And Dragonfly 44 is only dark matter ...

http://www.wired.co.uk/article/dark-matter-galaxy-dragonfly-...

If there are many galaxy collisions like the Bullet Cluster, which separate dark from visible, then it's not surprising that many such pure galaxies exist, and their creation cannot be unknown (except for the purposes of melodramatic popsci quotes).
"armalite" auto completes and even helpfully suggest the AR15, the exact weapon used in all the most spectacular massacres.

Air contains water. The amount it contains is defined by pressure, temperature and availability.
It depends on your reality of course. It might be the physical reality, whatever that is. Or your own-er reality which might not be logical for example. There are things invariant between realities of course, like the physical experiment and mathematics.

But if your reality upholds logic, you'd have to be very careful as not to take any consequence of your usage of the Fourier transform to be a part of your reality or its description. In which case why use it at all?

Using it is, like I said, an ontological commitment inviting infinities into your system. You may not ascribe them physical meaning, or may renormalize them out, but you can't deny them (do try! though attempts at mathematical ultrafinitism are plagued by problems, whereas finitism, or various less purifying forms of constructive mathematics lead to infinities in just slightly different places).

What you may deny is the reality of the description (that is of you perceiving your reality) whatsoever as Fictionalists do.
The corporate argument is that advertising pays for the content while consumers pay for distribution. So the Netflix equivalent is your ISP price (distribution) + Netflix subscription (content).

In practice, media consolidation is just shafting consumers with more ads and service costs... both due to regulations that protect inefficiencies and sheer corporate greed.

Does anyone know what this feature actually entails? iMessage on my Macs has always synced for at least a year, including SMS (non-iMessage) messages sent from my phone.
Sure thing. I was primarily answering the question above - in terms of how the numbers in the TPC-C benchmark fit in. I updated my comment to reflect the cost.

I think what's interesting with TPC-C is that you can sort the results based on performance or price/performance. On the price/performance metric, SPARC looks expensive. Dell has a $20K SQL Anywhere cluster that can do 113K tx/min.

I wonder if anyone tried to run these benchmarks on the cloud and how one would calculate total cost of ownership there now.

This is demonstrated at my neighbor's house where he accesses the lamps in his living room through an app where they're labeled "Bedroom Lamp #1," "Living Rom Lmap," and something like "Living Room Lamp #3" because at some point the furniture got rearranged and lamps ended up in different rooms after being associated with the app.

He's a smart(ish) guy, but can't figure out how to rename them.

Uber seems very actively hostile to its employees, drivers, and riders.

It's kind of impressive in a bad way.
That approach sounds wrong to me: bristles breaking off is pretty rare already, and inspecting the barbecue for bristles is only as good as your ability to pay attention while doing it, while not finding anything most of the time. People often overestimate their ability to pay attention, because the cost of missing something is usually low and the consequences manageable. People's intuition regarding very rare events is also pretty bad in general. So attention would be the limiting factor, which is why it still seems unsafe.

Also, I felt like the goal is to avoid having a portion of your intestine removed, not really so much to save time.

There are some important features I think are being overlooked.

1. Business chat
Now talking to a business is integrated on your phone.

2. Apple music now doesn't have ads? This might just kill Spotify's ad revenue from their free tired users. The only thing holding people ball is the playlists that people have made AFAIK.
I enjoyed the movie, and assumed much of it was dramatized.

For me, the most memorable moment in the movie was when (IIRC, it's been a while) Kroc tightens his grip on the quality control at the restaurants, and introduces disposable bags, plates, and utensils. There's a short scene of people's initial stunned, disbelieving reaction to disposables: "You're just supposed to throw it away?"

That small scene really stuck with me as kind of indictment of modern waste. Today we don't think twice about throwing away a cup we drank out of for 20 seconds. In the past such waste was shocking and absurd.
Yeah, like the child sexual abuse trials of the 80's. The children were fed facts that were later presented as information in the trial obtained from the children.

I do think this is the central question the retrial should deal with.

What I was thinking of is using Kodi as the base for an open smart TV platform. It already has good integration of live broadcast TV (including EPG etc) and many add-ons for streaming services. Of course, to make consumers happy, there needs to be a way to support DRM, otherwise there won't be Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. But Kodi announced last year that they're discussing about allowing DRM add-ons to talk with the application: https://kodi.tv/article/dev-journal-kodi-and-drm
In my experience, this always has been the case - unfortunately :-(

In a similar vein, Amazon refused to publish an Alexa skill I wrote to control Kodi (basically a voice remote). They cited piracy as the only reason. When I'd press them on why they allowed one for Plex since they are both just video players, they would just refuse to acknowledge the question and deny me again.

It's their right to do so, but it's stupid and defies logic.
You're really certain about something you can't possibly be certain about, but putting that aside, you're also misreading motives for interest in his case by many. I don't know if he's guilty or not, I just care that our justice system holds itself to an acceptable standard, which it did not in this case. "Ah reckon" isn't the standard, but "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is. "Who else could have done it" is a poor standard, and yet the one that seems to have been employed in this case.

For people who care about how the system works, or doesn't work, this is an important distinction. In essence, it has little to do with the guy himself, and more to do with how the system failed him. If he's guilty, lets actually prove it as we're supposed to, and then we can all get on with our lives.

>Command Query Responsibility Segregation is a software pattern that divides the system into two distinct parts, an append-optimised command side and a read-optimised query side.

My point was about the "append-optimised" part. Of course the blockchain can be arbitrarily fast to query but you can only make about 5 transactions (or "inserts") per second on the bitcoin blockchain on average. Not very impressive as far as DBs are concerned.

I'm surprised the author didn't consider a finite number of states when mapping the concepts back to physics. Feels like infinity performs a useful function in mathematical reasoning, but there is no reason to believe anything we can really see or measure is boundless. None of this has any bearing on the mathematics, which are interesting.
I love the frontend markup in Lisp. Honestly, it's exciting to see a developed web application in Lisp outside of a standard web framework (granted these are all just files without context).

I feel that the syntaxlessness of the Lisp makes it fun to see how different people approach writing the same thing in a way that is a lot more reminiscent of creative writing than software.

This is super cool!

There is nothing different about quitting a job at a brand name than most other places except in people asking you "You worked for WHO? WHY?????" And issues regarding bonuses and stock award vests.

When you suspect some intermediate in the paper chain to exchange eco paper for cheaper ordinary paper, how does distributing the information that he has X rolls on store prevent this scenario.
Yes. Thanks for the explanation.

For upvoting, no. The mods can apparently see whom I upvote, but upvotes are otherwise anonymous. I don't hesitate to upvote good comments, even in cases where there is a history of personal friction.

There are people on the site where it makes absolutely no difference what I do, replying to them will go sideways. I make a mental note of those names and check for them and usually just don't reply to them. I don't need the drama.

Once in a while, that changes. But change is typically slow and involves gradually renegotiating the relationship. It takes two people working together to make that happen. It doesn't work for me to try to do that unilaterally. There has to be some signal from their end that we are both trying to sort this out.

It is uncommon to get such a signal from a person once there is a negative history.

Aside from the fact that proof-of-work on a world scale utterly defies the CAP theorem, there has never been an economic system that can scale to the level of, say, one order of magnitude close to ubiquity where there are no trusted intermediaries. Human civilizations just won't organize this way.
I still don’t understand how you can use basic data structure in assembly. I know strings are just allocating a blob of bytes and usually reserving the last for null terminator, but what about arrays? Is it just like in C where you allocate a blob of bytes but now you manually calculate where the index is based on item size? What about hash tables, that seems even more confusing... are they just not needed due to the nature of assembly?
It's not bad at all. You can always start with gcc -S to give you assembler output of a compilation, then modify as you want, or compare with the compiler.

As for an ISA, it's not clean but there's only so much you can do to an assembler language, so it's not that bad. And the docs are pretty good.
Hard Choice for Cities Under Cyberattack: Whether to Pay Ransom
I'm on Federal probation, so transfers are based on court district. How it works is that I can get what is called "courtesy supervision" from the receiving district. Both the US Probation Officer in the receiving district and my home district must agree. While I'm under "courtesy supervision" my case is still in my home district, but I can live and travel in the receiving district under the supervision of a PO in the receiving district.

During my currently fruitless job search I've kept my PO in the loop about jobs/locations that could prove fruitful. He and his supervisor have both communicated to me that getting courtesy supervision and then a transfer should not be an issue in my case. They both said that already having a job in the receiving district goes a long way to getting a transfer, since you'll be stable there.

OP is on state probation though, so his situation is different. I would advise him to speak with his probation officer about what his options are in terms of "courtesy supervision". I looked up what the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision says about sex offender transfers [0] and it seems that sex offenders have it worse than other offenders. While non-sex offender transfers are on a "shall issue" basis provided some easily fulfilled prerequisites [1] the sex-offenders are subject to a review period of a maximum of 5 days after which time the receiving state may accept/reject their transfer.

OP, talk to your probation officer about what your options are. A move out-of-state may not be out of the question.

I don’t think he’s innocent, I think there’s not enough info, and people are being intellectually lazy in proclaiming him guilty. It’s a common and dangerous trend in the US and I think it’s one of the reasons why so many innocent people are wrongly convicted.

It is absolutely ridiculous to claim the fingerprints have significance. Fingerprints on a weapon, or her clothes, or even the trunk or door handles are evidence. Fingerprints on a map are meaningless when he had probably been in her car dozens of times before as her boyfriend.
They need a cute mascot, with a name. Then when people go "ew, it has a bug in it's name !!1!" we can say, "Aw, what's wrong with bugs? You're making Ricky cry."
Correct, it used to work as follows:

- Private mode was enabled by a switch in Safari settings: No cookies/storage in any tabs and in webview controllers

- The switch in settings was then removed, and Private mode is enabled in the tab view in Safari — However, the setting used to carry into app webviews

- There is no longer a way to not be tracked in app webviews. You'll be cookied by apps, and you need to manually clear everything in Safari settings. This is a step backwards from how it used to work.

2: Narration over a dog pulling a human on a skateboard.

Cats... aren't fully domesticated (well, there's debate). I don't remember the source, but I do remember one study looked at how well dogs and cats dealt with life when humans were removed from the equation. IIRC, dogs are iffy. Sometimes they do okay, but a lot of their behaviors have evolved for cohabitation with humans, so don't work as well when humans are removed and a pack functions purely with dogs. Cats have much less problems, and it was claimed this was because of their only partial domestication.

Another way of looking at it is that being a pet does not infer domestication. I can have a pet rat, rabbit, hamster or one of many different species of bird. That doesn't mean that species is domesticated (it may have a natural timidness that lends itself well to being a pet, at least more than an aggressive animal might). That's not to same some level of domestication may not have been achieved with some breeds of those animals (e.g. rabbits).

Ok, I understand what you mean now. I will still go on record as saying that, regardless of how strong you believe in something, you shouldn't take pay cuts to do it, especially given the record startups have for shafting employees. One really only has about 40 years to earn all the money they're going to earn, and that time can go by rather quick.

You program a modern x86 in almost a RISC esque way with a couple of exceptions. For instance if you're just doing a read-modify-write that can be done in one instruction, that's preferred. You can do all of the work only allocating physical register file resources without allocating any architectural registers.
The Cloned iterator clones the elements of the underlying iterator, but only on-demand, so obviously it can't do that once the argument isn't live anymore.
Except that Bitcoin was mostly minted by a small group of users who simply horde it, hoping to sell it to other users who due to the software will not be able to generate it for as low cost as the early users.

It's zero sum (minus the cost wasted in maintaining the network), and the game theory Satoshi designed will inevitably disincentive new users from adopting it as the barrier to entry increases and alternative options will likely obsolete BTC.

It’s a bigger divide when we go across teams. Most programmers distinctly look down upon sysadmins and as a sysadmin and developer I really have to say that the sheer number of former blue collar workers that became sysadmins compared to developers does not help the perception. But more importantly, a lot of engineers have a sheer disdain for sales as if they don’t work hard and the same goes back even further where engineering students look down often on most liberal arts students (never mind that the liberal arts and business students are the ones that they’ll be working for probably statistically speaking).
That's fair, and there's nothing compelling you (if you were Netflix) to even make them available to Apple to sell. There can absolutely be market reasons to do this, but if you were a farmer with a farm stand next to a grocery store who sold corn for $3 and allowed the grocery store to sell "Corn grown by Touche, also for sale out the door and around the corner for $3" at a price of $200... there isn't anything illegal there, but it's stupid.

You might do this because you get the occasional sale through the grocery market (convenience) and the grocery market would probably be happy to participate if it only had to settle up when an actual sale occurred... but I think reasonable people looking at this situation could all agree that it's stupid.
