The Host Identity Protocol (HIP) is the answer to this, and many more problems. We do not need to disable the dangerous devices if we can have an identity based network which allows us to whitelist the nodes we allow to interact with our devices. HIP would also allow mobility to work properly, and would render the network too opaque to efficiently spy upon. The Internet is incomplete: It is missing an Identity layer ... HIP!
All these proposals about taxing more make me feel uneasy. The real issue i have with tax isn't how much i pay but how it is used. Before i need to pay even more tax i would like to see a concerted effort to automate civil service jobs out of existence (needing to queue at 5am in the morning to get anything done in Berlin is an inexcusable joke in 21st century) and two we need to destroy the unemployment welfare system and implement a basic income. If those two things don't happen as a minimum then i don't think anyone should pay another cent because Europeans are already getting shit value for money as it is.

I know that I was hired into my current role without having a CS degree at the time [1}, based solely on my open-source portfolio.

Your original comment complained that you didn't get to review the software. My point has consistently been that you did have a chance to review it, and chose not to. What you think about what it did, or what I think about what it did, doesn't matter, and "what it did was bad" is not a counterargument to "you had a chance to review it and chose not to".

This isn't the first time a piece of software, open source or not, has released a new version that did something users didn't expect or were angry about. The sole difference is that, in the case of open source software, you have the chance to review what it will do by looking at its source code prior to running it. The fact that you didn't review it doesn't mean it was impossible to (that would be the case with a proprietary browser like Chrome).
I just came across the Stolarsky mean in a completely separate context. It seems like a really useful framework for unifying different kinds of central measures, similar to the idea in the original article here.

I think that using a series of skew operations for rotation could still be useful. Bilinear/trilinear texture lookup will always look a bit blurry. Most graphics processing apps are still done using the CPU for most basic operations. And when the GPU is used, it's mostly compute shaders to get bit-accurate results (they could still be using the texture unit, though).

Real time graphics is of course a different matter.

Not sure what your link proves. In reality, no one knows if this statement to be true because addresses and wallets can be shared.

Yeah, I'd love to see info on this. What country was it?
When working on plain old telephone system (POTS) multiplexers, I came up with the following story which a service engineer insisted was true:

An elderly lady with several pets called the operator to say that her telephone failed to ring when her friends called; and that when it did ring, her dog usually barked first. The engineer went to investigate.

He climbed a telephone pole next to the house, connected his test set, and rang the line to subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring, but the dog barked loudly. He tried again, now the phone rang.

Climbing down from the pole, the engineer found:

- This was in a country where the ringing was done from one of the wires against ground (not across the pair) (I think it was England).

- A dog was tied to the telephone system's ground post via an iron chain and collar.

- The ground post was in dry, poorly conducting ground.

- The dog was receiving >50 V of ringing voltage when the phone rang.

- With this torturous treatment, the dog would start barking and urinating on the ground.

- The wet ground now completed the circuit and the phone would ring.

OK, this story has a definite "urban legend" ring to it. Mythbusters wouldn't have tested it with a real dog, I guess.
> The UK has possibly the most overpriced railway in the world

The UK railway is still subsidised by the tax payer -- while some routes like Manchester-London make a profit, this profit is reinvested into loss making routes like the Welsh Valleys which help keep communities alive (the operating companies take about 3%, so a £100 ticket without a private company taking money would at cheapest be £97)

There is plenty of competition on the Glasgow-London route, including two Coach companies, Plane - multiple companies and routes, driving, two direct train companies (albeit with similar branding) and a third overnight.

The $240 peak time one way fare comes out at 58 cents per mile. It's valid on any train, just walk up and go.

For almost all trains it's actually $183 return, or 22 cents per mile - valid on any train other than the first arrival into London in the morning and the first couple out of London in the morning.

A train from Washington to New York will set you back $1.14 per mile, with less flexibility.
If you actually read this article, there's barely any information in it that warrants that many words. It's basically just an advertisement that goes "lots of people have bought this thing!" with the automatic effect that readers will then go "wow sounds popular I should think about getting one".
>Why do laws that appropriate private citizens wealth need to be justified?

What moral authority does a private citizen have to own land in Manhattan created 3 billion years ago and made valuable by the infrastructure he didn't build and community he charges rent to?
In my personal observation a lot of discourse over personality stems from the fact that there are two differing ideas that both use the same word - personality - to define themselves.

One idea defines personality as an innate wiring of your cognitive processes given to you based on your genetics.

The other defines personality as the sum of all factors leading up to your current personality state (including your innate wiring).

Both of these ideas are true - there are some innate dispositional tendencies that are very observable, and there are also lots of things (structure, habits, practice, and improvement) that you can do to change yourself.

IMO, most of the arguments in the personality space come from the fact that the word "personality" is defined so loosely.

Pressure cookers are quite common in Spain, and most fear from exploding pressure cookers comes from the 70s and 80s, when they had less security features, valves could get stuck, and people were careless ( i.e: opening the lid before pressure venting, forced cooling under the water tap...)

I've checked on Google News for accidents in Spain, and haven't found anything more recent than 2012.

Using modern pressure cookers is quite safe. Just check your valve works, that your ring seal is in proper condition, and close the lid properly.

AND NEVER TRY TO OPEN IT IF PRESSURE HASN'T VENTED

That's a typical description for "set it to run for way too long" that comes with using any make/model pressure cooker.

Remember that the time it takes to pressurize the vessel is not dead time, if you tell it to run for 5 minutes, it's going to run for 5 minutes plus the several minutes it needs to reach pressure, plus however long you leave it before releasing the pressure valve.

Halve the time you typically use (seriously) and see whether that results in better texture for you.
The article bangs on about how China got a single US congressman.

Israel has enormous influence over the whole of congress.

Mearsheimer and Walt is still the big book on the subject:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Israel_Lobby_and_U.S._Fore...

The US give Israel billions of dollars in foreign aid every year. Allows them to disgregard UN resolutions and prevents the recognition of Palestine.

Israel has nuclear weapons and is outside the Non proliferation treaty and yet the US goes crazy about other countries that try to get weapons.

Meanwhile AIPAC isn't even registered as something foreign.

This can be happily discussed online and in every non US country it amazes people how a tiny country like Israel can get the US to support them no matter what they do.

Now even Jerusalem is recognized as the capital of Israel, by one country in the whole world.

Been using a rice cooker for some years now, it's already a huge step up from cooking it in a pot. And it seems almost nobody uses rice cookers here (NL). Fun fact, people from Asian countries are rather unlikely to know how to cook rice in a pan.

I'll very likely get one of the IP's, as cooking ribs and other slow cooked meats do take a lot of time now, and pressure cookers are like playing with a bomb.

There's a fairly strong correlation between IQ and income. Yes, IQ is not the exact same thing as intelligence, but it's the best measure we have available.

Woah, who are you interacting with that not knowing SQL is rare?

In my experience, nearly no one knows SQL, and the attitude seems to be that learning it at all is a waste of mental bandwidth.

On the other hand, I wonder if knowing none at all is better than knowing a little.
Bare in mind that SQL was designed to allow non-technical business users to use it. In most offices, a vetern business user or BI person will know how to use SQL. So SQL is a DSL for relational deconstructing of data models that is conceptually simple enough for people to grasp.

Templating can absolutely save time and boilerplate, but adding a DSL over a DSL in the form or ORM may well be the problem.
Just responding to this quote:

> How do we convince you that a title is worth watching?

Here's another quote that balances that one a bit:

> We also carefully determine the label for each observation by looking at the quality of engagement to avoid learning a model that recommends “clickbait” images: ones that entice a member to start playing but ultimately result in low-quality engagement.

I read that as saying that they want to avoid tricking you into watching stuff that you won't like. Certainly an interesting problem.

I agree with your points about how hard it feels to find new, interesting stuff on Netflix sometimes. The browsing interface feels like it's set up to make low effort discovery easy, but not to find content that's really great and unusual.

I often end up using a third-party site like Rotten Tomatoes to help me find something interesting. Perhaps that's because I trust independent reviews more than Netflix recommendations, especially now that Netflix features their own content so prominently.
I just don't understand the point of a rice cooker, I really really don't. Cooking rice is the simplest thing in the world - throw rice in a pan with water and some salt, turn the gas on, wait 10-15 minutes. Done. Why would I buy a separate device taking precious space in my kitchen for what has to be the easiest cooking task imaginable? When you say "people [..] are rather unlikely to know how to cook rice in a pan" I just don't understand. It's like saying that someone doesn't understand how to make a cup of instant coffee. The only way to fuck it up is to put it on gas and then forget, but that would ruin any dish.

All browser makers have long histories of forking the platform with proprietary extensions more or less whenever they feel like it. So what does this assurance mean? Indeed that's now how HTML5 is meant to evolve! Nobody even uses the W3C anymore do they? It's all just throwing whatever extensions get built by browser makers into HTML5.

I'm sure WebAssembly will have its share of compatibility matrices and vendor-prefix equivalents soon enough.
I've heard this from quite a few VCs. The difference between a good and great engineer is 10x. The difference between a good and bad market is 100x.

Control systems are built for safety, not security. This means that they are built with the assumption that random equipment failure happens and has to be caught. There is no regard for security aspects. In particular, there are typically no safeguards against deliberate malicious intent. For example, in common field buses, once it is confirmed that a message transmission was free of errors, the message itself is typically taken at face value and acted upon. There is no way to verify sender identity.
Tangential question - the study calls itself longitudinal and was conducted over 16 weeks. I was not familiar with the word so I googled longitudinal:

In some flavors of SQL, the query planner can't see in a stored procedure.

You can then start combining stored procedures. Great way to build a slow mess quickly.
So my problem is that REST stuff is usually a horrible mess with lots of special-casing, while SOAP gets ridiculously leaky and requires very tight coupling and lots of tooling to allow servers or clients to implement it cleanly, because the envelope formats etc. are really complex. If you've got something which can consume the WSDL and generate client code then you're good - provided it has a sane connection handler etc. etc. etc. because usually in my experience they then try to do too much for you and are very vague about what that actually is.

Needs something else. Preferably something already invented. My employer has a SOAP API which is very annoying, written in a framework that lets us throw any exception we like back to the clients, thus exposing internal details by accident in an interface which we then can't change because people might be processing those exception names to understand the errors they're getting when their requests aren't valid. This is where the idea of RPC needs a gatekeeper (oh for a framework-level option to say "you can only throw exceptions to the client which are in this namespace" or maybe "only ones which derive from an class in this namespace").

We also have a REST API, which is reasonably good at hitting the RESTful ideas, but not great everywhere because yup, there's that ambiguity in the conceptual framework itself.

There's also a lot of code involved in actually consuming the thing.

I need to read up on alternatives. But our customers aren't going to change any time soon!

AFAIK, there isn't anything special about birth which would freeze brain development at that point. Baby brains are quite undeveloped - they don't experience the world like we do.

Record yourself and see how people see you from outside.

If they did that, you'd see just how small their catalog really is. For Netflix, the recommendation engine is vital camouflage for the fact that they just don't have very much content. Netflix have about 4,000 movies in their catalog, of which a substantial proportion are low-budget filler. Once you remove the obvious junk, you're left with a selection of movies that's no better than a Blockbuster store circa 2005.
