I think people are just asserting what is and isn't possible without stopping to consider that they could be wrong. Whether the original photo is or isn't a composite, I don't know. Even as an amateur photographer, I do know that a non composite photo is possible that will look very close to the original.

Don’t stress about this correction. No matter what happens, when it’s over we’ll get right back to making real money.
I think the new keyboard is pretty terrible honestly. So many keys get stuck and no longer press down. I've had multiple friends who have had to get their whole keyboards replaced because of stuck keys and the genius bar couldn't fix it.
Eh, I feel one can be just as angry/outraged at Trump & Team as they can be at Congress for letting them get away with it.

That, and given the upcoming midterm elections, I feel I have more influence on Congress (or at least my Congressional delegation) than I do on Trump & Friends.
Well, all of Europe has been suffering under austerity for something like 10 years now. My money is on that it will come to the US.
You can't be convicted for something that was legal when you did it but was made illegal afterwards, so retroactive prohibitions don't apply.

However, it's not symmetric - lifting prohibitions can be done retroactively, to not prosecute people for things they did back when it was still prohibited.

Unfair, arbitrary prosecution may violate someones rights, but unfair, arbitrary immunity can not - there's no right to get someone else punished.
>manual mechanism for opening the rear doors from the inside

Brother of my close friend literally burned to death in a Hyundai with no manual override for unlocking/opening doors. Granted he had modified the car's stereo system with custom speakers and the roadside mechanic did not do a good job with it which caused short circuit/fire. But had he been able to manually open the doors he would still be alive today. And to think Tesla is all batteries that have strong chance of starting a fire - ugh.

If car body construction tech was new you could cut Tesla some slack but given all of these issues have been fixed by pretty much all manufacturers years ago - I have no sympathy for Tesla there.
So, if you wanted to use one you would need to redo all your math and effectively use a non rotating frame in the middle of all your calculations, or add fictitious forces and flexible constants.

That's what the Christoffel symbols already do - it's part of the formalism, there's nothing to add!
Epic Systems (the biggest vendor of EMRs) is one of the primary users of Mumps/Caché. In the early days of the company, technical support was allowed to write in customizations for clients as long as they could fit in a single line of code. This was possible given that one 'feature' of the language is that all the reserved words have a one letter alias. So if you were one of the unlucky ones assigned to support these old customers, you'd run across stuff that looked like "s a w; a f 10; a f s w ^a;".
What are you basing this off of? Can you cite any source at all for this?
My initial thought was that blogs tend to be funded by ads. So more blog = more ads.
I met some East Germans in the US in July 1989. I asked them if the wall would come down. They said the prime minister said, "Not in the next 100 years."

100 years vs. 5 months. Pretty close...
> To be fair, from what I understand the no fly zone restrictions thing actually does require geolocation lookup and I think those no fly zones can change, so pinging a server and checking in makes sense.

Not exactly. Issue a map file with the no-fly zones as shapes (as easy as possible to save on space) and embed it with a creation timestamp. Force an update every 30 days - have the app download the file and upload it to the drone. Manipulating the drone time won't work as it gets its time directly from GPS.

Also these patch files should not clock in too much - the entirety of Europe's streets can be squeezed into ~3 GB (download size of full Navigon EU map set)... I'd assume a 512MB flash chip would be sufficient to store all the world's no fly zones.
A lot of this language's unreadability is due to how it was originally interpreted instead of compiled because of the cost of memory at the time of its invention:

> Since memory was tight originally, the language design for MUMPS valued very terse code. Thus, every MUMPS command or function name could be abbreviated from one to three letters in length, e.g. Quit (exit program) as Q, $P = $Piece function, R = Read command, $TR = $Translate function. Spaces and end-of-line markers are significant in MUMPS because line scope promoted the same terse language design. Thus, a single line of program code could express, with few characters, an idea for which other programming languages could require 5 to 10 times as many characters. Abbreviation was a common feature of languages designed in this period (e.g., FOCAL-69, early BASICs such as Tiny BASIC, etc.). An unfortunate side effect of this, coupled with the early need to write minimalist code, was that MUMPS programmers routinely did not comment code and used extensive abbreviations. This meant that even an expert MUMPS programmer could not just skim through a page of code to see its function but would have to analyze it line by line.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS#Overview

I'll add that Wikipedia's take here is a little optimistic: perhaps it was true when MUMPS was invented that it could use one line to accomplish what would require "5 to 10 times as many characters" in other languages, but MUMPS's language constructs are by and large about as low level as assembly with a couple exceptions, so this is definitely no longer the case if we're comparing it to modern high level languages.

In addition to Epic, the US Department of Veterans Affairs wrote their homegrown EMR in MUMPS. Their development group is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/hardhats
Static site generators, at least how they exist today, are unfortunately massively impractical for the vast majority of Wordpress users. Heck, I am a pretty technical user and even I regret moving my blog to a static generator.

> I wonder if they acknowledge any responsibility if their tear-downs reveal recallable design defects?

Why should anyone be held responsible to find a flaw in a 3rd party product and not report it? It might be considered unethical if a life-threatening issue, yes, but IMHO there is no way to attach legal responsibility.

I can't stand companies like Cloudflare that won't let you contact them to get support. My phone was stolen and with it my 2nd factor. Now I can't get in, and you can't access any support whatsoever without logging in first.

So now I have to transfer all my domains away from them and go through all the trouble of setting up DNS elsewhere.
They're great for a toy or a hobbyist, but companies or anyone who relies on the drone tech should look elsewhere. I can relate to awful customer support and even strange software problems that are refused to exist by DJI.
Not from France, but elsewhere in the EU there generally are registries of bad debts (with libel-like protections requiring the information on them to be true or removed).

So the bank looks at your income, possibly your expenses, and whether you've been defaulting in the past. If it's your bank, which it usually is, then they can probably mine your transaction history in more detail to decide how trustworthy you are.

What is the regulatory burden in forcing car manufacturers to publish the same manuals and offer the same tools for purchase they already have for their own service centers?

Besides many countries do require automobile mass market vendors to offer spare parts and docs on FRAND conditions to "unconnected" repair shops already.
Shameless plug: I also wrote a tool similar to com2txt in 1996: https://github.com/pts/pts-xcom . A quick comparison:

* com2txt.exe is 7110 bytes long, xcom.com is only 401 bytes long.

* xcom.com can also convert back from text to binary.

* xcom.com can also convert to data text (without the self-decoder header).
WrkRiot CEO Pleads Guilty to Defrauding Employees
The Swiss have been isolationist for five centuries, which is why they did everyone's banking in the war.
The other stupidity of that line is what difference will it make it I paid more tax voluntarily? Obviously bugger all. But should the middle/upper society all pay more it gives the govt significantly more resources to better society. Its a willingness for personal sacrifice for the greater good, not personal sacrifice for no good.

Can these people ever see tax as a value proposition? Wasted tax dollar are bad. But if you pay 5% more and get universal healthcare and get a liveable social security safety net that seems OK to me.

Further this attitude that its 'taking money I earnt' need to understand they are driving on roads that were built by generations ahead of them. Using sewers that their grandfathers laid, often on tax dollars. Benefiting from the political freedoms people literally fought and died for. Etc. If they want to claim the money earn is theirs the should go to someplace completely unoccupied and carve out an existence. See how much success they create truly on their own back. Maybe then they can understand we are all standing on the shoulders of those that came before us and that opportunity/system needs to be paid for and ideally continued to be improved upon.
Why go to all that trouble when you can just

#!/usr/bin/tcc -run

It sounds like this is the bit here. Big websites have revenue needs to switch to AMP, since Google prioritizes them in search. WordPress blogs are most of the content that doesn't need to. But if Google can push AMP down the default install path for a WordPress blog, they manage to swallow the largest segment of content they aren't currently drawing in through other means.

GR is fine with that - what will happen is that there'll be a sign change in the metric (the 'time' coordinate will become spacelike, whereas the 'angular' coordinate will become timelike), making it impossible to sit at a fixed value of the rotating frame's angular coordinate (which would correspond to faster-than-light motion in the non-rotating, inertial frame).
7 Principles of Rich Web Applications (2014)
From a risk management point of view (I'm over 40 so I can say that with a straight face), relying on obscurity for key management is an unbelievable shitshow. If you rely on nobody knowing how you store your keys to protect your keys, you might find yourself obligated to change how you store your keys every single time that someone quits.

Secret storage should really be solid enough that you could publish how you manage your secrets on a billboard without any meaningful impact to your probability of breach.
It seems to mostly be about knowing "hey, there's a problem of some sort right around here," under the theory that once you know that, finding the solution is relatively easy.

It works that way in debugging software, at any rate.
Yep. I don’t understand this trend. I would never use a static blog myself unless they would offer an online administration. And it would be weird to have such a thing for something that claims to be static.

Oof, roofing sucks. I'm glad it helped you with your fear of heights though!

Random anecdote, I slowly got used to being high in the air on ski lifts. Kinda frustrating for me because I really wanted to snowboard but HATED the lifts. Still love snowboarding, still hate looking down. ._.
The whole document seemed to have a positive supportive tone. I'm glad there are still some smart people left in government who are willing to take risks on new technology.

I really hope the do the same with automated cars and other AI tech in general.
I used grammarkit (https://github.com/dundalek/GrammKit), which further uses railroad-diagrams (https://github.com/tabatkins/railroad-diagrams) library to generate the RR diagrams. I don't know if they are related to Gunther Rademacher's RR diagram generator.
Sounds like this shortcut triggers an action performed by compositor, while the parent is talking about actions triggered by applications.
Most car components actually do not come from the car manufacturer. For example: Bosch (which is famous for its drilling machines) is also a common manufacturer of engine control units and other parts and got flak for it during the diesel scandal, Knorr Bremse is an industry supplier for brakes on trucks and buses and Takata a supplier of airbags.

Takata actually is the perfect example: no matter what car manufacturer there is, they all ended up on the infamous airbag recall list: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recall-spotlight/takata-air-bags
It's kinda frustrating that reverse engineering in the physical space is not protected (as evidenced here), but stuff like the DMCA tends to do a lot more for protecting software. Seems ridiculous to me. Perhaps this is why these guys aren't also reverse engineering the control systems (as suggested by many comments, I'm not sure it is true)
Netflix documented this pretty well. They also know that a 3 on a Monday means something different than a 3 on Friday night, even from the same person.

These and other things came out of the competition to improve the success rate of the recommendation system.
I'm not sure that the USB-C cable buys your much that some electrical tape couldn't provide. Besides usb-c being a more elegant solution.

Offloading the battery would be helpful for longer sessions. I wonder if you could either completely remove it and use pass through power or replace it with a smaller/lighter battery.
You’ll find that this happens a lot less often when you’re a paying customer instead of a freeloading target for ads.
Also mentioned in the linked tutorial: Memory on early mini-computers was limited, sometimes only a few thousand
characters. Mumps programs were loaded into memory as source code rather than as
compiled binary. This was done because it was determined that compiled Mumps
programs would be far larger than the corresponding source code versions, especially if
the source code employed size reducing abbreviations.

So why didn't they use a bytecode interpreter, or at least a minifier (as is done with JavaScript), so that the programmer could keep the source code readable while still giving the interpreter a compact version?

Would it have been too computationally expensive, or had people just not come up with the idea yet?
If other Uner drivers are asking $10/h and you are asking $12/h does Uner still send you fares?

Are you functionally able to set your rates or is this only a theoretical thing? If you can’t functionally set your rates you aren’t really self-employed.
mumps is well named - it's more like a disease you catch rather than a tool you'd want to use.
One would imagine they could see the frown on your face, without needing to press a button to show the current state of what you're feeling.

Yes, but that would mean the first gridline == 0 and the last gridline == -1, instead of the way the spec is written today, where the first gridline == 1 and the last gridline == -1. For me, consistency wins here.

That's not the point. The point is there is no reason to use an extra language feature unless it provides a tangible improvement in the code.

In fact, there are lots of reasons not to use an extra language feature that doesn't provide tangible improvements in code, including maintainability, ease of reading code, and portability in python's case.

Overall was pretty easy and painless. In general I pretty feel good about it as they mention that the underlying principle is backed by insurance so if the counterparty does not transfer shares over you can get your principal back in theory.
>This is the kind of reporting you expect from tabloids.

Unfortunately this is the kind of reporting I've come to expect from everyone. I can't necessarily blame them - their job is getting more views than the other guy and "Dow Has Bad Day" doesn't attract as many viewers as "DOW HAS WORST DAY EVER". At the end of the day it wasn't a lie, it was just going with the more interesting stat without regard for whether or not it was the most informative for readers. I wish it wasn't so, but we can't expect better without changing the incentives.
What if I used the HDR mode on my iphone? It is a composite image made up of multiple photos with multiple different exposures? My eyes can do auto HDR, so certainly I would be make the composite to try to make the photo closer to 'reality'.

I would say the distinction between composite and simple processing to make things 'more natural' requires a more rigid framework of discussion. I get the gist of what you're trying to say too, so I'm not simply being thick headed here :)
It could work. It could work better if you're in a tight community of like-minded people and are able to build families.

One company have a object-oriented database programmed under Mumps that is so backwards compatible to the point it can interface to RS232 dumb terminals and run utilites and code from the 70's. Used very much by governments and hospitals, it's one of the most insecure platforms I've ever worked.

Debunking “Giving Up on Julia (for Python)”
I'm certainly glad that I didn't have to touch any M in ages and ages, but there's a good chance that your medical records, your financial records, and possibly your telecom billing is stored with a good dose of MUMPS.

And I heard people do use NoSQL for "important" data, and NoSQL is basically a reinvention of M as a square wheel and with no good parts of it.
As an outsider of the security industry, do people feel like the importance of security is actually going up, or are people becoming progressively less concerned, given how desensitized we've become to hacks and data leaks?

E.g. the Equifax hack was a pretty big deal, but nobody's that upset, everybody moved on real quick. Same with hundreds of other major hacks.

electric cars depreciate ridiculously fast right now. I can buy a couple year old leaf with really low miles for $5000 right now in seattle, and i have tons of choices. Even the up-range models from the past years are under 10k. This also applies to up-market stuff like the I3, etc.

We haven't seen how this will hit say, stuff like the bolt, but basically everyone but tesla got hit was outrageous depreciation.

If that keeps up, electric cars could become a similar price choice for a lot of people who don't need to drive all that far, even if they're the earlier low-range models. This could be further incentivized by stuff like free HOV access and free charging some places a lot of locations enjoy.
Anyone mixing content and styles/structure is doing it wrong. Making it right is literallt the sole reason static site generators exist.
