I'm currently sitting in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. One of the first things you notice when you get here is that there are not bike lanes, not bike paths but very seriously bike roads on either side of the street. These are filled pretty much all the time by people of all ages on their personal bikes. There are no rental bikes anywhere. The moral of this story is that if you want people to bike, build bikeable cities, don't fill sprawled out and hazard filled cities with functionally useless rental bikes.
Why wouldn't he sell? He gets rich.
He will be able to distribute all 5+ TB of media basically for free, and it will scale infinitely. For example with Spotify, music was streaming peeer to peer instead from a central server. Spotify has however gone away from that model, probably because their bandwidth costs are dwarfed by all other expenses like fancy new offices.

Hi, I'm sigalor, the original creator of the project. The reverse engineering was almost entirely done using the Chrome debugging tools. That is, pretty-printing the JS source files, setting breakpoints and stepping through the code for hours. When I started, all of this was incredibly difficult, but the longer you do it, the more you get used to it.
Additionally, the debugging tools also provide you with looking at what is sent through websockets, which makes it rather easy to see which JSON data is sent (e.g. for login).
Not just visually. For a long time, googling for "AV1" would produce mostly results about AVI.
A sample would be nice.
For decoders. Encoder now is very very slow.
That would probably be considered unethical because the expected change would cause harm.

Instead, perhaps you could have group A stop using Instagram and group B continue using Instagram then compare. It would be important to look deeper to see if there are differences within group A between those who and did not replace using Instagram with another social platform.
I rode up Capitol Hill at 4:30PM every day last spring/summer, took me 10-15 minutes to get home from 2nd & Seneca and never had any safety issues. Drivers in Seattle are fairly aware of their surroundings with everyone walking randomly at all times and the city is adding new bike lanes often.

Going up the hill on a Lime, Spin, or Ofo...no way -- you see those at the bottom of every hill.
Depends on the company. You'll find out. If they try to go under your range, you'll learn one of two things: Either they're willing to take advantage of you (in which case you're better off staying away), or that your skills don't support the range you wanted.

Google or Amazon should offer something like this as a paid-for service on AWS or Google Cloud. That way I wouldn't have to worry about my network connection at home going down.

On a different tack, you finished with "If you actually wanted to produce medical professionals in an efficient way, there is no way that you would do it in the way that this currently works in the US."

That is quite true. In the early 1900s the US medical system was revamped specifically to make it harder for people to become doctors. This included making a college education a prerequisite. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_exa...

Only recently have new medical schools been built, after a hiatus of decades. Most of these are still going through accreditation.

Even with more schools, the residency requirement results in the 'jaws of death'. https://physiciansnews.com/2013/02/14/this-chart-is-scaring-...

It's a bit unfair to center the blame on (liberal arts) universities for the degree programs they offer to pre-med students when it's the medical school accreditation program which makes the requirement, and does so to make an inefficient system.

If you want an efficient system, look to Cuba. ELAM has 20,000 students.

Why do we prefer to send troops to other countries instead of medical doctors?
Seems like it isn't only the website, loads of people are reporting routing problems and high pings. No official statement yet.
Frequency matters; masers are much more challenging than lasers, for example. But in any case, a direct laser link can carry enormous amounts of data. Even indirect LED transmission has been shown to viably carry many Gb/s. The challenge, of course, is the aim. It's not that easy to hit a pea that's several thousand of km away. I imagine feedback aiming systems where the vessels steer each other's transmitters, but that requires some amount of surface area for reception and that part doesn't scale as easily as fibers do.
I can believe this - even though as other people mention the study seems poorly designed.

That said I literally just use Instagram for dogs and nothing else. So it’s just a source of joy :)
I'm not disagreeing that this is good content, but doesn't having to reread

Guessing (maybe generously?) at OP's meaning, claims were made in the past about VP8 being royalty free etc, and that turned out to be wrong. It's not clear how much we can trust them this time around.

> does democracy require privacy?

Yes, it absolutely does. The most effective way to fight a political ideology is not meeting it fairly on the marketplace of ideas to fight it directly. If the opponent is allowed to an opportunity to fight, you might lose. To guarantee a win, you have to stop the opposing political ideas before the organize into an ideology that people can support and fight for.

Political movements need time to mature. It's easy to disrupt proto-ideologies if you can identify the people that might bring together separate parts of the social graph before they knit together into a self-sustaining political movement. This is what the FBI did to disrupt civil rights groups under COINTELPRO[1]. This is what GCHQ's JTRIG[2] group is probably doing today.

While the Freedom of Assembly doesn't get as much discussion compared to speech/religion/etc, it's one of the most important rights. Assembling with people in public is how an idea moves into public view. Ideas you only discussed cautiously in private ("in the closet"?) are a lot easier to discuss openly in public when you realize other people have the same beliefs.

Yes, for one thing it was supposed to enable all sorts of clever composable behaviors; a big change in how computers presented themselves to end users. Apple had OpenDoc[1], Microsoft had OLE. You'd be able to just work on some piece of content, with the UI reflecting the capabilities of whatever "objects" you had installed. OLE actually worked (for certain values of 'worked'), not sure OpenDoc ever got off the ground.

> Lastly, a transaction is either voluntary or it is not. There are no degrees of 'voluntary' if you use the word in the conventional sense.

So if I point a gun at your head and threaten to shoot you if you don't hand over your wallet, you would say that you voluntarily handed over your wallet because that was a fair price for keeping your head intact?

Most people mean something different when they use the word "voluntary".

Fascinating article.

For more tree-related weirdness, I recommend doing a Google Image Search for 'banana flower' and just scrolling through the pictures. I realized I'd never seen a banana flower before and they're really quite odd, as is pretty much everything associated with bananas.
Reminds me of a channel I like "Robin Seplut", a Russian man who goes out in the street and feeds cats everyday:

https://youtu.be/933AXPaTkv8

The comments are overwhelmingly positive. His videos are very popular, with quirky titles because of his limited english, no soundtracks, and daily kind gestures feeding starving cats. Just plain positive content.

Re: PeterDraws.. I don't think I've ever seen such a high "thumbs" up ratio with that many total votes.

One thing Youtube allows for, and I see it in both the video you linked as well as the cat video.. is ASMR-type content which serves as a strong antidote for the type of anxiety-inducing social media interactions we see with Instagram and others. I think it's because Youtube (and long form video in general) is a much more expansive medium. It allows for more focused, and slower, engagement vs rapid fire feed scrolling like twitter and insta.

You're right. I misread the comment. My mistake!
There's a difference between targeting people who believe inaccurate things and presenting them with correct information, and finding people who believe inaccurate things and targeting them with even more fake news.

It's just rather difficult to distinguish between the two.

Pay to use forums still have trolls. They also have enough mods to deal with trolls. But paid fora change the relationship between users and mods. People are willing to cut volunteer mods some slack. People paying, even minimally, think it's part of the service and are OUTRAGED when they're subject to mod action.
Hi, I'm sigalor, the original creator of the project.
Actually, now I also regret using Python in addition to NodeJS. When I started all of this back in November, I originally chose Python, because it's, well, "quick and dirty". Especially trimming arrays and working with byte strings requires a lot more code in JS than it does in Python.
I even wrote a reimplementation of the decryption routines in JavaScript, but it's not working entirely (the HMAC authentication of received messages fails, though login works).
Considering Intel, AMD, ARM, Nvidia, Apple, and other hardware companies are all members of the Alliance for Open Media - which is the consortium behind AV1 - I'd expect that work to support it in hardware is already well underway.

In the conventional sense of the word, no, that transaction is clearly not voluntary. And I don't think your example is making the point that you're trying to use it to make.
All of those are quite old sources, and patent claims were refuted. Is there anything newer?
I can't imagine being able to establish multiple spatially separated beams between satellites that are hundreds or thousands of miles apart. If the beam were small enough to not 'paint' the entire receiving satellite, it would be ridiculously sensitive to alignment. Even the tiniest movement would break the link.

Realistically, using optics, I can only see one spatial path to another satellite. You can use various wavelengths of light to establish multiple carriers, and probably get upwards of 1-2 Tb/s of speed. But nothing near what is possible in the same space with fiber optics.

A 288 strand optical fiber cable, with jacket and armor is about 2cm in diameter. And each one of those 288 strands can carry terabits per second of data. It will be a very long time before free-space optics can match that kind of density.
Leela Chess Zero – Open Source “Alpha Zero”
Yes. Space isn't that far away and with a big enough antenna...

Note that satellite phones and so on (tv) work like this in reverse.

USG has been listening to EM signals from space (elint) since the space age began.
In a similar manner as Alpha Zero, Leela is growing by playing games with people and with itself (mostly). It is already a strong expert or low rated master at this point.

Youtube chess (masters) like ChessNetwork and Kingcrusher have videos of them playing it.

I stopped reading at that paragraph. That Zuckerberg is seriously out of its league.

>> It’s not enough to just connect people, we have to make sure those connections are positive.

Does he really think he can define what "positive" means with a platform hosting hundred of millions of communications ? There is no positive, there's human nature. Regulating that by FB itself won't work but worse, it will be a tyranny. The gated wall of FB will mean gated psychology, sociology, etc. FB could be great if it was run by people who think about people, not shareholders...

Note that the worst, and most sophisticated trolls will just keep a second well-behaved account to monitor the actual forum as others see it; so it won't be more powerful than a ban to them. Forcing you to 3) as you say.

Someday we'll have shadow banning deluxe - not only will the troll be seeing a different forum, but they alone will see fake A.I. generated responses to them that will cause the troll to waste endless amounts of their time continuing to troll-debate. Time they can't spend buggering around with someone else's forum.

Sadly, by that time, we'll also see A.I. auto-troll-programs appearing in large numbers.

That's what I mean. Normalizing input from weakly defined fields is a nightmare. Every time you think you've gotten every edge case someone will come along and prove you wrong. And then your employer is mad at you because you didn't think anybody was still writing their checks with Roman Numerals or something.
YouTube video recommendations, which converge on recommending conspiracy theories and shocking videos to easily manipulated people, especially children.

I am not worried about literal paperclip maximizers, but this may be the closest real thing to that parable. The hypothesis isn't that YouTube's recommender system didn't work -- it's that it worked too well at its assigned task of maximizing view time, and we humans are finally realizing that maximizing view time was not what we actually wanted.
Did anyone hear back from them?
I don't disagree with regards to "nothing like actually keeping your system up to date", but in terms of defense-in-depth, non-standard ports are not a bad idea. IIRC, people who have monitored the volume of attempts to connect on a open standard port and a nonstandard port are different by orders of magnitude. It won't help you much in stopping a dedicated human attacker, but it'll probably drastically reduce the number of automated attempts to attack your network device.

One of my favorite purchases over the past few years has been a RadRover from Rad Power Bikes. ( https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/radrover-electric-fat... for the curious.) It's still going strong a year and a half after I got it, and the motor covers all the sins of heavy tires and rolling resistance that a fatbike would otherwise bring to the table. My initial worries about range and getting stuck having to pedal a long way back home have fallen to the wayside- as long as I start with a fresh battery, it will outlast me. And as someone in their mid-40's, it is so nice to be able to feel free on a bike again, without having to worry about struggling up that one hill that blocks an otherwise lovely ride.

I don't mean to sound like an advertisement. I just want to note how transformative owning an ebike has been. A good 50% of my car trips have been replaced, and I enjoy the ride while doing so. And I like my car, too. But ebikes are just that much fun.

The router I got from my ISP already has quite some stuff built in. For example, I can enable DynDNS, plug in a drive via USB providing a SMB network drive, and enable a secondary guest WiFi.

I stated it is a fact because of the revenue numbers of Wix and Squarespace (both around $500 Million / year). These numbers establish that they are solving an actual problem.

"Temin argues that, following decades of growing inequality, America is now left with what is more or less a two-class system: One small, predominantly white upper class that wields a disproportionate share of money, power, and political influence"

Temin avoids mentioning Asians, who have a higher average income than whites, despite many being relative newcomers to the country. That would undermine the narrative of a static class structure.

I am not greatly concerned with Facebook's privacy policy. People voluntarily give up their personal information in order to use this free service.

I am more concerned about his identification of "fake news" and "hate speech" as issues without any clarification. These are both subjective descriptions with the potential for damaging abuse, which we are already seeing with the banning of Diamonds and Silk from Facebook.

In my opinion, Facebook, Google, and other social media platforms should be required to be content neutral and its users given first amendment protection (with its concomitant limits). This would require federal legislation.
