There is a difference between sustainable democratic insitutions and brushfire populism. Especially when we are talking about teetering on the edge of genocide.

I'll take the lesser evil of censorship over the greater evil of hundreds of thousands of people dying (or more).
Given its size and operating specs I'd say it's a space drone designed for superiority in the orbital range. It enables the Air Force to attack and defend at very high altitudes against otherwise unreachable targets and threats. Or, at least now, since it doesn't appear to carry or need any weapons systems, it can tow satellites out of orbit (for security reasons, American or foreign) or run very specific rescue missions.
Offsite backup is not an overkill! Your HDDs can be lost in burglary, water or fire. B2 is cheap, go for it, you may regret not having offsite backup one day. And it does not require much effort, tools like Duplicati can automatically encrypt the data and send it to B2.

MyFitnessPal does a not-completely-terrible job of parsing pasted or linked recipes. It's a terrible website overall tho, which hasn't been updated once since I started using it in 2012.
Whatever problems there are, this doesn’t reflect them. As you say, he is the emblem of the field. How do you think he got there? This is someone who has made their career on one surprising result, and is probably quite used to the conference circuit and interviews now. Lots of personal reasons to fight the truth.

Yup, quickest way to eat into your bank account is to "save" money buying a 20k hour+ old excavator.
How do we test human readiness for driving? We give them a driving test, which takes all of 40 minutes. This is possible only because we know a lot about what it means to be a human. To test self-driving technology we need to understand a lot about the AI that is behind it, which is an active area of research with much progress. Moreover, there is adversarial testing in simulation and on raw sensor data, which can tell you a lot about your system before any large scale real world testing begins, including when it might be safe to start real-world testing. Real-world testing at such large scales is neither a practical nor a necessary component to validating self-driving systems.
If Amazon unfairly kills brands, aren't they getting rid of competition which would then allow them to raise prices, in the end hurting the consumer?
Not necessarily. In an ideal world psychology could be scientific.

In this world, however, we observe that the Behaviorists, who were uniquely concerned with holding psychology to strict scientific standards, where ganged up upon and hounded out of the field. The hounders can't be trusted.

Of course the size of the other party's portfolio shouldn't matter if you're only interested in defensive use.
You sound like you're sarcastic, but I know the road system in northern Norway was made with the explicit intention that it should be slow for an army to drive westwards. If you made a private east-west road during the cold war, you'd probably get some unpleasant encounters with officials. Of course, all development at this scale has to be sanctioned by the state, but in this particular case you'd be much more likely to have a Bad Time.

There’s something deeply poetic to this that DARPA didn’t understand the wisdom in what the “reinvent the wheel” phrase means. This seems to embody every bit of its meaning. Replace rubber tires which are brain dead simple and work very well with zero maintenance with this complicated monstrosity that I have many doubts about even being an improvement.
Does this approach work for all software? I’m trying to think of whether I’d trust an autonomous vehicle if the authors followed this practice.

There are methods to testing out designs that point us away from the diagrams and bikesheds. I’m drawing on my own experiences with various levels of formal methods of software construction.

Not looked into the technology, but wouldn't it need to put a ridiculously strong laser to have any effect on garbage at all? Solar sails have to have a really large surface area and a really low mass in order to get even a tiny amount of acceleration from photons, I don't see how we would be able to focus enough momentum onto tiny pieces of garbage in order to cause their orbit to decay.
I feel like, having been really introduced in the WW1 tank, that tracks were mostly about keeping motive force over a much longer distance, which is almost but not quite surface area/traction.

This still fails for that purpose though.

That actually depends, often patents can be fast tracked (for a few grand). This means they will be reviewed and accepted within months not years.
Still if that 3-4ft^2 is in the air it's useless. This doesn't stop high centering or driving into a ditch.
The first bad version need not be production-facing or operating in a situation with the same costs or risks. In fact, ideally it isn’t, and the feedback of the bad versions that get iterated is what actually ends up saving you from releasing a production beta version or something that injures somebody because you thought you spec’d everything in the architectural documents and the test plan, but of course you didn’t.

I’m not saying arch planning has no place, only that it’s not a substitute for iterating on prototypes, and arguing about arch plans is often a waste of time.
You can get a studio apartment for $700, no problem. You can get a cookie cutter 4 bedroom house in the suburbs in the $200's.

You'll need a car, of course, and as long as you're not eating at trendy places downtown, everything else is pretty cheap. Bars have $1 beers and burgers at happy hour.
The parent mentioned "hanging out and talking" (i.e. network effects) in addition to "try new things" (tinker).

I have semi-automated cooking for the week ahead.

We recently started cooking meals for the week ahead on Sundays and then freezing them. The aim was to give us more time with the kids and to cut down on housework.

To save time on the Sunday cooking session I have cobbled together a very clunky, and I mean VERY clunky semi-automated cooking system. It comprises a Raspberry PI which controls a couple of WiFi mains switches attached to the induction hob and the slow cooker. A wooden spoon attached to a 360 degree servo motor hangs above the pot on the hob and can be activated by the Pi for stirring. Initially I tried to use one of those cheap three-legged novelty vibrating pot stirrers, but that didn't work out. Thermocouples feed back to the Pi to help control cooking.

The whole thing is controlled by a messy Python script and 'recipes' are JSON based text files. They just define how long each device should stay on, a max temp to turn them off and how often they should be stirred. I get an email when cooking is done.

I plan to add some functionality over the summer to tip in ingredients as needed. The biggest issue is that it doesn't handle chunky food, it works for soups, chili sauce, pasta sauce etc. I'd love to figure out a way to fry and separate mince as you would with a spatula..
Speaking of Ubisoft, is it just me or do they repackage the same game with different skins over and over gain? I swear Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Ghost Recon and Watch Dogs are the same game with different skins.
I think they’re quite sensitive to how the brand is perceived in terms of merchandising.
Depends on the size of the garbage? Even paint chips with sufficient relative velocity are a danger to the ISS. The laser would have as much time as it needs to de-orbit something and a limitless power source.

> The fact that another option even still exists hurts the overall branding

That's probably true. Unfortunately, that larger mAh number is always going to tempt people. Some heavy users do go for the higher capacity with a full understanding of the disadvantages, but that's not the majority of the market.

> Then we've reached parity, assuming identical size and at least close-enough weight.

Eneloops came out in 2005. Their capacity hasn't changed, though the service life of later versions is longer and the self-discharge is even lower. The 1000 charge cycles and 75% charge after a year of the original was entirely acceptable for consumer applications. I don't see a size difference between a 4th-generation Eneloop AAA and a random Duracell alkaline, but I don't have calipers to measure precisely. NiMH batteries are heavier than alkalines, but I suspect this is insignificant in most consumer applications. Disposable lithium batteries that can substitute 1:1 for alkalines are lighter than either, with higher capacity.
Very sturdy. That hasn't been a problem.
Sorry, a formula and an algorithm are not at all different.

A mathematical formula is just a symbolic expression of an abstract concept, with the procedure (algorithm) how to use it being implicit (= obvious to the person skilled in the art).

A computer algorithm can be trivially converted into purely mathematical/logic representation ("formulas" if you want), e.g. using things like lambda calculus. And vice-versa - an abstract mathematical problem formulation can be converted into an algorithm (assuming the solution is known).

If you start patenting algorithms, you are patenting math.
This is one of the (many) things Philip Lubin has looked at. The momentum transfer from photons is far too low. However this can be partially fixed. A laser can vaporize part of the trash and then heat up some of the vaporized material, effectively turning the ablated material into a small rocket. I am not entirely sure how much more effective this is, and if it is enough to be a viable technology.

You're joking, right? Ever hear of a guy named Snowden? The idea of full, 100% control over anything is a fantasy.
It is not just you. It reminds me of Taco Bell. They’re only working with a dozen or so ingredients, sometimes fried, sometimes grilled, in various combinations. After a while though, you start to realize it’s just a “new” arrangement of the same “meat” and it gets ooooold.

Me too, I think it will be due to a toxic brew of stupidity, hubris, and incompetence, rather than just being dumb.
I love automating things!

- Automatic cat food dispenser

- Smarthome with HomeKit for lights, fans and stuff. Using motion sensors and time based automations a lot

- Browser extension to automatically add Japanese words I look up to my Anki deck

- scripts to automatically ocr documents in my Dropbox, run it through classification for automatic renaming and information extraction, then add it to DEVONthink for archiving. Then using a document scanner app to throw things into Dropbox

- ifttt / zapier actions to add pull request reviews to my todo list, automatically translate Japanese messages to English with slack reactions, backup posts/pictures I am tagged in on Facebook, and and and

- AppleScripts to generate random usernames, one time emails (with date and website encoded) and logging generations in DEVONthink

- mini bots to normalize pull
Request titles / descriptions, link them to JIRA tickets, assign them to the PR opener, transition to “in progress”

- sieve Filters to automatically bounce expired emails, organize based on website, automatically redirect tracking emails to Deliveries, add flight emails
to flight tracking apps

- cli tools to clock me in, clock me out and warn me if I’m under my agreed hours at work

- a lot of workflow workflows on my phone to do things like: navigate me home, find a Starbucks, and heaps of other smaller things

...and probably many more. In general, if I have to do something manually more than 3-4 times and I notice a pattern, I try to automate it
Reminds me very much of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-star_(wheel_arrangement) which was used in the movie Damnation Alley for their Landmaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmaster which was quite functional considering it was custom built for the movie. While long,

I'm also from the area - don't forget about Nexteer. The IT market is pretty bland, though. There's a handful of MSP's you can work at to build some experience, CRUD programming at accounting consulting firms, or be a one/two man IT shop at any of the smaller companies with 50+ people.
Pretty sure you have conflated the abilities of the half dozen frontend frameworks you added (for simplicity) with the the backend you replaced. ".Net" (not actually a specific backend) and an rdbms are not in any significant way a friction against a REST api.

Mean while the only noticable difference between the sites is the front end.
It's a Semi-Thue system[0], a particular form of term rewriting system that is almost 30 years older than tag systems; introduced over a hundred years ago to formalise word problems in finitely presented semigroups (that's where the semi-part of the name comes from).

More importantly, there's a stage hazard toggle. (And also importantly, this time around the Omega stages are all functionally identical, as are the Battlefield stages.)
While this is true, it is complicated by TLS terminating cloud services and the complexity nightmare that is TLS. For example, sub-domain takeover. Basically, TLS rules don't behave exactly as CORS:
https://labs.detectify.com/2016/10/05/the-story-of-ev-ssl-aw...

You could also use the dangling domain to get a Let's Encrypt certificate.

It is quite common for sites to allow cross-origin loading from their own subdomains, with CORS and CSP headers.
You can now create native apps for iOS using JSON and Storyboards only. Native app can be downloaded as a bundle (not executable), and thus can be kinda web page. Isn't it cool?

I've seen that happen, but I've seen people reset their browser caches because of misconfigured aggressive caching much more often.

IMO max-age=0, must-revalidate is a much better choice for the average website/blog owner.

For complex apps, setting up the asset pipeline can be worth the tradeoff. But Hugo is hardly a lower tier static site generator for not supporting this.
I think the idea behind patents was that you can't patent natural phenomena and things that derive from them. Algorithms are just another way of expressing mathematics and logic so that is what gives the rise to the idea that these things shouldn't be patentable. Mathematics and logic describe laws of nature (such as waves in the case of a Fourier transform) which exist without us "inventing" them.

Magsafe connector is an engineering invention that doesn't exist or derive from anything in the nature.
But how long do you block/cache responses for? Many web pages run for days. As evidence: my 300 open tabs.
It's a shame, they used to be good. I really like the idea behind Assassin's Creed. And Sands of Time is a god tier A++ game.

Pretty sure you're being downvoted by making the statement that we're orders of magnitude away, but not providing any data to back up your claim. Even with the number of accidents / injuries / deaths caused by self-driving cars, without actual data, they at least seem to being doing as well as humans - though that's completely anecdotal from my side.
I'll think you'll be pleasantly surprised that the Switch and Labo solved that problem.

The sensors and the IR camera are always in the correct orientation, regardless of player movement. And they solved it with $4 of cardboard. I can't praise enough the simplicity of their approach to the problem.
I don't think the GP meant to ask about the ratio. The slash was probably just shorthand for "and".
You're probably thinking of instapot.

Thermomix is more like a blender with a built-in heating element, so you can throw your veggies in and then it blends and cooks them.

SB 822 No Longer Restores All the Lost Net Neutrality Protections
If you work in a tech company you don't really have a choice. The company will patent your work whatever you think and this is part of the job. Giving them ideas to patent that you haven't implemented and are unrelated of your actual work is the only optional part.
How did you manage to do that? Is there a book or an article that you recommend reading?
buying a condo seems to be cheaper than renting the same amount of space (per-month, anyway).
Caching something forever just doesn't impress me at all, it did when I first heard about the rails pipeline, but what matters to me more is that it's cached through a proxy or CDN, and that eTags prevent large files containing the exact same bytes from being sent repeatedly to the same client.
> it says a lot about a society when isolated instances of trolling can lead to real people being killed

In Bremen (Germany), maybe a week ago, a TV station aired a spot where they accused a man of being a pedophile. Even though they didn't disclose the location, the house where the man lived was identifiable for locals, and up to ten people went to the house, grabbed the man and nearly beat him to death. Later it came out that a) the man the mob identified and beat up wasn't the man from the TV spot and b) even the "real" suspect hadn't done anything illegal [0].

All societies are vulnerable to this kind of shit.

There's nothing wrong with making money within legal and ethical bounds. Getting as close as possible to the former, or bulldozing over the latter with no concern, will certainly draw public ire. That can lead to market changes, as well as the possibility of legal changes.
What future work can we see here? Is this sort of approach really pushing the state of the art or is it just an attempt squeeze another few percent out of brotli at the expense of more CPU.

My understanding is the main novel idea here is splitting compression into independent subproblems. Is there potential for this idea to become the basis for all new modern (lossless) codecs (e.g. redesigns of FLAC or PNG)?
I'm not sure I can answer this, but it might help anyone who could if you know an example of an application that does the nature of tracking you are concerned with?

I should mention, that demanding tracking may well be okay in GDPR, in necessary contexts: for instance a banking service may have to do some natures of fraud prevention using tracking, perhaps of recent internet facing IP addresses used and may have a regulatory need to do something like this.

Also bear in mind that GDPR isn't the only law here. If you want to access data stored on a user's terminal (mobile device, laptop, etc), then you likely need consent too under ePrivacy: for example "Article 5" https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX...
Maybe, but in the software sphere you have the situation where the most obvious solution to a host of problems have been patented by various companies and it's not feasible to do a patent search on every algorithm you implement. Especially since many of the patents are quite broad and cover entire fields of technology.

This is also why patent trolls are such a nuisance, since defensive patents don't work on entities that don't produce anything.
That's cool, so I'm drunk and on my phone, but it seems like tag systems are then a sort of subset of thue systems? specifically an only concatenative subset, which makes me feel like some one should definitely add a reference to the tag systems page.
I realized that after I made it.
