What would be the motivation though. I presume that nation states with an interest in the mission would have Ways and Means of verifying that it's operational (or not) -- whether by their own space-based observations or other methods.

For everyone else: what's the point of suggesting that there was a failure? It doesn't make anyone look good, least of all their highly visible commercial launch supplier SpaceX (who're unlikely to want to be blamed for any sort of 'fake' failure that they can't disclaim responsibility for either way), or N.G., or the agencies involved.

I'm 34, in a similar situation. I think going w/ what whalesalad said is worth taking to heart.

There's a lot in life outside of our control but we can control, to some degree, what we put in our bodies. I'm paying much more attention to that now (using MyFitnessPal) and going for a daily walk.

These are baby steps and I'm hoping to work myself back into shape to at least play some pick up soccer games, start new hobbies, and have clothes fit well and look nice again.
I think that's a great idea, but economically all the investment right now is probably in saving the Cavendish banana. Not only is that what modern customers are familiar with but it's also what the industry is set up to produce.

However, it that succeeds, perhaps it will inspire people to duplicate the feat with the Big Mike / Gros Michel. And inspire investment to back that, both for profit potential from a "new" product and for insurance in case some new problem befalls the Cavendish.

But I'd bet investors don't want to divide their efforts right now.
they send raw credit card numbers, they dont send YOUR credit card number. They create a disposable credit card number, which they send down to the hotel, linked to your credit card. Its like a token in the form of a different credit card number. The hotel doesnt know the difference and the disposable credit card number has a fixed limit which is what you paid for your room. After that it is discarded, I dont know what happens to it afterwards.
Edit: I work for a large hospitality software company, those numbers go thru us before they get to the hotel.
My point is that it's not insider trading. I also didn't link to any Washington Post article in my comment, so it's not clear to me if you responded to the right comment here.

What are we trying to solve by moving the world to UTC? We can't change when the sun rises and sets, nor can we change our circadian rhythms. So what we're left with is the fact that different parts of the world do things at different times. Using timezones, we set the start, midpoint, and end of the day to common numbers. If we ditch timezones and move to UTC-everywhere, we still have timezones. They're just implicit now. And we also have the new burden of our day changing while the sun is still up.

You waive off my dinner example as if "dinner" is a rigid set time. It's not. I'm in New York and I eat dinner at 6pm sometimes. Other times I eat at 8pm. Under UTC, this means that I sometimes have dinner on Wednesday at 23:00 and other times I wait until Thursday at 01:00. Asking someone over for "dinner on Wednesday" would always be ambiguous.

Here are some other confusing examples, if the dinner one doesn't illustrate it:

(At work)

"What days do you have off this week?"

"I got Tuesday/Wednesday and Friday/Saturday off"

(At school)

"When is the paper due?"

"Tuesday"

"The class that starts on Tuesday or the
one that ends on Tuesday?"

There's a reason we have the days change when most of us are asleep. It's a lot easier. A day encapsulates a day.

We could acclimate to all of this, sure. But we'd still have timezones. It wouldn't be immediately obvious to the Londoner that 11:00 is a terrible Skype time for her California colleagues (3am). So I don't see the gain here. Dealing with time differences is a fundamental aspect of living on a ball Earth.
The scheduling plan was adopted in 2015, according to Intel.
When academia wants to educate their own, they don't use lectures - they use apprenticeships. Lectures are a cash cow they sell to the rest of society.

Most students come to university to be credentialed, and the higher prestige the institution the better - student demand seems to show they would rather listen to the ramble of a famous professor who can't wait to get back to the lab, than an effective dedicated teacher.

My experience with Brooks’ Law matches yours: More honored in the breach than in the observance. I also have worked for managers who display TMMM in their office but add people to projects to meet a deadline.

I think decisions like adding more people and sacrificing conceptual integrity and quality reflect a human bias to favor short-term results and to discount or ignore possible future costs.

Where's the line for material non-public information, vs something not obvious to most of the public, but discoverable through research?

Any engineer sufficiently motivated to do so could have examined a CPU at any time in the last ten years, and, through skill, access to publicly available information (the instruction set, cpu datasheets) and immense amounts of hard work, uncovered the Meltdown flaw, without any access to Intel's internal trade secrets.
The problem is that there really is no other viable option for most use cases yet.
There's nothing to dispute here–the are obviously factors other than costs that make (some) people prefer to stay put: local family, friends, or even plain old laziness.

That doesn't exclude the cost scenario outline further up, and the relative strength of these effects vary from person to person.

And no argument will "win" such debates for either side. These are complex issues, and even if everyone can agree on the mechanisms at work, you'll get widely different results based on differing importance for the conflicting goals you're trying to optimise for.

Rent control, as shown above, might legitimately add to traffic. But it's also cruel to force elderly people to leave their remaining friends, and their familiar neighbourhood, just because they can no longer afford rent.

Anyone claiming "it's so easy: just..." is invariably wrong. California's legislators aren't stupid. The main contributor to housing problems happens to be the unparalleled economic success of the state, plus a few geographic quirks.

Simplifying to the tired old "free market" vs "regulation" debate is only exchanging one set of problems for another. The US happens to have other locales that dabbled in an ideology-driven "free market" approach. The result are the suburban hell-holes that are Atlanta, or parts of Houston: Low-density clone cities totally reliant on cars, with much longer commutes and huge environmental footprints, almost devoid of street life.

What's usually needed is neither more nor less regulation, but smarter: encourage high-density mixed zoning, create public transport that can compete with cars, encourage companies to adopt telecommuting, flexible hours, distributed workplaces instead of central campus etc...

A skilled amateur astronomer can verify a satellite's orbit and if it appears to be maintaining attitude control. If you want to hide what you're satellite is up to, you call it a weather satellite and go on with your day.

The scheduling plan was adopted in 2015 according to Intel.

Regarding the second point, yes it's a grey area. Refraining to trade when the trade is part of a scheduled plan in order to avoid a loss is insider trading if you have privileged information. In principle refraining to trade in general is probably illegal, but I admit that's a murkier area.

They are already blaming each other. So if this ends up in court how does that work? Do they find a cleared jury?

It should go without saying that the satellite didn't design and assemble itself at this point in time.

This headline could be misleading. Based on the limited information so far, all indications are that SpaceX’s mission was a success (payload delivery to a given orbit). But we have precious little to go on, and won’t have visual confimation of anything in the predicted orbit for a couple weeks.
I agree this looks shady, but from a legality standpoint, does this take precedent over a pre-arranged stock trading plan that was adopted in 2015?
The mechanism is that a plaque builds up in your coronary artery. This plaque can rupture, spontaneously or if disturbed for some reason. Then your blood starts rapidly forming a clot around the location of the rupture, and this is what blocks the artery.

Elsewhere in this thread there are links showing this specific plan was changed in October. Intel can say whatever they want but it doesn't change what they publicly reported to the SEC.

Do you have a source for your first claim that cancelling to avoid a loss is insider trading?
It's a spy satellite, they probably painted it in camouflage.
This won’t be Intel on the hook, or paying fines, and the SEC is the proverbial sleeping dragon. Do not pull the tail. They have a long arm, and high profile cases make careers.

If only the post had a canonical URL!
Can't tell if you are being serious or not, but assuming the satellite didn't burn up and re-enter the atmosphere, they probably know exactly where the satellite is. But, if there are bad control parameters, for example maybe it is spinning wildly, they can't communicate with it because the radios can never get a lock on each other.
Well, there are plenty of places on the globe out of sight from any private ground based observation (or, any ground based observation at all, I'd bet). Applying delta while flying over the pacific ocean would do the job.

Yeah it’s your job as a Unix dev or admin to not stick with crummy but convenient defaults, kid. Nothing exposed to the web or touching anything exposed to the web should be running as root. Each thing should be running under its own, very limited, user and group. If something gets hacked, you want it to be as least privileged as possible.

Did they give any numbers on the quality of the qubits? For example, IBM's 20 qubit chip has 2-qubit operations with error rates on the order of 5% [1] (some pairs of qubits are better, some are worse). Quantum supremacy experiments require thousands of operations (tens of layers of parallel operations). Qubits with even a 1% error rate per operation just won't cut it.

I suppose. That also means the bird can't see the ground.

Web Packaging [https://github.com/WICG/webpackage] allows the authority over an origin to delegate serving to a third party (and support things like offline serving). This is similar, but better than e.g. what a CDN does today, because the third party does not need access to the private key.
None of those are exclusive attributes of the right. Democrats have done lots of all of the above.

For example, stupid and shortsighted... the Employer Mandate for health insurance which had the unintended consequence of businesses realizing it was cheaper to hire an extra employee or two so that they didn't have to make anyone Full Time employees and pay for insurance or get hit by the penalty tax.

Democrats and and pro-Union policies also generally have lots of dumb shortsighted unintended consequences for how businesses operate.

Don't even start with corruption. Both sides are corrupt in their own ways.

Do you know how to fool the detector in the article even if it were perfect? Put a sticker with a picture of a toaster that is closer to the toasters in its training dataset than the banana is, to the bananas in its training dataset.

Humans would consider this a non-interesting exploit.

This detector has to choose a label for an image with two labels. Use something like YOLO2 on this, and the detector will recognize a banana AND a toaster.

Now we do know that compared to humans, these detectors over-react to textures over structure. If you look at the sticker, you can see how it kinda looks like a toaster: the big red blob looks a bit like a toaster button. A generic shape is there, the thing over the button looks like both the control to lower the toasts and the slit where the toasts are.

These classifiers will get better at recognizing structure, especially if we train them against this kind of things.
A bit late but I forgot to add the worst case I've ever seen. We had hired a new dev who was going to take over a senior position when we had multiple openings for over 6 months. The offer had been signed and returned when the head of HR rescinded the offer. When pressed for a reason why, his exact quote was, "We aren't the Yankees, were like the Oakland A's. Were just looking to get on base, not to be number 1"
“To the best of my knowledge this is dead code that no one cares about”
is this a joke? Look at Chicago and Detroit. Democrat corruption is rampant. It is well known that Obama massively increased the amount of illegal domestic surveillance and use of unconstitutional FISA courts. To say nothing of his attempt to subvert the First and Fourth Amendments to the point where Apple had to act in outright defiance with an open letter to the People. To say nothing of how he handled the Snowden revelations or the bombing of 4 additional countries all the way up to 2017 based on a 2001 authorization.
It is fairly normal to sell a portion or all of shares received from excercising stock options to cover tax liabilities. I don’t think it’s clear that knowledge of the exploit changed his behavior. Furthermore the stock has not taken a major hit on the news. It is still up compared to a month ago, 3 months ago etc. it is down a little over the last week. The idea that he sold to avoid a stock crash doesn’t really hold if the stock didn’t crash, right?

Quillette asked a bunch of people who are in the fields quoted by darmore and they mostly agreed that the science quoted was accurate[1]. There is evidence to show that as economic equality increases, gender diversity skews more. That is, in poorer countries like India and Eastern Europe, women are more likely to work in tech to gain economic advantages. In countries where women are well off, they are more likely to pursue roles that are seen as feminine.[2], [3]

Somewhat predictable to see the mess evolving. Once you start peanut-buttering over something, not quite all the nagging problems go away and then you need even more “solutions”. Then even more.

Enough, Google. Making small web sites is EASY, OK? No AMP needed: just write your content and, as if by magic, it is small and loads nearly instantly. If web sites are bloated and slow, close them and use something else. Stop hyperextending the web to make lousy programming practices the norm.

The meat of the story is:

"We embarked on a multi-month long effort, and today we finally feel confident that we found a solution: As recommended by the W3C TAG [1], we intend to implement a new version of AMP Cache serving based on the emerging Web Packaging standard [2]."

I'm just reading through this so I'm gleaning as I go, but it looks like the W3C TAG came out with a recommendation for 'Distributed and Syndicated Content' [1] that specifically addresses AMP by name, and recommends strategies to do this kind of content syndication in a way that preserves the original provenance of the data.

The Web Packaging Format [2] aims to, apparently [3], solve packing together resources, but, rather, HTTP request-response pairs, maybe HPACKed?, and signed and hashed for integrity, in a flat hierarchy, in a CBOR envelope, that nonetheless has MIME-like properties? I'm still digesting what's all involved.
