Ha ha, same issue with me last night. My 3rd grade boy brought home some horribly long reading comprehension homework. He HATES English homework. I do too. Fortunately my wife took over as I was becoming frustrated.

I do enjoy helping with math & science homework, but that’s it.

My 6th grade daughter is total opposite; never had a B student, science fair winner, violin & cello player. My son a video game & skateboard slacker; just like me. The joys of parenting.
Also, why report 250k and 0.0004% and not just "~100 people". Makes it much easier to digest.
I wonder if there's an aspect of being in too deep already. I'm not sure I would have thought about reporting Bitcoin gains years ago when it was more of a technical interest. Now that it has skyrocketed, I can imagine scenarios where people wouldn't have enough USD to cover the taxes so instead of selling their Bitcoin they just keep quiet.

Oklahoma had a similar thing on their state tax forms for internet sales tax, everyone just checked the "I didn't shop online" box to the tune of about 90%.

Why is it ok to be filmed and face recognized by surveillance cameras on train station but it is wrong when Facebook does it?

In my opinion I don’t need to use facebook and give them my data voluntarily but I kinda need to use the train and nobody is asking me for right to do face recognition.
You wouldn't. You'd choose it over C for your next TLS implementation, not over Go for your next web application.
There is no reason why terms should not be written in plain English and indeed under European consumer protection laws, you should be writing the terms in plain English because it means the user has a better chance of understanding them, and (regardless of the first part) you have a better chance of enforcing them should the need arise.

Please be aware that not all lawyers are the same and you can find many who will be more than happy to write a set of terms that are in plain English, ambiguity-free and protect your company against any areas of concern that are legitimate for you to protect against.
Physics hasn't still decided if our universe is completely deterministic or no, if all the apparent quantum randomness was not already determined (think about a seeded random number generator).

You are trivializing a very deep question:

Are you actually calling out arguably the most successful web software company of all time (primarily through search and adwords) for being incompetent? A company that profits billions a...quarter?

Maybe chat just doesn't make them any money so they don't really give a shit and all of these things are pet projects that get shut down on a whim?

The key to Google is that their real Users are advertisers. That's it. The "users" you're talking about are the product they're selling to their real Users(Advertisers).
They recently added a chat function to the Youtube mobile app too.
Well, it would if logic were the overarching guideline on these topics.

As it stands, the male is presumed guilty on college campuses when both parties are drunk and he must then meet a draconian burden of proof to extricate himself from the situation.

At least, that has been my experience.
The current default is accretion. There is no end to it. We will drown in laws.
I meant low priced relative to value. In your example, Zillow wouldn’t want it either because it wouldn’t turn a profit. Unless they had some super efficient repair crew.
Humans don't gauge wealth on an absolute scale, they measure it relative to those nearby. Someone in a trailer park isn't saying "gee, I'm glad I don't live in a slum in India." They're angry at all of the young, wealthy professionals in New York or San Francisco.
Yep.

And then you understand that you weren't wrong, and the opportunity for improvement is there, when time is available, but you haven't risked alienating people by treating them as if they're idiots for writing imperfect code.
Boom. This is why Slack and Discord expand so much. Usability plus availability. Sad people at Google get paid a lot of money to not figure these simple things out. Know your enemy and then reimplement their work in your own better way. Allo needed a desktop client and the video stuff should of been built in stop trying to copy Apple in that regard.

Dick Proenneke's Alone in the Wilderness is a wonderful TV show to watch if you're into this sort of DIY building joy. He starts with only a few tools and builds himself a little cabin in Alaska, narrating and filming the whole thing. Quite peaceful and inspiring.

Ideally, I want a report which alerts me when zillow modifies my home estimates.

So sign up with Zillow and "claim" your home, then subscribe to email updates. You'll get mailed weekly with your "estimate". Using quotes there because, like gamblor956 says, the values are complete bullshit.

> Second but key, he sucks at working in a team and also at communication. You don't change a mess such as the one he describes in 5 months.

Well, he sucked in that team. It's good to know the kind of person you are. I've learned, somewhat the hard way, that I become a bit of a nightmare in situations where I can't make a difference quickly. This tends to lead me away from very large, very process-driven, very political organisations, because I simply don't have the temperament for it, and towards smaller, scrappier companies, where it's possible to make forward progress quickly.

One day, after all, I will die. I don't want to have spent too much time between now and then having to deal with torrents of organisational bullshit. The fact that I don't know how much time I have left only adds impetus to cut through the nonsense.

Whereas some people can survive, and indeed thrive, in that kind of environment. They have the patience to see it through, and gain their satisfaction in other ways than merely seeing the product taking shape quickly.
Whataboutism. Both are wrong.

Assume a really fast rocket is traveling from galaxy A to galaxy B. Due to relativistic length contraction, the distance between the galaxies is less as seen by the rocket than it is for a stationary observer in either galaxy. So the travel time from the perspective of the rocket (the "proper time" of the rocket) is less than the travel time measured by a stationary observer. And when you work out the math, the rocket's proper time approaches zero in the limit as the speed of the rocket approaches light speed.
Amazing. Been looking for something like this to use as background music for youtube videos. Much appreciated.
Seems to me this is easily fixed.

If a jury of peers cannot understand the legal contract during an arbitration, rule in favor of the signor of the contract and against the writer.

why shouldn't the customer be able to recover damages from you if you had an accident, or were negligent? they were paying you to take care of this stuff for them. if they wanted the risk of accident and incompetence, they'd just do it themselves.
No, Discord wasn't around at the time of the Boston Bombing. I believe (though don't know) that he's referring to some of the white nationalist stuff, like Charlottesville perhaps.
The author's physics might be real science but this seems like semantics to me. In addition, the idea that "time is an illusion" is equal parts physics and psychology. While the author maybe a professional physicist, I doubt they are much more than an armchair psychologist.
Another concept that complements this is the fundamental attribution error. It's called that for a reason. Instead of first assuming that everyone who came before was a terrible coder/worker/person, you have to look at the context and incentives at play.
Other people (aka your friends and family) are uploading your data to Facebook regardless. You don't have a choice both times and both are bad.
2 engine aircraft are cheaper to operate per seat due among other things to greater fuel efficiency which can be up to 50% over older 4-engine models. [0] The current four-engine models are at the bottom of the heap these days; the 787 is at the top.

Also smaller cabins are easier to fill which means you can fly point-to-point from regional airports like Oakland CA (OAK) and still operate at max capacity.

A big thing in GDPR is that consent must be sufficiently specific and explicit. Long and generic T&C might no longer pass. Ultimately, I imagine the regulation will make a lot of lawyers richer as this kind of stuff gets hammered out in practice.
I don't know about lithography. Apparently suggested technologies for graphene are rather different.

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/409449/graphene-transisto... — uses narrow (< 10nm) bands of graphene produced by ultrasound.

https://phys.org/news/2016-05-graphene-based-transistor-cloc... — uses some tech I did not understand to put two sheets of graphene very close by and control the tunneling.

Both mention 2-3 orders of magnitude speedup, compared to silicon.

Laws are not meant to be an exhaustive blacklist. If they were we wouldn't need juries, judges and lawyers. Laws are rules of thumb that make it efficient enough to enforce a society's moral code to the point where it can be done at scale.

There will always be exceptions and details argue over and ultimately you need a critical mass of society to agree to abide by them to a great enough degree.

Expecting any reasonably non-homogeneous society to be able to agree on where to draw lines what constitutes bad behavior in anything other than the obvious cases ( murder, theft, etc) is naive. Expecting laws to cover the vast majority of bad behavior is naive. Expecting to be able to enforce that theoretical set of laws is naive. Expecting to enforce those theoretical laws without creating something akin to 1984 is just insane.
Leading is a core part of managing. Or at least managing well.
That is because it is an actual __Engineering__ exam, not a programming one. Testing for programming skills in an SE exam is like testing a mechanical engineer's CAD skills. I would argue that the majority of "SE" jobs do not actually entail engineering but software development (or construction), which is only a small subset of SE.
I had a worse phone years ago and it had OTG and the camera was great. Why 7 years later Huawei phones don't have OTG?

If it's personally identifiable, yes. You also need opt-in (not opt-out or buried deep in a TOS) permission to use personal data in that way before feeding it to your learning model (since that use-case is basically never the primary purpose that the data was given for).

If you use any sort of automated system to make decisions about a EU customer that impacts their life in a significant way (like whether to ban them or not) you will also need to have some sort of appeals system where they can appeal to have the decision looked at by a human and potentially have it reversed.
Basically this is what you get if you learn to code in the early eighties, then try picking up thirty years later.

I was asked by a friend who is in the band if I had done any graphics work or was interested in doing anything for a music video.
Graphics are not something I have done before except [cough] years ago on the BBC Micro, which is where the 8-bit geometric graphics and code came from.

The conversion from the video of the singer to ASCII was done via ffmpeg to de-frame/re-frame the video and a hacked together C# program that works well enough[0] to convert each frame to letter of the right font, size, words/letters (which are the lyrics - the letters in each line are used for the ASCII rendering of the singer while that line is being sung).

The combination of the two sets of graphics into a far better music video was done by a guy called Chris Bate from FilmBee.

I've submitted this as there was a discussion[1] a few weeks ago about ASCII art being dead or alive while I was putting this together.

[0]'Well enough' - I couldn't get it to run and flat line all the CPUs when running parallel processing.

One thing we're seeing is that this isn't an either/or choice: for example, Bouyant's latest product, Conduit, is both Rust and Go. Projects like Neon let you extend Node with Rust, and there's been a lot of interest in using Rust through wasm in Node as well as the browser.

With GDPR, blanket "opt-ins", I.e. clickwrap, won't suffice. People need to give informed consent, meaning key uses of personal data must be explained in plain language. Hopefully this will lead to a lot less abuse of I Agree to Everything and any Future Changes type of TOS.
Ok, so I now have the following question: what if I’m evil (that kind of evil person none can imagine would exist on Facebook), and I impersonate for example someone else - like my ex for example. Will I get notified about every photo they upload of „me“?
Isn’t this decision going to be a total privacy clusterf* even beyond what is currently imagined?
Or won’t they show me pictures of „me“ that were uploaded privately by others at all - then this feature doesn’t make sense.
Please help me understand
Shrewd analysis. It does seem like Scala and Clojure bring much more unique value propositions as JVM languages.
The figure, reported by CNBC, comes from Credit Karma, a popular financial app through which people can view their credit score and file taxes. Of the more than 250,000 people who have filed through Credit Karma this year, a whopping 0.0004 percent have claimed to have money in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

Garbage in, garbage out - like basing the alcoholism rate for the US by surveying the state of Utah.

Check your scores anytime, anywhere, and never pay for it.

Bitcoin attracts people who can't stand the mess that credit cards have created. A person obsessive enough about a credit score to use an app that lets them view it anytime, anywhere won't be interested in Bitcoin to begin with.
Worth noting that the pretty HD pictures came from a laptop hooked up to a DAC converter to simulate an analog HD video camera. The true analog camera shown on the page had nowhere near HD color resolution (though it could still recognize faces in a parking lot with 95% accuracy--impressive in itself.)
> That I write my code in brainfuck is of no consequence to someone, unless that brainfuck is potentially going to incarcerate them.

If you write software to control medical equipment in Brainfuck, it's potentially of consequence to a great many people. Same for autonomous driving routines.

Trying to make things clearer is a good cause. Expecting that everything can be made clear enough for the average person is a fool's errand.

Do we expect the circuit layouts of CPUs to be understandable by everyone? Because we are surely affected by those, in very many aspects of our lives.

Do we expect the full engineering and aeronautics behind an airplane to be understood by everyone? Everyone who flies puts their lives on the line based on those principles and the engineers getting it right.

Do we all expect to understand the numerous ways in which our bodies can get hurt, or interact with chemicals, or develop diseases? We trust doctors to figure out the complications there.

In each case, we've trusted domain experts to sort through the very complex topic and distill the knowledge into a useful form for us. In each case, we also generally know a core amount of the topic to help us navigate the everyday portions. CPUs work by providing a very low level core set of instructions that can be followed. Airplanes work through thrust, airflow and lift. Our bodies deteriorate over time, and if we put bad stuff in, they don't do as well, and some common diseases are known (cold, flu, etc).

The law is no different. There's a core set of things people are aware of. As things become more specific, or a problem happens, we call in domain experts to help.

Expecting everyone to be able to read all of the legal code will never happen, nor should it happen. It's expecting too much out of the average person, and would also require the law be dumbed down in ways that were detrimental to it's interpretation.
It's precisely what the legalese means, and carries connotations which are absolutely nothing like what Imgur intends. They claim unlimited rights not because they don't want to be bothered to restrict them, but because the structure of the Internet makes it impossible to write a simple description of when copies will be made.

They could try going into detail:

> We can send copies of your image to anyone who, following standard Internet routing protocols, says that someone has requested to see the image and promises to forward the copy onwards to the original requester. Anyone we send the image to can also create copies themselves following this rule, and can temporarily store the copies as needed to make further copies.

But then neither the average Joe nor lawyers are going to be able to understand it.
A Better Playlist Shuffle with Go
I find that once you're working in immutable/pure style it's worth having an explicit boundary between Scala and Java, a class that exists only to wrap the Java thing you're using, and really it's pretty easy to do so - Java-style code sticks out immediately in code review (though you can implement rules to flag it if you really need to).

I've done all of these approaches in various projects - using Scala just as a better Java, with Java-style code, using Java libraries, then writing code that was in a more immutable style that used wrappers around Java libraries, then writing very pure (i.e. no unmanaged effects) code that either used scala libraries, or used Java libraries only in an interpreter for a monad. All of them work. Mixing mutable objects and pure functional style is never going to go well, and that's as true in Python-only projects (say) as it is in Scala/Java hybrid projects; the language interop doesn't leave you any worse off than you were without it, if that makes sense.

It's not partisan, huh? Riiiiiiiight...

This is a civil suit for monetary damages. It's not going to undo the election. It's not going to impeach Trump. It's either a fundraiser for the Democratic Party (unlikely - they have to win to collect), or else it's exactly a partisan political publicity stunt.
Actually I have read them, back when I agreed to them many years ago. I don’t recall the specific detail you are asking off the top of my head, nor would that be a reasonable expectation of anyone. However, since I read and agreed to the terms and conditions, I know that a) such a document exists; b) that I can refer to it at anytime to answer such questions if I have them; and c) that I did not lie to Hacker News when I registered.

Can you make the same claim?
Same principle in that they both use electromagnetism, yes. But Qi and similar wireless charging using inductively couples coils. WISP power is generated from radio waves absorbed by the antenna generating a small current then boosted to a usable voltage for a low power microcontroller. The microcontroller can control the impedence of the antenna, changing the backscatter of the antenna, measure the change in backscatter you can get your 1s and 0s out of the sensor!

edit: wifi router could power these sensors, just a limited range.

Q&A – ASO Basics with Phiture, Headspace and SoundCloud’s Growth Agency
I always saw time as a way of applying numerical labels to a state of the universe. In my view, the universe only ever exists in one state, albeit constantly changing at the "speed" of light. It is our biological capability to remember past states and envision future states that project this notion of time into everything.

Time is lodged into almost all of physics because the only way we can do something useful (not being God and not knowing the absolute equations sans-units) is to compare present values to previous-present values. That division sign wedged into every relative unit of measure - kg, sec, meter, etc - is basically a way of saying "as compared to". Present as-compared-to the-previous-present. What-is-now ÷ the-remembered-now. Universe-at-Planck-Tick #145 ÷ Universe-at-Planck-Tick #144

All of the universal constants come down to comparing a present state to a previous-present state and noticing that the delta between them is a consistent value. I don't think this is really news to many, but it helped to make physics and the some of the exotic math behind it make more sense to me.

As an ESL I can tell you that it also depends on your exposure to English. Non-native English speakers are often taught and exposed to mostly (classical) literary works and/or formal speak (for example, math and science). It's one of the reasons why their speech might sound stilted in person, but "perfect" in writing. What you think is "colloquial and limited" might be considered "perfect native speak" by the ESLs who often don't get that kind of environmental exposure to English.
Aren't there so few people with backgrounds like that (Python aside) that it doesn't really matter?
A lot of this type of thing isn't clear yet and will be worked out when GDPR is enforced.

At my previous employer, we took a pretty comprehensive view and tried to play it safe, so at the very least any non-anonymous data in training sets would qualify. That does, however, already beg the question of why on Earth you'd need to train a model with non-anonymized data in the first place!
