burning them to death for heresy

Do you have any examples of actual burning? Of someone who was going around enlightening and got burned for science.

Only example I know, Giordano Bruno was as much a scientist as today's theologians and Templeton-sponsored cosmologists; got on the hook for spreading pantheism. Galileo and Copernicus besides not being burnt were also wrong. Church decided to shun them not because of their philosophy (unlike Bruno they were doing surprisingly little theology for the ire that met them), but calculations rightly evaluated to be wrong. In case of Galileo also obnoxious activism asking for persecution. The heresy part came in because of dogma that proper science is god-inspired and thus should be at least somewhat reasonable, which this stuff wasn't at the time (recall, Newton was an alchemist first, the first scientist a second). I can perfectly imagine stuff like this going on in today's groupthink grant system, between suicides of tenured faculty and Prasher turned taxi driver despite Nobel-grade work.

ideologically motivated

Do you realize that this is tautological? Where do you think ideologies come from if not from reason? Do you, in your arbitrary intelligence, realize that every presumption came to be for a reason? Phenomenon of tradition illustrates that pretty well, even if original reasoning was lost.
touché! You're bringing up a good point. It might actually not be someone, but just a poorly built internet eco-system.

No, I just expected them to be better, more like an ebook than a crappy PDF. If I could move the textbooks to my daughter's iPad I would, but they're licensed and I haven't tried to work around the DRM.
They are likely intimidated by you; imagine they see skills in your CV than make them feel inferior and likely worried you might either take their job or get promoted higher faster. People are that selfish. Just remove your other field qualifications from your CV, start a "consulting company" in Delaware for 500 bucks for a year, list it as your employer, and you'll be hired.
It's pretty hilarious, at least with the ones who aren't blaming the victim, watching autonomous car fans use the "see, it was too dark out!" excuse for this incident. This excuse is either maliciously dishonest, or and indicator that the apologists don't actually understand anything about the technology they're rushing to defend.

I wonder if this is why they axed all of their "firearms sales"

https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/21/reddit-bans-communities-...

The social site has updated its policies to ban
the trade of firearms, explosives, drugs (including
alcohol and tobacco), services with "physical sexual
contact," stolen goods, personal info and
counterfeits. Accordingly, Reddit has shut down
numerous subreddits that either directly traded
in these goods or were clearly meant to enable those
exchanges, including r/gunsforsale, r/stealing (yes,
it existed) and r/darknetmarkets.

Perhaps they were taking a broad interpretation of something in the legal language.
The madness won't stop untill people learn to not click random attachments if you ask me...

The problem isn't per se randomware, the problem is people not knowing better than to click anything and everything they see or am I mistaken?
Anything, as long as it has managed Kubernetes. It lets your applications be (somewhat) cloud-independent. Of course if you use value added services (AWS APi Gateway, GCP PubSub etc.) this is less useful, but if you're just running containers on Linux this is truly the future.
I was curious as to whether Ada had met Florence Nightingale, and it appears they were good friends.

Whichever provider gives you the most credits. Seriously, all the clouds are cheap, and provide basically the same service. I would say AWS is more configurable than the rest, but GCE is probably easier to use.

In terms of stability AWS is probably the winner. GCE has had a multi-region failure within the last ~2 years, AWS hasn’t seen a multi-region failure in the last decade.
Giving the visceral comments and opinions on Facebook, those that probably saw ads were already committed to one candidate or another. There is rarely a discussion on the internet where someone is convinced to switch to a different candidate/party. I doubt an advertisement would get someone to switch.

However, if there were bots and trolls posting inflammatory content that motivated voters that would have other wise stayed home - that could have influenced turnout and an election. If those bots and trolls were funded by a foreign government, then that is even more concerning.

I would like to see 'mainstream media' focus more on that part of it, this Cambridge Analytica company sounds like they were really good at taking campaign money.
That's equating unemployment with vacation.

And that's overlooking how hard mundane existence was: heat required collecting firewood, cooling was opening a window, cooking was over open indoor fires, food was hard to preserve, beds were scratchy/lumpy/hard, clothing was hand-made mostly from raw wool (clean, spin thread, weave, hand sew) so wardrobes were sparse, water was often dirty & diseased (beer was more necessity a la purified water than entertainment), etc.

Hence the point: the notion of "they had more vacation than we do" is a non-sequitur when our "work" would appeal to them as "luxury vacation", and their "vacation" was prolonged unemployment with few resources. You wouldn't trade your "work" for their "vacation".
Aren't good old QtWidgets supported just fine on Android and iOS, just like they were on Maemo and even Symbian?
Are you asking this as someone who's already in retirement, enjoying what's left of the simple pleasures or are you still working like the typical American and planning for retirement?

It's sort of like most people turning their noses when someone (used to; now it's different) said they were starting a business: "Oh, well what happens when you fail and can't get a job? How will you ever be able to live then?" People find a way and it sounds like the people the poster was referencing, know themselves well enough to make their decisions. While on the other hand, comparing people to the "norm" many times comes from someone who doesn't know themselves and their wants well (or ignores them), and uses the norm as their gauge for "success," or what have you. For a subset of people, retirement isn't something they want or even need. One of the sentiments I hear often from those still working in older age, "What, retire? Now? I've been working my entire life, what the hell am I gonna do in retirement besides die?" or "60 years of doing shit I didn't want, so I could enjoy 15 doing only the things my body allows now."

Life's short. If you want to do things, do them. The only reason you don't is because you live in fear. There will always be drawbacks to going against the status quo, but that's the price you pay to get what you want.
Fair enough. Thank you for the reply and insight.

My point is, there are more people now openly able and willing to approach prostitutes who think "shut up and do what I say because I'm paying you [you low life worthless being who has to sell you body to make a living]". I'm not saying all people who use or are okay with prostitution think this, just that the supply of people who think this and act this way now find themselves able to openly go to prostitutes (where as the law, and fear of it, kept these assholes from using prostitutes before).
This is very true. I remember around 2005-06 when they publicized black Friday as a proof by fire of their technology, pretty much daring the internet to bring their site down with huge deals all at the same time. And it was amazing that their website kept working. After that it seems like they realized they could sell the idea of automatically, infinitely scaling infrastructure, but it wasn't at all obvious from the outside.
The videos that show everything super bright look like they have their high beams on, whereas the Uber video looks like the standard headline mode. Although I can not be completely sure. If that is the case it is apples-to-oranges.
Crazy that this gets downvoted.

Telegram is ran by Russian oligarchs that built the local equivalent of facebook. Telegram was developed in the st. Petersburg offices of the local facebook equivalent.

Telegram developers have deliberately made encrypted conversations impossible to use, despite selling their app on it’s “encryption”. Telegram developers also choose to use pretty questionable crypto, why?

Why are people so inclined to trust Telegram?
Depends on your needs. Some larger organizations will have multiple providers for business continuity, multi region is not enough. The smaller organization might decided on a cloud , solely based on pricing. AWS is the giant, followed by Azure and GCE is 3rd. Depending on your orchestration tools, why choose one :) as long as you don't lock yourself into a specific service, you should be able to switch across cloud compute. If you're not using AWS, get the free trial, kick the tires.
Interesting. Thank you for replying.
Top 9 Data Science Use Cases in Banking
Youtube is a private company, and may as well ban all content that they don't like.

But nothing of this wold be an issue, if they stop being brick heads, and made a better algorithm to distribute their ads, it would never be am issue. Just ask your sponsors what kind of content they don't want to be associated, and then just don't show this ads in channels with this subjects. There, eberyboth is happy.

Now for gun related content, I really don't whatch in youtube anymore, since the creators don't receive money in there. So I just watch in sites like Full30.

The problem, is that a lot a good channels today, are only in youtube, like C&R arsenal, who is currentlly doing an amazing WWI guns history in great detail.
Anyone using Cloudways ? Any comments ?

> t's much more meaningful to pick a language that fits the main purpose of the program, and not depending on what CLI libraries are available.

It's possible for providing a CLI to be a significant part of the main purpose of the program; e.g., if the program is largely a client CLI for a web service, other than having a language with a reasonably usable web requests library, there's not a lot beside the CLI-building tools guiding the choice.
So because we have it good now we shouldn't seek to do things better?

As far as I know 9 semesters were usual for Diplom in nearly all subjects (note that some degree courses such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law that are more thightly controlled by the government to my knowledge still finish with a Staatsexamen (state examination) degree). The 10 semesters for Diplom in computer science (1 more than usual; 9 are usual) are to my knowledge somewhat unusual in Germany and the reason is that at my university that it was intended (as a pilot project) that you write your bachelor thesis while you do a 6 month internship at a company that does the "daily tasks" of the supervision of the bachelor thesis. For this one additional semester was introduced.
Wow, then I think that I jumped directly to that hoo-haa since I didn't even consider the technique you are describing, I wasn't expecting today learning something from dynamic HTML past of the web. Thanks!
Last time I used their predefined images (a year ago), I found many were severely outdated. Are they any better now?

If you want predefined images, I've found using Docker Hub to be a better starting point even if you don't use Docker.

Aside from that they're a great host.
Exactly, especially considering that this is car by Volvo, manufacturer that quite often demoes it's new features in the are of detecting pedestrians or animals on the the road.
For reference, I found this video over on reddit (from /u/ghdana) of the area. It looks _very_ different with even a cell phone camera.

>The idea that there's a recurring massive problem of false convictions for rape is bizarre

You are talking convictions, the OP seems to be talking Accusations and where the latest trend is to gain a conviction in the court of public opinion and to inflict punishment outside of a judicial system
> “Arizona welcomes Uber self-driving cars with open arms and wide open roads. While California puts the brakes on innovation and change with more bureaucracy and more regulation, Arizona is paving the way for new technology and new businesses. In 2015, I signed an executive order supporting the testing and operation of self-driving cars in Arizona with an emphasis on innovation, economic growth, and most importantly, public safety. This is about economic development, but it’s also about changing the way we live and work. Arizona is proud to be open for business. California may not want you, but we do.”

Why would electric be hard to imagine? Any kid with a set of Hot Wheels new it could work. The problems 10-20 years ago still persist; range and recharge. Battery tech improves slowly compared to other tech.
iOS: Rendering the UI
The Play Store team should not be permitting apps in the store without extreme skepticism of the permissions they request, particularly in certain categories.

The Facebook app should be pulled from the Play Store until its permissions are reduced, but I doubt Google will do it.
And it begs the question: did Uber alter the video?

Will it alter the telemetry, too?

If the Tempe police doesn't get forensics experts on this, they're doing their job wrong. Uber is already known as a company that tends to hide and destroy this sort of evidence.

After some research I created this playlist to help hackers code faster. "Software eats the world", so I hope this playlist will help the world move forward faster. Together we can do it! Hack the planet!
Censorship becomes an interesting tag, plausibly accurate, if the US Government regulates platforms further to such a degree that they make competing with them a lot more difficult, due to compliance cost & risk. That is, if the government effectively protects & entreches the existing giant platforms through regulatory action. Then these entities become something a lot closer to regulated broadcast platforms akin to radio or TV with ABC, NBC, etc. before the advent of expanded media thanks to the Internet.
Thank you for telling me about hermit. I've spent about 10 minutes with it and I'm already considering replacing about 5 apps with hermit versions. It has the type of functionality that IMO should really be standard in Android.

EDIT:one thing I noticed which kills a lot of the appeal for me is cookies appear to be maintained between lite apps
> Senator Rand Paul has said that the Deep State exists. Is he a nut also?

Yes.

"He has cautioned in the past of a plan to create a North American Union with a single currency for the United States, Mexico and Canada, and a stealth United Nations campaign to confiscate civilian handguns. He has repeatedly referred to the “tyranny” of the federal government."

He's a strong libertarian which is, by definition, wackjob territory.
FireFox constantly broke all my extensions with just about every minor update. It was maddening. After being a die-hard FireFox/Netscape/Mozilla user since the 90's, I finally gave up a few years back and switched to Chrome. I can't recall a single time since then when my browser or extensions stopped working because of any update, not just a minor one.

> I am fucking sick and fucking tired of people interfering with the free choice of individuals in any effort to "fix" society and "help" people.

What is shocking is that it is the liberals who are now pushing for more censorship, more control and less individual freedom.

Growing up, it was usually the conservatives/religious who wanted rap, violent video games, blasphemy, etc banned and censored. And their argument was to "protect children, women and society". Now, the push for censorship and control is being spearheaded by the liberals. And just like with the conservatives, it is to "protect children, women and society".

What a sorry state of affairs we are in right now. So disappointing.
Most of the Twitter comments seems to believe the official story based on the released video.
Even if this were true it would look and feel horrible like old Windows Mobile with its tiny start menu and desktop apps you had to peck at with a stylus.
Umm, GCE literally had a total global failure in 2016, AWS has never suffered such an event.
A typical developed world diet that is easiest to become overweight or obese from would have to include extremely calorie dense but nutritionally empty foods; junk food, basically. They’re usually not all that great in terms of nutrients in general, and are basically made whole-cloth via hardcore processing and chemical transformations (quite fascinating really!).

Also, sugar. Can easily dump 30% by weight of sugar into what amounts to edible “plastic” and have it taste “good” as well as being super cheap, but of course, completely lacking in any birdies other than carbs/sugars.
> I had just activated the "shadow" profile they had on me from everyone else...

This is one of the reasons I created (and don't delete) my FB account. I'm not really adding information to the system, can have a view of what it thinks it knows about me, and can (foolishly) attempt to subvert and game it somehow using disinformation.
This can't be a WebAssembly library. Its purpose is to provide access to hardware implementations of face-detection algorithms (with a software fallback). Many phones these days ship with this.
Speaking of established case law, we have from the very first page of Heller [1]:

> The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia... [2]

The Constitution encodes a value judgement about the rights it protects; these rights are presumed to be protected unless it can be shown why they aren't in some specific case. That is to say, to ask someone "how [their] right contribute[s] to the security of the state" is wrongheaded - if you wish to deprive them of their right you must first meet strict scrutiny.

So I think it all really depends on what you're looking to build. From a feature perspective, AWS is much more mature than GCE or Azure but all of those feature come at a price.

As an example, the AWS Lambda ecosystem is much more mature than Google Cloud Functions with a wider language support, Lambda on Edge, API Gateway, etc...

With that being said, my go-to cloud is Google. They support all of the "big" features I need and is priced more fairly - especially for growing businesses. What I really like is how their reservation system works, instead of reserving entire instances, you can reserve cores/ram for a period of 1-3 years. Many business workloads its impossible to project compute needs 1-3 years out, with Google you don't have to because you can apply the cores/ram you reserve in any configuration you want (including GKE which is really nice).
Yes... I'd always been the type of person that ran some kind of server with network services in a DMZ on my home network. Of late I dismantled everything because it just isn’t worth the (perceived) hassle anymore. Most of all, cloud services and so forth have made us lazy.

Sysdig inspect (which does the Forensics in these examples) is open source. https://github.com/draios/sysdig-inspect

You can do the same rule - based activity detection through Falco which is also open source. https://github.com/draios/falco

Note that both of these open source projects originate from Sysdig as well.
I don't know about that, but I imagine the police chief received a lot of advice, whether solicited or not, from Uber's PR, about how to interpret the video.
I think normal people don't decide to touch a stranger's face, child or not.

But if a child - disabled or not - comes up to a person and says hello and reaches out to shake hands, it's not inappropriate to reciprocate.
Worth also noting - there are strong signs that this blacklisting is still continuing, despite the court cases (although not necessarily with involvement from the police) - https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/blacklistin...
I'm not sure Plex would be a good option for sharing stuff with others.
And on that note how many people actually have static IPs these days that allows them to easily host services like that? As the IP shortage worsens expect more carrier grade NATs to pop up.
The lidar should have enough time to detect the pedestrian (who is crossing the road at a leisurely pace) and reduce speed, yet the car doesn't seem to slow down at all. The whole "dark road" narrative doesn't hold a candle, something is seriously wrong with the sensors and/or algorithm.
Tactical note: If your goal is to rally the troops, it's usually good practice not to refer to people as "sheeple" or talk about down-votes.

The media decisions on "what shows up in the news" is well known, but under-reported (for obvious reasons). Whatever shows up in the news is meant to increase the value of these 6 companies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_cross-ownership_in_the_U...) and advance their CEO/boards personal agendas for the United States and world.

If you take what shows up in standard media's headlines as "what's worth talking about" you are playing their game.
Changing the program compatibility setting 'Override high DPI scaling behaviour' may help with this (I haven't tried with Krita yet, but I had a similar problem with Matlab & Simulink which was fixed by this)
I work on an internal service, and my weekly metrics reflect the health of a lot of services. It's more often than not that those metrics look like a printout from a seismograph sitting on an active fault.

I don't know if other cloud providers were impacted, but I'm willing to bet they were not impacted intermittently for 6 hours.
