“Wanting has to go. Wanting to be free from something that is not there is what you call "sorrow.” Wanting to be free from sorrow is sorrow. There is no other sorrow. You don't want to be free from sorrow. You just think about sorrow, without acting. Your thinking endlessly about being free from sorrow is only more material for sorrow. Thinking does not put an end to sorrow. Sorrow is there for you as long as you think. There is actually no sorrow there to be free from. Thinking about and struggling against "sorrow" is sorrow. Since you can't stop thinking, and thinking is sorrow, you will always suffer. There is no way out, no escape.”

Would 3D glasses help? Or is the issue how to deal with the mass of the various layers and organs?
I agree that subscriptions make perfect sense for services (because servers, support, etc. cost money on a monthly basis), but the trend seems to be to create an arbitrary reliance on a hosted service as a way to justify subscriptions. Luckily 1Password hasn't totally gone that way yet, since they still offer standalone licenses for local vaults, but I feel like it's the direction they're going.
It is correct and it is clear. If you have customers in the EU, gdpr matters. If you don't, it doesn't. And either way, you should strive to follow it, because GDPR's rules really are a set of common sense things you should have been doing all along:

- Store your stuff properly (encrypt sensitive data)

- Allow users to download their data

- Allow users to delete their data

- Have a clear privacy policy

- Offer ways to opt out of marketing
Most people seem to agree that under GDPR, IP addresses count as personal information and you either need to get rid of IP addresses, or encrypt the data at rest and respond to deletion/retrieval requests. What makes you sure that this is not the case?
There's no requirement whatsoever that 1Password X be exclusive to a privately-run cloud. Easier to build, possibly (though since it includes the difficulty of building the cloud service in the first place... oh hell no, 100x harder), but it could work just as well with manual syncing (point to a url -> download the backup, or just give it the file).

There's a reason why templates work like this. If they didn't work like this then template specializations that you write can break somebody else's code which is dependent on the template behaving a certain way.
ML actually works for real applications like speech recognition, face recognition, image captioning, etc. While it might be over-hyped it's not a fad that will "wear off". Google aren't going to stop using deep learning for speech recognition and go back to the old hidden markov model technique that barely worked.
Depends on who you ask. As demonstrated by literally every commenter in this thread so far.

Besides, define bytecode. Once it has run through a JIT and diverged from the on-disk representation, is it now native? How is it distinguishable from a binary that detects your CPU architecture and executes different branches of code? What about other forms of self-modifying code?

There are cases where an easy argument can be made (e.g. Java, which has a separately-supplied VM to run your bytecode... but then where's the line with DLLs?), but there isn't an unambiguous line in the sand here. At any line you can produce a new system that straddles it (e.g. a JAR which ships with its own VM. the VM is native code, is the binary now native or not?), and often there are already widely-used examples.
" I am curious how many enterprising app developers would be interested in making and marketing "cloudless" apps that rely on up-front high prices for revenue, but neverending free updates (mostly bug fixes, I would hope). "

One of the biggest reasons that subscriptions are proliferating is because it's really hard to make money with the old model. People don't want to pay large up front prices.

"As far as I can tell, if you're not going to do subscription, there's no way to force users to pay to upgrade to a new version (new features) in the Apple App Store, not sure about Google Play."

You can put a V2 in the store, and stop updating the V1. It's a terrible solution, but it's as good as it's gonna get.

API gateway does the same thing as your own custom per request filters and your own routing attributes. The roles for the Lambda you can just give one or more of the built in policies. If you were using EC2 instances, you would still assign roles to the EC2 instance for the same permissions. If you are doing it outside of AWS you would hopefully setup DMZs firewalls, etc.
This is all very similar to Inter Symbol Interfence in digital comm systems. You don’t want your pixel bleeding into the next, so choosing the appropriate filter to reduce ISI is important.

Typical root raised cosine filters are used, as it is a matched filter for itself, and minimizes ISI depending on the bandwidth chosen.

I suppose Shannon’s capacity theorem can be applied to images, trading off bandwidth for SNR. If resolution is bandwidth, and brightness the SNR, what would capacity be in a photo? The sharpness? That would imply sharper photos would be better off with higher pixel sensors than with dynamic range. You can always decimate to increase SNR.

In electronics, it’s easier to make faster converters than increase dynamic range, so oversample and decimate. Same probably with image sensors.
They will get a 4% fine if and only if they do something worse than they're doing right now, make no effort to comply to the GDPR and they respond to every regulator enquiry with a scan of their private parts.

Quite amazingly 4% of FB's revenue for 2017 is 1.6 Billion Dollars. Intel's anti-competition fine was bigger than that.

"Paid Products I wish were on Mac App Store with free updates"

Why should you get free updates, though?
Respectfully, I disagree. Take your example about drunk driving and killing someone. The pain and suffering that person will experience in the aftermath will be enormous. But you know what? Everything we experience in life is in contrast to our past experiences. It would be likely that person had never experienced such pain, shame, sorrow, and suffering before this experience.

Therefore, every experience of joy they have thereafter will be in contrast to this deep despair. As messed up as it sounds, many times extreme tragedy can lead to more joy and happiness than would be possible otherwise. Simply because they have more awareness and appreciation than they did in the past.

Europe’s open-access drive escalates as university stand-offs spread
Huh, interesting. The paper calls out activity around Derbyshire, and cites a book "Mining, metallurgy and minting in the Middle Ages". The book itself appears to focus on a later period.

Poking around, it looks like there is evidence for lead mining in the Derbyshire region possibly including Roman times, but there isn't any great data floating around.

The other source the authors suggested (Merovingian mining and coin production in France at Melle) seems to have far stronger evidence for large scale production in that time period.

You are talking about mapping sound patterns to words. The parent is talking about understanding what the words actually mean.

Those are very, very different things. We are nowhere near having a computer program that actually understands arbitrary language anywhere close to a human level.

Duplex is a clear example of how far we have to go. They struggle to build a program that can operate effectively in a single, incredibly constrained domain.
Thanks - that makes sense. Guess it's probably best phrased the other way, that these chips are more useful than say a physics accelerator or a cryptocurrency mining ASIC.

Sure. 1Password for Mac had WLAN sync implemented in version 4 there is no reason for us to remove it.

1Password for Windows is a full rewrite and the new codebase never had WLAN sync. We wanted to see if people really need it when we announced 1Password 7 for Windows:

Headspace is a nice app that does some timed guided meditation - you can start by aiming to do five minutes each night. It's free for some level of use, I don't remember the restrictions but the free version is definitely enough to begin a decent meditation habit.

Anybody have recommendations or resources for intermediate amateur astronomers looking to buy a telescope on a budget between $500-$1000? Ideally it would evaluate refractor, reflector, and catadioptric scopes that are reasonably portable. Assume this archetype has mastered solar system observations, knows how to find their way around the sky with an equatorial mount, and is interested in more deep-sky observations.

I’ve looked at an 8 inch Schmidt–Cassegrain scope and the thing is a beast. Would like to know if anybody has a 6 inch they’re happy with and could recommend.
This might be off-topic, but does anyone know of analyses of the effects of the debayering process on modern digital cameras on the end image? For example, based on experimentation, it seems to me that some of the characteristics of Alexa cameras (e.g magenta bleed around highlights) seem to be reproducible in digital material if you apply a pixel mask like that of the Alexa sensor and implement an approximation of the debayer process. I'm not quite confident enough of my conclusions to put my foot down on them yet, though.
You are absolutely right. Yet another reason the Mac App Store is a dumpster fire....
I don't know Warcrafts mapesitor, but just try Atlas out. (I think it's quite good)

Just so many comments that just immediately blame the person without any sort of nuance or analysis of the situation. Just, "it's her fault, not sorry for her"...

I would have loved for this to turn into a contract law discussion, or one on usury in a modern fiat system, or something like that, but instead it turned into a blame the victim circlejerk. (for the most part, there are a few exceptions)
Yes, and that is exactly what would happen. Bus drivers in the EU as a rule are reasonably responsible people. They also have to have special licenses to be allowed to transport passengers.

If you look at 1Password features, a lot of them are simply not feasible to implement without having a server-side component. Most of them revolve around sharing, permissions, automatic backups, account recovery, 2FA, etc.

Vault sharing is simply impossible with iCloud. Sharing with Dropbox requires manual set up of shared folders.
Do you intend to travel with the telescope or install it in your backyard? Do you want to use it for photography? Knowing this will help me in suggesting a telescope.

Avoid refractive ones and go for the newtonian reflector ones or catadioptric ones to see objects in better color. You'll also get more bang for your buck in terms of power.

A telescope with an equatorial stand is better than an alt-azimuth stand because you won't struggle to track objects. But an equatorial stand is heavier and difficult to set up.

A telescope with an automated GOTO is pricier, but you might end up using it a lot more because it'll save you hours that it takes to sometimes find and track an object. Good luck!
Yes, you can export it as a CSV file. They even warn you that it’s not secure.
That's a good idea, but in the meantime: http://archive.is/DoZFv
Your examples don't fit the use-case of the framework, which is for chronic negative thinking, for when you wake up and everything is wrong, or if you're easily triggered by one negative thought which sends you into a tunnel of negative thinking. Most people don't think of negative examples separately-- for example, losing your job is not usually related to how short you are, but most people will vaguely correlate the two, if they're in a bad state, and conclude there might be something inherently wrong with who they are.

When something has gone wrong, one can still think positively about the situation, but the framework to use in that case is to simply ask 'why' over and over again until you've found the true root of the problem. The positive aspect is that you've just been taught a lesson, and you can move on once you've learned that lesson. In the case of drunk driving and killing someone-- obviously you fucked up because you drove while drunk, but why didn't you stop yourself from driving drunk? Why were you drunk in the first place? etc.

For negative thoughts about things that can't be changed, that is simply a matter of perspective. You can put a positive (or non-negative) spin to anything.
S-expressions aren't actually necessary for macros to work. You just have to be able to separate "READ" from "EXPAND" (to use Lisp-ish terminology).

I believe, but am not sure, that this is possible for Go. (Of course, whether this is a good idea is another thing entirely. I probably wouldn't have included macros if I had been put in charge of Go 1.0, given Go's goals of simplicity.)

"Tony was not born optimistic. He practiced it. He put in the effort.

You can do the same."

The phrase "You can do the same" already shows that this person has never dealt with real psychological problems. I wish these self-help gurus would just say "Here is something that works for some people. Try it. Maybe it works and if it doesn't work it's not your fault". Instead you have to defend yourself if the well-meant advice from people doesn't work.
For us, it tends to be driven by the language/logging framework used. When using syslog-type logging messages, we log at critical/fatal for the REALLY bad ones. When using npm-type logging, we try to have the string CRITICAL in the message, triggering the alert on a single occurrence of such messages. General alerts have an x over y time trigger based upon usage/traffic/noise. We also generally encourage using warn as the default error state, only hitting error when things are broken.

(a) 20M EUR

(b) It's possible to simultaneously believe that the GDPR is basically lawless (i.e., that regulatory discretion determines who pays what more than the text of the law does), and basically fine. That's how most of the countries in the world work--China has no law explaining who they'll kill for their organs, but I still know they won't kill me for mine. I happen to like the rule of law, and I'm sad to see Europe degrade that, with its citizens cheering the way; but most humans in history have lived without it.
You can produce a viable alternative for Facebook for less than $1M upfront and pretty low running costs. Maybe $10/user/month or less.

However, nobody has done it. Why? Because it doesn't make any profit.
Everyone needs it, it would save a lot of resources otherwise wasted on useless products and bad political choices, and it would make public discourse much better, but nobody will pay for it.

This is the classic example of when the government should step in. We need to either create a Facebook tax (let people choose who to fund with it, but make sure they pay for it) or make FBs business model illegal. Both would work.

People know their long-term interests but they can't act on them unless corner-cutting is made illegal.
And the governments would have fixed the problem by now, only if Facebook wasn't offering politicians a cheap way to get reelected.

I'm open to new approaches but I can't figure out a solution for this to get funded.

I believe that it's not too bad to let negative thoughts pass through our stream of consciousness everyday. I mean, it's part of being human to have different kinds of emotion, right? The intervention is necessary ONLY IF one feels like negative thoughts are occupying too much of his/her mind space and is debilitating his/her day-to-day functions.

Other than that, we may sometimes be happy, be sad, be angry, be disgusted, be afraid and so on. Just don't linger on one for too long (know that time will help us forget) and that's a good enough approach to manage the emotional flux.
For families:

* Must simpler setup for sharing

I don’t live in China, and the odds that they will come to the US and kill me for my organs are quite small.
