I really don't get why people think this is possible. Even with microcells and loads of spectrum, you might be able to get 2gigabit/sec of internet per cell, which would be enough for perhaps a couple hundred streams (not including all the other internet services people require all the time).

Considering most cells right now serve thousands if not tens of thousands of devices, there is simply no way that wireless broadband will ever be able to service that, unless you have hundreds of femtocells, but at that point you might as well just deliver fibre to the home as you'll be a few metres from the premises.

5G really changes nothing of this. Shannon's law dictates this and we are close to topping out on it in terms of radio efficiency.
Okay, but who decides? Unlike ads, which are objectively present, the apparent bias of the news can be very subjective.
Meetup: Deploying your cloud app to PCF
In the US in 1960 one can find wage surveys[1] where one finds saleries of:
Electric, gas, sanitary services: $6147/yr
Wholesale and retail trade: $4478/yr

The first would be where janitors would go and retail is another poorly paid job today.

The average house cost in 1960 [2] was $11,900.

So with a house price of around two times yearly income, we get to about $100k wage for a janitor or retail clerk in 1960. US post WWII was a pretty unique situation, but one would hope that you should be able to more than imagine such a situation. You can study the existence of such a culture in the recent past and still talk to people who actually lived it.

Why is doing "in-line" signatures a worse design or a source of vulnerabilities? Are there any benefits for providing an in-line signature?

Any examples or additional information would be appreciated. Trying to better understand the issue at hand.
I have trouble calling it a paradox, because there is nothing that needs explaining in my view. Just throw in the fact that known fudge factors are important, and throw in the fact that there are more fudge factors that we don't know.

For example the traditional Drake equation doesn't include as a major factor "large moon that stabilizes the axial tilt over evolutionary time". And yet that seems to be needed and at least somewhat rare.

The traditional Drake equation doesn't include as a major factor "life not wiped out by a supernova over evolutionary time". And yet per http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/supernove-distance there are estimates that this might happen on average once per 15 million years. From the Cambrian explosion to the present is around 540 million years. The odds of that forbearance is on the order of 7 billion to 1 against. How much does THAT change the Drake equation?
An Electron app doesn't need to be slow just because it uses the browser DOM, but UI mutations will almost universally be slower than their native counterparts. Now, if the desktop app is poorly written and the Electron app is well-written, then of course the Electron one can be faster, because there can be sources of slowness other than UI mutations.

Let me illustrate the DOM question with an example.

Let's say you've got an "old style" jQuery to-do app. The user types something into the field, and clicks "Add".

- The input field will be cleared

- A new element will be added to the list, containing the string

- The counts for "total items" and "items remaining" will be updated

Now let's say you rewrite this app in React. The user types something into the field, and clicks "Add".

- The input field will be cleared

- A new element will be added to the list, containing the string

- The counts for "total items" and "items remaining" will be updated

Your code that accomplishes this will look completely different - much more readable and less fragile - but the exact same DOM API calls will be made, and it will perform exactly the same.

The "speed" we associate with React is not in comparison to "old school" libraries, but to the naiive way of achieving data-driven syntax. You could just nuke the page entirely and re-render everything from scratch each time your data changes. This would be the easiest way of achieving data-driven syntax, but it would indeed be extremely slow. React gives you (something approaching) the performance of jQuery-style mutation, with the developer experience of reconstructing the DOM from scratch every time data changes.
The ideology of male breadwinner is quite alive in more conservative and evangelical circles. Man living in such social group whose women earn more have lover social standing and consequently don't want it. Then there are people who don't care and I know of no groups that would believe in women being expected to he breadwinners.

So the bias would be toward that way.
Did you already have cookies installed? I found that if I let it load a cookie then block it, it would load (but it already had a cookie on there, defeating the point). Try clearing out everything (or try on IE)
Instead, think of it this way. If a coin wins, it must necessarily be 100-10000x larger to "hold" the value of the monetary supply. If there's a 20% chance of "some coin winning" and you have 10 equally probable suspects, each of those suspects has a value of 1/10 of some portion of M1 * 0.20 probability.

It's not bandwidth savings. It's growing the user base.
There are lots of people on low bandwidth connections. Maybe now they don't find Netflix watchable, because the video quality is to crappy. But if you can fit higher quality video into the same bandwidth, they'd become users.

I agree with your overall point though, that at some point the extra cost for encode isn't worth it.

Hm, good point. The idea was to have it accessible for everyone, not just me, and to get bigger and nicer stuff. Some equipment on kids' can actually be used by all of the heaviest adults, but it's not allowed. Build it a bit more stable, maybe bigger and just allow it..

>Another thing: It's Ok for some elements to be different between browsers.

This is one of those lessens that took me a while to learn. I spent a lot of my time early in my career trying to get every pixel the same between between IE and Firefox until someone asked my why I cared. I never gave the "why" much thought until that point; it was just something I felt I needed to do. As long as the site functions correctly and looks good in the various browsers, getting them exactly the same is nothing but a fool's errand.
> How can it "become backed"?

1. Create 1m Tether out of thin air (unbacked).

2. Use them to buy 1000 BTC (when the price was 1000$).

3. BTC Price goes up to 10,000$.

4. Sell 1000 BTC for $10m. Keep $9m, and put $1m into a bank account to "back the tether".
> But printing the money is only useful in that it manipulates the market price to go that 10% higher which is where you make the profits.

If you print money you have free money. That's pure profit. Anything else is just a bonus.
But that's my point, it will give a smaller-sized competition more chances to differentiate, since users might start looking for something better.
As you say, that is an extremely moving letter. I would never have associated Doom with therapy - thanks for sharing. (I am a big fan of John Carmack and the id team.)
Given that outside of the Switch the consoles are x86 AMD made socs, even consoles have bowed to the PC.

In hindsight i feel the Amiga's custom chips was actual an Achilles heel. Yes it allowed each model to sprint out of the gate, but it also limited how far the user could upgrade them.

In contrast the only thing on the motherboard of a PC of the era (once we hit the 386 and later) was the CPU and RAM. Everything else lived on replaceable boards hooked to a bus. And as the Pentium era showed, even the bus could be "replaced" by placing a new one (PCI) side by side with the old one (ISA).

All this allowed a continuation of sorts, where a humble DOS box could live on into the Win9x era in some way or other.
I asked how his statement could be true while your statement could be false (which would show that even if his statement was granted then your statement could be new and non-obvious). You replied by claiming that his statement isn't justified while your statement is. This is a formalization of an intuitive argument, not a surprising dissolution of a paradox.

In other words, if other researchers had considered his statement and dismissed it without doing the sort of analysis being formally written up in this paper, then those dismissive researchers would have been making a mistake.

As I said elsewhere, I think these sorts of formalizations are really very helpful. Perhaps, given the sloppy thinking in this area, even more helpful than novel results. I generally think review articles are distillation is vastly undersupplied
None that could ever be an existential threat to the gatekeepers tough; that only happens on the open web. Which is about to be a lot less open.
If your GP can't offer you a referral, honestly the best you can really do is just pick a psychiatrist or psychologist nearby who accepts your insurance. Either can diagnose you if there is something to be diagnosed. Both can offer therapy, only psychiatrists can proscribe medication.

If you end up doing therapy and don't feel like it's working with that professional after a few sessions, they should be able to refer you to other psych* or therapists. In this case there's no hard feelings, most psych professionals will be the first to tell you that not all patients will click with all therapists.

I didn't say it's better :) Just an alternative.

One way to handle logout (without closing the browser) is to have a logout link with a destination of "https://bad_username:bad_password@example.com". I believe this causes the browser to forget the original (valid) credentials and attempt authentication with the invalid credentials. This will fail, and produce a new login prompt. Then you have to close the prompt, and close the subsequent "401" page.

So yeah, it is awkward.
Wow, thanks for your comment! I can't believe I've never heard of this visa before. I've been researching different investor and freelancer visas for the last few years. I've never seen a 5 year visa with almost no restrictions, and where you can bring your family. That's really awesome!

The problem isn't that Tesla isn't being reasonable, the problem is that the public doesn't have the attention span to try to understand a more nuanced picture. People just don't want to hear that they're still driving the car, they want to deal with cars that drive themselves, whether to say it's a great thing or to say it's a scourge.

There's really only so far Tesla can go in its attempts to educate the public. In fact, they've been strenuously stating, over and over again, that these aren't self-driving cars. Autopilot as a name for the technology is in line with how it's used and expected to perform in commercial airplanes. You still have to know how to fly the plane and you still need to stay vigilant.
Why at all? I would expect, long term, the ideal solution for a “run in browser” solution would be WebAssembly, possibly with JavaScript glue to the DOM. If so, they probably can keep large paths of their existing code base.

Also, I expect the existing code base isn’t small, so a rewrite won’t be ready soon.

That makes cross-compiling from whatever they have now to WebAssembly or JavaScript seem even better options.

A lot of problems boil down to optimizing a cost function. This function could be the error in recognizing cat pictures or the likelihood of recommending a movie to a user.

What people want is an easy way to express these functions so that a computer can optimize it for them. Tensorflow allows people to do just that, it lets you represent your mathematical equation in a way that can be analyzed and optimized by a computer.

It does it by exposing various mathematical operations that it understands[1]. As long as you can express your mathematical function using these operations then Tensorflow knows how to compute it efficiently and you can use its optimizer to find the optimal inputs.

comes in handy for a lot of problems.

If you feel you would benefit from talking to someone, the type of person you want to seek out is a therapist. Therapists can then help you decide whether you should also be seeing a psychiatrist for medications.

As for narrowing down therapists, take that list of ones that accept your insurance and cull the list of therapists and offices with poor reviews.

I would have a list of a few therapists that meet your criteria (located close, covered by insurance, etc). If you don’t feel like you click with the first therapist you see, visit another one. It’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist, and don’t give up your hunt after one bad appointment or match.

"As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

What was contained in those cermonies that you were not to know? What offense would he do to his people by sharing their wisdom with you? What didn't they want you to know?

The answer is "Probably nothing". But in that vast empty space, there's a few corners where someone is hiding something, and those corners are really terrible. Look at cults like Children of God [1] - These cults are still really common.

I'm certain you would have reported if you'd heard anything dangerous on those tapes. I'm certain that your friends motive for keeping them private were not threatening and entirely pure. Societal standards - Like rituals and ceremonies - Aren't private, though, and should never be subject to secrecy. They should be held up and celebrated. And if they shouldn't be held up and celebrated, they should probably be left in the past, and remembered as mistakes.

Bistro Streams [1] is similar to Kafka Streams in how it is supposed to be used - it is implemented as a library which can be part of an application (including IoT analytics) or run at the edge, for example, on gateways or devices. However, Bistro Streams is based on different principles and has the following major distinguishing features:

o [Column-oriented logical model] Bistro Streams describes its data processing logic using mainly column operations as opposed to set operations [2]. It is a unique feature of this system: no joins, no group-by, no map-reduce.

o [Column-oriented physical model] Data within the system is represented in columns (in-memory). It is apparently not new and widely used in column stores but it is new for stream processing. In the case of long histories (which is needed for complex analysis) and complex analytic workflows it can provide higher performance. It is also important for running on edge devices with limited resources.

o [Separate injection, processing, retention] Bistro Streams separates the logic of (1) triggering the processes for appending, evaluating, and deleting data from the logic of (2) what to do during evaluation (data processing itself). In particular, the frequency and conditions for starting evaluations are specified using a separate API. The same for retention policy where deletion time is determined not by the windows used during its processing (say, for moving average) but separately.

I am the author of Bistro Streams [1] and the underlying Bistro Engine [2]. I will be glad to answer questions and any feedback is welcome. In particular, what are possible application areas for this system.

Whenever some kind of good has a truly limited supply, that can fuel the most massive of bubbles by making the “bubble” look rational at first. The bubble hides itself under the guise of being about “supply and demand”.

The one thing that leaps to mind is the Japanese real estate speculation in the 1980’s. Everyone claimed, very logically, that Japan is a mountainous island with very limited space, so real estate would be almost sure to go up in value. Ultimately, the market crashed, and hasn’t recovered even 25 years later.

Curiously, at the height of the housing crisis homes were about 5.5 times the median national income. In San Francisco right now (another place where supply looks limited by the water) homes there are 17.2 times the median national income.

Yes, the closest thing the US has to council tax is property tax. However, the MAJOR difference is that in the US, the owner of the property pays the tax. In the UK, the resident of the property (i.e. the tenant) pays the tax. My problem with it is more philosophical than anything, as it seems like a regressive tax that only inhibits rate of home ownership (something UK politicians ostensibly want to increase).
