I have four kids ages 14, 11, and twin 7-year olds. We have never watched TV, don't own any tablets, etc. We rarely watch movies (about a movie every 2 months or so), although I just took the older two to Star Wars. So basically little to no screen time at all for our kids when they were under two.

I can only comment our our family's experience. Our kids have never said they were bored. They build things in the garage out of scrap wood. They play with Legos. My eldest son has built several working boats from scratch, including a birch bark canoe. My daughter spoke at Velocity Conf in 2014 with me on learning to program (she was 7). All of my kids love to read, draw, create, etc.

Anecdotally, I'd say no screen time has forced my kids to not be passive consumers, but to be creative in many different ways. They are also kind and empathetic, probably from so much reading.

I think Facetime with grandma is just fine, even for little kids.

The one or two times our kids came home from their grandparents and had watched 2 - 3 movies, they were crabby and demanding. So we had a gentle chat with my parents to not show them >1 movie per visit.
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. What voice interface system would you like to criticize again?
For my workflow, I copy from the camera SD card to an external HDD, then import to Darktable from there. It stores its thumbnails and database under my home directory, and I can ensure it has thumbnails and medium-resolution previews of all photos with `darktable-generate-cache`. On any photo, I can click "copy locally" [1], and it syncs it to my internal SSD so I can edit without the HDD plugged in.

Right. Again: look at the characteristics of a Ponzi:

* Outsized returns

* All the returns are funded by successive waves of investors

* Most "investors" hold, riding it out in the hopes of accumulating gains

* Easier to get into than out of, even if some eventually can

I agree with this suggestion. I have not regretted having both a smart phone a dumb phone I can use when I want to untether but also still be contactable in emergencies.
There's nothing like that to worry about here. The prices can't stay negative for more than a few hours or big plants would shut down and get rid of the excess production. The average is always going to be quite positive.

And the relevant wind-power incentives are on the production side, which doesn't lead to any deliberate waste.
The energy does have to go somewhere. The natural solutions are speedup and friction heat, so, yes, I'd guess they do self-damage eventually.
The first world war barely registers on the graph. The second world war shows a small decrease in population. But the largest decrease is seen in the 70s and 80s. I have no idea why. But see the data for yourself:

It's safe. The FreeBSD kernel is capable of preserving user FPU state when kernel threads (e.g., aesni(4)) need to use FPU registers.
Yeah, and that’s incredible, gee, but in America we just do not have any other word for this variety of candy coated chocolate thing, but oh my god brand names, wow.

What next? Bitching someone out about trademark law because they referred to a photocopy as a xerox? Watch out!

So yeah, awesome downvotes. Good job.
Ever been to a crossfit gym? Its as communal as any church. The author is referring to "boutique fitness" like CF, soul cycle, barry's etc. Not typical "globo gyms" like Planet Fitness and others.
It's both. It comes down to the keyword identification algorithm of course, not the design by Google. Google's decision choice was not picking a random name that can be identified but instead working in their brand name. My bet is that give it a few years and we will have custom activation words within some constraints.

Target your customer groups: children, women, and dopey millenials.

As a hetero male from the 80s, this kind of childish candy would never interest me. Ever.

But kids love it! Girls think it's cute. And millenials really like dumb childish things, like collecting vinyl bobblehead looking toys that are simply 'collected'.

The rest don't care about this candy. At all.
I've always thought of crossfit as combining the best community aspects of religion with rituals that actually deliver on what's promised..

The similarity is GREED.

People invest in a bubble, despite knowing it is a bubble, because they want to make money. And they are willing to take the risk to do so. Why not, when you can invest a small amount of your net worth and make 2-10x returns in a matter of months? The only problem is nobody knows when the bubble will burst.

Bitcoin like Boo.com, Pets.com, WebVan, etc. were first movers, had good branding and promised disruptive models. These all have value, but were overvalued because the main motivation was to make money. Just like how the main reason to buy Bitcoin now is to make money.

The number of syllables isn't the problem, it's that prefixing every request with "OK," feels extremely unnatural -- almost like you're treating the Google assistant in a sardonic or sarcastic manner.

(Also, "OK" is a very unnatural prefix! Notice how you accidentally replaced it with "hey". I watched a 7 year repeatedly do this a couple of days ago with Google Home, concluding it was broken. Compare w/ Alexa, which kids pick up on instantly.)

Edit: OK, not accidental, apparently "hey" is supposed to work too. Not sure why it wasn't working at my in-laws house! I think "hey" is a better prefix word than "OK" (though still not nearly as nice as no prefix [try always addressing your friends by putting "hey" in front of their name and see how it goes]), so I reduce my criticism by half. :-)
I've done something similar, though still working full time: went to rural Japan to teach English for about $30k per year (and subsidised housing -- it ended up costing me about $150 per month). I had lots of free time after work to write software and since teaching and programming are completely different things to do, I had a fair amount of energy left over. My work day officially ended at 4:30 and usually I stayed until 7-7:30 at my desk programming.

I was quite happy living in rural Japan doing my own thing and spent less than $10K per year, which meant that after taxes, health insurance, pension, etc I saved more than $10K per year.

I did that for 5 years, then I got married and I'm back in the programming business ;-). But anyway, the point really is that you don't actually have to take time off from "work". Find a cheap and wonderful place to live in the country side and a 9-5 job that will pay the bills, but leave your mind free. Then replace TV, video games, socialising, etc with programming in your free time. Even with limited time, because of the complete lack of politics, it's amazing how much you can actually do.
Worse still, a government comes to power in your country and changes the law so you get the death penality, and it's retroactively enforced by looking through everyone's location history.

Probably in a few years this whole debate topic will seem quant, as devices will be much at figuring out when we're addressing them than the primitive idea of a wake-word. :-)

Gimp and Darktable are very different beasts. Darktable is tailored to work on RAW pictures coming directly, unprocessed from your camera. Gimp cannot do that and only works on compresseda and/or rasterized images (thinkg JPG or PNG).

Another big difference is that Darktable does non-destructive changes: you have a history of operations that you applied and you can rollback to any step. None of the steps directly modifies the pixels of the image, instead the program computes the changes made by all of the effects in the history for every pixel in the image, then shows you a preview (or exports it).

Handling a big RAW file and all the modifications that you've done is an intensive process, and that's why it requires a beefier computer than Gimp for instance. There is also OpenCL support, to leverage the power of your GPU.
I'd disagree with the Blender example. I think GIMP and Inkscape are a notch or two behind their counterparts, but Blender can do almost all the things Maya or Max can, with the primary downsides being ui/workflow shortcomings and industry adoption.
People with a little power and no supervision are likely to abuse it for their own ego. I doubt it's anything more than that.

A novel idea for lithium is that much of our lithium recycling is done in other countries. If the government were to classify lithium as strategic security material, it would severely limit its exportation. Ergo retaining more of it domestically and encouraging domestic recycling. Lithium may arrive but it can never leave, so to speak.
According to Wikipedia:
ATP + H2O → AMP + PPi ΔG° = −45.6 kJ/mol (−10.9 kcal/mol)

And at 507.18g/mol + 18g/mol for the water, that's only about 87J/g, which is worse than lithium ion batteries.
Is it both? The Google Home I was playing with at my in-laws house a couple days ago definitely only seemed to respond to "OK" (people kept forgetting and using "hey", which didn't work).
I just assumed it was a work in progress... the rest of the pages seems finished, maybe they didn't put the final version of the index page online :)
People can easily end up on similar schedules and see someone 3-4 days a week for months or years even at Planet Fitness. It's a natural environment to slowly build a friendship.

> Interestingly merely paranoia of surveillance results in self muzzling and self imposed restrictions.

My dad got me paranoid about surveillance. Once I grew up old enough to look more than 2 years ahead I started censoring myself because the internet never forgets and I don't want to give a dossier full of potentially incriminating data when/if we slide from democracy to dictatorship.

The upside is that social media is ruined for me forever ;). In light of recent commentary, links to depression and addiction it looks like it turned out healthier for me.

Nonetheless I'm fully aware of the level of self-censorship I tend to sustain.
What do rational/irrational mean, quantitatively speaking? Before we even write the algorithm, we've got to come up with a formal definition and I can't even begin to think about how you would do that.

This is a very cool approach for detecting anti-adblocking.

However, I don't quite get the point for disruption. That is, it seems necessary to load pages at least twice, and then do some computation. How does that help users who are concerned about privacy, throughput or CPU load?
This discounts the enjoyment of a heathy body and a good workout. It's like complaining about people eating food.
The trick here (in this Wi-Fi example) is that the end you control is the end with parabolic antenna - if you can make it to collect enough energy for RX from an omnidirectional source, you can also make it send enough energy towards that source for its antenna to pick it up.

But you're right that "every improvement in sending is completely equivalent in receiving for a system that uses the same antennas for both directions of communication" is wrong; there are different ways of improving TX and RX, even though some overlap a bit, to some extent.
I second ce4's suggestion. LEDE/OpenWRT are open source projects of linux based firmwares that run on embedded devices. Tangentally, I've used OpenWRT in combination with: a cheap router, a USB dongle as a second wifi interface, a 4G/LTE hotspot and a package called MWAN3 (previously MultiWAN) to configure a cheap and reliable setup for automated WAN failover (backup internet) and for circumventing restrictions of 4G/LTE hotspot devices.
A lot of the signs can be seen as symbols that are easy to draw with the hands. For example, there's the 5-dots and 6-dots symbols. Those are: "every finger of one hand" and "three fingers from each hand". The brush shapes are "bring all fingers together". There may very well be a communicative aspect to the symbols, but I think they were derived from decorative primitives that are kinesiologically-determined.

> it seems control-z does nothing

Normally v2.4.0 improves this. As stated in their release notes: “Add undo support for masks and more intelligent grouping of undo steps”.

Basically, in v2.2, even low-level operations that didn't have a visible impact were in the undo list, so when you pressed Ctrl+Z it would undo something, but you wouldn't see any change. You would actually have to press Ctrl+Z several times to finally see something on the screen.

This was changed and should be more human-friendly :)

> how do you understand the history function?

This is indeed a little bit more complicated that just a list of things to undo. You can read a bit more about it in the user manual: https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/darkroom_concepts.ht...

> As someone who used to organise large demonstrations in London for CND [a UK anti-nuclear org] a long time ago -- there is no point that the crowd is ever so large that a combination of the organasition itself with the police where the crowd "should" be unable to control it. In fact when you're putting together a demo in London you meet the Met police and meeting that requirement is one of the things you discuss with them.

It sounds like that depends on the police and protesters being at least nominally willing to cooperate, however grudgingly. That's not always the case. If the police and the local government think that the protesters have no right to be there at all and the only thing preventing open violence is the fear of bad publicity, it's a lot more of a powder keg.

If the protest is about police violence, for example. Have a friendly advance chat with the police about where, when, and how many, and you'll likely show up to find your venue packed with concrete barricades and cops in riot gear to "preserve public safety". You need to get a critical mass of protesters in place with cameras on them before the cops can get fully organized, or they'll shut you down before you can begin.

It may be useful for some raw materials - for example, osmium ($13,000/kg), rhenium ($2,750/kg), and iridium ($30,000/kg). All three of those are elements that are probably common in the Earth's mantle, but nowhere near the surface, and are mostly found in meteorites; all of them are used in high-performance alloys (high-temperature, corrosion-resistant, etc.)

Doubling the world production of any of these would greatly reduce the prices of aerospace engines and electronics (iridium is used for crucibles growing high-quality semiconductor crystals). And that's easy, because the quantities involved are so low - under 1 ton of osmium per year, 10 tons of iridium, and 40 tons of rhenium.

There are other materials like that. It's all about searching for the competitive advantage, the materials that can't be found on Earth in reasonable quantities. All the nickel and iron and titanium will indeed probably stay up for in-space use.

Though this is not the only solution, a visitor pattern seems to match.

I can think of other possibilities; hopefully this sparks some good ideas for you. I'll sketch up how I think the visitor pattern could work, sorry if it's already obvious:

Base class A. Derived classes B, C, and D.

When A::Foo() is called run code from each class, in the order they are initialized.

class A {
protected:
vector<function<void(int)>> visitFoo;
public:
void Foo(int bar) {
for (auto fn : visitFoo) {
fn(bar);
}
}
};

class B : public A {
protected:
// Do not override Foo in class B, C, or D.
void FooB(int bar) {
}
public:
B() {
// visitor pattern
visitFoo.emplace_back(FooB);
}
};

Repeat for C and D.

Interesting, someone else said that too. It definitely wasn't working for us though... Maybe something to do w/ whether or not it was trained to our voices?
It's not accidental. That's the activation phrase.
Again, it is useful to setting reminders. Very useful. Other functionality for me is just occasionally useful. Also asking the wether and stuff. Would really love to see Alexa begin to picking up traffic or maybe something like calling a Uber.

I think current Echo's interface is still limited, that is why Amazon is adding screen to the Echo Spot. Shopping with voice is just plainly awfully awful.

The ultimate Alexa is going to be the one with a screen + a projector enhanced by AR. That will really cool, though years maybe decades before we reach there.
I succeeded in installing the discontinued "Windows Live Photo Gallery" on Win7, despite M$ efforts to burn down all old pre-Win10 tents.

On Win both Picasa (also discontinued), Lightroom (non-cloud also discontinued), and various open source alternatives are less polished and slower than Photo Gallery. I will try out Darktables 2.4.

The cool thing of Windows Live Photo Gallery is that everything is saved back to the file. If you tag a photo (even hierarchy tags like Places/City/NewYorkCity) the tag is stored also in the photo file, so when you copy somewhere else, all metadata (EXIF, XMP, IPC) is still there. And all photos are NOT-imported to a central database. So you can organize the photos like you want and Photo Gallery just indexes the folders and stores thumbnails and metadata in a central database file for fast viewing and searching. Most a
alternatives to a Photo Gallery want to import all photos to a special directory or even to a central database (see Picasa, and Lightroom) which is like iTunes where all your metadata like the 5 star rating sits then in a central database - that is soooo wrong!! - instead of storing the changes back to the photo files.
"Repeated/prodded thoroughly" matches all of the descriptions of the long-form interrogations by Israeli airline and airport security. If they got to the 100 shekels in his wallet, then that means they probably asked him about a lot of other things first, and searched his wallet, and probably tried to put together a timeline of exactly when he went where to try to find cracks in the story.

I'm sorry you are getting downvoted, maybe it is because of your tone, but coming from someone with an impartial and uneducated view about the subject, it seems like you made a pretty good point.
1. LN is not deployed because it is conservatively developed like all development in a space with $500B on the line.

2. My claim is simply that Bitcoin is worth significantly more with LN than without? You then take a more preliminary argument that Bitcoin is worthless to begin with, which is laughable.

3. 6 on-chain transaction fees that support millions of off-chain payments. And your hub argument is a feature of a distributed network itself, not of LN in particular. Say a "hub" emerges and starts charging fees. Market competition paired with efficient routing solves this easily.

If you don't understand Brahm's argument, I suggest reading through it again. He's a pretty smart guy when it comes to distributed networks.
I used to spend 14 hours sitting at my computer installing weird operating systems and learning to code and hack games when I was 10. I still do basically the same thing at 30 but its cloud systems instead of games and will probably do this the rest of my life. If this isn't something that you are naturally driven to why force yourself to it? Find what you love and put your best effort into it. If what you love is just hanging out then be happy with that.
