It never takes long to put time estimates together that will lead to disastrous project management decisions.

The rest of the world benefits far more from faster and more effective product development than it does schedule estimations.
The devs have made the rendering algorithm secret. So even if you have the cat token, you can't know what it looks like unless you go through their front-end.
I think the point is that it's a fiat currency but it's purely digital and and not paper cash, and transfers use a blockchain (?) instead of bankfiles. Unclear who controls the block chain though, I'd guess it's centralized.

The early episodes seemed equal parts comedy and science fiction. The later episodes have turned into science fiction with some comedy.

The antagonism between the captain and commander about the relationship was mostly toned down until an episode where it was actually appropriate.
> and the prosecutor mentions what you said.

And then what? You're under further suspicion? If you're innocent, that shouldn't be your concern. But all you gotta do is STFU. Don't talk to the police either way.

What you said shouldn't be enough proof except in a banana republic.

If you were always spoofing your MAC address however, then you can use that as your defense.

Your argument is akin to it being suspicious that you use Tor. As if that means your computer should be seized because you might have WMDs. Tor usage might make you suspicious only if other credible factors exist.
The article put a lot of attention in the visual design of the page, how Stripe "designs" websites didn't rely only in asthetics.

How the Stripe team write the message thinking on explain clearly what the product does to a specific target audience, how they design a solid and organized information architecture of the site to make it simple and fast to find things, how they work on performance to give a good browser experience, how they work on SEO to increase discoverability, this is a really important part of the design too.

The design community sill have the 2000s phantom of "design is to make it look nice", it is, but many other decisions can create a good user experience design that aren't asthetics.

For example, Dribbble, it captures some part of UX design; the visuals, aesthetics, shapes, use of colors, empathy and more can be seen reflected in those little shots. However there is another large part related to the strategy, information architecture, planning, sketching, etc. that Dribbble can't cover, and that's fine.
On Medium you can find some good and complete UX case studies to tell you more stories about design.

Also don't forget that this is a desktop environment analysis of the visual design, phones is a different story, different context and has constraints that sometimes didn't allow you to express visually like in desktop.
This.

Children thrive on boundaries. It gives them an 'area' within which they can fully explore, learn, play, etc, while KNOWING that as long as they stay within those lines, everything will be fine.

I call it THE VOICE, and I try and keep its use to the minimum, so as to not reduce its effectiveness. However, when I do use it, mine knows he has to stop pushing boundaries, or there will be repercussions.
Despite the silly (terrible?) humor, it is clearly not intended to be a parody. "Inferior copy" is more accurate, but having seen 11 episodes now, I'd say that it's only a little bit inferior, not a lot. It seems that the people involved really loved Star Trek: The Next Generation. (Keep in mind that Star Trek TNG was pretty spotty the first season, itself.)

If the humor is just not your thing, then you made the right call to abandon it in the second episode. On the other hand, the third episode seems to be the first one that people really liked. That one really felt like a TNG episode and the plot had a couple of surprises in it that I think made the story better. It was also kind of heavy-handed, but then none of the Star Trek series were known for subtlety.
Are you sure? Couldn’t Redbox “dissasemble” the disc by transferring the code to paper and physically removing it from the disk? How would that be different than buying an all-in-one computer, taking it apart and selling each component individually?

Sys Admin/Hardware dork here.

Absolutely this. No need to run enterprise level hardware at home. You can easily run a huge environment with 128gb of ram and an 8-core Ryzen processor. If you want to get crazy you could even get an Epyc CPU with a SuperMicro motherboard, put it into a eATX whitebox case and run silent fans with a huge heatsink and still barely use any power. You can even run all the networking OS's in VM's, either with PFSense or some other vm template or use GNS3. No need to purchase a ton of hardware.

It really makes no sense to me why people drop all this money on R710's and make their house sound like the Hartsfield-Jackson Delta Terminal.

The obvious difference here is that no one dies if I start training my new weird deep learning architecture on some challenging training set on an AWS gpu instance and said architecture turns out to be crap.

Meanwhile, medicine is a lot less forgiving of wild goose chases, and requiring that the taking of risks is soundly justified seems pretty reasonable, as exciting as the idea of unrelenting research sounds.

The poor being poor is indeed a consequence of their preference to queue-up for handouts rather than do anything productive e.g. raise their own chickens.

The only real upside I see here is that, the more vertically and horizontally concentrated the private sector gets, the more absurd most arguments for privatized, profit-driven healthcare appear.

Basically every other developed country has shown that the government can do as good of a job at half the cost. Socialize it all.
In the United States, ripping the DVD's to a drive violates the DMCA.

While I don’t believe advanced home networking is a good indicator of software engineering skills, I’d at least hope you occasionally check for firmware updates/vulnerabilities and replace it if the manufacturer stopped supporting it. Consumer routers (especially from that era) aren't known for good security (drive-by pharming etc).

You contradict yourself st the end. If the organization can accept lower value features being deferred at the end, you never need a time estimate. Just a finish date.

In our case bogging down the entire team in time estimates would have wasted even more time and we would have accomplished even less. Had we kept to an agile process with sprints we could have met the fixed schedule expected, and delivered more benefits given that losing our leads in planning for weeks on end meant they contributed relatively little to the refactor.
I wouldn't compare it to the screw drive they use on injection molding. Those are for pushing pellets and melted plastic, not for pushing a rod (or strand) of continuous plastic.

This design uses threads on the outside of the filament [1] to grip it with a nut.

The main difference is that the design and manufacture of this system is extremely simple, contrary to what you've said. They use off the shelf 4-40 [2] taps and nuts to create a triangular thread. I would even go as far as to say this is _easier_ to manufacture than hobbed gears.

It has legal effect because it simply identifies that the individual items do not have the legally required labels for individual commercial sale of food items; that is, the “not for sale” label doesn't make them illegal to sell, the absence of legally required labeling does, the “not for sale” label just assured you can't complain that you weren't informed.

I'm not sure. I was arguing that if it's feasible, they probably would be doing it by now. My guess is either the UCC or walmart's contract with Disney prevents the breaking apart or reselling of bundled services.
Yeah, Language is a point, Unlikely will researchers from other countries publish their papers in Chinese. it create barriers from both sides, both foreign products go into Chinese market or the other way around. However, if China can successfully innovate some great product/models, in consumer sector, it's not a big problem, look at Japan's past successes.

It's not really decentralized as there's only one source of the gen0 assets.

You can't rightly say in either medicine or machine learning that the latter method is "better" than the former. You need the former to make progress past whatever local maximum your buckshot approach gets you. If you don't understand how it works, then eventually all the refinements lead to overfitting in machine learning and superstition in medicine.
Ohh, they just haven't released it to pypi yet.

Needs [2004] in the title
I'm unclear on how you can fix the price of a cryptocurrency. Saying how much you'll buy something back for doesn't set the price people will pay to buy it, because the issuer isn't the only player making the market—people can buy it from each-other, rather than from you, and they can pay whatever they like when they do so.

Look at US treasury bonds: the US can adjust the interest rate on them, but it's the market (dealers holding auctions, etc.) that actually sets the price of them. If everything else is a bad investment (like during the 2007 recession), people will actually buy the likely-negative-yield treasury bonds at a premium, because they need to stick the money somewhere and everything else looks to have a worse NPV. As such, the market value of any security can exceed the value of its call option.
It's actually just a standard 4-40 thread cut into the filament. They use rollers to prevent rotation of the thread when cutting the threads into the filament, and then when they actually use the nut it's got enough thread engagement that it's better than a hobbed gear. If you think about it, it's almost like a hobbed gear that attacks from all sides instead of one or two.

Feel free to ask me questions on it, I work in the industry and have spoken with one of the authors of the paper, it's a shame it's behind a paywall.
My Netgear WND4000 was updated to a build that makes it trivial to permanently lock yourself out of your router. In fact, it will nearly guaranteedly happen if you install their most recent firwmare update from a wireless client.

My Mikrotik and Netgear both regularly shut down when I max out my Internet connection. I've had days where I've had to manually restart them numerous times trying to push large docker images to AWS.

They both have spotty upnp implementations, which I need to work because there are game consoles in this apartment and upnp is necessary to get them online reliably. The Mikrotik's AP is pretty terrible. Doesn't even span a small 1BR in Seattle.

Netgear's models are notorious for being vulnerable to stupid exploits even after numerous hacky patchy series.

The most handwavey one: I find consumer routers just sorta need to be replaced every few years.

I spent less doing the whole Unifi thing recently than I've spent on routers and such in the last 6 years. I don't think I'll be needing to replace this gear any time soon, and Unifi isn't really custom hardware at all. They non-rack mount stuff is relatively affordable if you're willing to make a moderate investment.

It was sold as a comedy but never seemed to attempt it. It's a pretty direct Trek rip-off but HAS gotten significantly better since the first few episodes. Not part of the great television trend, just moved from 2/5 to 3/5 in approach and quality.
You have never had children, right? Or if you did, you had one and they’re still pre-toddler?

I know that some people had horrible parents that mistreated them and hence they ended up being very sensitive to any parental reprimand. That sucks.
None the less, kids need unconditional love, but they also need boundaries. Loving them means you sometime have to lay down the law. It’s not fun. It’s a hell of a lot easier to not do it.

I agree, but parenting is a hard job which society often doesn’t seem to value very highly.

In this community I’ve literary heard someone say “Machine learning is very important for the future of humanity, so I can’t spend time looking after my child”.

For me it’s all about investing time, and the long game. Looking after, being patent and educating a child for a couple of hours isn’t too hard. Doing that for 10s of hours every day, particularly with young children, is much harder.

It’s even harder when that work is systematically devalued.
Concerning your last paragraph, this article is from 2004, so technically we can examine the efficacy of this approach right now if it were utilized.
If you are a parent and are interested in this article, I highly recommend you go find another parenting method that actually provides any semblance of research, investigation, etc. This is nothing more than an anecdotal blog post about parenting, filled with agreeable-sounding ideas. Many of which seem to only pertain to handling children's learning, rather than overall parenting, but the author suggests them generally.

My two cents: children are not little adults and should not be treated as such. Adults have >20 years of life experience, children do not. Children do not know how to control emotions and are not reasonable (duh). There is substantial research into how children develop, including their brains and thought processes. For example, young children are not capable of abstract thought like adults are. This recent fad of treating children as equals is, to me, bizarre and damaging. Don't learn from a random blog post - go read the science (or a parenting book by someone who has). Anecdotally, children I encounter who are raised by this sort of method are rude, brittle know-it-alls who cannot accept being told 'no'.

My favorite parenting rule of thumb: teach your children now with rules and tough love because if you don't, the world will teach them later - and the world doesn't love your children.
Yes, absolutely. This is a cornerstone to a lot of p2p markets. You take a % of the cut and let money launderers buy and sell between themselves via your market.

For example, let’s say I want to sell x$ illegal goods. I just tell the buyer to bid up my 1 million virtual cat and I’ll transfer the goods to you. The transaction goes unnoticed. What’s even better, the buyer can sell the cat at a lost and recover some
Cash.

What’s more the money launderers buy and sell the virtual pets so as so mix up their money in the market.

There was a huge art deal recently. You have to wonder how much of the money laundering factored into the purchase of Salvator mundi.

It goes even further. Participants in the market know that money laundering is taking place and rely on it for profit. They bid up the virtual goods.

Of course, there is also a pyramid scheme / hot potato at play as well. Last one holding the bag loses.

And yeah, there are the naive folks whose out there with their money in not a understanding what’s really going on.

Valve profits from this quite nicely, and second life. Lots of these games with virtual goods.

Wal-Mart absolutely could do that, but the studios would probably stop selling bundled media directly to them. Wal-Mart is going to have a much harder time stocking their stores by buying from other retailers than Redbox has stocking kiosks by shopping at retailers.
Everything is wonderful when the kids are not in chaos mode. When you are with children and they are behaving it is easy to take them seriously. But find yourself in a situation that you don't even know how everything started and kids are just going nuts, then all the rules change.

At the end of the day you want to get them to go to non-chaos mode before you can apply any technique. What worked for me is creating a pattern very early on:

"I'm gonna count to 3 and we will do X" I've said that a thousand times since very early childhood. Now, before I even finish the sentence, the kids get in position and wait for "three!" After that we have a normal adult conversation, sometimes I even use words (like someone mentioned in the comments) that they have no hope of understanding. But they know that whatever they say they will be taken seriously.

So far it has worked for me with both my niece and nephew and I hope that they never find out that I have no backup plan if they don't stop on three.

In other words, you need create a pattern that leads to quiet mode before you can take the kids seriously.
