I support tools and software that help kids learn technology and coding. I really like the idea and the simplicity, and the cool 13x13 pixel concept, but I can't get over the pricing just to get access to its online EDU hub (license is $100 for 25 students) or classroom packs (which is more expensive but also more acceptable since it includes physical pixel boards). Perhaps I feel grumpy for its over-commercialization of education from Mattel, one of the largest toy company in the world. Another is the several patents that they have on the concept, which irks me.

Scratch is not perfect, but it is at least free, and access to own accounts and community is free.

Also, I think we're giving our kids too much screen time. When I was a kid, the most helpful concept of programming was not a programming language or software, but rather it was just learning the concept of logic and playing with "and" and "or" with electronics and transistors / gates / switches. For that, I think electronics kit (Heathkit) were awesome.
Be careful when dealing with this company. They have rebranded themselves many times. I have a personal negative experience with them, and seems many others do as well. I interviewed on site, and via Skype. They seem like a decent company on the surface, but in action, appear completely disorganized.

I'm really curious about what's really going on there.
Sorry, reading fail! But the linked report is indeed vague:

"Colistin is manufactured by two companies in India but the country is also importing at least 150 tonnes of the drug each year."

They appear to have found some customs documents, that's all. Googling, some article says "China was estimated to be using 8000 tonnes of colistin per year of the global production of 12 000 tonnes" a few years ago. So it would not be surprising if this import were only 10 percent.

Also: TFA says "There are currently no regulations that would prevent such export to the UK on hygiene terms, except for those agreed under the EU. Any regulations to be negotiated after Brexit might not"

while the article linked says "the UK uses less than a tonne a year of colistin in agriculture."

So it's not banned now, it seems!
Then I will exit my home with a scrambler mask.
Someone that paid for 8 would probably disagree. It's no longer a free upgrade, is it? Perhaps people should switch to LibreOffice. It's really more usable according to most people I've talked to.
I'm not so much concerned about people making politicians and other personalities say something they haven't, rather I worry that these personalities will now have plausible deniability for any footage of them doing or saying something embarrassing. It's always harder to prove a negative and in this case you'd have to prove that it can't be a fake. Now imagine figuring out which video is real amid a flurry of fakes.
I had the same question given the title of the article. I think it should be more accurate to say that they're dropping old Windows support, not that it'll only work on Win10

I have experienced the first point many many times, and no, they aren't registry hacks. I've had things get reset straight out of Windows power options among others for example.
Just like there is a social system in place to sift fact from rumors (via watercooler chatter, snopes, networks of trust), at least to a degree where society doesn't collapse into chaos, in the same way will we be able dampen any damage that this new technology might cause. I think this whole "fake videos of politicians" will become a way smaller issue than what doomsayers predict it will be.
Latest Data from IMAGE Indicates Spacecraft’s Power Functional
UV will kill most microbes, which is why things like the UV pens are good for purification. However you need to at least run it through a filter first to remove large particulate matter, as the UV won't penetrate into those and kill the microbes inside. Most filters also won't catch viruses and bacteria, just protocysts and dirt.
Every now and then dancing mania article pops out here or there and every time I'm reading it I wonder how much of it is exaggerated after telling and retelling this stories or even as a warning of sorts that such 'dirty', spontaneous rave may be deadly so should not be performed by a righteous christian (considering that it happened mainly in Europe between 7th and 17th century)
The presence of one source can be easily dismissed, but if you have 500 independent sources that produce video of the same event from their own angles and timespans in an interconsistent way, it's far more likely that the recorded event happened as opposed to all of these different sources lying.
Silent updates: it is up to these people, whether they want to risk getting hacked, not up to Microsoft.

Reset settings: still happens. The worse thing is, that firewall rules for application packages have version numbers in them, so when you change the rule, and the package updates... you rule is ineffective. And no, Bing doesn't to know, what I'm searching local start menu for.

Didn't still document: so you know what "cV" or "iKey" values mean? Still, where's the "off" option? Mozilla doesn't get the telemetry from me, and there is an universe of difference, how trustworthy Mozilla is compared to Microsoft.

that's why you put iodine tablets in and/or cook water.
It does so by eliminating a much larger number of situations. Essentially, it guarantees that you can always make progress by looking at at most two numbers and their surrounding revealed/unrevealed squares, until you reach the last ten mines, after which it allows board-spanning reasoning. In doing so, it eliminates a very large number of puzzles that might be solvable with deeper logic.

So the version described in the article, where it generates purely random setups and you can ask for help if it's truly impossible to make progress without guessing, will actually give more interesting puzzles, sometimes.

A more ideal version would even take into account probabilities, so that to get help you'd have to point it at one of the squares with the lowest probability of having a mine in it. (Or, as another commenter points out, a square with the highest probability of useful progress.)
Pro has also silent updates. You can just postpone them... for a while.
No disagreement on that, but even he allegedly started saying it is faked recently.

Don’t you find that formulating requirements optimally often benefits hugely from, or requires, technical understanding of what might be possible, and that this understanding is usually absent, by definition, in a PM?
As a web developer, this is not true. An large number of clients I've worked with have used IE and thanks to Win 10 shipping with Edge (which in itself is a decent browser) I've noticed a huge decline in "but it looks odd in my browser" comments from clients. So while I don't like Windows, or Microsoft in general, I do like the push to get rid of legacy stuff by them.

Agreed, although I think what you're describing is how it'll be sold, yet most people will surreptitiously use it to indulge in fantasies with "normal" people which will be even more damaging.

Got a picture of that co-worker you like? Congrats, now you have him/her in some porn. Interesting times for sure and I think we'll see a lot of flak and fallout in people's personal lives from their creations, far more than we see from "typical" porn use now.

I don't really get what people don't like about baked-in telemetry. C'mon, every software engineer knows that statistics help immensely to make a better product. This is such standard practice and it's anonymized. They do not care about your personal life.
The difference is with testimony, the witness can be as moral and honest as possible but still miss report what they heard. With faking audio, it is either correct or someone purposely tried to fake evidence. That means that if the source of a recording could be verified, we know that it is very close to true. With witnesses, there is always doubt.

There's nothing about Go that makes GUI programming hard, it just hasn't taken off. Probably because maintaining bindings isn't fun, and bindings are rarely pleasant to use (impedance between C and the host language). And writing a decent GUI toolkit from scratch is a huge amount of work. Besides, competition from web apps and things like electron is eating GUI apps' lunch, regardless of programming language.

Go is a general purpose programming language, so it's suitable for basically anything in the Java/Python/.Net world modulo availability of libraries.
Both.

All of the software optimization isn't necessarily ASM though, but just being more clever about how you explore the search-space of encoding options.
On the other hand, I valiantly tried a number of variations of “learn C++ in a weekend” when I was a teenager, and finding most of them too difficult/annoying, presuming prior knowledge I didn’t have, I decided programming just wasn’t for me and focused on my violin playing. Now I’m neck-deep in bioinformatics and machine learning, enjoying more than almost anything else ever.

In other words, I’ll cop to thinking you’re weong about this, and that sometime in the future, you or someone else will return to a thread similar to this one, wishing that someone had flattened out and simplified at least some of the technical aspects of this stuff so that you could move forward without such massive frustration that you would give up even despite substantial (but not invicible) motivation.

In most large corporations and governments, the primary reason for not using open source (especially is software development) is that open source doesn't take purchasing people out for lunches or golf vacations.
Try again; your example is terrible. There is no "loophole" discussed at that link. According to that link, the "Satanists" claim that a particular law has been misinterpreted by abortion clinics, and that the law conflicts with 1A religious rights. The only way this could be related to a loophole would be if somehow the law gave some parties additional benefits they didn't have without the law, perhaps after modification to meet 1A requirements. The whole purpose of the law is to make obtaining an abortion more onerous, so who could possibly be getting such a benefit?

The Bill of Rights has invalidated or modified laws in hundreds of legal cases. In none of those cases has it been considered the action of a loophole.
Really? How much harder is it to run the OP's script with 500 input videos as opposed to only one? Especially if they're very similar? How many people have the expertise needed to identify a faked video, and how much training would they need?

Stupid idea. Just get rid of all parking minimums and the favorable tax treatment of parking lots in commercial areas and the problem of having too many personal cars in city centers will take care of itself without heavy-handed regulation.
Is it just me or are these "deep fakes" just not even very convincing?

I felt the same way about all the Nicholas Cage ones that were viral recently. It's so obviously a very shallow 'effect' and can't compensate for very basic differences in bone structure, hair, etc.
Its something entirely different to fake a face instead of a finger in a video. Then again, the deep fakes I have seen so far arent really that convincing either. But one can only wonder how much you can improve such a thing. With politicians of whom a wide array of video material exists and were you have the option to create an incident, instead of altering existing ones, the possibilities are really interesting.

> If someone would put together some non-trivial demo, and get 100 non-technical people to speculate (in detail) on how they imagine it was made, I'd imagine the answers would be fascinating.

I've done a similar thought experiment over the years with (some very patient) non-technical friends, usually using some kind of mobile game on their phone...

They all more or less worked out the high-level concepts (events and listeners, input controls, the game loop, objects/models, persistence, networking, etc) but that was about it..

No one could even start to explain how it worked beyond that..
The recommendation for survival situations is to purify, treat, or boil your water if you possibly can. If you can't, then you should consider drinking water without processing, the theory being that it's better to get sick with something that probably won't kill you in 3 days rather than die of dehydration in the next 12 hours. The calculus changes quite a bit if the unprocessed water likely won't even make you sick.
It is kind of scary to see some of the "old guards" of the medical advice I grew up with getting basically tossed. In an exciting way, I should add.

Ulcers, in particular, was huge. So much of previous advice for dealing with them was just flat out wrong.

If this pans out, I'm very interested to see where it goes next.
Source? The LifeStraw claims to filter out 99.9999% of bacteria, which makes sense, since bacteria are large and thereby easily filtered relative to other contaminants like viruses and dissolved metals.
When I was a kid in the mid 80s, I got a racing game (Revs) that let you enter names in for the CPU racers. Looking back it seems ridiculous but I remember it being such a thrill to pretend I was racing against "people" I knew. Even that was exciting to me, so what's happening now is absolutely mindboggling(!)
Ahh you are undervaluing the power of automation.

With a few sources you can build an accurate single model of an event. You then edit that event as you see fit and then generate as many "independent" sources from different viewing locations as you want. Then upload them to different social media sites at different times.

For those out of the loop, this is related to a previous post on hackernews of an amateur astronomers blog. He accidentally found signals from an unknown object that looked like NASA's IMAGE satellite, which had previously been lost in 2005.

This blog post ended up reaching a few people who were on the team that worked on the satellite, and lead to NASA investigating whether or not it is still up and running. And according to this post, it seems that NASA has been able to get telemetry data to confirm its the IMAGE satellite.

From what I remember, solar flares can cause reboots for the satellite, and some time in the past 10+ years it started working again. Its a pretty cool example of what amateur astronomy can do and pretty amazing that this long lost scientific instrument can be brought online again.

The main connotation of "loophole" is that the result is accidental rather than intended, which is fictitious propaganda.

"It's just crazy, but somehow, accidentally, we passed this big tax law and hedge fund managers don't have to pay taxes! Oh well! I guess we can't ever fix it, either! Crazy accident!"
As someone who spent a good 8 years doing development in static languages and then the next 8 or so doing mostly JavaScript, I do occasionally miss the superior tooling available in static languages - and yet, I’m more productive in dynamic languages. This isn’t just experience, I occasionally still write Java and Scala code. But dynamic languages are sufficiently more powerful that the trade off with tooling is worth it.

In Scala the compile time alone is a massive drag.
No. Most places I submit to use PDFs and require authors to typeset themselves. Both Latex and Word templates are typically provided for you to fill your content into.

But I still use Word, because odds are good that for any given paper I'll hit at least one collaborator/editor/proofreader/etc who doesn't know how to use Latex, and so using the lowest common denominator (word) saves us all a lot of complication.
It's basically the same situation as we had with print before television.

It's all about which sources you trust. In fact, it has always been that way.

Deepfakes just makes it more obvious. Which is maybe a good thing.
So, birds that can't fly very far, are very high. Interesting.
This is very interesting. It looks like a few subtypes of colon cancers may join the list of cancers caused by bacteria (H. pylori in stomach cancer) or virus (HPV in cervical cancer, Hepatitis in liver cancer). Every bit of preventive care against cancer helps and hopefully a vaccine against these bacteria can save many lives in the future.
> Kamprad’s heirs now won’t have direct control of the firm. They will have a more meager fortune derived from family-owned Ikano Group, a collection of finance, real estate, manufacturing and retail businesses which had total assets of about $10 billion in 2016.

I do not think the word "meager" is really appropriate when we are talking about $10 billion in assets.
Don't see anything wrong with that.
Windows 8 was widely accepted as a problematic release and there's no current support for it. But almost no one remains on 8. On the other hand, Windows 8.1 is a perfectly fine OS and there are still significant number of users from what I saw in the latest census. It's slightly faster and lighter than 7 and does not have many of the components of 10 that some users don't seem to like.

My own machine came from OEM with 8.1, but I upgraded during the free phase and while I personally like 10 even more, am sure there are people who are hoping to remain on 8.1 for as long as possible, so it would have been munificent of MS to have supported Office 19 on their platform, but I guess they won't and that's that.
That's patently and provably false. "Creators update" is the same thing as a service pack, NOT a major revision. Major revisions as follows:

Windows 10	29 July 2015	NT 10.0
Windows 8.1	17 October 2013	NT 6.3
Windows 8	26 October 2012	NT 6.2
Windows 7	22 October 2009	NT 6.1
Windows Vista	30 January 2007	NT 6.0

"Fall Creators Update" is version 10.0.16299
You're making an assumption that because glucose is part of the process, it is essential to ingest it through sucrose, fructose, starches, etc. For humans at least, this isn't really the case as it's possible for the body to produce glucose from fat and protein when no polysaccharides are being ingested, and function normally and indefinitely doing so. Without water, vitamins, sodium, iron, etc., the body will experience problems it cannot compensate for.

Starch(in general) is considered a nutrient, but not because it can be used to produce glucose.
Something that comes up a lot on the deepfakes sub is the notion that this should make people more skeptical. They use the phrase "If anything can be real, nothing is real" and I think it makes a lot of sense.
If Amazon can watch a grocery store with cameras and figure who bought what, I'm sure they can apply the same tech to figure out which worker is working without wristbands.

Typical portable water filters do remove bacteria, but not viruses.
There are projects which modify Go to allow it to run on bare metal. I don't recall any of the names though and I can't speak to their quality.
If people are judging research by that criteria they are idiots. I'd prefer not to associate with or gain approval of such persons.
Water filtration may be mostly unnecessary, but water purification (elimination of gut-crunching pathogens) is another story. If you're in a true survival situation, taking a chance on drinking water that could have dangerous pathogens is probably not worth the risk. Every water source is different and carries a different risk profile (how far upstream, where the water is sourced, etc).

You don't need to buy anything to purify water. Oddly this article did not discuss the simplest method of all - just boil it. A steel, non-insulated water bottle works fine.
