Yes, but it's all rather academic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality

"Augmented virtuality (AV), is a subcategory of mixed reality which refers to the merging of real world objects into virtual worlds.[15]
As an intermediate case in the virtuality continuum, it refers to predominantly virtual spaces, where physical elements, e.g. physical objects or people, are dynamically integrated into, and can interact with, the virtual world in real time. This integration is achieved with the use of various techniques. Often streaming video from physical spaces (e.g., via webcam)[16] or using 3-dimensional digitalisation of physical objects.[17]"

Train rides <= 3 hours are also often faster than the related flight when you account for airports usually beeing more far out of the city and all the time you waste within the airport. Also if you connect 2 cities without major airport (which would lead to having to change plane) i found this rule to be true for 7+ hours train rides as well.

I do the same thing too, blocking all 3rd-party junk using uBlock Origin. As one specific example, I've had to let motortrendondemand.com fire off Omniture, because apparently their video player (through Kaltura) depends on it.

It's just lazy design, or possibly malicious, I'm not sure.
Here [0] is the actual text (i.e. hosted directly by congress.gov) which arstechnica was so thoughtful to not link to.

>“(2) may not impair or degrade lawful internet traffic on the basis of internet content, application, or service, or use of a non-harmful device, subject to reasonable network management.

Seems like what NN proponents want, isn't it?

>“(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraph (2), nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the ability of broadband internet access service providers to offer specialized services.

>“(2) PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN PRACTICES.—Specialized services may not be offered or provided in ways that threaten the meaningful availability of broadband internet access service or that have been devised or promoted in a manner designed to evade the purposes of this section.

Ah those might be a problem...

I would say there is if the job doesn't involve any algorithms. You are testing for the wrong skills.
> Yet I can't find any way of experimenting with this system myself.

Given that it's a physical space... you go to the physical space. You can pick up the source code for the entire thing there - it's self-hosting, so you can read it like any other object in Dynamicland. You can also copy it physically, using a scanner.[0] Actually finding a suitable physical space and building a community might be the the hardest part of replicating it.

It's also a very early project - the first Dynamicland space opens next year. I'm sure we'll learn more about it, but the entire point of it is that it's not online - it's a physical space and a community meeting in real life, and if you want to learn about it and maybe try to replicate it, you'll have to go there.

Except from searching for addresses I find that OpenStreetMap offers a vastly better data source, nicer rendering and far superior routing capabilities.

This come from an admittedly from the PoV of not using a smartphone with google service, so it's either fully offline maps or online vector maps in the open source, well supported OsmAnd app or using the sluggish google maps website. Also I'm in Germany which has by far the best OSM map quality I have seen so far. And I almost exclusively cycle everywhere and every time I tried using google maps It sent me through some 2km cobblestone road 5 min after starting.

But I still find the Mapnik default rendering style very pleasant to look at.

As an additional benefit I can just fix OSM error on the fly, on my Phone, whether I'm online or offline and queue the update for later. There is really no competition here...

Edit: I forgot one of my main criticism of google maps. I mainly stopped using it in the webbrowser because it was getting sooooo slow. openstreetmap.org loads almost instantly.
Sounds like getting acquired by a privacy focused browser makes them even more reliable now.

> * Package managers are a much more efficient way to download and install software than any way I have seen on Windows.

Package managers are probably my second least favorite thing about using Linux as a desktop (the Linux Desktop community would be the first by a wide margin). Package managers, as implemented, are a horrible mechanism for software installation. They have all the problems of walled garden app stores, shared namespaces, and the registry. Ever see a package manager database get corrupted? Good luck ever fixing that. Want to install two different versions of the same application? Too bad, unless they're different enough that the repo maintainers decided they were separate software (only python 2/3 comes to mind). How about installing software to a different path? Nope, sorry. Good luck with make install.

There are even Linux developers sane enough to realize that this is silly, which is why you have things like AppImage. Not that more than a handful of applications are distributed that way, because Linux people quite often mistake tradition for wisdom. Oh, and the little problem of Linux not having a defined base system you can rely on.

Installers/uninstallers aren't any better, but they're only worse in different ways. That's why there's Portable Apps.

Definitely a negative thing for LTC. And a double plus for Bitcoin cash. The other positive, of course, being of Coinbase now supporting it.
In the past few days and weeks, LTC was increasingly being seen as a Bitcoin's currency complement. This is a game changer. No words(the OP post) are strong enough replacement of actual skin in the game.

If Satoshi's coins move, all of a sudden, it will be a big downer for Bitcoin, this is no different. Instead it may have helped had he declared something like he won't sell it for next n years. That would have shown real skin in the game.

Well, precisely. And what value is added by massive resources devoted to convincing people to to drink one of two nearly identical products? How much effort might be saved if two nearly identical bottling & distribution systems could instead collaborate and reduce the waste incurred?

By stating "collaborate on X so that we can focus or compete on Y" merely adds one more turtle to to the the stack. You need to take a step back and ask these sorts of questions:

Does competition solve any problems that cooperation does not, or solve them better?

Do problems arise in competition that would not under cooperation?

Is there a 3rd alternative?

What about competition that pursues what's best for everyone, even if it is worse for the individual company pursuing it? (arguably not possible when corporate officers have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the company, which presents a conflict)

Amazon Puzzles Over the Perfect Fit–in Boxes
I struggle to estimate any dev work beyond a few weeks, so I wonder if some of these estimates may be wishful thinking too - maybe the Manas.Tech folks have a good sense of the theory behind the work that’s left though, in which case it’s only (“only”) a matter of implementing it.

Check out the Kennedy Space Center website, they always post viewing options in advance. Typically the most intense viewing experience (i.e. the closest, the LC39 viewing gantry for instance) will be of limited quantity, but you can also just watch from the KSC visitor complex although in that case you won’t be able to see the rocket on the launch pad, only once it’s airborne.

I can highly recommend going. I saw a launch in January, from the LC39 gantry, and it was truly stunning. Be prepared to go several days in a row though, in case of scrubbed launches. You’ll need to buy a new ticket if the launch gets scrubbed as well, they don’t issue refunds once you’ve left on the shuttle bus I think, so it’s worth thinking about when budgeting the trip.

Also, pro-tip: get a yearly pass. Gets you in to the visitor complex as much as you want for a year, and becomes economical after two or three admission tickets, and also includes parking which is $10 or so otherwise I think. I got a yearly pass, and saved on admission and parking a fair bit since I went back probably 5-6 times. The launch I saw was scrubbed once. The other times I just geeked out. ;o)

> According to the article, the ads deemed "overly annoying or intrusive" are defined by "the standards established by the Coalition for Better Ads, of which it is a member". Since it's not Google actually deciding this, how is that anti-competitive?

The argument I see for this: because it's a group Google, an ad seller, is part of deciding what ads are allowed and then Google blocking violating ads. Arguably, by pairing standards with blocking, the Coalition for Better Ads, including Google, are jointly engaging in a combination in restraint of trade.

An anti-competitive action doesn't become less anti-competitive when instead of one actor with dominant marketshare, you add additional incumbent actors in the market into the decision process and make it an agreement to restrict what products are acceptable to sell and actively block other products in that category.
What people in tech had to say about JavaScript when it debuted in 1995 (2017)
Exactly opposite. Last line is not bandwidth limited - FTTH exists. FIOS and even comcast do that.

100 people at 1Gbit/sec to the edge are 100Gbit/sec in the core to content providers.

[Edit: Downvoting 2+2 being 4 is stupid]

1 Gbit/sec is easily deliverable at the edge, even if it costs 5 thousand dollars to get it connected. 1 Gbit/sec of non-oversubscribed IP transit is at least $500/mo. A building with 100 apartments would require $50,000 a month in IP transit costs. This does not include costs of the long distance fiber, locations for PNI and gear that can do 48x 100Gbit/sec ports. So your Interwebz is going to cost you either > $600 a month or you get congestion and that congestion would be coming from the core, not from the edge

What's your threat model? Unless you name what you're afraid of and what you're trying to hide, you're just feeding paranoia and it's unhealthy. And I'm not trying to say you should do nothing - the steps you suggest would at the very least increase the cost for NSA to collect data, potentially making it scale less or even make you fly under the radar. Still, if you want those rather uncomfortable actions to become habits, you'll need to have some motivation and for that you probably need to name your worries first.

> As I'm sure you're aware, many content creators that you are reading the work of fund their efforts via ads.

I cannot make myself care about that, at all.

I am not the person responsible for finding a viable revenue model, that is the responsibility of the content creator. I refuse all ads and tracking, because I value my own attention span, my time, my bandwidth and my privacy.

I am not obligated to watch ads online, just as I am not obligated to stay on a TV channel and stay in the room while ads are running, just as I am not obligated to pay any attention at all to ad billboards.

As an aside, I support several high-quality content creators through Patreon, and several open source projects through donations.

Yep. He said "Mars transfer orbit."

I find it disappointing, however, that a worthy scientific payload isn't being launched. There was a late cancellation of a moon orbiter mission a few years back because of European Space Agency budget concerns (http://www.esa.int/Education/ESA_concludes_student_ESMO_Moon...). Could they not have adapted something for a Mars mission?

Seems a waste to send an automobile advertisement into orbit around Mars for eternity.
> IMHO the appropriate position of philosophy in modern academia would be as "metascience"

I don't think we should draw too many boundaries over what's 'appropriate' philosophy -- there's a lot of stuff to think about and a lot of people around to think it. I just hope that people don't think that obscure philosophy from academic journals is the only 'real' philosophy.

That's also not correct. If you, as the site owner, are still talking about ISPs or cloud hosting you are someone who is riding a bicycle on a shoulder of I-95 next to semis doing 80mph in 65 zones. You are, frankly, irrelevant. Also you do want to make sure that those semis use <blah>-bypass instead of clogging your highway.

The real issue is that we allow those ISPs to determine which semis are allowed to use a bypass. Public's ( even technologically advanced public's ) mixing of the two issues is why NN fight would continue to be lost.

Yours seems like a fairly usual reply when either Airbnb or Uber are discussed - "it works for me". Great that it works for you.

I have never had a problem with the cabs where I live (and Uber is banned)

Anyway to add my anecdote as a counter to yours. I was back home in Scotland at Christmas last year. Private Cabs were all busy, so we tried an Uber wanted to charge nearly three times what the monopolistic black cabs (the ones you hail from the street) charge. My one and only experience with Uber and it didn't seem good.

No, the ablative material is white (like on the center core). The darker fins are the fancy new titanium fins (note they're a little larger too).

Not sure why they went with the new fins on the side cores and not the center core... The side cores are going to have a pretty tame reentry (gentler than a Falcon 9 to LEO), while the center core will be coming in very hot. Currently they only use the titanium fins on very hot GTO reentries.
