I can confirm the quality of the devices they send. And from the shipping it seems to be Shenzen.
Their 1900K VTC (triple-phosphor) LEDs seem to be out of stock though. They have 80+CRI on candlelight.
DIY Perks (youtube) got some and made a video destribing the difference between their double phosphor and 'normal' chinese LEDs.
One can see the quality of the actual LEDs (not the packaging/phosphor(s)) by running them at threshold voltage, and seeing if all dies in the package light up simultaneously. If they don't, the device is of 'chinesium' quality. Ask for a refund, as it's going to burn out soon (uneven current distribution between the parallel columns).

And as far as "really expensive" goes: the price of the LED is 10% of the electricity cost over a life of 50k hours, which is about what you get out of them without fancy cooling. See http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Plot%5B(1000.+%2B+0.2+x... , for TCO over time. Units are EUR and hours, and I calculated a price of 20ct/kWh. You can take these prices as net prices for USD, tax and forex cancel out. Yes, these are not economical if you don't use them. In that case, use cheap filament bulbs or similar.
Don't cheap out on the quality of light you use. Get double phosphor (other manufacturers offer those too) for normal use, and consider triple phosphor for uses where color rendition is particularly important (photo shooting/inspecting things/etc).
For the mentioned price you can get a cheap driver and the LED, but please don't burn your LED with inadequate cooling or a bad driver. They are not cheap ;)
This is just not correct and at best a very simplistic view of reality.

Instagram which uses no smart algorithms to speak of is the social network that is responsible for most depressions not FB.

You need to be able to answer why that is before you can start making FB responsible for things that they aren't really.

The real danger is our own vanity not clever algorithms from FB.

TIL glutamate is one of four amino acids that also functions as a neurotransmitter. Obviously, this does not refute any of the science disproving "MSG sensitivity" but I still find it interesting. Further, I wonder if there are people out there that claim sensitivity to aspartate or serine given that they too are both neurotransmitters and amino acids.

Sure, and you could say the same about tomatoes. But, generally speaking, people don't have reactions to tomatoes. The oddity/absurdity is spending extraneous resources/time arguing whether being allergic to MSG is actually a thing, just as it would be to devote resources into whether being allergic to tomatoes is a thing (hell, it's borderline as absurd as studying if being allergic to salt is a thing, at which point you would just be dead).

If you're allergic to tomatoes or salt, then it's a personal thing, not a general property of tomatoes or salt.

I’m in the same boat and use the same MBP.

The MBP is by default already booting into Debian and its so much better than macOS. Every time I go back, it’s a nightmare.

My best bet (after looking around a lot) is the newest Lenovo x1 Carbon.
Pretty cool, but it seems like this is is getting quite far from any standards-based measure. The way another browser such as firefox renders html might be completely different, so optimizing using this tool could possibly do nothing in other browsers, or even worsen performance.

You can use Idea CE, it's even open source. It does not support enterprise stuff like Java EE, but modern Java can live without it, run embedded Jetty, for example.
Link [0]: voluntarily given samples. There is an issue with stop and frisk, but it has to do with warrantless search. This was an issue before this case, and will still be an issue. It is a separate issue. Nevertheless, in this rapists' case, no evidence was collected by warrantles searches. All evidence was freely submitted.

Link [1]: Again, this has to do with forced seizures. These are actually wrong, independent of any DNA collected. Nevertheless, the government did not do any of that here.

Link [2]: The police claim to have pulled the man over because of probable cause. They have a right to do this. They collected a cigar from his car. I'm not certain of the legality of this, tbh. But as to the legality of pulling over a car suspected of speeding? I'm pretty sure that's legal.

Look, I find government overreach to be a major problem. But this is not a case of government overreach. There was no warrantless anything in this case.

The relative of the rapist has no standing to sue the FBI in court for wrongful use of their information, because they freely provided it to a website. In all the cases you listed, the people (in my opinion) should have a right to have cases dismissed because this information was collected illegally.
A better approach to writing this article would be to gather a wide array of customer features, fit a model using training data from actual fraudulent/non-fraudulent orders, and then interpret the model to explain the features actually connected to fraud.

My guess would be that given there's no reason to believe a particular functional form or additivity of effects, a random forest would likely be the most effective classifier, but ultimately I'd just go with whatever empirically does best on the test set.

As-is the article is basically a pretty naive approach to feature engineering a few features that may or may not ultimately be useful in the real data. It's a cute anecdote, but hire a data scientist.

Disclaimer: the entirety of my orbital mechanics knowledge derives from Kerbal Space Program. I cant recommend it enough if you're really interested in building an intuitive understanding for this stuff.

But no, it's not that you would be pulled into the sun. You would simply be in a solar orbit just like the earth, unless you continued accelerating and reached solar escape velocity (~600km/s). You can think of gravity like successively larger "wells" which you must escape from if you want to go anywhere. You can't just point a spaceship at a planet and go there.

I agree, but chip development is an expensive business. There is nothing preventing Nvidia from immediately turning around and building a specialised ML accelerator with better software integration and higher bandwidth. For all we know they could already be working on one.
I often wonder how much damage the term "affordable housing" has done to the goal of true housing affordability.

Politicians can pretend to be working on improving housing prices, while in reality doing nothing of the sort. As far as I can tell, "affordable housing" requirements produce only false hope for lower-income residents and increased market rates.
Gimp has served me well. It has a lot of features for programmers who need to edit the input to programs. It will output images to ppm, allows you to combine layers with bitwise operations, and it can even export to a .c file with a const array of image data. It is such a precision tool and I love it.

Same MBP here too. I recently replaced the hard drive with a SSD and I feel like it's going to last forever (meaning until the screen dies).
Same here, bought a Apple refurbished 2015 15” last month - but now I have to worry about the display separation issue instead of the touchbar, keyboard and ports.
I just double checked and it seems everywhere I look lists Listopad as meaning November, with October apparently being “Жовтень”. However there are a bunch of other Slavic languages which DO have October as something like Listopad (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_calendar) so perhaps I shouldn’t be so sure of myself in future :-)

ah, I like your arguments because I agree with them. But somehow I'm unable to drive my point home (so your arguments, while right, are not aimed at what I try to say :-)) :-(

let's just say that what you say is logical but sounds a bit incoherent to me. I expect coherency at the level of one's choice : if I complain about a tool because it's non free, because it's spying, then I do my best to not use it, be it mine or someone else's.

RMS says : "proprietary software represents an unacceptable danger to a free society" (citation from https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software ), but somehow proprietary software is acceptable when one needs to make a phone call...

I'm not trying to nitpick about what RMS says ('cos I totally agree with him, and I perfectly understand what the whole thing is about), it's just that, on that occasion, I found the argument weak.

I'll stop the argument here 'cos my english is not good enough to convey my idea precisely (and it's late) :-(

Yeah. I recently had to use IntelliJ after a long period of using Eclipse. IntelliJ does some things better and some things worse, but IMHO, its strengths weren't compelling to override its weaknesses.

> I find those who think [Eclipse is] harder have never used it or bother learning it.

I find that very easy to believe. Some developers just don't seem to want to learn their tools, some want to be elitist about their tools, and the intersection between those sets is embarrassingly large.
Thanks for your response. Interesting to know that this is indeed possible. foundationdb looks amazing from what I've seen and played with so far.
Which is hilarious because fraudsters can trivially acquire many "legitimate" mobile phone numbers by acquiring prepaid phones and there are entire forums (two on Reddit I know of off the top of my head) where people make a few pennies receiving and then sending the verification codes back to the scammer. I actually do a variant of this and keep a couple of crappy Android phones activated on two Sprint MVNOs that I can use as "throwaway" numbers for a service that demands a "real" mobile number for SMS. I have zero desire to give my actual mobile phone number to anyone except friends and family.

Meanwhile, people who are simply trying to get flexible--or, in the case of someone using a Google Voice number on a Google account with 2FA and a strong password, a more secure phone number than T-Mobile could provide--communications are needlessly punished.
> They're doomed.

Honestly, this was my assumption when I signed up for the service. People like me will keep them in business longer than they ought to be (because new people signing up delays their financial failure). But I'm almost at break even after just 1.5 months. As long as they last through June, which I expect they will, I'll have saved money on (mostly) movies I'd have gone to see anyways.
Believe it or not, that's referring to the same teardown as this article. It is a multi-month process.
That's a reasonable train of thought. IANAL, so I don't know if it actually holds water in court.

Although I'm mostly for hook-up's for guys bellow the age of 30. I don't think its healthy for a guy to meet one women and declare her the love of his life. Women in western countries have it too easy to make a mans life living hell.

It's not enough to have good ideas.
I'm in a similar situation, except that mine is from the initial 2012 retina batch. I hate so many of the changes Apple has made to the MBP line in the latest incarnation, so I'm currently leaning towards getting one of older batch that has real ports and real function keys. They can still be bought new from Apple starting a few hundred less than the touchbar variety and you can even save another ~$350 going the refurb route.

I do wish other laptop makers would start to offer hackintosh-friendly models, because at this point it's only macOS that I really want.
Overagressive fraud protection can lose customers as well.

I placed an order to be shipped to my new address from a merchant I'd ordered a dozen times before for home and work. 2 days after the day the order was supposed to ship, they suddenly canceled it due to "security reasons".

I've stopped using that merchant.
Surely there must be a shorter number or string that I can put in my personal information that would be illegal to copy or store. I am ok with being in trouble for having the data, as long as everyone else with the data is in trouble as well.

It seems like there may have been a tipping point sometime in 2017. We are seeing a lot of satellite offices opening in Chicago. Foursquare, Glassdoor and Reddit have announced or moved recently, while Google has been amping up their office. I assume it’s caused by cost of living in SF and Seattle, but can’t be sure.
Now that everyone has smartphones, I wonder if you could do something with the camera... like require a photo or video of the physical card in front of some visual token on the screen for orders that don't ship to the billing address on file...

how du a hack
My programming carrier started at the tender age of ten when my parents smuggled a ZX Spectrum in 1985... good old days behind the Iron Curtain. As weird as the eighties were in Hungary, some of it were beneficial to me: in 1987, I attended a Z80 assembly course in one of the community centers every Sunday. From the second weekend on, it became a one on one education because all the other kids fled. But, because of how those years went, they didn't cancel. I wonder to this day whether he would have done the course to the empty room if I hadn't been there. Wouldn't have surprised me!
ABBA Reunites for New Album
I think it's a general Apple failure mode. They're so wrapped up in the idea of making something completely unheard of, that they overly weight novelty. Most of these "clearly bad ideas" aren't all that clear at the time. I don't think I ever thought the touchbar was going to be a positive addition to a laptop, but when it was announced, there sure were a lot of people who seemed convinced it would. You can make an argument for why it's great, and if your company culture is predisposed towards valuing novelty, you'll anchor to those arguments, and there isn't going to be one guy in the room who can say "no".

That same culture has obvious upsides as well; I'm not trying to just knock Apple as incompetent. I just think the flip side of that coin makes things like the TouchBar more likely to survive scrutiny there.
Do you have some references for this conjecture? This all sounds very "tinfoil hat" for me. Like, sure, what you suggest is totally plausible-- but is it not a stretch to just assume this is a commonplace thing?
It's possible I misunderstand you, but I don't think we're talking about the same thing.

With buses, you have different clocks and data moves between them. Like you said: CPU core 1 has its own clock, the bus between them has its own and different clock, and then CPU core 2 has its own clock which is yet again different. And in those cases you actually want different clocks, because you want to be able to boost CPUs independently from each other.

What I meant goes in another direction: instead of having a single powerful clock source for e.g. a CPU core, you have multiple smaller clock sources distributed throughout the core, but synchronized to each other so they run at the same frequency and phase. So data can move freely like it does today, but clock signals don't have to be distributed as far, which would hopefully make clock distribution easier and less power hungry.

It seems like such a thing should be possible, but perhaps there are good reasons why it isn't done?
Some signals are sent in such a way that you can recover the clock signal from the state transitions. Then use that clock signal to drive the rest of your circuit.
Thanks, directing me to reading material is perfect. I’m not interested in it personally as I don’t need to lose weight or want to take risks.

That's what is intended -- it shows the items currently on the frontpage. So it will not show entry from the previous days because they are no longer on the frontpage. (The UI should not show the previous days in this case, and maybe there is something more I could be doing to make more obvious what is supposed to be happening).

Curiously the entries from April 6 that do show up is a bug due to an issue I had with the process going down for a number of hours, leaving those two entries not being properly updated to remove the 'homepage' flag.
