Did you actually look at these listings? Show me specific ones where you can move into an apartment by paying less than $700 for the first month where no credit is required and where the actual monthly rent is under $500. A lot of these listings are scams or deceptions, with the rent being per week or just made up out of the blue.

For example, this is the 2nd listing in that search, dig into it and you get this:

RATES:

Weekly @ $350.00

Biweekly @ $550.00

Monthly @ $960.00

Deposit $250-350

So that's $1200 to move in on the first month. That's a bust.

The next two other rentals aren't a fit for the person in the article, one is for men only, one is for tagalog speaking women only. The next possible rental is 170/week with a 120 deposit, so that's 800 bucks in the first month. The third possibility is "200" (per week I assume) with a 450 deposit (non-refundable), so that's $1250 in the first month. The next one would be $1143 for the first month to move in. The next after that is actually $700/mo including utilities.

There do seem to be a few legit rentals out there in that price range, but none of them have sufficient details to know if you can truly trust them, and who knows if they'll still be available when you have the time to call and arrange a visit, etc. This stuff is not as easy as a lot of people make it out to be. Sure, if you are savvy and put in enough hustle you might be able to find a sufficiently cheap place to live but it's far from a trivial task, and the signal to noise ratio on listings is such that it's going to waste a lot of your time, time you might not have.
Very interesting write up too! I often read that computational biology is a different beast than the rest of the computational landscape (which usually revolve around solving PDE's fundamentally) and this was a nice picture into at least one problem on that side of the pond. A "best substring" search to me sounds closer to the kind of problems CS people think about than what computational cats do.

Turing completeness isn't really an interesting aspect of the VM. Ethereum could probably remove the loop instruction without affecting any contracts of importance, but the DAO would have happened anyway.
One thing I do not get about leather is why do people like it?

One sibling comment mention durability. But otherwise I find it's very heavy, cold, not breathable, sensitive to water and doesn't really look that well.

Sure I do prefer suede office shoes over normal leather, but that's about it. There are probably some good industrial use cases, but I much prefer Gore-tex type of materials and especially Merino wool. It's breathable, doesn't attract smell, somewhat water resistant, doesn't hurt animals too much and is close to cotton. I am rarely into clothing brands, but Icebreaker and Allbirds are making really good stuff that I've been wearing non-stop for years now.
We don't talk to Broadcom. As you note, they simply do not care if you're not very big fish. Fortunately, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a big enough fish, and they do care, so we talk to them instead.
I think the most basic and simple solution is to target ads not on the user but on the webpage and it's contents.

If the webpage is written in french (or visible as such) that reviews computer hardware, pick hardware ads first and if available in french. That is IMO a reasonable assumption to make and I don't believe that a lot of users will be mistargeted that hard.

Bigger publishers like newspapers could run ads depending on section, ie the politics section shows political ads and the weather section shows a raincoat ad.

The only downside I see is that localized ads don't work as well (ie, "local restaurant has cheap burgers" and "99+ women in <your area> want to talk to you on tinder!!!!"). Such places could put their ads on relevant pages though, ie the internet page of a local newspaper or the local communities' internet presence.
So here's the question: does this product reflect any of the research into teaching programming or is it just "somebody had an idea"? There is nothing on the website I could find that addresses this.

We know a reasonable amount about teaching programming, and in particular we know that traditional methods are really bad. Most people, when they teach programming, reproduce the poor traditional methods used to teach them.

There is already a large quantity of "learn to code" apps and sites. We don't need more. We need more quality.

Though they have a lot of users in the EU (population 700M), it seems that once they figure out how to do it for their 250M (?) EU users, expanding it to 2B users is not a huge stretch.

What that setup describes is a required implementation of the Chinese firewall and vast Internet controls by the EU over all persons within the EU. There's no other way to enforce such a scheme otherwise, you have to know all about user & business Internet use.

Option C would never happen. Option D requires the Chinese firewall, very obviously. It's very aggressively courting fascism, practically begging for it; a return to militant European fascism would be the sole possible outcome over time. It would turn the EU into a walled garden network, which is constantly railed against in regards to Facebook.

'More than 10x the population of Florence, South Carolina!'
Well, I've actually faced an opposite situation. I have two Gmail accounts, main one gathers mail from the secondary, and I'm pretty sure that main address is set up as "recovery e-mail" in the secondary account. I've registered them more than 10 years ago, and since I have no need to login into secondary account - I forgot my password. But recently I've received e-mail from Gmail saying "we've prevented login into your account from unusual place" which usually means - somebody has your password.

And now I have no way to change a password for my secondary account meaning bad guys still have a valid password. And since some services don't allow you to change e-mail you've used during registration (usually when your e-mail is your login) - I'm basically hostage to Google's login security system and have to rely on it preventing bad guys from logging in into my account while I can not do so myself.

We agree on all those points. All I was saying is that people say "cities are spread out so transit won't work" when often the very _reason_ cities are spread out is that they lacked transit, so huge amounts of land were given over to auto infrastructure. It's worth considering that it's self-reinforcing and the causality isn't one-way.

Look at a big box store, for instance - most of the land is parking, not the store itself. A freeway interchange can take as much land as en entire neighborhood. Meanwhile you can have tens of thousands of people in a city centre all within walking distance of one another. But you can't do that if you pave over most of the land.

Also, it's illegal in most of the US to build infrastructure that isn't suited to an auto-first lifestyle, mostly through parking minimums but also Level-of-service considerations that force large, wide streets.

In California, SB827 just died a sad death. It would have allowed buildings up to 5 stories near high-frequency transit stops. Now those people who would have lived in those buildings will have to live farther from transit, so they'll drive. They'll need parking too, so we'll need to use land that would have gone to homes/businesses/etc for their parking. Also gas stations, more road capacity, etc. The homes they end up living in will be harder to reasonably serve with transit, because of course they're farther apart.

Yet old neighborhoods near cities built _before_ those rules are often very expensive, suggesting that more people would like to live in them than are able to. The first thing that comes to mind is the nicer areas of Berkeley, or South Park, San Diego, for instance. It's funny you note railways though because they were largely the original enablers of sprawl (though I have no problem with railway-served suburbs! the problem is largely that we got rid of the rail service).

What are other suggestions? (I haven't done any searching but it sounds like you had some in mind.)
Not just to relocate. But to relocate into a permanent situation with no hope of change. Firstly, none of those cheaper rental options fit that bill very well, those aren't places that can be relied upon for years and years. Additionally, moving away from one's support network and from the best opportunities is a hell of a thing and not something to be taken lightly. People here are pretending that this woman can simply guarantee herself a future that is more comfortable than the one she has right now by finding some cheaper apartment somewhere, and that's a proposition that is questionable at best.

Especially in this case where the end result was that she ended up just crashing on her daughter's couch, moving down to Olympia or whatever to rent out some questionable super cheap room somewhere seems like it would have been a much worse decision. Perhaps she was just waiting long enough to justify "giving up" and having to rely fully on her daughter.

Let's see... USB sensors add unneeded complexity AND power requirements.

How would you stick an Android phone plus a whole octopus of usb peripherals inside a nice neat box? It would be at least shoe box size.

If you need a board that will run 24/7 and control some process, remember Android goes into power management to save battery, and you need to fight it to operate continously. Might not even be possible any more with newer Androids that restrict wake locks.

RPi reliability isn't as good as it could be, at least not without cooling, but I would trust it for long time operation any time over a $30 phone that had to include a screen and a battery in that price and thus has made a lot more compromises.
They can still make plebty of money from ads, they just can't track users who don't agree to be tracked.
My point is that I don't think they have it figured out ;-) (and they have just over a month left!) I agree that once they get it sorted (which they will have to do), they will almost certainly roll out the majority of it world wide just because it is easier.
I don't know. If there is no money that get infused into the local environment around the corals then less people will work to fix it. It is also rather well established that conservation must focus on awareness or things don't usually improve by them self. Comparing the drawback to the benefits of tourism, I suspect the benefits win.
I don't do any GUI programming but that doesn't sound like such a bad thing when the target platform (browser) is just about everywhere.
If you’re looking at TCP headers, you might as well go all the way to the PHY layer. Your TCP headers will get encoded by an error correcting code (good, they’ll look random again) but then the data will be split into frames, and each frame begins with an identical preamble sequence of bits.

The Kaldi toolkit is state of the art, but you have to know quite a bit about speech and natural language processing to create a comparable service that works well (or invest the time to learn it). Definitely not plug and play, though.

> Apart from this - what is the status of the patch, is it redhat-only or is it on its way to the upstream?

I had a conversation with some of the RH kernel devs a few weeks ago and from my (hazy) memory, this comes from Red Hats acquisition of permabit so it was closed source, its now GPL'd but needs a fair amount of tidying up and bits rewriting to get it into a state that the kernel developers would accept it (they reimplemented some standard kernel features so they didn't have to link to GPL'd code). So it will be upstreamed but it will take time.

In the meantime its released for RHEL only, not even in Fedora. Iirc could be ported to other distros (its 100% GPLed) its just not been.
What are good examples of genetic algorithms/genetic programming solutions?
> Sure, none of these chips are new, and the older models (which are easily & cheaply accessible...

The then-older chips were not available with the future volume we needed, unless we increased our volumes a few times. We had little choice but to build on their newer chips for the volume bracket we fell into. Perhaps the situation has changed in two years.

> I wouldn't expect jack from Allwinner besides their crummy kernel 3.4 branch, but that is the beauty in mainline support, you aren't limited to what Allwinner supports!

You can see how that is off-putting, especially when other vendors (e.g., the Raspberry Pi Foundation) themselves support the latest LTS (and non-LTS) kernel with maintained patches, and upstream their patches. And their code is not utter garbage. New RPis have a much easier time getting mainlined precisely because of these reasons.

Hey all,

We recently released an early version of indemandly - a free, simple, and customizable contact form that you can add to your website, social media, & marketing emails. It takes less than 1min to set up & users are seeing increases in new inquiries of up to 3x. You can reply to inquiries directly from your email & they'll automatically be organized in your indemandly dashboard. Use it for receiving general inquiries, collecting event sign-ups, or taking booking requests. Easily add a welcome message to highlight a new feature, promote an upcoming event or webinar, or just say hello in a new way, because it’s a new day. We're working on adding integrations and more customization options. Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Decades ago the reef was endangered by run-off from agriculture (fertilisers, agri-chemicals etc) and I believe this has been managed, since it's largely under human control (ie, we could stop song them tomorrow if we wanted).

There have occasionally be natural predators too, like the Crown of Thorn starfish.

The current threat to the reef is ocean warming -- a vastly different threat. There is not much humans can do in the short term to mitigate the problem.
I think it's fairly standard that larger tech companies have privacy teams. Apple has one, facebook has one, google has one. If I bothered to search for more, you probably can find a news article about that company's privacy team.

This is what you get when you don't have a top-down management style. Teams are given too much freedom, leading to inconsistency. No one has the whole vision of how a product should work. Even if they did have that, they likely don't have the authority to make it happen.

Seems correct. The probability of at least one 6 is one minus the probability that both aren't a 6, which is 5/6 * 5/6 = 25/36; so the result is (36-25)/36 = 11/36.

To be fair, coffee is just another drug. And there are many drugs which are sold legally which have much worse impact on people and communities, like opiod prescriptions.

So I know what you mean about selling drugs being "semi-ethical" (probably a fanciful way to say "legal") but it's not as unethical as many other things people sell out in the open.
>If there is no money that get infused into the local environment around the corals then less people will work to fix it.

The ocean has warmed to the point where to coral cannot survive. The reef is H-U-G-E (1,400 miles long according to the article). If there was a technology capable of reducing the ocean temperature around the reef, the waste heat the technology would create would cause more problems elsewhere.

The reef is an indication that the global warming problem has become to big for human technology to fix.

I was using a Raspberry Pi 2 as my home webserver for a long time but I recently switched to a Tinker Board and was really pleased with the process.

Same form factor was very convenient since I could use my old case and hats. ASUS ported WiringPi as well, so all my Rpi scripts worked without modification. And finally, a dedicated Ethernet controller means I get way better speeds than my old Pi 2 could even dream about.

If you care about Ethernet speeds the decision is pretty much a no-brainer.

Article 2d "This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data: [...] by competent authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, including the safeguarding against and the prevention of threats to public security." exempts data collection by gov't for security purposes.

Article 6.1c "Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies: [...] c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;" exempts data collection by private parties if ordered by gov't, e.g. if they require communications operators to track subscriber identities or something else, then GDPR consent requirements don't apply.

So I'd say that it's materially true that "Data collection for security and intelligence purposes by governments is exempt from GDPR rules", as long as governments are doing this data collection according to whatever other laws they have passed and not in violation of them (which sometimes has been the case, though, with executive branch doing what legislative branch has forbidden them).
