Whenever she talked, the crowd went "wow!" sort of like the laugh track on a 90's sitcom.

The crowd was 99.9% men. I'm a man too, and I will admit she is attractive. But what she demonstrated was nothing new, about the Tangle network which was discussed in the whitepaper, on youtube, bitcointalk, 4chan /biz/ and reddit.

Seeing IOT devices communicate by sending and receiving packets is nothing new or that exciting.

It was the same as if someone was showing you a bitcoin transaction. Literally, some tech babble, look at the pretty picture (girl in this example) and go wow.

When someone took a picture of her,a public figure of the IOTA team, other men with dates decided to white knight and tell the guy off "Don't take her picture." It almost escalated when one white knight went for his phone. Guy in question was taking pictures of presenters all night long yet no one complained.

I'm not an expert in any of these matters, but just witnessing the crowd reaction was really depressing as it goes to show Cryptocurrency is now mainstream (Good), alot of gender bias still exists (bad) and people do judge intelligence/authority on gender and age (double bad.)

Still the IOTA team is blah for lying about the MSFT partnership and the audience that night in which I was able to witness was double blah.
i know i shouldn't be, but i'm very excited.
I note the 'fins' at the top of the outside rockets are black, whereas on the middle one are white. Is that purely cosmetic?
It'll never replace your Macbook Pro as a professional developer, but it might very well allow people to create new things with computers without having to be a professional developer. In this way, compare Dynamicland to Excel or Lego Mindstorms - except that it might be more, in the same way that Excel allows people to solve business problems they never could've before, and Mindstorms allows people to create machines they never could've before.
Because it's not paying for a "bigger pipe." It's so they can degrade service and not upgrade infrastructure. It's so they can prioritize their services over competing ones on the pipe that you paid for. Imagine a hypothetical electric company changing their electric service to make it only function 100% of the time with appliances they sell or appliances from companies that pay kickbacks to the electrical company, while the rest of appliances you have currently will stop functioning reliably. Unless you pay for the electricity "fast lanes."
What is that reason? They enforce strict guidelines about using their logo and name that are incompatible with Debian policy?

Good lord they really needed a decent industrial design team on hand, though I guess no one's wearing this out in public, so good looks probably aren't as necessary. I'm just afraid of the image of people using this causing it to go the way of the Segway -- we all remember how Dean Kamen and team envisioned it revolutionizing intraurban transport, yeah?

Anyway, I'm glad to see something came of Magic Leap.
I am sorry but the scrolling on website is a bit annoying. For one, it wouldn't move until the images loaded and then mouse is constantly confused between zooming and scrolling up and down.
Whoa magic leap finally hatched. Buddhist philosophy and an obsession with the cgi computers from iron man - I've been mentally imagining how ar labels and menus looked over my real life for years! This is a dream come true

It is a combination of data.

> You can see a large collection of imagery in Google Earth, including satellite, aerial, 3D, and Street View images. Images are collected over time from providers and platforms. Images aren't in real time, so you won't see live changes.

I am sure they buy some data from a plethora of companies, such as Harris Geospatial(http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/)

Satellite Data
They bought and sold a satellite imagery company, renamed it Terra Bella and then it was acquired by Planet Labs.

> On April 14, 2017, we officially welcomed the Terra Bella team to Planet. Over the next year, our new team will work hard to make SkySat imagery available through the Planet platform. This will take a huge combined effort across our entire organization—from our mission operations and software teams to our product, marketing and sales teams.

The issue is more complex than just a bigger pipe.

As a site owner, you pay a service provider (or cloud hosting service or whatever) to offer you a certain amount of bandwidth to host your site.

The problem comes when other ISP's implement their fast lanes and traffic from your site doesn't get equal priority to traffic from another site who has paid that specific ISP to prioritise their traffic when serving their customers.

So you end up having to pay multiple ISP's to prioritise your traffic on their networks. Your site could appear slow even if you've paid your own service provider for a high bandwidth.
> It would also give FBI agents the power to decide whether or not to seek a warrant to read American communications collected under Section 702

Hoover would be so proud. This bill basically legitimizes the relentless surveillance apparatus of his era by allowing the FBI to use the NSA's haystack resources without a warrant.

Considering the way the FBI has acted in the last 100yr (big organizations can only change their operational culture so far so fast and government is particularly slow because the incentives discourage turnover), their mission and their jurisdiction I think this is very bad. There's no way this power can not be abused. Warrants are so trivially easy to get that the only reason to not get them for stuff like this is to do things that you can't justify asking for a warrant for.
> Microsoft could've adopted Bash but they went with Powershell instead.

Because Powershell is a better designed, more powerful, saner implementation of the original Unix philosophy of having small tools that do one thing well and combine easily to do complicated tasks. Bash and coretools are primitive bullshit by comparison.
Whoa! Hopefully they deliver after almost five (?) years of promises. I wonder if this has anything with the leak of the initial prototype (a huge backpack you have to wear). Maybe they were forced to release something substantial.

The grid fins on the outer cores are aluminium, the centre core is titanium. Newer Falcons will have titanium grid fins (the outer cores have already flown once before)

Edit. Looking closer I'm wrong - the titanium grid fins are on the side boosters and the the centre core is aluminium

Nice solidworks render. What about showing the real product?
Explanation: you have not even done a bare minimum of attention or research on a pivotal internet-freedom issue that has been slow-boiling over the past 3 months and you are still weighing in as if your opinion is informed (let alone intellectually significant) in any respect whatsoever. It's not like it's a real deep and multi-faceted issue or anything here, you just didn't bother to do even a bare minimum of research.

Maybe consider doing the google before weighing in on a major issue before demanding that it be spoon-fed to you.

This sort of post is actually subtly demeaning to everyone else on this forum and lowers the level of discussion here. Try to elevate it instead.
Yeah, I thought it was something like a holographic projection table.
So, we can sign up now, but they still haven't shown the tech to anyone without an extremely heavy NDA? I'll wait for Anandtech or similar outfit to put out at least a tweet about the viability of the technology.

I can highly recommend a visit to the Saturn V center[1] at Kennedy Space Center, where you can begin to truly appreciate the immense scale of the Saturn V rocket. I’ve been several times at this point and it still blows my mind just how huge that thing is. If you think of going, and have a flexible schedule, I can definitely recommend planning a trip to see a rocket launch on site. It’s a fantastic experience, but be prepared to come back several days in a row in that case, if they scrub the launch.

They've been very secretive in the past in showing actual results, only releasing simulations and videos that look real but aren't (fooling people into thinking they actually had something), and that makes me doubt anything they say they'll release until they show actual specs and actual videos of people using it, opinions on their experience, etc.

At least now they have release dates and supposedly that means they actually have something, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they have.

Apple , Why Is Your App Store Censoring the Apps of Small Organizations?
Their promotion videos certainly made it seem like that.
The port seems to be in a separate repo until it's considered stable. The development of the port is quite a bit behind and doesn't seem to be actively maintained. I guess no one wants it badly enough to maintain it themself until it's stable.
Yes, you are mad. :)

Magic leap has always been about wearing something - the've just deliberately never shown any of their devices in their videos.

The crazy thing is that I do not believe they have started monetizing maps yet.

Guessing, but it is likely for visibility.
Is thunderbird customizable ? How so ?

I've been looking for ways to prevent it from opening tabs all around as this change to tabbed UX was forced upon users and confuses most of the people I maintain TB for, even to this day years later.
It is either naive or cynical to insist that a giant unaccountable organization will or won't do anything in particular with respect to its core business.
Came here to say this. It shows the GOP doesn't really stand for anything. They just say what they need to say, in the moment, to get what they want.

If Clinton were POTUS and Russian ties like had been found to the Trump administration, she would have been impeached already. But it's their man, so let's look the other way. Same with State's rights.
In Helsinki Uber drivers ask you to sit in the front because they don't want to get stopped for operating an illegal taxi.
I'll second the other child comment and wish you good luck.

I'll also tell you to check out overleaf--it does most of this in a browser, so you have the collaborative aspect if you need it.
You are spot on here, not sure why you got downvoted.
Problem isn't browser on Android. You can install another like many others already said (I use Firefox + uBlock). The problem is that apps use Webview to embed. So you're going to need to use another option to block ads on Android in general:

1) Use DNS66 as another user said. Doesn't require root. (Does make a local VPN, so removes option to use a VPN.)

2) Use Pi-Hole on a Pi at home and make a VPN to it. Bonus: you get access to your home network (if you config it as such) and are secure over open WiFi and hostile 4G. Doesn't require root.

3) You can root your phone and use /etc/hosts or IPT

4) Firefox 58 will allow you to run tabs as "apps" which are pinned in the OS. If that takes off, that's going to result in a massive dent in paid apps from Google Play as well as ad revenue from Android.

As for this action by Google, its a charming move. Remember that time when Google was just new, and was only text ads on Google search engine?
Seriously. Looks like the cousin of an early 2000s Sony CD Walkman.
This would be great. Though, I don't think I'd use it in a café - I might be looking at a huge dump of data, but the person sitting behind where my "display" is might think I'm staring at them.
Good to know :). I won't worry too much about objective reality either then.
The grid fins on the side boosters are made from titanium (and are larger), while the center core's ones are made from aluminum with an ablative paint. The titanium grid fins have a better heat resistance.
Is there an actual difference between this "Mixed Reality" and AR, or are they just inventing a new term for marketing purposes?
This unveiling doesn’t commit to the shape of the product. It doesn’t describe technical details, like the processing power, number or spectrum of cameras, radios, anything. It doesn’t commit to a price range, like “under $1200”.

What’s unveiled?
Does it not depend on the area? I believe that not all street view cars had lidar capability.

Very cool app!
Looking at 1) the valuation of AirBnB/Uber 2) the amount of actual penalties the courts have meted out, it turns out "completely ignore a subset of laws" is a great way to riches
Gmaps is only better in the POI information even much more now as they created this gamification of adding information with Local Guides that they push heavily.

I pay 5$ for three months unlimited LTE data on my phone here in India. They throttle me if I consume more than 1GB in a day. But that's enough for me to not worry about auto playing videos. But I really hate the audio. My point is that you don't have to be rich to not have to worry about mobile data now.
This isn't very charitable. You should be happy that the GOP doesn't rotely apply their 'principles' even when it's idiotic to do so. Federal laws that create 'maximums' like this always come with preemption. Otherwise a different states are going to enact different versions of NN to score political points accomplishing one of two things: a rule that tries to simplify the regulatory environment will actually make it more complicated because now there's 50 separate policies, or ISPs will be forced to follow the rules of the state with the strictest rules which more-or-less invalidates the federal rule.
...and to me, your opinion is the polar opposite of everything I believe and quite different than the libertarianism tech grew up with.

Laws should always be challenged and dismantled whenever possible. The state should be minimized. That taxis were ever regulated is totally insane and their complete lack of customer service prior to Uber's existence is evidence of that.

You can turn your back on innovation and disruption but some of us will continue to fight for it. Regardless, you can't put the tech genie back in the bottle, so while people like you can make life more difficult for people like me, you can't actually stop technology from innovating.
Of course, but the coal is on a favourable tax regime and the nuclear plants won't be built without subsidy either. Hinkley Point C is guaranteed a price of £92.50/MWh regardless of the market rate.
Norway relies on a "restorative justice" system which aims to repair the harm caused by crime rather than punish people. Drugs are not that accessible, I speak from experience.
Drug addiction is not a crime, punishing an addict is.

Came here to say that, fellow Dane. You don't need to bypass regulations to provide a quality service.
Saying "According to the article" is not insinuating someone didn't read it. It's actually very close to "The article mentions that" which is the suggested phrase in your very quote.
They need more money. Magicleap looks like a typical dot com era borderline scam of the nineties: something is always right around the corner, if only there was more money...
yes, but there aren't any regulations regarding insider trading of currencies.
Do you have specific area in mind within the EU where the statement "regulation got regular cabs to the position" is based on?
At least it’s something. But a few renders of dodgy looking goggles and some fake Weta demos don’t instill much confidence until we see hardware in our hands.

> I can think of tons of ways to work around this if I thought it was a real issue, I don't. People who want to block analytics, trackers, ad networks, etc... know how, and this doesn't feel like it is targeted at those people, or even squarely at the tracking pixels.

A slow and shitty experience using the web shouldn't be the accepted baseline.

People who know how to block spyware can't block everything. There is a lot that causes the page to hang if not blocked in a certain way, provided that certain way is available via some kind of tooling.
In case you are wondering about the fuel, the centre core throttles back as much as it can shortly after liftoff and then throttles up again after the two side boosters separate.
Let's just hope that the clunky scroll site is not indicative of their overall regard for usability.

So, something that easily fits into RAM, One might even keep a copy of the whole dataset in GPU memory to avoid copying to and from even if matrix operations are done on smaller batches.

E.g. ImageNet is 50 gb of compressed data, and there are many much larger datasets in practical use.
Yup, I don't hold your opinion so I am uninformed. Asked for your POV, but I'm too dumb to even attempt to explain it to. Must revert to personal slights and putdowns. Ahhhh, politics in 2017.
but according to Uber they're already complying with transportation services regulations anyway

That's true in Switzerland. That's why Uber Pop was essentially shut down in Basel, Zurich and now Geneva.

Of course Uber PR spun this with yet some more cringeworthy fluff.

By the way, the web-sites of users who contribute their Postman API collections will be visible on the API collection page and will get significant traction :)
This is especially relevant in tech. I feel a lot of language hype and framework churn is due to this obsession with whatever is newest and most shiny.
Yes, those fast lanes are called PNIs between content providers and eyeball networks. They have been in existence since the time Excite@Home went to the exchanges.
That is objectively false. Degrading the "slow" lanes is only one way to produce a fast lane. Direct peering arrangements and co-location of services are two ways to create "fast" lanes without having to degrade anything. They are also not free, so it makes sense that business-to-business deals would be made to establish them (aka paid fast lanes).

The effective bandwidth of the internet looks like an hour glass. As things fan out to individual users you may have capacity for 100+mbps but no way to consume it because upstream there is a bottleneck. In many cases that bottleneck exists at the edge of an ISP or farther upstream of it. Direct peering increases the capacity of the ISP's "edge" but only for the services available on the peer. Co-location puts those services on the internal side of the bottleneck, again increasing effective capacity, but only for the services that are co-located in the ISPs datacenters. Almost all major providers (google, akamai, netflix, facebook) offer some form of co-locatable server however, those cost money to deploy and maintain.
This is rough. I've run into a lot of people who have been locked out of their accounts, with the same kind of vague "specialist working on it" message being copy pasted over and over into support message. Hopefully I can contact someone under the valid pretext of asking about "all of us." It's concerning.
Many comments are bitterly unfair against ABP. Wladimir/Eyeo changed how we use the web, gave us means to fight back against abusive advertising. They built a business model to make the extension sustainable and find a strategy to legitimate themselves, fight in the courts, etc. Not to mention that ABP never tried to close the market. Alternatives were easy to build thanks to EasyList.

Today there are many alternatives to ABP. I am extremely grateful for his work. He's going on a well deserved vacation. I wish him success in his future projects.

(In case anyone wonders, I am not affiliated. Just a happy user of ABP.)
> Is it though? Why don’t you see consumers or some other group besides the local taxi interest taking them to court?

Probably because they often _don't_ need to take them to court. They clarify existing or pass new laws to make the definition of a taxi clearer, or explicitly include "Ridesharing". Also elsewhere Uber has been spending lots of money lobbying government and voters to persuade them to dodge it.

It's all utter bullshit. Uber is a Taxi company. You know it, I know it. That they've managed to persuade government to look the other way while they flaunt important safety regulations has been utterly ludicrous.

I suspect they only got away with it _because_ Taxi unions have been too powerful, and everyone generally hates taking Taxis.
I just thought it was snake oil
