It's nice but a Samsung FullHD 24" PLS (Samsungs IPS) cost about 130 euro's nowadays. The DPI is to cry about but it beats working on < 14" any day for me.

Maybe this solution is nice and useful because you can take it with you together with the keyboard and trackpad and get a reasonable working posture anywhere?

Would you agree that using electronic devices to "download Shakespeare" is highly unusual in primary school, and that most kids just use their phones to play games/watch YouTube and other distractions?
As far as I personally understand, net neutrality is mostly about disconnect between content and src/dst - under perfect net neutrality only source and destination should matter for packet delivery. Does not matter whether this is a last mile connection or tier 1 intercontinent connection. I personally believe that DNS/IP site blocking is against net neutrality. Net neutrality, common carrier, DMCA safe harbour and similar are based on similar non-discrimination provisions.

All analogies I can think of are a bit leaky, but the closest to my mind is package shipping. Under perfect net neutrality, a resident purchases two mailboxes from last mile provider (ISP) under certain fee. Last mile provider commits to emptying outbound box and filling inbound box two times a day. If everything destined to resident does not fit into mailbox - packages will be redelivered at next scheduled delivery. Obviously resident can only send as much packages at a time as they can fit to the mailbox (connection speed). Last mile provider commits to delivering wherever the packages are destined to be delivered even if the package smells of dead dead bodies and make geiger counter scream. If they have to hand off packages to peers - that is their problem and their expenses. Continuing this analogy, FCC's plan is to allow shipping companies to make clients submit unpackaged parcels (meaning subcontractors can open packages and inspect contents and both last mile carrier and original sender) at packaging station where company can inspect the parcel, source, destination and charge/queue packages differently based on these criteria. Some practical consequences of that could be for example shipping time dependency on retailer/product. You could get a WD drive from Amazon in a day, but Seagate drive in a week. The same company could ship Seagates from Wallmart in a day, but WDs in a week. As a customer you could have no idea.

Net neutrality, on the other hand, does not allow to deliver packages from you to your neighbor (which is obviously cheaper) at reduced price. If your neighbors constantly fill their outbound mailboxes to the extent that pickup truck has to ride back to distribution center, come back to to your street and resume collection, net neutrality does not allow pickup truck to skip packages to pick your once in a month package for faster delivery. If the package is too big to fit into mailbox it has to be split into smaller packages and assembled by recipient. If you received your large machine critical to your business in small pieces over a month, assembled and are only waiting for batteries to arrive, net neutrality does not allow to ship your batteries under higher priority than hair tie to your neighbor who has moved out a week ago.

The post-quantum algorithms haven't been around very long and as a result don't have the same level of confidence. Most post-quantum implementations that are in or nearing production use both existing methods (e.g. DH) and a post-quantum counterpart (e.g. New Hope) and combine them in a way that requires both to fail for there to be an issue (e.g. XORing the produced secrets together).

Don't bother with repeaters. Get normal access points, and install several of them if you need to disperse the range around a large area/building/complex. If the SSID and security passphrases match, clients will roam seamlessly between the different APs. I suspect the reason people buy repeaters is that they don't realise that this is possible, or they don't want additional cabling.

Repeaters add latency and I can't imagine any network engineer would ever recommend one.
In addition protobuf is designed for communications, not incremental updates in a local store. As such making things robust to store things on a development machine is non-trivial. SQLite is so much better for that. After Firefox switched to use it for its own history, most problems with history corruption disappeared.
Yes, base has nothing to do with anything, talking about "qubits" is just a convention since computation is usually thought of in terms of bits. The fundamental idea of a quantum computer though has nothing to do with binary in particular. Same as for classical computers.

It's not clear to me why you claim this would be related to efficient machine code, though.

Generally, people would prefer that they have this control, not that the ISP has this control for them and does what the ISP wants.
The mailing lists mention LEDE will merge back to the OpenWRT branding, but that was months ago, and the OpenWRT site is funky.
Well you’re normal WAP needs to be connected to the network itself somehow. A repeater does it wirelessly, while a normal WAP may not even have that option.
I have a similar setup, without the switch and the Unifi APs are just excellent. Smooth setup, great range.

So, if you can run a cable, I second Unifi.

Op, if you can not run a cable, maybe look into a mesh network. Repeaters "loose" about half of the bandwidth anyway, a mesh might be good alternative.

If you want to set up an open source enviroment, there is libremesh (http://libremesh.org).

If you just want to buy something, there are products from Netgear (orbi), Linksys (Velo) or Ubiquiti (Amplifi). If you have a Fritz!Box-setup from AVM, you might be able to use their mesh features (site in German, because if you have a FritzBox, you probably speak German ;) https://avm.de/mesh/)
Need Help with Docker Implementation in MS Azure
Hello guys,

I need your assistance with Docker. I currently have two Azure VMs (both Ubuntu 16.04) for Zabbix (Enterprise server monitoring) and Snipe-IT (Asset Management). Now the requirement is to replace these two machines with Docker.

How would you implement this? It should run in Azure. Would you make a VM and run two containers (Zabbix and Snipe-IT) and a container for MySQL? Or would you implement it via Docker CE for Azure?

Where are the differences and what is the most cost effective in the end? A swarm is not desired, it should not be too mega complicated.

I look forward to your suggestions.
I agree with you in general, but I guess it's a matter of pragmatism and establishing social norms. Here in Austria the newly elected right wing government is going to cancel plans of banning smoking completely in restaurants (up till now there was a solution that involved having a separate smoking area if your premises exceeded a certain dimension). I'm not for a smoking ban, because I think it's too much of an intrusion into personal live style choices. But most people I know see the overturn of the smoking ban as a big step backwards, and I've kind of softened my position, because the beneficial effects on general health would probably be significant and maybe society would profit so much from getting rid of smoking cigarettes as a pastime, that the intervention would be justified.

Regarding your comment on the trouble you'd get in when breaking the rules as a young pupil: I think the authority of teachers (even here in Europe, but I could imagine even more so in the USA) has diminished a lot in recent years. I see this as problematic, but I think it's a good alternative to the disproportionally great authority that teachers used to have over their students just a few decades ago.
Rocket Labs (a US/NZ company) just had a last-second launch abort.
I think they must specify they banned smart mobile phones OR mobile phones

By reading all comments I think problem is in smart mobile phones. which have extra features for user entertainment which also act as distraction (for student during study)

Before coming to any decision we should not forgot that phone can also use as medium of communication with our guardian in emergency and emergency is something we could not predict.
The problem that Bitcoin relies on being hard (with regards to the proof of work, not addresses) is different from the one e.g. the standard PKI relies on being hard. It's not very likely the hashes would be broken by an advance in quantum computing; there are some sub-exponential speed ups that have been explored but nothing that would break the blockchain. It would be more akin to the movement from GPUs to ASICs.

Why would Coinbase issue 1099s? And on what basis? Keep in mind it holds custodian funds in a wallet service, like a bank account. If I deposit 1 BTC when it is worth $5,000, does Coinbase report that as $5,000 of income on my 1099? I hope not! What if I withdraw that same 1 BTC when it is worth $16,500, should Coinbase tell the IRS I made $11,500 in gains? But I didn't sell anything! I just moved something I already owned from one place to another. That's not a taxable event.

If I use my bank to transfer you money, the bank isn't responsible for filing a 1099 to report that income to you; I am. Using coinbase to transfer funds to you should be handled the same, and Coinbase is a wallet and merchant service as much as it is an exchange.

Now selling coins is always a taxable event. But when properly using an exchange, the coins should not be kept "on account." So ideally, every bitcoin sold was transferred into Coinbase/GDAX prior to the sale. How does Coinbase know the cost basis to report? It doesn't. Not unless that information is freely provided by the user, in which case it is fully unverifiable and the user would be free to put whatever the heck they want. Should Coinbase be required to file 100% self-reported tax information from its users without any way to verify the authenticity of that reported cost basis and time held?

Maybe for VueJS's smaller size. As for React or Vue, VueJS is simpler, easier to learn, compatible with web components, comes with default router and Vuex redux style store from the core team. So this avoid lots of learning time by new user as to which router to choose, should I learn redux or mobx etc. Typical React/Redux app is full of biolerplate, where VueX is hiding them. VueX also specify a default way of dealing with async, where's in Redux you have many options that could be confusing to new user. There is also bulitin html animation/transition support. Also web dev tools for Chrome and Firefox are from core team.

Norwegian living in Switzerland here. Taxes vary from canton to canto but are much lower than both Sweden and Norway in general, you will be better off financially in Switzerland.

I will probably move back to Norway at some point though. The main reason being that you get a year parental leave in Norway but only 1 day in Switzerland. There is also the improved social security net, more focus on work/life balance and better equality between the sexes.
This is much better nowadays but bgp is still problematic.
This isn't that terrifying guardrail-free road, though -- I drive this in a Model S ~15-20 times in each direction every winter on my way between Seattle and Whistler.

Autopilot is fantastic for that trip between UW and turning onto CA1 where BC99 intersects it. From there up to Lions Bay and from the far side of Lions Bay[0] to Squamish I keep the car in self drive after a few too many attempted suicides by Eddie[1]. It's not that there aren't guard rails, it's just that it really winds about as it hugs the cliff face. For most of that trip Autopilot generally doesn't want to engage -- it knows better when it can't predict the lane boundary far enough into the future. Past Squamish it really depends on conditions. My trip up this Saturday morning was downright boring and autopilot handled the whole thing. On other trips at night the road has essentially been one solid white surface where even humans avoid each other by treating it as one very wide lane in each direction and maintaining lots of clearance.

[0]: Lions Bay has a 60kph speed limit; autopilot can generally handle it fine, regardless of conditions, although the wide variance in prevailing traffic speed makes this among the most dangerous parts of the trip. I often wonder how the accident and injury statistics for Lions Bay compare to the rest of Sea to Sky.

My mentally ill, currently homeless in Orange County, brother-in-law would rather be homeless than live somewhere that isn't of his choosing (which is why he's homeless to begin with -- he's more than welcome to stay with us in our home, again, provided he follows some very simple rules, but he refuses to play ball with any solution that isn't his own).

The fact of the matter is that he and folks like him are adults who are responsible for themselves. Many of them are actively choosing this lifestyle. They are choosing not to acknowledge and address their illnesses. And there's not much that anyone can honestly or earnestly do about that in our society, as long as they don't break the right laws (I'm referring to the fact that, for him, a 5150 is, sadly, _always_ the start of a better period in his life for some time).

Your comment confused me at first, because it didn't even occur to me that people would use this stand to correct their posture when working with the laptop on a desk.

I am going to call that wasteful. A for loop has the ability to do most of these things with ONE iteration over a list or array.

Using map/reduce/filter means iterating over each subsequent list, making what could be an O(n) algorithm a lot slower.

I understand the quest for clarity, but one has to consider each case.
Compressing is indeed a hot topic, but I do feel like this article (the one on arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.05162 ) has some major shortcomings. First off, the datasets used (spiral and MNIST) are simple and small. They can be used as illustration, but should be avoided for benchmarking. Secondly, despite it being a hot topic, the authors did not compare with other algorithms. Thirdly, they have a 2 hidden dense layer network with over a million parameters for mnist, of course you can prune 95% of those parameters. You could probably have achieved the same result by simply training with 5% of the weights. Finally, there seems to be no approach for convolution layers?

In network pruning, my experience is that simple heuristics sometimes outperform hard math approaches. Also different problems can have wildly different approaches which work best. A good approach on one problem and one network can be very bad on a slightly different network. In this sense, it is sad that LeNet is usually used for benchmarking as the results typically dont generalize well.

Garbage Essay
Garbage Essay

College is one of the areas in a human environment that experiences a good disposal environment. In college, the common garbage seen is the wrappings of fast food, chips wastes, soft drink cans, and other foodstuff waste products. Most people in college are lazy and don’t like cooking. Since they believe that they are busy even at times when they aren’t busy, people in college prefer fast food in order to save time. It is difficult to find most students taking cooking activities even when they are not busy.
Another type of garbage found in a college environment is writing materials. Students use writing materials such as writing pads, foolscaps, pens, and other writing materials. When they are done with these writing materials, they dispose of and purchase new that will help them in their coursework. In most college dustbins and litter bins, it is common to get writing material wastes from old materials that students are through using.
Current students are living in a technology world. Technology is highly used by students and things such as CD cassettes, radios, computers, and other technology devices are used in a college environment. Students are part of technology development thus when technology is growing, students purchase new technology equipments frequently. In a college environment, some of the garbage found on waste environment is technology devices that are old. When new technology comes, students mostly are the first people to switch to the new technology. The culture around a college environment is made of people from a rich background. They are also people who are interested to know about technology thus they grow and advance the way technology is growing.

Because with traditional custodial assets there is a system in which there are verifiable records of ownership from which cost basis can be extracted, and a method for porting this information from custodian to custodian when assets are moved between brokerages. None of that exists for bitcoin, rather by design, as bitcoin resembles more of a bearer instrument than a traditional asset. Except in the simplest case where you buy coins from a single exchange, leave them on that exchange for the entire time you hold them (against all best practices), and then sell on that same exchange, there is absolutely no way for the exchange to know what your cost basis was, whether it was short term or long term capital gains, etc.

I had a flip phone with no internet in HS, I played minesweeper on it about half a day everyday at school. It was the only way I had of staying awake during some of my classes. I literally fell asleep during class if I didn't have some stimulation. Not having that would've been a torture since falling asleep is a good way to get in trouble.

Before I had my phone I drew. About 90% of my ink expenditure in school was drawings.

Hi, Concertmaster developer here.

Thanks for trying the app. Very surprised by the repercussion!

Well, the current version of Concertmaster has a known bug which freezes the app in its first run. (This issue will be solved in a major update January, but I’m seriously thinking of releasing a fix today or tomorrow.)

Please try closing the app and running it again. It may work
Appreciate it! Fixed in next build!
I don't disagree with this, but if true, then it means that the value of cryptocurrency comes at the expense of other currencies. Every time someone in china sells their renminbi to buy bitcoin, bitcoin's value increases while the value of renminbi decreases. If that is the case, then bitcoin does indeed have value, and will reflect the differential of the cost of renminbi vis-a-vis its value on the world market.
