Agreed.

In this vein, Politico noted six years ago:

>I talked with the president at one of those fundraisers some months back, and I asked him, "What keeps you up at night?"
> And he said, "Everything. Everything that gets to my desk is a critical mass. If it gets to my desk, then no one else could have handled it." So I said, "So what's the one that keeps you up at night?"
> He goes, "There are quite a few."
> So I go, "What's the one? Period."
> And he says, "Pakistan."
> I get that: There's the question of whether Zardari's government is actually in control, or whether the military is. And how close the Taliban, or Al Qaeda, or whoever else is to having their hands on real weapons of mass destruction. It's the closest government there is to allowing those weapons to either be used or sold to places that we really wouldn't like to have those weapons. That's a concern for all of us.

This whole story sounds horrifically dangerous and unlikely to be approved of with regards to zoning and building inspectors.

Indeed cities of mediterranean and baltic seas are luck to be able to escape raising sea levels by building on dam.

But the sea level doesn't rise fast enough to motivate enough people to build a dam, so people will end up slowly leaving places that get inundated.

But there is another way to prevent raising sea levels, which is moving that water into aquifers and lakes in places that are currently deserts. Huge deserts in Sahara Iran and Middle Asia can easily take the large chunk of water that is currently stored in polar caps. We just need to invest more in building large scale climate modifying structures, like solar towers, solar power plants, dams and canals.

It isn't about length of screen time. The different mediums have different opportunities and obligations. What is important is the emotional weight of the screen time given. Plenty of movies, even super hero movies like Logan, are able to give that weight in short bursts.

Can you actually use the Web on this? A couple of years ago I installed NetBSD on a Vaxstation 3100, and white it ran fine, and even networked over the AUI port, I couldn't get Lynx to run. I'd love to have a less-anachronistic BSD on my VAX.

Thanks. We definitely try. :D
To be clear, this was my point--because of the "action" mechanism, it's trivial to make a timeline.
That was a very information-dense intro. I watched that link and it felt like three minutes, but was just 1:01 when I checked the duration!
I moved to a new apartment and made the switch as well (Previously had comcast/verizon/cox/century link). RCN has been excellent in Chicago. $45/month for Gigabit internet and other BS charges. Customer service is also the best. I called them because they charged me an installation fee by accident and waived it immediately no questions asked. Can't honestly ask for any better than that.

Hell, most of the OS projects that get posted here have that very same problem.

When I go to a project's site, I should be able to tell what they do and what they're for within 5-10 seconds, preferably without any scrolling (depending on screen size) and definitely without having to click on anything.
So you can trust your disassembler and strace, but not your compiler? Your method is just vulnerable to another flavor of trusting-trust. What about the compiler that built your rev-eng and blackbox tools?
The cinematic universe isn't a high bar to clear, but these stories were really mature compared to other children's TV shows then and since.

Killing a major character in basically the first episode was, highly unusual.

And forcing the other X-Men to deal with that loss in subsequent episodes, isn't something you see in children's TV EVER.

Even when they finally brought back Morph (This is a comic book show, no one can die forever), he wasn't really the same. Everything didn't go back to being ok, he was permanently damaged and had PTSD from the experience and was unable to join the X-Men.

As a 6 year old who had family members with PTSD, this cartoon connected with me like nothing else would until I was a teenager and able to read real literature.
Thank you. :)

(I'm one of the dev's on that project)
Oh cheers! Looking forward to watching that.
I enjoyed the X-Men theme, but I think Spiderman's easily tops it for me (I also loved the 2nd version of the Iron Man Theme growing up).

I've never used it much, but my guess is that web app developers have moved on to Bootstrap and there's not a lot of them using it anymore, or, as in my case, using just a few of the features it offers which, in my case, isn't a good use of it.
EDIT: I was wrong. See the child for correction.

There are no radioactive materials in the warhead. In other words: there are no materials that undergo radioactive decay. What is in there are fissile materials: ie. materials that emit neutrons upon being irradiated with neutrons.

The only way the warhead might become radioactive is if it partially detonated.
I've been working from home for 6 years and am currently looking for a job I can commute to. I am productive at home but I miss the camaraderie that an office setting provides. Human interaction is important to me and it took 6 years of working from home, feeling isolated, to figure that out.
Modularization and impacts of not doing it
Very interesting concept. It reminds me of the discussion I've seen around smalltalk, in which smalltalk fans say that dev environments should be live and should immediately react to changes. The idea of being able to sketch something up on a whiteboard and having the UI come to life on a screen next to me instantaneously really feels similar.

On the other hand, who is the guy doing the talk at the bottom of the page? That was totally cringy. I felt like he didn't know what he was talking about.

Edit: wording. tone.

The reason you need a gel between the USG head and the body is to bridge the gap with something of a similar speed of sound. Barriers between materials of significantly different speed of sound reflect large part of sound waves; having such a strong barrier at the skin would make the SNR much worse.

Speed of sound in metals is much larger than speed of sound in water or air. I'm unaware of liquids that could be used in place of USG gel for examining metal objects (maybe mercury? but that would be bad from the environmental and health/safety POV).

> But don't fool yourself. Humans and well..life..are just input output machines with incredible pattern matching capabilities.

See, that seems to me like a statement of faith which I just don't share. I think that building relational models of the world via abstract inductive reasoning is qualitatively different than pattern matching. I don't think there's some magic tonnage of pattern matching at which abstract inductive reasoning will suddenly emerge. I don't think that they're isomorphic. I think the AI toolkit still has a few missing pieces.
Thanks for the advice, I downloaded OsmAnd plus. :)
I hate the commute as well! What a waste of life!
If regulators won't approve Qualcomm's NXP purchase, I find it hard to believe they would approve this deal.
I consider DL to be a technology. Of course there is DL theory, but most people doing DL are engineers. To say that most advancements are in hardware really trivializes the engineering breakthroughs made in computer vision, language understanding, robotics, etc. DL is enabled by better hardware, but it still requires a lot of work.
Citation needed - obviously culture and education have an enormous impact on how humans live, but given that other animals are driven to reproduce, it shouldn't be a surprise that we are also.

Pyro is a universal probabilistic programming language (PPL) written in Python and supported by PyTorch on the backend. Pyro enables flexible and expressive deep probabilistic modeling, unifying the best of modern deep learning and Bayesian modeling. It was designed with these key principles:

Universal: Pyro can represent any computable probability distribution.
Scalable: Pyro scales to large data sets with little overhead.
Minimal: Pyro is implemented with a small core of powerful, composable abstractions.
Flexible: Pyro aims for automation when you want it, control when you need it.

> Incredible as it may sound to a civilian, Hicks said he spent no time worrying about the thermonuclear warhead. He had been convinced by his training that it was nearly impossible to detonate a warhead accidentally. Among other things, he said, the warhead had to receive codes from the launch-control officers, had to reach a certain altitude, and had to detect a certain amount of acceleration and G-force. There were so many safeguards built in, Hicks later joked, that a warhead might have been lucky to detonate even when it was supposed to.
I agree it's not something you really think about (I used to think automatic was for lazy people), but when you don't have to think about it, it's a load off your mind. This is exactly my point though - it's a habit that people are used to, and don't see why (or don't want to know why) changing it might be beneficial.
Judge stops sale of Ring Protect home security systems
Broadcom just announced yesterday that they are moving their legal corporate HQ back to the US. I wonder if that has anything to do with this news.
I'm not sure what "fairness" has to do with it.

Sure, Apple makes their own life easier in terms of security by applying draconian restrictions on the freedoms of their own users. But this and the fact that things are not as easy for Google to do effective security doesn't make it any less true that they aren't doing it.

Again, Apple's Uber backdoor isn't really relevant - I never implied Apple were benign, just that Google's security record is imperfect, and compares poorly.

The openness and diversity of Android's platform isn't a wholesale excuse for not securing users.
Ok, now I get it, but I’m not really interested in continuing the conversation with such weapons-grade sarcasm.

”The company will make 30 million iPhone X units during the current quarter
[…]
Apple said […] it expects first-quarter revenue of $84 billion to $87 billion”

Assuming they will also sell those $999 iPhone X’s, that would mean a _third_ of their revenue would be from iPhone X this quarter. Or do they give significant price cuts to large customers?
seems to me to be related to 'ripe', because in german that's "reif", which in "ausgereifte idee" has almost the same meaning and it's probably from "Reifen" ('tire') cognate to ring, so round or rather whole.

The semantic distinction between abstract and concrete idea is still virtual, though. The ripe apple you think about is still a virtual image. Or rather original, because even scientifically in e.g. biology, specific specimen are used as arch example to define clades and such. We care very much about relational structure, after all. An abstraction thus is something loosely or not at all connected to the currently favoured theory of the overall structure of life.
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

The most impressive thing to me is how similar the iPhone X is to the original iPhone (shown side by side in the second picture).

Ten years ago, Apple totally nailed the design. Same buttons, same speaker design, same full panel display. Even design work by a company as talented as Apple, you might expect that a new model ten years into the future may look quite different, but it looks the same.

8 lessons that left me strange things to apply in a Startup
Well said, that gives me a perfect frame to say that the inherent complication in handling the ship's trajectory is how rapidly the trajectory may need to completely change, contrasted against the reaction time of the vessel itself.

The OOD is estimating a best trajectory given an analysis of the navigation constraints and the behavior of every possible contact in the vicinity. Orders at every level of detail are possible at any time... from 'resume best course for point "X-Ray"' to 'allaheadflankfullrightrudderbraceforimpactport!'.
That is the point of resistance to most levels of automation past 'ship's wheel mirrors rudder angle' and 'engine order repeater indicates desired engine rpm'.
AI/ML - specifically Deep Bayesian approaches. The Deep neural network might have run its course, but Bayesian approaches (Probabilistic Graph Models) hold a lot of promise.

I don't mind people criticizing the design or layout of content meant to be read, but... come on. You "cannot make yourself endure reading" it? Because the text is slightly too light and contrast slightly too low as a result? It's "unsettling and stressful" that there are code snippets and text interspersed?

Sure, it's annoying that there's an ever-present overlay at the bottom. And the contrast could be better. But I'm hoping your comment is over-the-top hyperbole, because an insurmountable refusal to read content because the text is two shades too light is just silly. Even if it is hyperbole, do we really need someone to make this style of comment every single time a content author strays away from absolutely optimal legibility?

I don't have a lot of experience, but I suspect that many visual applications could be greatly improved by a well defined command language.

The various dialog boxes and widgets in apps like Gimp and Inkscape always seem fussy and annoying to me, especially when I know exactly what I want. If I could talk to the app, I would say "put margins 2cm from the page edge" or "position object X halfway between objects Y and Z", etc.

Blender has a Python console, and it's even somewhat discoverable because you can find out how to script an action you do in the UI, but the Python API is too verbose and ugly to be an actual daily mode of operation, I think.
