To get as close as possible to perfection isolation, also ground the cage to make it produce much less emissions and use some filtering device on any cords connecting it to power/communication grids (ungrounded Faraday cage only stops incoming communication, not outgoing one).
Basically it's an app that should help break your several-day-road-trip by hours that you'll spend each day driving. You can pick some interesting places that you'll like to visit along your way, and soon you'll be able to share this road with others.

It's using Google Maps JavaScript API, some minimal JavaScript on front-end part, and Node + Mongo on backend.

It still has bugs and a lot of things to do, so this would be a beta-preview :).

I would be very happy if you could provide some feedback here :-)
I bought an HD-Plex case to use with the 35W AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE processor w/ integrated GPU which was just launched. Looking forward to using it.

It's a prestige thing. The current wave can probably be traced to Microsoft in the early 2010s, with its bespoke Segoe type family. Google followed with Roboto, then Apple with SF, and now you've got everyone from Coca-Cola to CNN commissioning their own type families.
The point that the comment above you is trying to make is that a lot of head injuries aren't just impact related but can in fact come from adverse directional acceleration. Anecdotally, I've talked to people who have gotten brain injuries in car accidents without hitting their heads whatsoever.
Key for me is are the pesticides and additives beyond yeast ending up in wines..

"Yet, as natural wine advocates point out, the way most wine is produced today looks nothing like this picture-postcard vision. Vineyards are soaked with pesticide and fertiliser to protect the grapes, which are a notoriously fragile crop....The modern winemaker has access to a vast armamentarium of interventions, from supercharged lab-grown yeast, to antimicrobials, antioxidants, acidity regulators and filtering gelatins, all the way up to industrial machines."
Capacitors in PSUs and GPUs are often, but not always, the parts to blame.
Perhaps there are now, but these algorithms were developed several years ago.

Also AVRs are cheap and very easy to use due to their simplicity.
I've yet to see data this is beating a SVM on a 4-character shingle approach (which also doesn't require tons of data to train).
The best whiskeys in the world are made by the largest commercial firms; ironically, it's the "artisanal" indie stuff that's most likely sourced from huge industrial concerns like MGPI --- and even MGPI whiskey has merits (you just shouldn't pay extra for it).

Well, let's say suddenly you learn a community of elite thinkers eat babies and think it's good way to control population.

You'd be baffled, wouldn't you ?

It's not a matter of morality, of good or bad, or right or wrong.

I understand the difference exists. It just feels so alien to me I can't get to form the mental model that helps me understand what thinking lead to this behavior.

Also, read the other comments, we answered your points already.
I'm pretty sure that there's some measurable amount of coil whine or other noise coming from capacitors and other small components, making it more than -infinity dB, and probably more than 0dB. The sound might not even be within human detectable frequencies.
As I understand it, Rugby has a lower incident rate of concussion, and it's more the outcome of accidents than as a direct aspect of the tackling. That said, it's a very different style of play in Rugby to American Football.

Rugby players just don't deliberately go in with their head for the tackle, which is something you often see with NFL players (some NFL teams have experimented with helmet free tackling practice and seen it improve the game-time tackling effectiveness)

The lack of a stop of play after every tackle in Rugby also tends to ensure players are opting for tackles that they can recover from.

In American Football the expectation is for contact / hit with every play. Contact is just a staple part of every single play for every player. In Rugby, contact is largely down to those with the ball, and those specifically attempting to tackle them. It's a very different contact profile, even before you consider things like helmets and padding and what that does to the mindset of the players.
> You can do “/bin/bash -e” but not “/usr/bin/env bash -e”.

Makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I had a feeling I wasn't understanding your point.
The other poster is correct that film isn't harmed by a brief defrosting as long as you don't get condensation on it (it's packaged in airtight plastic canisters or foil wrappers). As long as you don't let it get hot like sitting in a car or something...

But unrelated note, get an upright/freestanding/chest deep freezer. With a normal fridge/freezer, when you open the door all the cold falls out. The upright freezers form a "well" that keeps the cold in much better. They will hold a freeze for at least 24-48 hours if you don't open the lid, although much longer and you would probably want to be looking for a generator.
Kinda unfortunate timing for him that AMD released Ryzen 5
2400GE about the time as the article was written, which seems like pretty much perfect chip for silent reasonably powerful computer. Sure, it might not be quite as beefy as his 1600+1050Ti combo, but the energy efficiency should be much better. 2400GE is rated at 35W, while 1600+1050Ti is at 65W+75W=140W, or full four times more.

That's odd. The author defends his "backdoor reference checks" by saying he would have never caught the catfish otherwise. Then later on the same person he contacted for his "backdoor reference check" was given to him as a reference, which would have happened regardless.
> You'd have to specify the newer edition for it to work.

That seems to contradict this:

> Most new features are edition-independent, and will be usable on new compilers even when an older edition is selected.

I understand it's currently a moot point, I'm just trying to understand if I'm interpreting it correctly.
The main thing causing off flavors is not the fact that the grapes are grown naturally and organically, it is that they are being fermented by wild yeast. That is the part that is kinda lost in this article. Fermentation with wild yeast can produce unpredictable results and what we would consider bad flavors.

Over time yeast strains have been colonized and maintained that make for a clean and fast fermentation. I mean think wild wine and beer is cool, but we have yeast now you don't have to worry about your wine tasting like a stinky sock, or lit matches. There's nothing inherently more organic by doing that, and the possibility that you are going to have a funky tasting wine is high. The discussion about pesticides and mechanization is another issue.
MacBook Air and Pro both have fans. I don’t know the entire Apple line of all time by heart, so there might have been another MacBook that had no fans.
I still miss hard drive chatter as a proxy for machine being up to something. Sometimes the machine isn’t supposed to be doing anything and it tells me to ask questions.

Now it’s just when the fan on my laptop starts taxiing for takeoff, which can take a lot longer.
Water is a pretty useful resource. It is also more weight to bring into space. Having it already available at a location would be tremendously helpful. Using that water to build space igloos would appear to be a poor use of a valuable resource.
I could say I'm in the same boat. Always wanted to learn such things, but never found the motivation to do so in an effective way.

I picked up various books and different learning strategies along the years but couldn't move forward cause I could not see any practical use for what I was trying to learn.

Fast forward a few years and now I'm learning both physics and mathematics.

What changed is I started working with 3D development for the furniture industry and a while later I got interested in woodworking.

Started doing some woodworking projects and had to learn some basic geometry and trigonometry to calculate cuts.

Now I'm interested in mechanical machines and electrical machines. To be able to build my own machines I have to learn some physics and other branches of mathematics and that's what I have been doing for the past months.

I probably cannot work with formal physics or mathematics but I was able to learn a lot of the concepts behind the formulas and calculations and I believe that is much more important, at least, at first.

The bottom line is you need to find something that motivates you and make you want to learn. That's how it worked for me.
The wine produced today is the best wine that humanity has produced, ever. Thanks to modern biology, technology etc.

Even the "natural" wine is nowhere close to the "natural wine of yesteryear" thanks to the modern barrels, modern temperature control, modern bottling techniques etc. etc.

The problem with modern "natural producers" (be it wine or any other produce) is that they pretend to be anti-technology, anti-pesticides, anti-<you name it> while selectively enjoying the very same advantages they are speaking out against. And when it comes to grapes... I wonder if their organic wines can survive only because they enjoy the group immunity against the very many grape diseases [1][2]

You'd have to lay insulation against the ice so you can have a warmer interior, but that's still a pretty good mass savings. You'd use ice for the heavy structural elements and then only lift the lighter stuff.
Sure, but most mobile OSes don't support a full desktop experience well, and you're limited to bluetooth peripherals only. Unless you have a rare phone that comes with a docking station.
Writing and maintaining enterprise software with React
When working with real world data almost everything is more important than being able to use the most abstract methods "to extract the last bit of data". It's often extremely fuzzy to begin with, the collection process to what it represents, for me, while I love math and see it as the "magical language" in a magical world, I find common sense and a certain kind of work ethics go soooo much further than any math Ph.D. I (with a CS degree) wanted to start another study (over a decade later, thirsting for new theory and new knowledge) and chose math - but that was around the same time edX and Coursera etc. got up and running with loads of courses, and I ended up ditching the additional math degree for loads and loads of courses in fields like medicine and biology, deciding to go for breadth instead. Of course, that's purely personal and even as an anecdote not worth much to anyone. It's just that I too got disillusioned with (higher and higher) math as an helpful tool in practical life. Of course I still see the benefits in many fields, but I think a surprisingly low number of very good specialists may be all we need. The rest of us can just ask them when we actually do need something.

Right now I'm taking a "math. modeling" course. Still, the only use case I ever found was... other courses! I already modeled a little bit in a biology course. Sure, in real life I could model this or that, but the truth is that a very rough estimate guided by experience and "feeling" has always been enough. There are too many variables that cannot be accurately measured, so going for a nice model is kind of useless.

For example, I was just asked today about the performance of the crypto-hash-connected data storage and exchange library I wrote. Now that sounds like something I could model! Only experience tells me that's useless. The only worthwhile answer is to set up a concrete scenario, with a concrete app using it, concrete network and concrete systems, and test it. Could be anything from smartphones to well-connected servers. Sure I could create a sophisticated model and simulation - and it would be useless.

Maybe I'm just a bit, or more than just a bit, disappointed that all the considerable amount of math I learned in my life didn't seem to be of nearly as much use as I would have hoped. I'm also frustrated each time such a topic comes up and everyone is so excited about how great it is, and I always feel like I'm missing something despite trying hard, like the color blind guy looking at paintings. I mean the usefulness to me, not understanding it.
U.S. May Grant Reprieve to ZTE – EE Times
Is there any laws around this having to be accurate? What makes you say it's higher than the bottle says? I know nothing about this, so mainly just curious for you to expand more on your comment.
I haven't found such functionality in my MoBo, but a tinkerer could also use one more cord to move the power button where the rest of the controls are.
Yes. You're programming a person instead of a computer but that's the only difference.

Yeah, that's just the keto diet you're referring to. I've read no where where it is dangerous like the article here states.
Inductors, actually, are most often to blame (hence - coil whine, also why they're covered in goop in most devices).
It's crazy how much of the wine world is an 'emperor's new clothes' kind of situation.

There was a study done a little while ago (http://www.caltech.edu/news/wine-study-shows-price-influence...) which showed that people perceive wine very differently depending on price. Even if it's the same wine. So somebody who's told they're tasting a $90 bottle will rate it much better than somebody who's told they're tasting a $5 bottle, even though they're both drinking the exact same thing.

After all the uproar over Brochet's "The Color of Odors", I did a tasting with a few friends where I chilled red and white wines down to the same temperature, and had them try the wines blindfolded. Across 6 people who all considered themselves wine enthusiasts, it was pretty dicey even being able to tell a Merlot from a Sauv Blanc. Maybe it was my just my lame friends, or maybe I chose bad wines. Or maybe not.

Different professional wine tasters will rate a given wine extremely differently. And they'll comment on different 'subtle notes of chocolate' in a product that is entirely made of grapes and yeast.

I would be genuinely surprised if a double-blind test revealed that aging a particular bottle actually makes it taste better in a measurable way. Different, maybe. But if 'better' is subjective, then it's by definition not 'better' in an absolute sense.

I enjoy a nice glass of wine, don't get me wrong. But the culture around it is elitist and unscientific, and I'm glad to see winemakers trying to tear it down a peg or two.
This is beautiful and the video really sells it (if walls aren’t like this in the near future then what is all of this for?). But is this “just” a large screen Windows computer running in kiosk (or whatever) mode? Could I get a classic windows desktop by hitting windows-d?
A few Chromebooks fit this description as well, at least they used to.

My Samsung Chromebook from 2012 has an ARM processor, solid state storage, and no fans. It is pretty slow by today's standards though.

I think several companies make cases for the Intel NUC boards that radiate the heat away and have no fans, too.
Windows Updates Broke Your Networking? 0patch to the Rescue (CVE-2018-8174)
At my college, we had a bar with a custom account management system (it managed the credit of each students).

The thing was all text/ncurses.

The terminal was an under-clocked PII, with all the fans removed and connected to the server using a serial cable and it was kind of necessary since the environment was quite hostile and sticky (spilled beer, some fat deposit, etc).

If I recall correctly before the PII, it was a VT-100 console, so even more basic than the PII.
A long time ago, about the time someone tried to coin the term invisible computing, I figured out how to hook a monitor arm to my couch, and I put the tower behind it. 3 inches of padding can absorb a lot of sound.

Still kinda miss that couch.
Its the super thin 12 inch MacBook they currently sell, which is just called "MacBook".
Oh gosh, coil whine.

I had a Geforce 280 that would scream like hell whenever it was at full power and its framerate went below about 10 or above about 100 FPS. I was glad when it broke some other way and got replaced under warranty.
I think it would be interesting to mix the two ideas and have a (Dolby Atmos/Windows Spatial) spatial sound map model for some of these games that includes the hum and fuzzing noises of the CRT scanner and the terrible locations of old Harmon-Kardon PC speakers right beside that CRT and a tiny bit of random electromagnetic interference. Really go for that 90s PC gaming experience.
Buy a book and take a course. It won’t be enjoyable but being examined on what you learn will provide focus. Find a small group of people doing the same or similar learning, so you can discuss the different problems each of you will have. Persevere and plan carefully. Otherwise you’ll waste time and energy. Don’t get sidetracked by great presentations and new tech from internet-based resources; remember what the objective is...
I don't remember if the moon was the target, but I recall there was a probe in the last 30 years or so that was deliberately crashed into something just to study the debris that was kicked up.
Actually, there are not many pointers to exercises. I believe they may be planning to add some written materials, so maybe in the future, but not currently.

The videos suggest pausing and trying to figure the next bit out yourself and a couple of the videos do end with a suggestion to prove something yourself.
On the upside, the person who was trying to get a job seems very good at selling. Certainly, they seem good at selling themselves. If this is for a sales job, then the energy they showed should count in their favor, and the work they put in, as well as the easy social graces that charmed everyone.

I've known honest salespeople, but generally sales, as a profession, does not reward complete honesty.

The important thing would be to find out if this guy was lying to hide previous criminal behavior. That would be important to protect the current company from. But if there was no criminal behavior in this guy's past, I'd be interested in seeing if they could hook new customers as well as they hooked the hiring company.
The technology does exist it's called radar, and there is already a mission on the books (the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or JUICE) which will take just such an instrument to Jupiter and its moons in the early 2020s.

P.S. There's also Europa Clipper, but the funding is less certain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Clipper
> That would fall under criminal law. So even if the victims couldn't sue Uber due to the ridiculous arbitration clause, the person committing the crime could still be arrested and go through the usual criminal justice process. Is that correct?

Yep. Uber doesn't want to end up in court because they connected you with a rapist contractor. They'd end up getting sued and losing the emotional appeal to the jury, even if they hadn't been negligent in their process of connecting you with a "safe" driver by doing reasonable background checks.
Yes, but they might have naively used the given number rather than the number they personally had, out of convenience, which would have caused the catfish to succeed.
Are you saying you don't see any connection between decades of leaders who believe the government should have its funding cut and be less involved in business, and the fact that the government is so starved for resources that it can scarcely afford to get involved in businesses' disputes? There appears to be a pretty straightforward cause-and-effect relationship there.
Out of all of the possible people to choose as your fake manager, this person chose one out of the two people that I knew from Acme Corp

Someone who I had interviewed and who turned out to be a terrible employee (we fired him after 9 months of trying to find something he could do right) listed me as a reference on his resume.

Problem for him was that the hiring manager at the next place where he applied turned out to be a friend of mine.

The world's smaller than you think it is!
With the two GPUs running full tilt, probably good enough to easily add 'tropical plant horticulture' to one's hobbies.
Of the two I'd like the 84" one, its got the 4K screen, the 1920 x 1080 screen of the smaller one doesn't allow for a good drawing experience. CDW also claims to sell that one for about 30% over list from the Microsoft site.

And while I get the relabeled Teams stuff as Skype for Business I would assume it is also compatible with Skype for humans :-).

In my home lab I would use it for collaboration with remote folks, brainstorming, video watching, program planning and parts location storing. In my fantasy world I select a component or assembly I need and it shows the layout of the lab with an arrow indicating where that piece is stored, the last time it was known to be there, and perhaps re-order information.

Maybe, but it is tricky.

Because there is no pump the water will flow much slower, therefore you need much bigger pipes. Think at least 3x the diameter you would think you need.

Also because you are depending on thermo siphon you have to ensure you have to ensure the water flow works with gravity. The heat source must be at bottom, and the radiator must be at the top. You don't get any flexibility go around something that might be in the way, the pipes must always be sloped in the correct direction.

If you are using anything other than water you need to pay attention to specific gravity (and how it changes with temperature), and viscosity. Probably something else that I'm not thinking of.

It probably can work. I have an antique tractor that uses such a system. A 2.2L, 16hp engine, has 24L of coolant, and the pipes between the engine and radiator are noticeably bigger than my truck with a 7.3L 250HP engine. Remember that this was designed to run at just under the boiling point of water (antifreeze is too modern). You probably want your computer considerably cooler, which implies even larger systems than a similar active one.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this! Can't wait to get inspiration from the paper to my work! ;-)
Probably because they couldn’t get an interview any other way, the reason this person got so far in the process was not because they were qualified for the job, but because the hiring manager liked the fact that they used to work at the same place together. Which is a crappy reason to hire someone.
Thinking about it more it could be simplified to just be an execline script and separate binaries for 'package', etc.
Not for nothin' but I think the new guy in dev ops has malaria.
