There's no need for any difference between navigating by car in Google Maps or navigating by public transport in Google Maps.

Meaning, in Netherlands Google Maps show the estimated arrival times of everything, transfers, etc. It'll take into account delays, cancellations, service announcements, etc. All easily within Google Maps (plus a few other apps; the information is publicly available).

Traveling by bike/car/foot/public transport is all the same complexity.

Ah, I understand what you are saying. The instabilities could be explained by the batches sampled during those training days and the generator's input. Training a GAN is not very straightforward and even minor changes in batch sampling could produce vastly different generated images.
Depends on what you mean by Meltdown. The paper defines Meltdown ambigiously, the author variously refer to the Meltdown attack, the Meltdown exploit (= PoC), the Meltdown bug (= vulnerability).

The current PoC created by the researchers doesn't work on other manufacturer's CPU's, but the vulnerability and the Meltdown class of attacks should work on other manufacturer's CPUs. Or at least we don't know any reason it shouldn't. The authors' "toy example" works on AMD and ARM too. (See the section 6.4 in the paper).

> The picture of taxi owners as powerful doesn't at all match what I know. It's a shibboleth promoted by Uber.

the city where i live (a 12 million people city) taxi cartels are so powerful, the leader of one of those has dinner with the governor. he has meetings with senators. there is recording of him calling for taxi drivers within his "association" to violently attack uber drivers and nothing was done.

also, taxi medallions are so damn expensive (with some coming to the price of a house) that the owners become powerful.

So the mid-term fix for js jits should be to gimp indexed array access to the point where an out of bounds index value can never enter speculative execution, right? I'm no expert in these low-level things, but I imagine that speculative execution happens only from conditional jumps and that alternative bounds assurances (e.g. using base+idx%len as the eventually address or limiting it to a sandbox-owned region using a few bitmasks) should be possible that reliably stall the pipeline without allowing speculative access (obviously at considerable performance cost, but the jit should be able to whitelist certain safe access patterns and/or trusted code sources to not let this get out of hand). Am I missing something?

I personally tend to think that I'd value ride sharing services even if prices increase to parity with traditional taxis. After all, just getting a cab in many cities is a real pain point. I also think that ride sharing services are here to stay, and that both individual consumers and society as a whole are better off for it.

However, the parents point is more general and I think you're talking past it. You can't evaluate Uber's societal contributions based on short term and possibly ephemeral benefits. For example, if ride sharing services suddenly disintegrate once VC funding dries up then they can't be said to have made a meaningful impact. Sustainability is actually crucial.

> the idea of a bird intentionally carrying fire instead of fleeing it seems a bit odd.

Fire-stick farming has probably been practiced for tens of thousands of years, which gives a lot of time for birds to evolve in response. Most bushfires in the top end attract raptors as-is (especially Wedge-Tailed Eagles), because there are strong thermals to ride and lots of prey is forced to move, making it easier to hunt.

> It seems Mr. Gosford shares my desire to see a video of the birds in action. And hasn't been able to produce one yet.

The remote parts of the NT are not a suburban or downtown environment. They are not drenched with folks carrying smart phones who are looking for such behaviour. It's vast, mostly empty and when a bushfire is coming what you're meant to be doing is getting the hell away from it before it catches up and kills you.

I appreciate the skepticism, but I wouldn't put bush lore on the same footing as UFOs. One requires a plausible thesis consistent with our knowledge of physics and plausible within the increasingly large scope of observed animal behaviour. The other requires civilisations with FTL travel but no X-ray machines.
Site isolation mitigates variant 1 of Spectre, which would otherwise allow hostile JS (served, e.g., from an ad server) to read the contents of web pages in other tabs (or anything else in browser memory -- passwords, etc.). Google has a PoC exploit for this.

"Transpile" is an artificial buzzword, just meaning source-to-source translation, from Pascal to C for instance.

Actually, there is no such thing as a "transpiler". There are only compilers which are programs which translate from one regular language A into another regular language B. It doesn't matter whether B is a high-level language or low-level machine code.

You imply that being ousted from the company he created is not a direct consequence of his actions.

You imply that unethical behavior was helpful to Uber defeat awful local transport lobbies in some cities and improve transportation for the people.

I strongly disagree with both assumptions. I believe he was ousted for legitimate reasons that he is 100% individually responsible for and I believe that unethical behavior at Uber did nothing to help them win the battle against local lobbies (only to win against competitors).

Careful there with the phrasing. When we talk about animals communicating we generally mean animals using signals (e.g. to indicate the presence of a predator or a source of food). I'm not aware of any reliably documented case of animals communicating abstract concepts.

There is some research with great apes that makes the rounds every now and then but the findings are dubious at best as there's a lot of conflict of interest, handwaving and wishful thinking (see Koko "mourning" when told that Robin Williams died because they met once at some point in the past).

EDIT: Also it's probably a good idea to limit the conversation to social animals. Solitary animals don't have much use for communication other than challenging the competition and impressing potential mates -- insert celebrity joke here.

I'm just expressing how I don't see it useful (I'm curious to hear use cases though). That doesn't mean I want nobody in the world to find it useful. That's up to each and every one of us. Heck, perhaps it can be improved, who knows.

These projects I mentioned have already (partly) tackled the latency issues. RDP and NX suffers far less from latency issues than X11 and VNC.

As for framebuffer, see [1] [2] for examples. Although now that I'm looking into it perhaps my friend was using Links2 and not a Mozilla offspring. I remember he also used lynx/w3m/dillo. As you can see from the example, one could just run MPlayer locally back in those days, with a framebuffer on a local tty. Apparently YouTube works as well [3]. DirectFB links seem dead though, and it seems MPlayer website is also down [4].

Zooming appears a natural motion on mobile devices because it allows one to see more content which is hidden due to physical reasons (a trade-off). Do you really find that useful on todays large monitors? Laptops even? Instead, it appears that for desktop devices scrolling provides adequate user experience. Zooming was added ages ago in Xorg, allowing a compositing window manager to utilise. Has it been used a lot besides the obvious accessibility feature? The only reason it is usable in this specific use case is the low amount of pixels (low pixel density). But I am curious to all these use cases you got in mind for zooming.

YouTube grants all monetization to the claimant instantly, for the entire period of the claim, even if it's bunk.

So take an algorithm that can flag a million YouTube videos, and maybe you steal $10,000 of monetization over cost in a few days. Nobody can afford to sue you hard on the false positives because you're mostly only hitting "nice guys" who will just change the sound and reupload. So you up the algorithm to be more profitable, wash, rinse, repeat.

That's why this is really happening.

I agree - we went with fiancee to watch latest Star Wars few weeks ago. I don't recall the last time I enjoyed a movie in cinema so much, was drawn into the story 100% of the time, not a single blip that would distract & make me come back from being right there in the story.

It didn't happen with any previous SW movies, in fact maybe this was unique experience. For both of us. I didn't question logic of anything (which I usually do), everything just clicked and hummed along the story.

When I checked IMDB, I couldn't wrap my head around why it's rated so low and first 50-100 user reviews gave it either 1/10 or 2/10 and kept repeating how disappointing it is and how it is a worst movie in cinema history. Didn't bother to check their arguments, I enjoyed it profoundly and I still smile when remembering those moments.

Maybe I was in right mental setup for it, but that would be valid for both of us symmetrically.

In fact, as writing this, I recall once I watched Apocalypse Now, and somehow, for some reason, it felt very similar. I saw it before, and I saw it after this, but it was never so intense, so 'right'
Yes, it's another word for source-to-source translation, you are right. It is not, however, cross-compilation, which is what I was responding to. So I'm not sure why you replied to me with this statement.

Looked into the taxes: for regular employees there are 7 brackets. Anything over 80,000RMB (12320 US Dollar) is taxed at 45%. Though it looks like if your income is derived by a company outside China, and you live there for >=1 and <= 5 years, you are exempted from taxes. Freelancers have 3 levels (between 20% to 40%).

Hearing all the negative stuff about China recently, like the online censorship, dictatorship, stories about people not caring about human life, like hearing it's common that if you accidentally drive over people, many will backup to finish the job so they wont' have to pay the insurance for rest of the life and seeings stories like babies on the streets and nobody caring, why would anyone want to work in China?

Are these stories true, or just negative propaganda to threaten the great republic of China ? Anybody care to share experiences living there ?
Because the fire flushes out small prey that the bird can catch and eat. This applies to snakes, small animals, and insects, all of which this species of bird and others can feed upon.
I’m in the same boat as you, but in the book Sapiens it’s written that bush fires in Australia are started to force animals out of the forest and to create plains where they can be more effectively hunted in the future. Maybe the birds do this too (or learned it from people?)
