Ten thousand years ago they could walk away, they might die but they wouldn't kill everyone that they could conceive of. The resources weren't obviously limited, the idea that everything they could conceive of would be lost wouldn't have occurred. The absolute limitation, the sacrifice, the need to keep sacrificing for un told generations...

THEY HAD NO SKY. They had no future but theory...

Build an iOS App with Mapbox – New Video Tutorial
Just a couple of thoughts/questions if you don't mind:

- How's the supply-chain side of things? For a while, vendors would only sell one Pi at a time, if they had stock at all. Have you had any problems with that?

- Why do your customers know or care that there's a Pi inside? It seems like an implementation detail that only a select few would ever think to ask, unless you're telling them. "COTS ARM Cortex A53" would likely be enough to make most people's eyes glaze over before digging enough to discover that there's a "hobbyist" board inside.

Edit: I looked at your website and get it :). You're selling hosting, not pre-packaged devices. That's really interesting!

I think few people know that a bunch of public transit was actually electric in the early/mid 20th century. Car companies, most notably GM, conspired to convert public transport to gas to make public transit less comfortable compared to private car ownership[1].

So you are telling me you never qualified at a workplace with longer than a month probation period?

Do you see how that putting-words-in-others-mouths looks? It's rude and does not contribute too any kind of productive discussion.
Not really :/ my tube guitar amp is 5w and has an EL84 output tube. The tube alone is $5-$20 and there's the transformer which can be $100 or more. A single MOSFET can do the same job for less than $1 and similar wattages without the transformer.

You can get MOSFETs that'll switch 500v for under $2 as well. Check out the irf820, I issued it to drive an fx loop in my amp design.

This changes at extreme power levels. There are few semiconductors that'll transmit in the thousands of watts. Tubes still are used in transmission technology for this reason.
If you have enough data and a strong enough signal, then all reasonable belief systems should converge on the same answer. Do not let that fact fool you into believing that raw data is the only thing necessary to make good decisions when faced with realistic situations.

I do hope you are not being serious, but assuming you are not, then quite an amusing response.
This is especially troubling when combined with confirmation bias. The whole point of data is that it anchors us to reality. Data should be the check that prevents us from believing something simply because we want it to be true. But if we only test theories we already suspect are true, we are already biasing the kinds of false positives we will get.
Mine hasn't, as there were too many things which didn't quite work. (Uber, lack of podcasts, difficult to play language lessons as MP3s, etc.)

Instead I made my smartphone much dumber, and it isn't really distracting now. But, I'm hoping a future watch os will have a better third party app development framework and allow it to be truly phone independent. I bought the watch hoping for phone independence.
I hadn't thought of it that way, but yes, I think the KM counts

To make it work, they had to cripple Apache Groovy so you can't use its functional collections-based functions. Not sure if you can really call it "Groovy" with that handicap.

If this is true then why does non consenting human experimentation happen ever?

In any case, hierarchies like that are almost totally arbitrary, like anything about a culture.

I'm just poking the bear here and seeing what comes out. Let's play with this more.
“how safe is it to conclude that H_0 is not true”

What I meant here by H_0 was the hypothesis that the difference between groups is less than some particular threshold. I think if you made the threshold large enough then it would not be safe to conclude that H_0 is not true.

"You are ignoring a lot of the model being tested here (eg, normality, independence of the measurements, etc) and only considering one parameter. "

I said enough so that if you were arguing in good faith you could fill in the gaps yourself.

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

> There are a few grammatical errors (missing word, missing comma) that are forgivable but I find that any imprecision in language is a big detriment for a student trying to understand an explanation. I tend to get hung up on those since, not knowing the material, I can't resolve ambiguities with context. Since subtleties are important in math it would be worthwhile to go over the explanations again with a fine-toothed comb to ensure there are no typos or amphiboly.

Yeah, this is a pet peeve of mine for sure. I am not very precise when it comes to written prose.

I was thinking of airtasking out a grammar check, since I'm pretty awful at catching my own mistakes here. I might just do that.

> The visuals aren't always clear. For example, volumes don't show edges so it's hard to make out that you're seeing a volume rather than an irregular area (and which volume you're seeing). Also I think a caption to each image could be useful, to describe how the shape demonstrates the concept. Something like "this visual represents a shear transformation of the matrix described above", just to be really explicit and clear.

Great idea. I've added it to my list at https://github.com/smspillaz/intuitive-math/issues/8
Deep into science fiction here with EUV...
The trick with that is that it also prevents wrapping except on new lines in the source. Looking at the potential values, I'd recommend pre-wrap instead, which at least allows avoiding horizontal scrolling, at the cost of requiring you to write the entire contents in a single line of markup. Annoyingly, it doesn't seem like there's a way to avoid multiple spaces being collapsed without also giving special meaning to keeping the source less than 120 characters (or whatever other measure) wide.
As I said it depends on what you mean by “fatter than normal”.
Shenzhen resident here. Every time a large petroleum vehicle goes past I hear it. On the other side of the block there is a bus depot - totally silent - all Shenzhen buses and 50% of taxis are now electric. It's great.
Thanks!

> One annoyance is that the graphs don't render if they're slightly off-screen (and they render slowly/fade-in or something) so it can be somewhat annoying to scroll back/forth between graphic examples.

Yeah. This was an engineering tradeoff - there's a limit on the number of WebGL contexts (15 for Firefox, for instance) that can be running at any time so I had to turn off rendering of the visualizations when offscreen.

If anyone knows a better way to approach this, please let me know!

As a partial solution, carefully describe the reality of the work they'll be doing. For example, "We're building a bespoke web server using our own in-house programming language based on COBOL. The project has already been cancelled, but for political reasons, we need to produce another million lines of code on it over the next nine months." Etc.

In the face of such frankness, many lazy asses may decide to exclude themselves. ;-)
Maybe this cockamamie way of doing interviews is the correct one then? Each company tries their own thing, and if you get flustered and bomb it, we'll both parties know it not a good fit. Some companies value the ability to learn and be cool under fire, some like GPAs, some like HW tests. The sorting occurs and is not 'fun' but works in it's own way.
I suppose you can read the file if you can intercept an open fd, read it, and write it somewhere. It could possibly be the now vacant previous location.
> You consider two hours a limited window? To automate capturing traffic for any domain on the internet? Just as one example, you could initiate bank transfers for everyone doing online banking at any bank. Malware sitting on desktops have been doing this instantly, automatically, using valid sessions from the client side, for like a decade. No reason they couldn't do this sitting in the middle.

Again, I'm not saying that this isn't a big deal but that you're really downplaying the level of effort required for the worst-case scenarios. Besides the average script kiddie not being likely to compromise an ISP to send the malicious announcements, your online banking scenario would only work for the people actively logging in during those two hours to banks which don't use IP fixing, out of band confirmation or other precautions to actually transfer money (every single financial institution I use has a period measured in days with human-on-phone verification to setup a new outbound transfer target); whose security staff don't check certificate transparency logs; and you'd have to develop the code to collect credentials and run the transfer for each bank, taking care to avoid triggering key-pinning and other high visibility errors.

Malware is similar: yes, it'd suck if you could get a valid HTTPS cert for someone's automatic update service but these days those certificates are pinned and most system use signed updates which would require a separate exploit to avoid.

One thing to remember is that this is coming after a decade of everyone responsible in the tech industry trying to protect against malicious state actors. This attack is what happens all the time to people in countries with repressive governments.
Not having done that, I can't speak from experience but it really is an individual decision. My first job was 6-1/2 years, the second, 9. I chose to stay because I liked what I was doing and the people I worked with, the work was nationally important (contracts with the intelligence community), I was very well paid compared to peers (according to surveys I read), and the benefits were top-notch. And, to be complete, I really hate interviewing and starting out at the ground floor in new jobs.

Keep in mind, this is me. Your mileage may vary.
One of my observations is that the cost of buying a house for most people has several components, capital costs, financing costs, taxes, and insurance. One assumes that if you increase property taxes that cuts into the amount that can be financed, which reduces the amount that can be financed, which means the price has to come down.

Difference between mortgage interest in a world of global finance and property taxes is property taxes pay for local services, where mortgage interest ends up who knows where. But it isn't paying for your communities roads, transit parks or schools, police and fire.
Our human desires and values are the whole point of the system, though. Anyone designing a "political economy" should treat the experience of the people living in it as the most important thing -- abstract concepts like "efficiency" are ultimately just ways to affect that experience.

Ideology certainly plays an important role in generating false hypothesis, but all the observational sciences suffer from the problem that you can't run experiments to rigorously test the robustness of your hypothesis.

In the experimental sciences you can get far using the rule of thumb that if you need statistics you did the wrong experiment, while in the observational sciences the use of statistics is inherent.
And yet this article is about 75% human interest fluff and 25% substance.
That is the problem with these hypotheticals, yea. In what circumstance do we absolutely need to perform human experimentation on unconsenting humans to get results?

But because these are my favorite too-drunk-at-a-bar conversations I wanna give it a crack. Here's a couple things I think require human experimentation

1. Creative a definitive best-practice guide to child rearing. I.e., hitting yes/no? Shouting at yes/no?

2. Fully understanding primitive/baseline human psychology absent of culture, which could help us understand if there is for example biological morality, how to teach language, how languages form. Can't see how to do this without abandoning a child in the wilderness.

3. Determining best-case formula for human tribal organization. I.e. what's the most effective leadership traits, organizational schemes, rule enforcement mechanisms... Could be figured out with Vaults ;)

4. Is post-death ressurection possible and at what point? I suppose you can get consent before death, but does that count when that individual terminates?

Can you think of any more? What are your thoughts on what would be "worth it?"
This is like Functional programming , and people have a very hard time with it. Instead of passing around numbers "95% true" or whatever, we're passing around function "It's 2x as likely as you though it was, please insert your own prior and update", but even worse, it's "please apply this complicated curve function at whatever value you chose for your prior". It's just too hard for people to manage. Computers can do it (but it's hard for them too, very computationally intensive), and you have to really trust your computer program to be working properly (and you have to put your ego in the incinerator!) to hand over your decision-making to the computer.

Well, after a while or is sort of public knowledge that 10nm Intel is about the same as 12nm AMD, etc.

FWIW, I think the big dust pan idea is kinda silly.

I keep expecting someone to come up with baleen whale inspired barges. Big gulping mouth that is somehow wave actuated. Wave action for propulsion. Clever filters that pull out just the plastics. Cook the debris in place with sunshine and bacteria.

As stupid simple as possible. Huge fleet. Set them loose and wait.

If this was sci-fi, the barges could reproduce and evolve, of course.
I disable most notifications, and even the ones that are turned on are silent ones. I keep the phone aside on the table almost all the time, and consider myself a relatively mild user of the smartphone. Where I really miss the phone and feel handicapped without it is when I have to quickly look something up on google/dictionary. e.g, if I have a quick random question about why something is the way it is, what causes some symptoms etc. I can't imagine going back to childhood (90s) when we had to go to libraries or ask poorly knowledgeable people about stuff.

In a way, I feel this is the future. Human beings are supposed to become one with the machine at some point. People who dislike that or choose to stay away might actually be likely to be outcast and be considered weird. I already see that happening, for example when I tell people I don't have a facebook account. It boils down to, "Do I value personal privacy, or being connected to the world's information flow ecosystem?". And I am not sure that choosing to be private is the obvious right answer at this point. And it might not even be possible in the near future.

Supply for the "normal" Pi has never been a problem AFAIK. Only the Pi Zero has these problems. But as you noted: We don't sell prepackaged hardware: Only the software and service. Shipping/Warranty/Return handling seems pretty complicated and not worth the hassle (at least for now). Instead we made the installation as simple as possible and as a result users only have to unzip a single ZIP file to an empty SD card and put that in their Pi. So far even to most non-technical users managed to do that.
You’re probably right. Perfunctory research into the author reveals a focus on clean energy, and very few articles at all about China.

I count significantly less than 100 organisations, I started with the CCADB (the database shared by Mozilla and Microsoft) for all intermediates, I cut those that aren't part of the Mozilla root programme, and then I asked for the "CA Owner" field, which avoids thinking a single owner is really several distinct entities when it isn't.
this is a beautiful piece of writing, thank you for sharing.
What exactly do you think it mean for someone's experience of discomfort to be "unreasonable"? And why do you think that justifies taking actions that we know are likely to cause someone else discomfort?

I can't say I find your examples particularly justifying. I think we should leave agoraphobic introverts alone if that's what they want. I think sales and advertising are obnoxious and society would be better without them. And I think people should be free to explore different views at their own pace, as long as they're not hurting anyone. Or if they are hurting someone, then that discomfort caused by challenging their views is justified, but it's still a bad thing in itself.
Heh, when I think of embedded code I don't think of 12 MB. That's not to say this isn't useful. I usually try to size the hardware to the task. Sometimes the task calls for a little 8-bit micro, sometimes analog-only.

When the job calls for a heavy linux-running processor, this seems like it could be interesting, as long as I can dig out all the details of what it's actually doing. The chips I use usually have an errata document 20+ pages long, and we usually find some new bugs to add to it during development. It's hard to code around hardware bugs period, and that's in a language hardware guys know, like C or assembly. Debugging hardware code written in Erlang sounds... challenging.
I think you're conflating two different things: that such systems should generally be oriented towards maximizing human wellbeing (which I wholeheartedly support) and such systems should be vulnerable to human input/error (problematic in almost every conceivable situation).

Of course you can't swap every system we have for a fair and automated equivalent. You also run into problems around the question of what we should optimize for, which will be swayed by a person's political opinion. Ideal systems would probably lie at a balancing point between socialism and capitalism (as a model, equivalent to tuning parameters), but establishing that point and getting everyone to agree on it would be extremely challenging.

I find it helps to access Facebook purely through their website, and just use their Messenger Lite app for messaging. This solves a lot of issues.

Before computers could do the complicated math of proper Bayesian updating, it was impossible to get the answer to the question people were asking ("probability of fact given evidence?"), and the science community decided that they'd rather get good answer to bad questions ("probability of evidence given fact?") then bad answers to good questions.
I'm curious if the word, "hunger" is a poor choice in comparison of using "lack of food" and because I rarely eat in comparison to most people. I've become accustomed to not having hunger overtime as a result of fasting and otherwise one meal per day. I do believe the gateway of pain is true.
Unless you're astoundingly good, if companies are interviewing around N candidates for each position, you should expect a hit rate of around 1/N. Doing significantly better pretty much requires all three of those to be simultaneously false.
Amazon's only at the top due to stock appreciation. Lyft, Airbnb, Google, Facebook, and Uber (all of which have offices of varying sizes in the Seattle area) pay better than Amazon.
How To Use gdb in Real Life
I would assume they go far out of their way to resolve the address from a large number of distributed DNS resolvers - the question is if they're just round robin instead of multiple simultaneous queries, but I would hope that's part of why the DNS test usualy takes >60 seconds. If they're not treating DNS as a consensus protocol instead of as an immutable database, they'll always be open to poisoning attacks.

If any certs were issued for hijacked domains (which as far as I've ready was only one, not using LetsEncrypt), it's a pretty glaring failure on the issuer, assuming they used "DNS Validation"
Doesn't have to be a majority of Tor users, if the tiny minority of actors are flooding tons of stolen cc transactions. A normal person may make an online purchase a day or so, while someone trying to get as much value as possible out of a bunch of stolen cc may just spam a lot of transactions.

For the server seeing the incoming cc purchase requests, it's still majority fraud...
Well, speaking of firmware, the current state of Samsung's SSD firmware is incredibly poor.

I jumped ship from SATAs to M.2 a month ago with a new computer and to quickly sum up the situation with Samsung 960 Pro from own experience and hundred page long threads on official product forum:

- last published firmware on website is 2 (don't know the long number now, writing from phone)

- a version 3 was released, system freezing started occurring in some cases and some people even ended up with bricked drives (in relation to eDrive IIRC)

- bricked drives could be reportedly used again after PSID revert, but Samsung consistently refuses to release the tool (other manufacturers do and the tool is also useful for recovering drive with lost OPAL password)

- firmware 4 reportedly exists, which can be obtained through Magician (Samsung's tool for SSD) and should solve problems from version 3. Conflicting reports on performance.

The craziest stuff is that:

- Magician will now tell you there is a new firmware for your drive, but it won't tell you with which version is it going to "enrich" your shiny new drive. Will I get 3? Or 4? Especially when only 2 is posted on the Samsung's page!

- firmware changelogs are kept secred, just install this for no reason

- no downgrades are possible

Worse than X25-M password bug. You have to be scavenging official forums for information that should be posted with the firmware and be cursing at/begging moderators to reveal some more. Ah and reportedly there is some mysterious incompatibility with major BIOS vendors in regard to eDrive. No, they won't tell what the bug is, nor on what boards.

Also, custom OPAL PBAs (image flashed to special unlocked area on disk for booting with disk locked down) don't boot in current desktop boards. Might be non-Samsung issue, maybe the one mentioned above.

How does this stuff work together at all?
There's not a huge amount of marine life in some of those rivers. For others, like the Mekong, they are expansive delta regions rather than simple rivermouths which would prohibit the approach.
