No that's not how ISO works. The Canon ME20F-SH shoots high definition video at professional video shutter speeds and has an available ISO range of 800 to 4,560,000. At $20,000 I'm not suggesting that this exact camera would be appropriate for use in autonomous vehicles, but I am pointing out that video systems can now exceed the capabilities of human eyes.

There are a number of video samples shot on the Canon ME20F-SH on YouTube. In these one can see that under low light situations the camera is shooting at ordinary video speed (the camera supports shutter speeds from 24 to 60 fps). I'm not trying to push the Canon ME20F-SH; I don't have any association with Canon. The manual for this camera is available on-line if you'd like to read up on it: [1].

The actual exposure of a video frame or image depends upon the f-stop of the camera's lens (aperture), the shutter speed, and the ISO of the image sensor. See [2].

Basically, each doubling or halving the shutter speeds corresponds to one "full-stop" in photography. Each full stop of exposure doubles or halves the amount of light reaching the sensor. Changing the aperture of the camera's lens by full stops also doubles or halves the amount of light reaching the sensor. Full stops for camera lenses are designated as f1, f1.4, f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6, etc.
The light sensitivity of the film or sensor is also customarily measured in full stops. Very slow fine grained color film is ISO 50 and is usually used in full sunlight. ISO 100 is a bit more flexible and ISO 400 used to be considered a "fast" film for situations where more graininess would be acceptable in exchange for low light situations. Each doubling of ISO number corresponds to a full stop. So a photo take with ISO 400 at f2 with 1/1000 second shutter would have the same "brightness" as a picture taken at ISO 100 at f2.8 with 1/125 second shutter (less 2 stops ISO, less 1 stop aperture, and plus three stops shutter speed). Naturally, other factors come into play, the behavior of film or digital sensors at extremely slow or extremely fast shutter speeds isn't linear, there are color differences, and noise issues too. See [3] if you are interested in more about how photography works.

I'd highly recommend picking up 'Understanding Analysis' by Stephen Abbott for self study. Beginner friendly and easy to digest yet rigorous. I can't think of a specific strategy but trying to visually understand the core concepts like convergence, continuity etc could be of help.
Basically yes, the financial system is moving towards more of a whitelisting approach when it comes to cash.
Kim Stanley Robinson's works have been steadily drifting in the direction of despair and apocalyptic scenarios. By now he probably regrets writing the Mars trilogy -- his deepest sympathies having drifted more and more towards his few characters who radically opposed the establishment of human civilization there.

On a side note, I find it interesting that he asserts that the ideal level of CO2 is at 350 ppm. I'd like to understand why one should want it so low, since dipping to 150 ppm would cause massive land-based extinction of plants.
"Money laundering" is an oxymoron - the entire essence of money is that it is fungible. When you tie the value of some dollars to their supposed history, what you are left with is subjective points that vary based on the political connections required to redeem them. At that point, why not just stop pretending that an individual can have means independent of their standing with the bureaucracy?

Like every new regulation, the outrage driving this will be stoked using the egregious examples of powerful criminals, but the actual effects will only ever be felt by the little guy.
Have you seen what the new cheap SLA machines can do? Several ~$500 machines out now with 47 micron X-Y resolution, using phone LCDs for the UV mask. Wanhao D7, Anycubic Photon, etc. Not sure if it's quite good enough for watch movements but they're certainly capable of much finer details than any FDM machine including the very expensive ones. In principle they should even be capable of finer details than the $3500 SLA Form2 which has 140 micron laser spot size.

I'll educate them myself. I'm currently looking to design a lesson plan built around songs with lyrics encoding the lessons. I'd also like to design the interior of my home to help them develop intuive visualizations of concepts.

Not enrolling them means educating them about how humanity:

• goes through cultural phases, sometimes cyclically

• is currently in a transitional phase between creating legal systems that don't recognize the freedom to choose any strategy to meet a fundamental need for life (eg. the freedom from money) and creating legal systems that do.

• changes through culture, so what we do with our lives can be considered a voting system

• is going from a point in time where programming ourselves on the individual level is done intuitively without explicitly defining the mathematics of doing so to a point where we can use category theory of the brain & mind to explicitly define models we're using to program ourselves

• is going through a period where we don't see how we can cooperate without laws to a period where we can start defining culture-driven, decentralized ways of life

• periods are identifies by the messages within their culture and the actions those messages lead to and stem from

• old periods use shame, blame, criticism, judgment, anger, scarcity, control, and other forms of denying needs in their actions/messages

• can make up and choose whatever messages to believe, on an individual and collective level

• can learn through our example

• can learn to accept that helping someone materially can be repaid emotionally/physically/mentally/spiritually/socially, so material possessions aren't necessary

• is comprised of individuals who experience a world they're modeling based on what they sense and perceive, so anytime they say anything, it's to a person in their head and not the real person, so nothing is personal

The primary focus will be on self-programming skills and studying how human needs naturally emerge from a basic definition of life (http://bigthink.com/ideafeed/mit-physicist-proposes-new-mean...).

I'm packaging all this as a religion of absurdity devoted to helping the world through hacking the self. It's a choose-your-own-religion religion. The reason for making it into a religion is because that's what happens when we radically decentralize: everyone governs themselves how they like, including what beliefs they choose and laws that follow. I'm be curious to see how it stands up against current religious legal theory in the US, as well as around the world.

If I teach my kids this stuff and we talk about the needs they're meeting or trying to meet through their actions, we can diagram it all out and reason about things in a clearer way.

Or at least that's the hypothesis I'm testing through experimenting on my kids in this way.
Sounds good. I call dibs on being in the half that gets to live.
Do NOT read Rudin. He is terse and unless you are already well versed in mathematics it is simply incomprehensible.

My recommendation would be Spivak’s calculus. There are a million great exercises and the book is beautifully typeset and overall a pleasure to read. Don’t let the title fool you, there are analysis exercises in there.
This data seems weird to me because it look like positive well-being is correlated with suicide. The states in their top quintile like Montana and Colorado are also top states for suicide. So either their survey method biases against people who are about to kill themselves, or well-being as they define it isn't enough to live for.

As a couple of people point out in the comments, this is an explanation of needlessly complex machinery for achieving better bundling. If you're using a bundler that understands reasonably current technology (ES modules) like webpack (4), Rollup, etc., it "just works" if you use the alternative lodash-es packaging. A few years ago it may have been reasonable and necessary to pick up something like a specific webpack plug-in to use a specific library efficiently, that seems "retro" in 2018. We should all raise our expectations.

Here's an example of lodash-es in use, this is in a Angular example program but there is nothing Angular specific about the use of lodash.

I don't particularly miss the jack. I lost the jack when i went to a 7+ in 2016.

Personally on the go I use a decent bluetooth headphone, and have done for the past 2 years. At home I use a proper amplifier set up for my headphones.

If I do wish to listen with a wired set the cheap dongle provided by apple is good enough, and if I want better amplification I'll strap a portable headphone amp to it.

I'm a bit of an outlier however, most people prefer to use one set of headphones across all their stuff - I have quite a few sets...

Edit: however I do lament the choice being taken away from me.
"a whole bunch of dumb little shell scripts"

This is definitely my duct tape. I am neither a developer nor a sysadmin, just a dumb end user. When something cannot be written using only shell builtins, I use a relatively small set of external programs in my dumb scripts, utilities that would be found on most UNIX install media.

If I had the skills I would write many of these in a compiled language, i.e. C or in assembler. As a non-programmer, I have found fasm to be the most useful e.g. its ability to easily call C libs, but I also keep coming back to inline asm as I like the extra bit of control over registers that if offers. I use a small, old assembly level debugger that I prefer over gdb.

History suggests more than a few well-regarded projects originally began life/were prototyped as shell scripts. (I would bet most readers are using at least one today.)

Even though I lack the knowledge and experience of a career programmer, I do not feel ashamed for using Almquists shell to test ideas. Though I certainly understand the use of the word "dumb". However the truth, no matter how "dumb", is that shell builtins are faster than most of the other scripting languages I have tried, and not just in theory.

For some of these dumb little shell scripts, I have managed to replace them with compiled programs (often with the help of flex/yacc), but most are beyond my C/asm "implementation skills".

The point is that if a C programmer came to me, an end user, asking for ideas of what "new" or "missing" utilities they could write (not sure if thats what the author is describing), I could supply a lengthy list. Double digits, maybe even triple.

As I understand it, programmers want people to use their software. Given that I use many of these dumb little shell scripts every day, I could guarantee at least one loyal end user.

I also coincidentally re-read Crime and Punishment a few months ago and was also struck at how differently I saw it today than as a college student.

I would be interested to understand how you came to the conclusion that he argued for both sides? I saw a scathing repudiation of the socialist utopians of the era (and 'rational' ideologues of all sorts). He 'argued' their sides too, but with the goal of making them appear ridiculous. By the time Raskolnikov's fictional essay about the "extraordinary" comes up, i think it's pretty clear what Dostoyevsky is trying to say. Though that's just my interpretation.

You don't have to go from "left-wing hacker collective" right to Stalin if there's data readily available on the actual subject being discussed.

Sure, they're good for his business. Tariffs are generally good for the industries they protect, at the expense of consumers, because prices will rise in that industry. So one industry and it's employees receive protection from foreign competition, but consumers "pay for it" on the backend with higher prices.
Wow. One of the people working on this is a former security guy at Intel. Makes me wonder if meltdown and specter were engineered into chips on purpose.
It's funny, in considering to delete my FB, I had to wonder, "will Tinder still show my picture if my FB is deleted?"
Good point. I'm an Apple fan in some ways, but all the 'good' stuff kind of rings hollow in light of what you pointed out.

Can anyone give me a reason to understand why Apple would do this that isn't just about the 'bottom-line'?
Not so much unpalatable as irrelevant? Using a descriptor like "left wing" to ignore people's actual politics and go straight to accusing them of being Stalinists?
(And "tweet" still does not feel like "a word" in the way that "toot" does. I would want to see a survey done, as a random dictionary is not how you define if a word exists, to the extent to which a word can exist at all.)
When you make a policy of about avoiding the education system and then you use “there community,” it kind of weakens your point.

And capitalism? You aren’t going to enroll them in capitalism? How’s that work? You’re not going to let them buy things or work for money?

Before you try to “facilitate” education for your future children, it might be a good idea to facilitate your own education first.
This doesn’t really tell me anything about each network. There’s just a paragraph of free association about them as a physical place, usually with a bunch of misspellings. Presumably you’ve read through the info of each network; synopsize them and tell us what existing corporate site each one is most trying to work like?

I agree...I think those are things we're culturally taught, typically implicitly and not explicitly.

And I don't assume to have an understanding of your upbringing. That's why I was posing it all as questions. The points I made are things I think can potentially hinder learning and are commonplace in society.

In the article, it mentions subsidizing commodities is an acceptable free trade practice that perhaps helps everyone giving Americans cheaper goods. What Americans are saying is unfair is China's blatant and state backed assault on intellectual property as well as strict limits on foreign companies. It is China's strict laws that exclude the world's tech companies and create their own markets for their own companies. These antifree trade practices benefit China at the expense of the rest of the world. That is what is unfair
I think a low cost EDM would be perfect for fabricating small watch parts. Stupid accurate, no forces on the cutting head, could easily be desktop sized (at least for a work area of a few cm) and very quiet. Can only cut metal, but that's a pretty decent compromise I think.
The issue of resource allocation is complex and would take much research to get close to a proper direction.

I was just responding to this paragraph:

> Needless to say, I am also very skeptical of identifying gifted students at a young age. IMO society over-values so called natural talent, and trying to find that talent in an 8 year old is silly, with rare exception.
Yes, and it would be great to keep it that way. But unfortunately, some say there are plans to adopt more "web tech", maybe Electron... I hope that day never comes.
I'm also curious about it. I think it makes great sense for services that target developers as their main audience, but I don't see it used a lot in the wild.
Presumably you're just referring to the public profile? Public profiles can already be accessed for any user without their agreement (at least manually), so it's not extra information provided through FB login. See my second sentence for that caveat.

While the political priorities of telecoms, oil companies, the pharmaceutical cartel, and banking continue to set the political agenda. Sure, that makes sense.

I disagree with all your points. This would imply that no one has ever destroyed evidence. You are also implying they are acting rationally. You are also projecting US laws onto the U.K.

> The only way to possibly way to square destruction of evidence with rational thinking is the possibility of CA having engaged in things worse than currently known.

Why are you assuming that this is unlikely rather than most likely?

This book made proof based math approachable for me. There are mechanical aspects to proofs that are probably best practiced in a structured way and this book does that by also acquainting you with set theory.

That doesn't really matter, I think. AFAICT, CA was merely a shell company and figurehead for SCL Group. I think what will just happen is SCL will found another shell company and keep on going as usual.
Nothing is "inevitable". Laws are constructs of society, ultimately. Cutting hands for stealing, death penalty for smoking marijuana, forcing people to not use end-to-end encryption - it can all be undone by a vigilant and activist society.

If everyone has a self-defeatist "inevitable" attitude on the other hand...

I am deeply moved by reading some of the stories of open source maintainers. I think everyone wants to listen more the from these heroes who are empowering today's digital infrastructure. We need to take the word out.

Any open source project maintainer/contributor want to tell us What are the pain points for open source project maintainers and contributors?
I don't understand what this site does. It appears to be a list of federated social networks (if a very "heavy" and overdone one, but cool), but on the "Fediverse" page (which I guess is the "About" page?) there's a buried and unlinked "Join Fediverse!" call to action with no details about what that might mean. Can anyone provide insight about who this is for and what problem(s) it's supposed to solve?
Nice try, FBI
Without other evidence pointing to deliberate design of the flaws, it's reasonable to think that an expert on security would be hired by Intel for that expertise on security, and that they would also be someone tapped to be in a high-level group that would be looking into security issues for the government. You can definitely disagree with the goals of the Justice Department and those involved in this matter without also attributing deliberately introducing flaws that resulting in Meltdown and Spectre.
