How heavy is the battery? or do you have to stay connected to the wall outlet?

The only climate control system I am aware of that can be used in this setting are Peltier effect based systems, and they are dogs in term of energy consumption if you can't put fan or other thermal pump.
People live and die too. What happens between the two points in time is the subject of a great many stories. Just because something will die does not make it a worthless endeavor to treat it nicely. This nihilism is a cop out-- everything will die, all planets lost, all protons decayed. If your ultimate response to that is to live by no code, no ethics, because all marks will be lost..then be my guest. But be aware the majority of folk will find you to be in great disdain. And if the laws of probability are of any bearing, you may find yourself as the bound victim-- you played a side as if it was no consequence, even advertised openly for it-- and now your team has the knife in your back. But don't despair, you were going to die anyway! The immense pain you are about to endure is of no consequence. Just remember the lobster :-)

The Saturn Ion had a really similar speedometer placement. I actually liked it since it was in the same horizontal line as the left/right mirrors so it took a little less effort to use.
Funny enough, I too spent some time in Boston during the summer of 1997. Reminded me of Florida summer weather.

I went back last year in October. 20 years is a long time, but the traffic now reminds me of Manhattan (apparently the bad drivers are called Mass-holes), with screaming cabbies and bumper cars.

I did have the best clam chowder of my entire life there, so there is that.

I'm not winning with my CPC conversions and so I'm interested in your take on what problem you think I'm solving and what value I'm offering. Any advice, suggestions, tips welcome.
Up until about five years ago, I've only ever wanted to create and share video games. After a couple years doing it independently and getting my first professional game job, gamer gate happened. It's absolutely terrifying to see the lengths at which people will go to make someone's life a living hell. Every industry friend was affected, and reacted mostly by reducing their online presence, and I've done the same. Some were targeted personally. A few left the industry.

It's hard to want to make games now. The best feeling in the world was watching someone on YouTube play something I'd made. It's different now. Part of it is fear of being targeted, but it's also made me think of why I would put so much effort into something that attracts so much vitriol. I know it's a minority of people, but games take months of hard work to create and these thoughts take a toll over time, especially on bad days.

The more personality a person puts into their game, the more they risk being targeted. It's depressing to have to hide self expression, reduce social media presence, and use pseudonyms when all I really want is to make games for others to have fun with.
How much time did they give all the *BSD developers?

DragonFly had a patch recently .. in master. OpenBSD just had a rant on their mailing list.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like zero.
Facebook affects you even if you've never had an account, which represents the "least often" point on the "choose when to log on" scale.

> ALL THEY DO IS HOST YOUR FRIENDS' PHOTOS

You might not have noticed that Facebook also hosts a lot of Javascript that non-facebook sites load for some aspect of their implementation.
That's great to hear; thanks!
You’re not alone. My favorite interfaces on cars for the AC are the simple two analog dials, one for temperature and one for fan strength. Ditto for radio ... nothing beats an analog spinner with discrete clicks.
We'll have people living in the "belts" working as ice haulers :) There is a great show called "The Expanse" that touches on this.
It plays out exactly as described in "Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High"[1]. Recommended.

Here’s an example:

> The presence of one or more older siblings at home protected against the development of asthma (adjusted relative risk for each additional older sibling, 0.8; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.7 to 1.0; P=0.04), as did attendance at day care during the first six months of life (adjusted relative risk, 0.4; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.2 to 1.0; P=0.04). Children with more exposure to other children at home or at day care were more likely to have frequent wheezing at the age of 2 years than children with little or no exposure (adjusted relative risk, 1.4; 95 percent confidence interval, 1.1 to 1.8; P=0.01) but were less likely to have frequent wheezing from the age of 6 (adjusted relative risk, 0.8; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.6 to 1.0; P=0.03) through the age of 13 (adjusted relative risk, 0.3; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.2 to 0.5; P<0.001).

We've been perfectly well-equipped to deal with this, but some people are particularly thin-skinned and apparently believe that it's the world's job to adjust to their delicate ego rather than understanding that part of growing up is understanding one's own agency.

Playwrights hundreds of years ago didn't like people publicly disapproving their plays, or low ticket sales due to bad word-of-mouth. People have been conveying disapproving reviews for as long as people have been doing something which can be reviewed. That hasn't changed even though there are so many more things which can be reviewed now. There's nothing unique about this situation in the context of video games.

What's telling about this article is that the phrase "free speech" doesn't make an appearance or get any serious consideration. Free speech means people will say things you don't like, convey ideas you disagree with. A principled approach to free speech is not censorship -- "moderation" as the first screenshot complainer is said to have written ("If I quit gamedev, it wont be because of money, or lack of love for the craft, it will be because of the attitude of the vocal 0.1% of gamers who nobody will moderate."[sic] some uncredited person allegedly wrote). Calling a harangue "abuse" is an attempt at conflating something dismissably rare ("0.1%" we're told) and indistinguishable from free speech with actual abuse. We're also told that stalking a game programmer's family happens less frequently than someone's harangue. But virtually no exposition is wasted on something which could very well be genuinely abusive of someone else.

If the disapproving reviews come from such a small minority, they should be easy to ignore or skip past, and one should gain practice in using their advanced technical skill to make a computer not show them what they don't want to read. Also, readers can choose their reaction to seeing a screed; talking about them as abuse victims denies their agency. They don't have to choose to be an alleged victim (the "abused"), they can choose to conclude that someone who replies with "CUNT" repeatedly (as "SaintNick" replied to "ChineseRoom") is irrational and not to be taken seriously.

And please stop talking about "voting with your wallet", a phrase that can be justifiably be said to mean that one intends for wealthy people to deserve more "votes" than poorer people. It should be sufficient to explain that one could choose not to buy the next game that publisher releases, which is probably what one meant to say in the first place.

I agree, the SHARAD work was amazing to use mixed mode Radar to image the subsurface ice tomographically (by reconstructing synthetic aperture radar from multiple passes of 2? different radar frequencies from many orbits with limited antenna time).

This is really the first time frozen water (not just frost) has been SEEN with an imaging spectrometer!
seriously? Mill is/will do speculation before perms? And here I thought turfs were the elegant answer to this nightmare.
Power is very different from influence. Facebook does a great job of encouraging people to choose to visit, but they have no power to force anyone to do so. The second comment is hyperbolic for sure, I used that device to try and swing the conversation closer to the other side where I think it needs to be.
This is usually done for cost saving reasons, since the gauges don't need to be moved for right or left hand drive builds.

Same goes for center "master power windows" controls, locks, etc

Every time I see center mounted stuff I figure it is a global car platform and a cost saving measure.
He is saying that torture is irrelevant if you plan to kill someone. Change the subject from lobster to person. And his argument becomes quite repulsive to most people. Some morals really can't be taught as much as they are obvious to anyone with a full range of emotion. I did respond to his argument anyhow above.

Helpful about the VMware trick. That's new by me...

I had been looking at Intel's online driver support assistant with the idea that my machine's cpu update would be available via this service.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver...

One note, I did not exactly explain my concerns adequately. By "safe" I meant "tested to not brick a specific model computer". With enough poking about online, eventually I would figure out where and how to update the firmware. I don't however have a test machine on which I could verify the firmware update safe. My laptop is very slightly out of the vendor support window so I'll be doing the update without any vendor support whatsoever.
Very cool — at first glance these docs are great. How are they generated?
Personally I think both of them have been in office too long, what was progressive when they first took office is probably different from what it is now and the last town halls for both Feinstein and Pelosi were striking for how ossified and tone deaf they sounded.
He said the lack of buttons was extremely distracting. That's only one problem, but a big problem.
Game design is a form of expression which requires substantial investment both from the developer and also from the participant. The customers have serious skin in this interaction in the form of money spent on the game, time invested in progression, social standing (sometimes you have to be playing this game because all your friends are playing it) and so on. This leads people to thinking that the moral high ground lies with them - they paid for this, they spent precious time, etc, etc - and the game developers should listen to them (and them alone).

In a way the relationship is like the archetypal "number one fan" for a musician, writer, artist in times past, who had seen all the shows and purchased all the books and now feels, because the object of their attentions has made a choice they disagree with, somehow they have been betrayed. What game development has done is lower the cost of entry into these toxic relationships.
I think you'd either want the full month name or all the months to be abbreviated to the same number of characters. You can't do 2 characters because of June and July, but three works. 4 would be sort of weird.
Does the Model 3 have an API? I wonder if aftermarket or DIY knobs and buttons and gauges would be possible.
None of what you're saying is an issue in my outline.

If I'm able to upload a certificate for a.b.c.acme.invalid, the validation TLS-SNI request for a.b.c.acme.invalid will reply with a certificate for a.b.c.acme.invalid and thus fail.

If I'm able to upload a certificate for d.e.f.acme.invalid, the validation TLS-SNI request for a.b.c.acme.invalid will not match my uploaded certificate and the challenge will thus fail.

I may well be misunderstanding the situation, but, I just don't see how.
> Bezos personally ordered the Washington Post to cover as many stories as possible on Trump and the Post dedicated 20 full time editors to him at his direction.

Evidence?

Trumps rise was a huge in this country. A paper is going to increase its coverage of a growing story (of that importance as a potential president). Can you provide some more of Bezos singling out Trump for more coverage than a paper would have?
Works fine for me, however I don't take a great many photos.
It seems it doesn't really refer to their announcement being public or private, but rather what they have to submit in financial statements. They have much looser guidelines, so they don't have to disclose/document as much. They can be more "confidential" about what they submit, and that data is not released to the public until a much later date. This is how I understand it.
Re the last sentence. I have in fact deliberately behaved in ways I never would in life, in a lucid dream; and flown around which doesn't work in real life. Did you swap negative for positive.
Thanks. We moved most comments there.
Personally I love the idea of glowing plants. We first discussed it in 1983 after the announcement that the luciferase gene sequence had been added to a tobacco plant.

What could be better than glowing monkey grass leading up to your house? But as always, devil is in the details.
I think the other part is that after lightening surveillance any terrorist attack that gets through will be used as a political cudgel no matter what to show that you were soft on terrorism. This felt kind of inevitable in the jingoistic atmosphere when the Patriot Act first passed.
That is true but assuming is about greed, I wonder if cutting the price by 1/8 could increase the sales more than 8x around the world.

The article doesn't make a lot of sense by itself. It's more a direct writeup of the video.

Not an iOS expert (I work on Android) but can't you have this in native in the first place ?
Many Android apps are already using this kind of arch without React Native. I don't see why it can't be the same on iOS.

Amongst the H1B visa workers? That would be surprising.

It's an interesting topic actually, (and off-topic here) how likely are immigrant communities to switch their traditional religious affiliation after moving to US. In know a Korean family who became Catholic, and often wonder if it is a common thing and if there are patterns.
Facebook is regulated (everything is regulated to some degree either directly or indirectly). Is there a specific regulation you mean? Perhaps traditional media should be less regulated? I personally really like the way the internet is.
How Are Brand Partnerships Valued?
I was going to submit the same paper, and had the same question, along with another one. The abstract says that the system can be scaled down to molecular level, much like electronics has been scaled to sub mm or nm level. But at the sub nanometer level, we face quantum effects which are hard to overcome. Would mechanical based computing systems give us the same headache as we try to scale them further down?

Both are instantaneous on 59.

Correlation does not prove causation.

Other possible explanations include: You need a certain baseline of health for both parents to successfully pursue careers. Older siblings actively help care for younger siblings. Wealthier families are likely to be generally better educated and better cared for.

Your position was openly hostile from the start. You posit that I am talking about a hermetically sealed bubble and not allowing children to have any contact whatsoever with anyone but the parents. It is hyperbolic and not a good faith engagement. Defending myself against this de facto attack forces me to sound more and more like the extremist nutcase you intentionally painted me as.

I don't plan to engage further. This is not a constructive discussion.
I believe that many animals have forms of communication close to what we call language - an infinitely productive communication system with displacement and abstraction.

Many animals are capable of working in large groups. To coordinate the actions, efficient and rich communication is required.

On the other hand, with billions of years of evolution yielding advances in locomotion, speed, protection from the environment, it seems improbable that the communication will not develop as much and go sharply from nearly zero to one in a blink of an eye with the great apes.

Amazon has thousands of employees in the Bay. Nobody’s going to hire tens of thousands of software engineers in the US and ignore the Bay completely. It has too much of the top talent.

Right I mean, driving a click through to a website due to rage has to be less profitable than driving a click through to say DeWalt power tools due to delight. Right? I mean some fraction of a fraction of of an ad for DeWalt must be worth less than keeping your friends pro DeWalt status update on top.

(This is not a paid ad for DeWalt but seriously, fucking DeWalt. Them and Stihl: just gorgeous power tools)
> I personally really like the way the internet is.

Giant monopolies that control most of it for most users?
That doesn't sound like the correct explanation. It's not as if 90% of Skype users stopped using it on desktop computers.

Other explanations that seem plausible:

* IBM patent, as other poster pointed out.

* ability to monitor/censor users more directly (to stay in government's good graces)

* problems with peers invading privacy or taking other malicious actions
There's a few things that stood out to me that seem like "bad practices":

> we don’t use DNS internally — just configuration-managed /etc/hosts files

This seems very odd and redundant. Does someone manually edit all servers when a new server comes online?

> Make RANDOM() deterministic

Why would you use random if you want determinism? That sounds like the opposite of random to me.

Low-Cost Soft Robot Muscles Can Lift 200 Times Their Weight and Self-Heal
Yes, but it doesn't come for free. You have to adopt an architecture & write the relevant boilerplate, or use a library where relevant. In the RN case, the least trivial part is applying UI diffs representing the move from a previous to next app state.

Have a look at my parent post -- what I was expressing a wish for was a cross-platform Kotlin library implementing RN-like UI rendering. I'd love to get a combination of the benefits of the RN approach, but written natively in Kotlin.
What a terrible UI for ... everything. Everything via the touch screen? Including mirrors? windows? Are you fucking kidding me?

And I don't want to hear that, "Well with the assisted pilot" (and no, not "auto pilot", what a stupid marketing ploy. It's not autonomous and you shouldn't give drivers a false sense of security so they're less engaged when driving).

For the $57k price, there should be a heads up display with all relevant data, or at least the option for one.

Also, what is this stupid UI choice recently in "less is more?" There are so many devices out there today with "one button" and different LED flashing patterns you have to remember for use. Do the windows really not have power buttons, because dropping the window at a drive through is going to be super annoying and more complicated than it should be.

Edit: spelling
It is still an issue, actually.

You misunderstand how the TLS balancer chooses which certificate to present.

When the TLS connection comes in and presents a SNI name of "a.b.c.acme.invalid", the balancer checks its configuration to see if the host has a "website" called "a.b.c.acme.invalid". It discovers that it does. It looks at what certificate in the database was uploaded for that website configuration.

It doesn't actually check the certificate details at all....

It presents the certificate that was uploaded by the "owner" of the "website" a.b.c.acme.invalid.

And if that name needs to present a certificate that says "d.e.f.acme.invalid" then that is the certificate that the attacker will have uploaded for his "a.b.c.acme.invalid" site.

There are numerous web hosts who would permit this and it would work just like that.

The mechanism you're describing is similar to the changes in TLS-SNI-02. It has already been determined that TLS-SNI-02 is deficient as it is vulnerable to the attack I've parroted here.

The trouble is that the people who wrote both TLS-SNI-01 and TLS-SNI-02 apparently had little knowledge of the vast breadth of behaviors exhibited by a plethora of shared web hosts. The assumptions they made, upon which all the current TLS-SNI-0x protocols rely to provide security, simply are not upheld and honored by the real world marketplace of web hosts.
