Where do you think Spotify's mobile app falls in this landscape? I would argue it is a great balance between new user needs (the Home and Discover areas), with most power user needs in the playlist/search/playback portions.

It isn't perfect, but it actually feels like an app designed to be used to play back music. Apple Music feels like a big, clunky, advertisement.
It may just be another repo at the end of the day. Point is, contributions to open source are sometimes considered when selecting job candidates, so it remains an incentive for folks that may be strong enough for it to nudge them to do work for Amazon. I.e. even though it's technically free labor, I potentially benefit in some way thus I'm content. The problem is potential edge in future job searches is a far more ephemeral form of compensation for your time, is not concretely measurable, and is not actually provided by the company the labor was completed for. In the end the company ends up with a tangible product which they can use to compete in a market and the open source contributor ends up with, at best, a potential benefit should she ever need to apply to some job that will actually pay her for her work in the future.

I worked for two different systems integrators and in both cases on-call work was part of the contract. However, in both cases I got pro-rata time off. So I ended up working about 45-50 hours / week. For some clients I would start at 4am and finish by noon. Had the afternoon off to go to the beach, etc.

We also had an on-call mobile that was passed on at the end of each week. That way, emergency work was distributed across all of the team.
Yup, the Dreamhost model, and the model at generic cPanel sites (sadly some places with cPanel disable this to drive revenue to their commercial CA partner) is the Right Thing here - one of the options when setting up or modifying your web site is "Free automatic certificates" and then it's the Host's job to make sure that stays working, just like if you pick "Use latest PHP" or "Strip leading www. from hostname". The guy with a blog about carpentry shouldn't need to care about the ACME protocol any more than he cares about how erbium doped optical amplifiers work when calling his grandmother half way around the world. It's just technology.

That’s what I was thinking, what does it even mean to ‘hang out with fellow geeks’. You can’t just randomly strike up a conversation with anyone who’s in the middle of coding in a coffee shop anywhere in the world, I would find that annoying. There would need to be a meet up or event where everyone is expecting this.

As for banning, I don't necessary would want them banned, hopefully they can continue participating, sometimes people have bad days and such.
That's not really the fault of Spotify though, that's a rights holders problem. They've added far more songs than they've removed.

>The new edition of Talking at the Gates contained an afterword which detailed the contents of the file the FBI opened on Baldwin in 1961 and maintained until 1974. In December 1963, his name was added to the Security Index, a list of people to be sought and detained in the event of a state of emergency.

>Baldwin’s own telephone was never tapped, as far as the record shows, though there are Bureau records of his conversations with people whose phones were. In 1967 he was made the subject of an F#1 Stop Notice, or “lookout”, so that his arrival at US airports was reported. In this instance, it was by means of a telephone call as he collected his luggage from the carousel

>In the mid-1960s, Baldwin was semi-resident in Istanbul. The FBI tracked his movements there, took note of his eviction from an apartment for “homosexual activities”, and of his intention to form an artistic association with the Turkish novelist Yashar Kemal and the actor Engin Cezzar. An interview from a Turkish newspaper was translated and sent to Washington with two sentences emphasized: “Baldwin had settled in Istanbul in March of 1966” and “After finishing his book the author will return to America”. Statements he made in the American press on Civil Rights affairs while in Turkey or in France were clipped and filed.

>It includes scattered reports on Baldwin’s movements around the world, records of “pretext phone calls” made by agents for the purposes of soliciting information by deceit (posing as an “auto salesman” or a “member of a peace organization”, among other things), snoopers’ accounts of public meetings and private encounters, articles by and about Baldwin clipped from press sources, as well as oddities such as letters of complaint about his books or media statements, written to Hoover by concerned citizens.

Really? This is all of us now? Sounds to me like they really targeted this guy.
I thought one had the 'right' to return items in the returns policy... is there fine print allowing them to deny you?
I would take exception to being called "dumb". If you can make sense of API documentation, then reading a contract is not too much of a challenge.

Unfortunately, there are some people who are so keen to be a programmer that they will jump in without taking due care. As for bosses, you can push back. If you work with lemmings, then it might be time to find a job where your co-workers are not lemmings and the bosses are not PHBs.
There are a lot of gradations of quality between top-end cheese and fake cheese.

I would be extremely surprised if a customer the size of Little Caesars or Dominos doesn't specify its requirements down to the smallest detail.

Those details would be considered proprietary information and/or trade secrets, of course, so neither the cheese company nor the pizza chain would be interested in discussing it or making it public information.

I mean, a flag that moves in front of an ir sensor might not work if the light can leak between the flag and the sensor housing. Also, not all sensor housings are sealed from behind. Some of them are just a tiny folded-metal can that have gaps at the edges. It really depends on the configuration of your setup.

Unless the tape has holes, though, you can consider it opaque. Actually, because it absorbs and blocks ir, it's often used as a target for infrared temperature measurement of difficult-to-measure objects.

People believe conspiracies because they have forecasting power. Example, next time something bad happens listen carefully to see if there was a drill happening at the same time and the same place of the same thing occurring.

The conspiracy crowd is migrating to BitChute en masse, so this will add more fuel to the fire.

Probability notation generally works best for the people who already understand the concept in question. Let me take a crack at your question.

The equation in question is P(A|B) = P(B|A) P(A) / P(B). In modern Kalman filter literature, this would be stated as something like: P(x_k | z_k) = P(z_k | x_k) P(x_k) / P(z_k). It is generally left as implicit in these sorts of equations that everything is also conditioned on the sequence z_1 to z_{k-1}. In this equation, x_k is a free variable in the state space (possibly multi-dimensional, so a vector), while z_k is the measurement, which is a realization of the random variable distributed as N(H(x_k), R_k). The result is a PDF over the free variable x_k.

So let's tackle the terms one by one:

1. P(z_k | x_k) - this is the probability that we measured z_k, given that the true object is at x_k. This is the aforementioned normal distribution N(H(x_k), R_k).

2. P(x_k) - this is the prior probability of the state estimate, generally after propagation through the motion model from P(x_{k-1} | x_{k-1}). In the Kalman filter, this is also Gaussian, and conveniently has the same mean as the term above (see note below).

3. P(z_k) - this is the denominator that someone else mentioned earlier can be effectively ignored, which is right - you only need it to normalize the numerator. If you must compute it, it can be factored as the integral over the entire state space of P(z_k|x_k)*p(x_k). Given z_k, this is a number, not a function.

4. P(x_k | z_k) - The result, which is a Gaussian PDF. You can arrive at it numerically by plugging in specific values for x_k, in which case (1) and (2) are numbers. Or symbolically, in which case (1) and (2) are functions, and you'll end up with the form of a Gaussian PDF.

Note: The original article quotes a distribution for the product of two Gaussians with arbitrary means. It does not state that this is an approximation, which is exact only in the case of equal means. This is why unbiased measurements are one of the Kalman assumptions.
Balance truly is a case of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".

When we see a crackpot on TV, we see cheap amusement. A slow news day. A good idea (balance) gone horribly wrong.

But for those who believe the crackpot, it's validation. He must be an authority on the subject, why else would the BBC be talking to him?

We're so hell-bent on fairly representing both sides, that we start to forget that the counter to a fact, is a falsehood. Two political commentators may have contrasting viewpoints. Two sports pundits may have differing opinions on who the next transfer should be.

But the counter-point to actual fact is fiction.

You indeed make very good points. I was hesitant to making the cockpit analogy but I did say that this NOT how Apple should design their UI. I was merely pointing out the other end of the spectrum in UI design space.

Everything you’re saying is absolutely true. UI design for masses is different than for a fighter pilot. I think Apple Music app is one of the worst even considering for the masses. Just look at their competitor - Spotify and learn from how they’ve designed for the masses. Apple Music arguably fails at meeting the basic UI expectations from a company, ironically, that values design immensely.

This leads to an interesting dilemma: Suppose there are multiple immortality technologies, such as mind-uploading, cryo-preservation, and so forth. How do you choose? What if there emerge hundreds of competing processes?
There seem to be two scenarios:

1) the third party company blocks sketchy transactions

2) the third party cuts off customers that are deemed 'not profitable' because they return too many items

The first scenario seems perfectly reasonable. The second is evidence of a far more scary direction things could be going in. Fender bender in that rental car? No more Avis rentals. Had to negotiate that medical bill? No more medical care at this facility.
Yeah, for every experiment / example / specimen we know of that changes some function F of the mind, it rules out the possibility of F being performed 'elsewhere' and the results simply being received.

We're at the point now where your 'receiver' is doing basically all the work and, if it's connected to anything else, that thing just supplies formless 'mojo' that has no identifiable effect on the working of the mind.
Just a guess — enterprise firewalls commonly block "remote code execution" as a category.
I'm probably the better person to answer these questions, since I'm the one who designed the anti-abuse measures in question.

I'm o.k. with it here. It might even ruin the site if money was even offered to Moderstors.

That said, I don't like when people/companies exploit human nature. Most of us want to help, learn, or just communicate.

My biggest gripe is when a dude is filthy rich, and it's usually a man; and they just cheap everything out.

The thinking is awalys, I built it, and I'm not breaking any law.

It goes double for companies who set up shop in the closest hole to save few bucks.

Yes--no man made laws were broken, but morals/ethics--morals I was brought up with were broken.

It get's worse every decade, and very few call these guys out. Instead, they are put on pedastools?

Actually, clever hypocrites have seized on to the problem, but even at over a year (418 days), nothing is changing. I don't need to mention the charlatan.

I see the selfishness everywhere. It's just greed wrapped up in different, clever packaging.

And I know we're not suspose to comment on how the upper class (God--I don't know why they are called upper class.) think.

All I know is they have abused their position, a position of influence because of their wealth, to a disgusting level.

I am forced to live among them. I give them half smiles. I'm polite.

I have zero respect for them though. And when they do decide to give a bit back; they can't just give. They need to micromanage the "gift", or put their name on it. They just can't give.

And I'm not just picking on tech/manufacturers. I see it everywhere. I usually just have to follow the money to find the rat.

I'm not in a good mood? Everytime I tell my version of what I'm seeing, I feel the need to make excuses. Why? Because I know their will be the usual backlash, and justification--usually by the unpaid/underpaid followers of these guys.
While I think what you say is often true, there is still room for informing people not fully into it.

When I was around 14 I got emersed into various ufo theories and all sort of allegedly "mysterious" things. This all broke down once Wikipedia came around. I went there to learn more about the things I have read, not disprove it. It just turned out that the explanations were way more reasonable in pretty much all cases.

Similarly, I often meet people that just binge watched some YouTube videos and are intrigued by then, not completely convinced.

Personally I would like if YouTube included Wikipedia articles in every video as a general service, not just focused on conspiracy theories. There is plenty of incorrectness in other videos as well.

It could potentially be wrapped in a plugin.

When presenting designs, in some situations you may want to show rough sketches and not high fidelity (or people focus on details rather than the big picture). Something like that would allow me to easily toggle between high fidelity to rough state.
which is still better than no advice at all.

It's good to know there are bad practices out there, and the doc team should update the doc and show how to avoid bad practice.

Sorry but you have to get lucky, too. No way you can turn 100 into 250k no way no how unless you are coming out on the good side of the luck factor.

Legally obligated by what? Aren't people deported back to their country of origin all the time. They don't want to take them fine, deny their citizens visas and entry then, until they do.

> Congress passed a law barring the transfer of those prisoners to stateside facilities from Guantanamo,

Ok fair point, you're right about that. Why make strong promises then?

> US would have been within its rights to execute these individuals

That's a bit disturbing. At that level what rights are we talking about. US had been droning people including American citizens, so sure they could have taken them back and shot them. So we should be glad they didn't. Great, I guess?
Where do you store the trust from all those people to be able to query the statistics? That's just another central point of failure.
While my policy might seem similar to theirs, were I in their shoes, I wouldn't be trying to promote content just for generating comments.

> How safe is Singapore public transportation and walking?

Extremely safe. Even the whiniest people in Singapore (and that's a high bar to clear) will never say that Singapore is unsafe.

Once in a while I see videos of cars not stopping in front of a pedestrian crossing. These posts result in a universal condemnation.

Also note that the UK-style pedestrian crossings include a buffer space next to the actual crossing.

In terms of public transportation, you have the subway (MRT), the light rail (LRT), and the buses. All new, and most of the MRT plus LRT are automated.

Additional aspect is drink-driving. The alcohol is also heavily taxed (almost Demolition Man style: "x is not good for you. What's not good for you is illegal") and the way the government views drugs is clarified in the disembarkation cards saying "Death to drug traffickers" (and they actually mean it), and with the combination of high availability of public transport complemented with cheap taxis / ride-sharing and low availability of intoxicating the DUI is pretty much non-existent.

In the US, the sidewalks are scarce in many places. But that's pretty unique, you don't need to go to Singapore to see streets with normal sidewalks.
Unique and creepy or invasive are two different things.
looks great, especially classroom feature.. congrats :)
The developers I know who have removed their Apple Watch support have done so simply because there are just so few users that it's a poor investment of development time. I don't know if all those sold Apple Watches are sitting in drawers or being used as pure fitness trackers or what, but people just aren't using apps.
