 50% utilization (12 hour out of 24 hour day), there's a lot of room to make a profit while charging lower per-mile price than owning a car.

When self-driving technology works, it'll be a matter of time for majority (easily 50%+) of people to switch to using a car from self-driving fleet vs. owning a car.
