You essentially won't be getting the oxygen. In reality - those yellow masks are borderline ineffective anyway. You basically need an airtight seal around your entire nose and mouth otherwise the pure O2 will simply vent away. But at the altitudes that commercial aircraft fly at, it is better than nothing. Below about 25,000 feet they provide a little more time before onset of hypoxia, but above 35,000 they would be useless. Best bet if you are at higher altitudes is to hold the mask on as tight as possible and try to eliminate any gaps.

If you notice the oxygen masks that the pilots use (and that fighter pilots use), they are a very different beast, and have secure latching mechanisms to hold the mask tightly against your face with NO gaps at all. (Also a reason why beards are banned for flight crew in the air force - can't have ANY gaps where the O2 can leak out).

My old flight instructor used to fly jets in the Air Force back in the 50's and 60's, when the cockpits were unpressurised, and he said that at altitudes around 60,000+ feet, if your oxygen mask failed, you had about 1 second of consciousness. In fact, he said at those altitudes, the pressure differential was so great that your diaphragm actually couldn't expand to enable normal breathing, and they used to have liquid oxygen pressure fed through their masks. If they wanted to breath, they just opened their mouth and freezing cold LOX (which vaporised almost instantly at that altitude) would be rammed down their gullets...
One of the reasons why it's harder to buy some used homes in Japan is because it's harder government backed housing loans for housing that do not meet earthquake standards. For older buildings it's also harder or not possible to get tax breaks.

The reason why timestamping is a difficult problem is that if I publish two transactions spending the same money, the network must agree on the order of events (which is to say: must assign different timestamps to the two transactions) so that one is considered valid, and the other invalid.

No, the system must not decide on the temporal order of your two transactions and in the extreme case, if you make them at the exact same time, it can not because neither one precedes the other one. In this specific case of an attempted double spending the system must only decide to accept at most one of your transactions and it must agree on which one gets accepted, if any. If one of the transactions gets accepted this will establish an ordering of the two transactions but this ordering is a result not an prerequisite.

A miner may randomly include any one of your two transactions, if individually valid, without regard to the time it was made. The inclusion in an accepted block then renders the other transaction invalid but this is still not really judgment about the time those transaction were made at, it is just a statement that one is valid and one is invalid.

Ordering is really only important insofar that you can only spend coins that you have received before, i.e. a spending transaction must not precede a receiving transaction. And even then the order in which the transactions are made does not matter. Nothing stops you from creating a spending transaction before the receiving transaction, the spending transaction will just be invalid and not get included in a block until the receiving transaction is made and included in a block.

Adobe has demoed software for this (interestingly, Jordan Peele also in this video):

Whether the demo is accurate or massaged, I can't say as I've never used the software myself. But if it is anywhere near as good as their demo suggests, it produces output that is more natural than the current deepfakes video outputs (though it also isn't perfect).

> Counterintuitive as it may seem, this startup may be doing things right. If user growth is causing load issues, that means users like the product, and that the company is growing fast, which is the high bit of predicting whether a startup will succeed.

Yes this. In a perfect world, you have a perfect design and lots of growth. In the real world, sometimes you have a lot more of one than the other. Trust me when I say you would much rather be running an app with 100k users and scaling problems than an app with 3 users that can handle 1 million users.

That said, what are you doing to fix the root problems? I bet they could use someone to take ownship of the large issues. Come up with a 1 year plan to resolve the issues. Maybe 6 bigger projects of 1-3 months each. Present them to the owners, and try to get buy in to do them over the next year. I bet you could work 50% on firefighting, and 50% on making big changes - and get the app to a good place in a year. I run a tiny startup, but I would love any employee that did that ;)

Facebook is a "gov't" for its user-citizens, the same way dairy farmers are a "gov't" for their cows.

In other words, FB is not a gov't, it's a company that sells the product it creates from interaction with its users and sells to it's customers (other companies that want to advertise and/or analyze data).

Main difference with dairy farmers is that cows are property of of the farm, they're forcefully made pregnant, have their babies taken short after birth, and get killed, all at the whims of the farmer. FB has less control over it's, much more vocal users.

That's why FB's farmer, Mark, needs help writing speeches and and dealing with the "real gov't" (which to some extend represents the people, a.k.a. FB users). Full circle.
Maybe it makes more sense to view this in concert with other similar efforts to address different uses of livestock? Like, to replace all the uses of a cow with synthetics, you need lab-grown meat and lab-grown milk and lab-grown leather, and ...

And there are startups addressing each of these, independently of one another.

If you're sitting in a window seat it's entirely possible to be sucked into the window enough where you'd be dead even with your seatbelt on. I'd imagine most adults would get stuck at the shoulders, which would only take about 1ft of wiggle room. Also, she may have received fatal head trauma from the engine cowling entering the plane.

So, I think it's premature to say that she would have lived even if she was wearing her seatbelt(was she?). But generally I agree it is a good idea to strap in

People who are one generation removed from subsistence farming are not less intelligent than others. However, they and the family have had a lot less time to view mass media bullshit (tv cable news, internet, etc) and develop the mental callouses necessary to understand the nature of media biases, who owns what media organizations. And in general have had less formal secondary education at the post high school level that teaches critical thinking, skepticism and gain some degree of innoculation against propaganda.

We've been able to fake voice recordings for decades. Doing it again is not the impressive part of the video. It's a tech demo for the video showing how close it is to working. The point of the video is that this was made with Adobe After Effects and FakeApp and 56 hours of rendering time. COTS software on COTS hardware.

You won't even need a good impersonator, however. The same technology behind FakeApp that blends this video together could be used to blend audio together.

This is supposed to look fake and sound fake because you're supposed to see it as fake. What happens when that isn't true anymore?

Regardless of whether you are on a free or paid account, you have two options:

-Public: Upload data or use data that is already in a database that Mode hosts. All data and analysis done here is visible to anyone. This is most commonly used with the SQL tutorials that others have posted about here.

-Private: Connect your database to Mode and do analysis on your own data. This is only visible to people you add to your Mode Organization. In fact, making your private data accessible to people outside your Organization is a paid feature and comes with more granular permission controls.

We have tried to make this as clear as possible in the product and ToS, but looks like we missed on the latter. We will revise to make it clearer.

Real language VMs are quite a bit bigger - a hundred MB or so.

"This film was recorded by placing a movie camera on the front of a cable car as it proceeded down San Francisco’s Market Street. As a time capsule, the film showcases the details of daily life in a major American city, including the fashions, transportations and architecture of the era. The film was originally thought to have been made in 1905, but historian David Kiehn, who examined contemporary newspapers, weather reports and car license plates recorded in the film, suggested that “A Trip Down Market Street” was likely filmed just a few days before the devastating earthquake on April 18, 1906. Named to the National Film Registry in 2010."
Anima App: https://www.animaapp.com - We empower UI/UX designers.

Why is it important to empower designers?

We believe that user experience creates revolutions. There were smartphones before the iPhone, yet the mobile revolution started by the innovative user experience that Apple invented.

In our mind, more power to designers will lead to better and better digital products, which will result in more revolutionary products.

Our tools empower designers to express their vision in their language, rather than communicate their vision via mock-ups.

Today we provide tools for Sketch like Auto-Layout, Launchpad, and Timeline. Each of these gives designers more power to own their creations, we automate the front-end work.

Our toolkit is used by more than 70,000 designers and in well-known teams in Apple, Google, Facebook, Netflix and more.

If you use Sketch and haven't heard about us, try us out :)

I might actually forgive Oracle if that happened.
Thinking that Bezos wanted WaPo to advocate for Amazon and trash Musk is to treat him as a rich person, not the wealthy person that he actually is.
A test case might be needed. If Oracle were to sue a deep-pocketed competitor over the trademark, then we might find a court reaching the conclusion that the trademark has been diluted and the name is now generic. But if Oracle does no such thing, and sues only shallow-pocketed "nobodies", then the legal status of the mark will remain unclear.

My guess is Oracle would only do the latter, and that they're doing it because some lawyer thinks that Oracle has to do this to demonstrate that it is defending the mark even though that's nonsense if they don't go after notable unlicensed uses of their mark.

Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to a corporate lawyer.

I'm surprised they used tbm in Bangalore, but I think tbm aren't required. Cut and cover works well and is primarily used

For example, Mumbai Metro's line 3 is totally underground, and is in the costliest City of India. It is planned at 3.5 billion $ for 33 know. Around 100 million $ per km. And this includes the cost of stations, rails etc.

In comparison, recently completed Delhi metro phase 4 took 6.7 billion $ for 100 km at 67 million $ a km. A proposed Delhi metro project to UP outside the city (and hence cheaper) is around 1 billion $ for 35 km (and fewer stations).

From the looks of it, I don't think cut and cover for making tunnels has any significant expense at all.
It looks like India can construct metros (including stations which are the bigger costs) at 30 million $ per km. This is far lower than the tunneling costs of 100 million $ per mile that Elon plans to achieve, and 1 billion $ / mile that he thinks it costs (it doesn't, the major cost is stations and labor, and he can't bypass unions with political access).

Edit: Looks like India does use tbm. The cited Mumbai metro line is using 17 tbm.
