I think what the grandparent wanted to say is that every sharp S (ß) in the article should actually be Beta (β). The article probably refers to a certain slide[0] Jonah Peretti's presentation[1] "Mormons, Mullets and Maniacs" which actually uses a sharp S in italics. Seems to me like it should be a Beta indeed, especially since using a sharp S in this context would be rather unusual as far as I can tell.

I agree with you actually. Having studied ICSE growing up, those 2 topics are the most prominent parts of Indian history in my memory, after which come Maratha and Rajput history.
I think that secret shopping is a great idea for forensics, but I worry that in areas of criminality, just pushing fake requests over to forensics won't work unless it's accompanied by the usual pleas from the cops and DAs actively working the cases to which those data are associated.

Similarly, a rush order is a rush order, but a rush order with a group of people carping on how it's a rush order tends to get more rushed. When the queues are effectively bottomless, stamping 'rush' on an order without the associated pressure seems likely to relegate its status to regular.
More precisely, it isn't a POSIX utility.
Using its geofencing, which is awesome! Not ready for prod yet, and I'll open-source the code;

I started building a generic geofence gRPC framework on top of tile38. You get a gRPC service that abstracts away the Redis API from you, and is generic enough to run multiple applications from the same tile38 server. It works by namespacing keys into their own collection. The namespacing is done through authentication with the header metadata, so it becomes transparent to the gRPC client.

I'm

* sending a notification every time the bus is x km/miles from someone (static geofences),
* triggering certain actions when user's at a train station (in conjunction with Google/Android geofencing)

I have been trying to use roaming geofences, but don't really have much use for them at the moment.
This project is using AI to analyse public data of receipts from elected government officials, detect anomalies and tweet about them. It has already led to a deputy to have to return funds to the government.

There is very little material in English about this project, I finally spent some time to translate and create an English and French wikipedia page. I am not otherwise involved with this project (yet!) but think it deserve more visibility, and that we should leverage it and similar project in other countries.

Passenger weight is nearly negligible in airline terms, as you note - considering the weight of the plane itself and the cargo, a few hundred humans on board makes little difference to the fuel consumption. The biggest factor is how many people they can cram into a plane at once. The only regulation holding this back to sane levels is emergency egress - too many people in one row and it'll significantly hamper evacuations.

I've read a number of articles that conclude airline seat sizing is deliberately designed to be just at the point of unbearable, to persuade you to upgrade to the next class. Frustratingly, the next class up costs at least twice as much. You either have to pony up a huge sum for semi-comfortable seating, or try and bear it. I've flown London-Hong Kong (12 hours) in Cattle Class a few times, and that is about the most I can stand.

I'd be very interested in reading about what you're doing with your home network, and how much you're paying for their services.

When I last looked, Comcast charged around $200/mo for 250Mbps down / 20Mbps up, unlimited bandwidth, and a static IP. At the time it seemed too much, but now I pay around $150 for for 130Mbps down / 13Mbps up, unlimited bandwidth, and a dynamic IP. So I might have to give it a bit more serious consideration.
For some insane reason the Intel Management Engine runs Minix, which makes it one of the most widely deployed operating systems.
What could be disappointing about data? Poor or rich, population changes can cause changes in lifestyle and the social order in general, hence the relevance of knowing that it is real and not just perceived or bias.
I've worked extensively on these systems as a developer. ;)

Siemens, Thales, Ericsson, Samsung - all have shipped SIL-4 systems based around the Actor/Voting model in the past, because it is an industrial standard. These systems are still out there, in some cases 20+ years later, in track-side systems as well as operations.
The movie Simone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_(2002_film)is about a producer that invented a digital actress.
In 1976 I applied to the 4 of the 5 top grad schools in math (I let my mother decree that Berkeley was too far away from where she lived -- if that sounds weird, please realize I was 16 years old at the time). Those were Harvard, MIT, Chicago and Princeton. I was accepted at all except Princeton, and visited the other 3. There was no apparent academic difference between the Harvard and MIT departments, because both schools said one could study interchangeably at either of them. Harvard easily beat MIT on other criteria.

As for Chicago -- well, when I asked Irving Kaplansky to volunteer something I might not yet know, he told me the history of the department. That didn't impress me. I eventually picked Harvard over Chicago for several reasons:

-- Chicago had a fixed course curriculum. Harvard had zero actual course requirements.
-- Harvard's faculty seemed more approachable by and engaged with the students.
-- I was more attracted to Harvard's resources in other departments. (And in fact, I wound up post-doccing at Harvard in public policy.)
-- Cambridge was a lot nicer area to live in than the area around University of Chicago.

I made the right choice. But I surely would have been happy with Chicago as well.
There have been two such breaks, not one. Perls 1-5 correspond to the first such break. Perl 6 corresponds to the second.

If "regular expressions" is taken to refer to formal language theory regular expressions -- which is NOT what 99% of devs mean by the terms regex or regular expressions -- then "breaks with the tradition" (formal language theory "tradition") happened somewhere in the 1960s to 1980s timeframe, when capturing parens and backreferences were introduced in [qs]?ed or similar. (Years before the first Perl arrived in 1987 to popularize and extend said break with tradition.)

If "traditional regexp" is instead taken to refer to this latter notion of "regular expression", i.e to match what 99% of devs DO mean by the terms regex or regular expression -- Perl 5 compatible regexes, PCRE, etc. -- then Perl 6 represents a second break with tradition, breaking away from the currently still popular Perl 5 "tradition".

In other words:

* "Regex" meaning 1: formal regular expressions (from 1950s)

* "Regex" meaning 2: Perl (5) compatible regexps (from 1960s)

* "Regex" meaning 3: Perl 6 rules[1] (first officially available 2015)

> But in this case, it is a non profit donating to another non profit institution. So there are no real tax implications anyway.

There are implications. A private foundation has required distributions[0] and this could impact that. My guess is the IRS would be reasonable if this donation was returned, but there could be issues, especially if the foundation had delayed past distributions in order to fund this major project.

>If you took a sec to understand Musk's comp structure you'd see that its paper wealth, as in he doesn't take cash out of the company.

So far, the obvious implication is that at some point in the future Musk will become even more rich, mainly off converting his paper wealth to cash wealth. I cannot get behind the idea of taxpayer wealth being used to make billions of dollars for a few wealthy individuals.

>I'd guess its likely he paid more in taxes than you, if you're an average earner.

Yeah and? I'm talking about 5 bil in subsidies.
We need to really make it painful to be a patent troll. Allow companies to band together and accuse a company for being a patent troll (list of patents as evidence and evidence of the ideas having existed prior to patent filings), if proven then their patents should be disbanded and the company fined. At the very least allow companies to band together to have invalid obscure patents from unknown companies that DO NOT EVEN INNOVATE taken down and voided.

Edit:

Once a patent has been proven invalid, it should be possible to sue for damages from being forced to pay the patent troll.

>I would love to see a social network demand a higher standard of friendship from a user before other users are allowed in their network - based on something more than reciprocal button pushing, so kind folks don't feel compelled to accept a friend request out of politeness.

Like Facebook?

There is no one type of "social network" out there.

The solution is for people to learn how to use various social networks effectively. Facebook is for keeping some sort of connection with people you know or once knew. Twitter is for content, be it about activism or entertainment. Instagram is for people to boost each other's self esteem so they collectively feel better, at least for some time.

For personal connections, what we really need are small, immutable communities like a small town or a school class. People who talk to each other on a daily basis. This is the only way humans are accustomed to live and judge their own worth and the progress they make.

This effect can best be observed on Instagram. By wiring very carefully curated moments of a top percentage of millions of people to our brains, we're only making ourselves feel worthless and put ourselves under enormous mental stress.
I kinda can't imagine them not having something comparable to the safety mechanisms in the Chunnel...

Basic repairs, emergencies, etc can't require a full service stop across the line. There are solutions used in similar situations that are baseline operational requirements.

Something could trivially be done to the same effect. A private party, say an investigative journalist, could submit a number of samples and report on the results (perhaps that happened in this case and that's why we know about it?). But to keep costs under control, instead of testing like this on every lab on a regular basis, that private party could randomly select labs for testing. While they're at it, they'd probably prefer to select labs with complaints, rather than a random sample. And at that point, you have something resembling the system we currently operate under, which has--to be fair--been completely successful (if a bit later than ideal) in identifying this problem lab. But as taxpayers, is it worth instituting a new regulated program over this essentially free solution?

Besides, this seems like a case of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. Successfully identifying a problem lab--albeit tardily--is a signal the system is working; not that it needs a complete overhaul. Rather consider what completely unrelated problems would benefit from regulatory oversight at a higher return on investment. Focus on those, not on a solved problem.
I also use the latter, I like to see the bigger picture to have context on the smaller details. Sometimes I find the details can be boring if it lacks overall context.

India's history has always been written to suit a political purpose. The Nehru family (and their cabal of left historians - ideologically influenced by the former USSR) has deliberately tinkered with our history since independence, and the holier-than-thou stance of the article is extremely hypocritical. You only realize how much is manipulated when you start ploughing through the original reference material. The evidence of a whitewashed history we've been fed all these years is damning.
Fair point. Although you don't run VWs in closed spaces, but one might do so with fans (same reason why I hate it when universities or offices put laserprinters in closed rooms - always gives me headaches)
The article is a fluff piece, as it does not even describe the fact that Hollywood contracts already reflect controls of how an actor's likeness is used, and not just visually, but any distinct aspect of that actor is typically managed with contracts. It has been like this for well over 15 years, ever since quality face replacement became common.

I do know significant aspects about this, as I am the author of a global patent on Automated Actor Replacement in Filmed Media. Awarded in 2008. Went bankrupt in 2013 trying to deploy a Personalized Advertising company, and end up selling the patent to stay alive.

I don't think users particularly care which label an artist is on but the big labels attract the biggest artists and can back them up with marketing, so thats kind of expected.

Its hard to say if the discovery products are supposed to guide users to less expensive content, but is is an interesting theory. But showing users content they might not be aware of would necessarily go beyond the big labels that are everywhere. I think it has more to do with providing value that can't escape the platform due to external factors such as a label striking a deal with a competitor.
Perhaps competing restaurants or jilted employees of a restaurant would look to sabotage someone.
I did this when I set myself to learn cell structure. It was years since high scholl biology, but I was motivated to study. I planned my studies with a textbook, chapters, sections, days, etc. I started and 2 weeks in I realized that I would need a better chemistry foundation. My whole plan was broken and I needed to start another one with the new information. The thing is, it is good to have goals, but it is almost impossible to foresee what you actually need to do in order to accomplish what you want early on. And I think that this is true for anything.

I don't think retweets are trash in general. They are one of the main ways for me to find new, interesting accounts on Twitter. I follow people because I like the things they tweet, i.e. find them interesting. Chances are they are going to retweet content that I appreciate too. If someone starts retweeting random, uninteresting content I just unfollow (or disable retweets for them, like the author mentioned). Problem solved. Maybe I don't have the same problems with noise because I follow fewer than a hundred accounts, since I treat Twitter as a source of information first, and a social network second.

I do similar mental exercise with higher dimensions, but for me with easier situation - escaping from certain area without crossing boundaries.

1 dimensional - an endless line with 2 spots marking boundaries to some subpart X. If you're inside, you need to enter 2nd dimension to escape that subpart X without crossing boundaries (and ie come back to original dimension).

2 dimensional - circle, you're inside, you need to enter 3rd dimension to escape without touching the circle.

3 dimensional - sphere, entering 4th dimension to escape without touching the sphere.

I can't go with my simpleton mind much further but it should scale indefinitely :)

You have no idea the level of digital makeup already employed in film. The big abusers of digital makeup? Men! Why?
