Summary: Two monkeys were able to learn to perform specific movements in response to microelectrode stimulation at corresponding (arbitrarily chosen) loci in the premotor cortex. The stimulation was too low to directly drive muscle movements.

The brain can learn to recognize signals from cochlear implants and other neuroprosthetics, and this study shows that monkeys can also learn to recognize signals from deeper implants. Note that previous studies have suggested that the premotor cortex has a role in associating stimuli and movements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premotor_cortex#PMDr(F7)

The researchers speculate that the stimulation "may have evoked somatosensory and/or visual percepts, desires to move particular body parts, or other internal urges or thoughts, any of which the monkeys could have used as instructions".

5 Technologies That Technology Driven Startups Must Adopt Today
OP must mean GPG or something like that (where users control their own keys), but there is nothing to stop the government from holding you to demand your private key and the passphrase you use to unlock it.

The only real answer is to avoid using the internet for any meaningful political or community dialogue if you live in an authoritarian state that might use that dialogue against you. That is a truly depressing thought.
I care. I use Firefox for all my browsing now. Haven't come across anything it can't do. The extensions actually seem better and more diverse than chrome. I actually prefer the UI to chrome also.

The entire market cap of Tether is a small fraction of the daily volume of BTC. If 100% of Tether was traded for BTC, it would just be a blip on a single day's pricing.
I heard the NSA can secretly reenable it even on switched off machines via mind control.
Thanks, this is about general markets however. I've been trading BTC since 2011.

Doesn't matter if it's tulip bulbs, baseball cards, bitcoins, houses, or dotcom companies, markets operate on similar principles and talking about the market dynamics doesn't say anything about the asset in question. Cryptocurrency is a viable means of exchange and the technology is great and all but that doesn't change the rules or mechanics of the marketplace. It isn't magic.
Speaking of which, does anybody know how to turn off tabs in firefox, and make it instead open a new window when it would like to open a new tab? My WM already has tabs.

Sure, but we're supposed to be creating a tax cut, not a tax hike. If you want to raise taxes to either reduce the deficit or create new government services that's fine by me. But instead this tax cut will go to cutting the taxes of the wealthy and increase the budget deficit. This will be paid for by states like NY and CA and won't help the tax system become more progressive.
Speaking of terminals, I personally find that a combination of panes (i.e. arbitrarily nested horizontal + vertical splits) and tabs is really the best of both worlds.

Tile Tabs [0] was an extension that used to enable this kind of workflow for Firefox, but with the WebExtensions transition I thought it'd be no longer available, but it looks like I was wrong. There's a Tile Tabs WE extension [1] now, that attempts to replicate the same experience using windows, but it's not quite the same in terms of usability and space efficiency, and makes it mostly pointless if you have a decent tiled window manager that can accomplish the same layouts (which is what I have generally defaulted to ever since losing Tile Tabs).

This and vertical tabs are the kinds of features that I wish were built into the core of browsers because it needs a lot of UX attention to really shine. While I'm glad vertical tabs seems to be getting first-class treatment from WebExtensions, it's a shame that panes-based workflows appears to be getting shafted.

It doesn't invalidate Waymo's whole case, just Waymo's infringement claims against patent 936. Now the case is only about trade secrets.

I'm not seeing what it is about the article that makes it a hit piece. Mark Harris, the guy who wrote it has been covering Uber, Waymo, and self driving cars for years. He's always digging up weird stuff like this. When Apple's project Titan was rumours and hearsay it was Mark Harris out there digging up tangible evidence about what was going on. Harris is pretty good at his job.

He can only report on Swildon's stated reasons for going to all the trouble he did, and Harris can't actually prove that Swildon's efforts were the real reason Waymo withdrew it's infringement claim, only that it seems that way.

> DC's been on a building spree and rents have stabilized, maybe even decreased a bit.

You can obviously offset something that raises rents by doing something that lowers rents, but then you're only depriving yourself of the benefits you would have had from actually lowering rents (or lowering them more) instead of having the benefit canceled out. And it still screws over anyone who still can't afford to live in the city.

> new housing and jobs are placed too far away from Metro

It's probably also that new housing and jobs are placed too far away from each other.

> dedicated bus lanes

Bus lanes are crazy. It's impossible for them to cause congestion relief because the instant they actually did the bus lane would no longer confer any advantage to the bus and any incentive it provided not to drive would evaporate. So it's logically impossible for them to actually solve the problem, but they can easily make it worse by wasting road capacity when the reason people don't take the bus isn't just congestion, e.g. if the bus doesn't go where they need it to.

> If we tolled every car coming into DC (NYC and SF have tolls on their bridges and tunnels), that could be a nice funding stream for mass transit projects; but we can't simply because of Congress.

Tolls are popular with some cities because it's effectively taxation without representation. The city gets to collect money from people who live in neighboring cities and states, who don't get a vote on whether there should be a toll there. This is not commendable behavior.

And there is no magic. One way or another the citizens have to pay for the infrastructure. It's not like tolls can cost them less money than to pay for it with normal taxes. For most people it will cost them more, because tolls are incredibly regressive. Even more regressive than flat taxes. And on top of that you have to pay the overhead cost to collect the tolls.

Build housing and eliminate rules that prevent it from being built, and build infrastructure and pay for it with normal taxes. Don't make driving worse, make the alternatives better.

Point taken. I cant help but build my morals into my assumptions, so I assume we are not talking about doing things on individuals against their will. You kinda pointed at that possibility and I appreciate it.

This (what GP and this story is about) is voluntary. Like letting a primitive android into your house so you can order pizza, or carrying around a sophisticated connected computer that informs you. The next step is always tighter integration. Pretending that an ethical review board is going to prevent "closed source humans" is not going to work.

People understanding it is the only way I can see to prevent it (it's already the status quo). I'm honestly looking for suggestions.

> Build local, sell global. This is the ideal. Hire the local talent (keeps government people happy) but sell into the big market.

Yes. But if you're selling components (pretty rare TBH, most sell a service provided via a web page, or maybe a desktop or mobile app), you have to pay "royalty" tax to the IRS. Only about 5% IIRC under the us-aust tax treaty, and you're not double-taxed by the ATO - but it's paperwork, complex, and a little scary. Being subject to one jurisdiction's set of tax legislation is bad enough....

> How?

Because you're repeatedly showing profound ignorance on very basic aspects of using a programming language.

> Has C++ eliminated undefined behaviour recently?

You are aware that you're parroting on and on about an entirely irrelevant issue, don't you? I mean, any behaviour which has been left undefined in the international standard only means that there is a chance that two implementations may not implement the same obscure aspect exactly alike. And that's perfectly fine because these obscure corner cases shouldn't be used to begin with. That's what undefined behaviour does mean in practice.

But even if you for some obscure and irrational reason care enough to rely on behaviour left undefined then you also go another standard approach: adopt a specific implementation and check how the behavior was implemented.

Additionally, rust and go and python and other programming languages are not defined at all and somehow programmers don't get bothered by the fact that these programming languages are entirely undefined. But somehow you feel differently about a language you clearly know nothing about.

Exactly how many people involved in a scheme during the early 1960’s would still be “on the scene today”? If one of the coauthors of the plan was a 20 year old intern who had a long government career, that person would be 75 today. “Many of the people” involved seems unlikely.

I actually agree with your point of view, too. It is getting easier to learn languages and the number of resources only grow.

There are two simultaneous trends. On the one hand the number of people who expect people everywhere to accommodate them in English is increasing. Their ability to remain in an English bubble is stronger than ever, thanks to Netflix, Google Maps, Spotify and online news sites. On the other hand, those who are motivated to learn are making more progress than ever before and they can get very, very far before moving abroad.

We have the same trend with computer literacy. There is a generation of people who have grown up with impenetrable walled garden mobile devices and would be completely lost on a command line. There's also a subset of that generation who has learned more about computing through MOOCs, Github and YouTube than their parents learned over decades of practice that early PCs essentially forced upon users.
Why is that? Except for Kanji, Japanese doesn't look like a difficult language because it doesn't have genders and inflections.

I think the explanation is really simple. A couple of months back numerous non-technical acquaintances began expressing interest in Bitcoin with a number of them going on to purchase it -- completely independent of one another. I doubt my anecdote is particularly unique. There seems to have been a huge influx of "dumb money" on the heels of an exponential increase in media coverage.

There is the possibility that I'm reversing causality here. In other words that the media coverage increased following the increases in bitcoin, rather than the opposite as I'm suggesting. But Google Trends along with the price graph seem to support my suggested causality:

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=bitcoin

https://www.coindesk.com/price/

This just seems to be a huge influx of dumb money. If this is true, it's going to lead to some interesting near future volatility. These sort of investors are going to be more inclined to jump ship at what would normally be the tail end of swings. They will see it as 'the crash', race to get out, and create a self fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps offering a great time for investment for anybody who can accurately determine when the double dip decline is bottoming out before a return to normalcy.

It's not a "tax loophole". A foundation certified to spend money for altruistic goals is exempt from taxes like any other non-profit.

What I'm speculating about specifically is whether there is any political issues around the charities or causes that Newman's Own supports. There could be more to the story than just an arbitrary rule enforcement.
It seems like it would be best for the foundation to sell Newman's and use the proceeds to create an endowment. They could use investment gains from the endowment over time to find their charitable mission, and it would also be good because their assets wouldn't be so concentrated in the food business, which is hyper competitive and pretty low margin.

IMO its origins in the gaming community, and all the moderation features that grew out of it, make Discord a much better fit for open source communities than Slack. For example:

- Individuals can block and report other users

- There are tiered mod levels

- Per-community pseudonyms, but a single account makes it easier to track bad actors

Markdown support, including syntax highlighting, is actually better in Discord than Slack already, too.

Pretty much all of the money in Bitcoin was dumb from the get-go. These weren't economists figuring out that something was under-valued or the system could be gamed. It was people gambling back then and that's what's continuing to happen.

Like you, I noticed an increasing amount of fairly oblivious people talking about Bitcoin a while ago in our office and that's the most certain marker of an impending crash, but in terms of there being smart money outside of huge investors in the earlier days of Bitcoin I disagree. Developers that like to gamble are not smart investors.
It won't be done in the US because they're going to use China as a model for a new world government and that can't happen until we're gone.

While the US will always be dominant, there are some advantages for Australian Tech companies to take advantage of:

Cheaper tech teams with less competition. Australia has a lot of talent in the software space, but without the eye watering wage bills. Even in the most expensive cities of Sydney and Melbourne, software developers generally cost a lot less than in the Bay Area. You can get even better value if you can build your team outside of Sydney/Melbourne.

You can build more slowly, there is alot less pressure to build grow fast and fail type startups. While venture capital heavy startups are the most celebrated in the press, there are plenty of great smaller scale self/revenue funded startups that can build up over time. Most of our celebrated tech successes built their business models over a long time and focused on building a good business first.

There are also great incentives to keep the development team in Australia. As a pre revenue startup you can get over 43.5% of your development cost back through the R&D Tax Incentive. While its a tax incentive, the way that they designed it was to provide tax refunds to loss making companies. Plus there are other great grants/incentives you can also take advantage of. (disclaimer: I'm a consultant for software startups/companies in this area)

The best course of action is to take a global approach, don't limit yourself to selling or developing in only one location.
