Have you been living under a rock? Youtube has been automatically generating subtitles for every video for years already to the point where I don't even use my speakers at work anymore even though my hearing is perfectly fine.

Do you even realize that this is a recording of a talk? If you have a hearing disability and are live at the event you're not going to understand a single word. In reality the situation is completely opposite: this video has massively increased the accessibility of the talk.
We use it because of legacy. Its fragile, un-updatable and virtually un-automatable. Use plugins? They'll break. Use JJB to make things repeatable? Someone has made a change in the GUI. At last count we had something like 70+ jenkins masters (because we couldn't share slaves, because people kept on cocking up the master.)

The rise of circle-CI style yaml interface is wonderful. The build script is there in the repo, for all to see. Yes, there is less logic, but that's a good thing. Build, test, deploy, alert if fail.

Gitlab's runner is also good. (just don't use the Saas version, as the only thing it does well is downtime.)
While we debated that exact thing for a long time, the reality was that we knew customers would want to dig deeper and understand HOW we wouldn't let it happen again. We tried to do that here. We tried not to make it sound too lawyerly, but I'll definitely take your feedback internally.

AWS launches on-premises EC2 instances for reverse hybrid cloud
Correct, this only works if you can reverse the particle's spin without observing it. This is a descriptive example - the real experiment is slightly more complicated - but it was experimentally verified by Alain Aspect in 1982. If you want a more detailed explanation I recommend http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2007/02/22/spooky-action-...
I think 90% is high for a few reasons:

1) Rate limiting of login attempts takes a bite out of the large numbers you're talking about. If we are only looking at retail companies without rate limiting, well, duh, I guess >90% makes sense, but I expect a large portion of the global e-commerce retail segment _does_ employ rate limiting of logins.

2) The report lists, "Averages derived from customers’ login traffic before Shape Enterprise Defense was deployed on login applications" - so this is absolutely a biased sample. These are clients that signed up for help stopping this problem.

3) It bugs me how ambiguous the report is about how they aggregate to 90%. I worry it's a simple [total fraudulent logins] / [total login attempts] across all their client retailers, which will be heavily biased by the retailers that don't have login limiting, and doesn't really describe the situation. A much better number I'd like is the median percentage of fraudulent logins attempts across retailers.

An "app" on Android is not a traditional executable. It's really a library and a collection of OS hooks that execute code from that library on various events.

The home screen icon is one of those hooks but by far not the only one. If I hide it or never press it, that implies exactly nothing about whether or not code from the app gets executed while I use the phone.

YMMV but my vivosmart 3 is useless at sleep tracking. I read in bed, and my heart rate goes down while i'm doing this and the thing invariably thinks i'm sleeping, messing up the stats.
There's no time to cry / Happy, happy!
>Are you maybe confusing launch failures with landing failures?

I don't think they're confusing them, but rather they're worried that consumers might confuse them. SpaceX's videos of their landing experiments got a ton of space fans excited about them, but it very well may have created an association of SpaceX with explosions in the average layman's mind. Blue, meanwhile, while it hasn't penetrated the public consciousness yet, deliberately projects an image of conservatism and caution.

(That said, it seems unlikely that someone so uninformed would be a potential customer.)

> > How could you be sure the one shipped from earth was not replicated on earth?

> You can't but that doesn't change much because it's still from earth

How do you know that? You just conceded that there's no way to know if the thing was replicated before being loaded onto the cargo ship. How do you know that it wasn't replicated on the cargo ship shortly before arrival?

> Living in a world like that we would find other ways to ensure that we track the authenticity

No, you wouldn't. That's the whole point. In a world with replication technology, the whole concept of "authenticity" becomes every bit as meaningless for physical objects as it already is for digital ones.

> So value will always be ensured because it's created in the brain not in the object.

This is essentially saying that you will always be able to find suckers. Which may be true, but I would hope that any member of a space-faring species would have a basic understanding of physics, cognitive bias, and logical fallacies.
He doesn't answer the 'why' but there's an implication that the printing shop had orders to produce X number of one time pads and it was half the work to setup the apparatus this way. Basically it was a shortcut that presumably felt entirely reasonable to folks running the printing press. And maybe even technically compliant with their instructions depending on the wording thereof.

What Jupyter (regardless of its kernel: Ansible, Python etc...) does is just adding a GUI interface on top of an existing REPL console you mentioned. For example, you already have a working iPython REPL console, you don't really need the heavy Jupyter system to run scientific Python codes.

If you prefer to use the REPL consoles directly for your own propose then Jupyter will add no value on it. However, Jupyter let you save results for each commands without running them again, and you can add Markdown documentations. This is useful when you want document your codes (with results) and share them with others.

Jupyter is merely a productivity tool like an IDE, not a framework. Jupyter may not be suitable for running production codes anyway.
> pay premium [...] get what you've paid for

That makes no sense. "Premium" strictly means "at a higher cost." You can't possibly get what you have paid for with premium products, because some of your money has been spent purchasing the premium.

Regardless of sour reviews such as this one, most people will continue to buy Apple products because Apple sales have managed to transcend the quality of their products. Apple will continue to push the boundaries of what is acceptable and people will continue to buy their products, defend them and praise them - no different from the past decade.

The fault lies squarely with consumers. Apple is just doing what they are being asked to do: flatter things, bigger numbers, higher prices.

I still want to try this keyboard https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataHand
Exactly. I have no problem debugging or creating a small-ish feature in an open office. When it's a bigger feature that touches a lot of places in the code, or when refactoring, it's a major struggle. If it's a big enough change, it's impossible, and I have to work on it at night at home.

For me, the part of coding that is art simply does not happen in an open office.
But there is still the implication that my disease is the same as yours and that I just need to run out of it. I was extremely active throughout my youth including intensive training for wrestling and less intensive training for two other sports and in no way did exercise diminish my asthma throughout many years. So although I do look forward to becoming more active again, I will need to increase my medication dosage and use a rescue inhaler every day and I will never be symptom free. I am not like you.

Following Hallock's discovery about re-use of key, the unit found several thousand pages of re-use, but no usage more than a second time, that is, a depth of two only could be found. This was discouraging to the cryptanalysts at that time because the conventional wisdom was that re-uses had to be greater than two to be solvable.

Exactly. They actually go one step further than that with the Google Services API's. Things like notifications and location can now go through the proprietary API's instead of the system ones, with special perks. This means that if you don't have Google Services, then even if you get your hands on a third-party APK without using the Play Store (hard enough as it is), things will sometimes just randomly break because API's are missing.

> In Neil DeGrasse Tyson's version of "Cosmos" there is a great illustration where he says that if we visualize the entire history of the universe as being scaled to one calendar year then every human being that has ever lived has essentially existed somewhere within the last 12 seconds of that year.

It's infuriatingly confusing and it's not clear that you will get back 100% of the space. If they are sincere about this, why cannot you simply fucking uninstall the damn application ? No stub, no nothing. Just a normal app like the others, that you can install or not.
Agreed. Given the direction Google has gone with Android (and it sure looks like they're working hard to try to kill it off in favor of something they control completely like Chrome OS/Fuchsia/whatever) it would be great to inject some actual competition into the mobile marketplace. The current Apple/Google duopoly isn't getting it done for me.

> somehow Google has managed to bill Android as "free."

Unfortunately, Google got away with telling a whopper of a lie in that they were building a free and open platform when behind the scenes they were doing anything but. Maybe it was true in the first year or two but hasn't been the case this decade (i.e. the ODM agreements prohibiting non-Google flavors of Android which are pretty much the reason it's so difficult to find non-Google flavored devices based on the 'open' Android platform. IIRC, Amazon only managed to get it done by going to the few contract manufacturers who weren't already making any Google authorized devices for anyone else.)
>I really appreciate Blue Origin's methodical approach to building this system. I note that they are closer to being operational than Virgin Galactic who I consider their primary competitor.

It's also worth mentioning that Virgin Galactic has eschewed the Karman Line, preferring the old "50 mile" definition the Air Force uses for astronaut wings. SpaceShipTwo's apogee is expected to be under 100km during this test campaign, though they have said that heavy test equipment sandbags performance.

Introducing Lock and Key: A New Measure to Secure Subscriber Accounts
I don't know how big the unremovable version of google play services is in most roms, but the currently installed version on my phone is 400MB. I'm guessing that means it takes 20% of the storage on a low end 4GB phone. When the recovery images on computers were significant compared to the overall storage, they were more commonly included on separate discs, or a utility was present for the owner to archive the recovery image onto discs locally and then remove it and expand the visible partition.

Since the apps are all going to be updated shortly after unboxing anyway, it would be better for the user to just include a stub downloader for most things. Enough of google play services to update the services to current and offer (but not force) install the rest of the "essential" apps. Plus a small basic browser; Chrome is 177 MB on my phone.
At this point what they're selling is the story of the making of an MMO space opera game, and there are clearly many people that enjoy this tale enough to keep paying for installments of it. Indeed, like Lord, they are actually participating in the drama, so it's even interactive.

It would be a lot more straightforward for RSI to have made a mobile pay-to-win game like Clash, etc. that make even more money than Star Citizen has pulled in in a lot less time. I think they meant well in the beginning, but at this point there's pretty much zero need for them to ever ship a finished game.
Yes he did.

He was denied his right to redress because the judge thought the case wasn't worth enough to be worth his time, wrote a very dismissive ruling and then hoped it wouldn't be appealed so his shitty ruling wouldn't be torn apart.

Amazon does not delete your account as far as I know until some extreme has been reached.

You guys need to understand the scale of distrust this issue raises.

If you want to fix it, give up on putting lawyers and spin doctors up front.

Instead, give this disastrous issue the response it deserves and get the CEO and Chairman of google to make s loud, clear and focused apology and say loudly that we do not delete your entire computer systems over account payment issues until defcon 3 is reached.

Why the F would I build my SAAS business on google cloud without that message being yelled repeatedly and loudly and clear from the top level of the company, as much so Google understands it as the market understands it.

And by the way, I pay ALL my cloud accounts on credit card. I note carefully that at google this means I have a higher chance of having my entire computer systems deleted than if I use some other payment mechanism. Your policy here appears to me to be using systems deletion add leverage to get me off credit card payment. All of which says to me that google still just doesn’t get it.

> What kind of writing system allows people to change my words after I've written them?

Any kind of writing system allows this. Translation changes the words, and can change meaning. People can mis-quote. And yes, over time, meanings of words change, as do the cultural contexts from which they came. None of this is unique to emojis.

The truth is that all communication has at least two parties, and there is never a guarantee that the receiver will get the message as intended. Even if you do craft "pixel-perfect" emojis, people still can (and likely will) mis-understand the nuances of your intended message.

If people are paying transaction fees in exchange for some real utility then you'd expect them to pay the same dollar amount for them even if the price went up or down (ignoring second-order effects like increased trading activity).

That's a big "if" though. I'm not sure what portion of transactions are related to trading/speculation vs. something more useful.
There's no agreed upon definition of "Prediction" "the planets" or "the orbits", so its any random number between 1M and 10B years under wildly divergent criteria.

Orbits have a large number of degrees of freedom and the chaos noise amplification effect is different for each, so given 15M of noise in starting conditions the point along the orbit of the earth is completely unconstrained in about 100M years, but the diameter of the orbit is very tightly constrained in comparison. In 100M years it'll be pretty easy to draw an ellipse and completely impossible to predict where along that ellipse the earth will be, but it'll be somewhere along that ellipse.

There's no analogy in physics, but there is an analogy in numerical simulation, that its like predicting electron orbits. I can do organic chemistry and build lasers all day without knowing where any specific electron is located, does that mean prediction of electron orbits is impossible or that its irrelevant to most practical issues? The specific mechanism for electron orbits is a quantum mechanical limitation whereas the orbit problem is statistical undersampling of noisy data.

Given the services of a measurement calibration lab and sufficient budget I can predict very accurately what comes out of a screw making factory tomorrow given today's sample data without continuously supervising the factory overnight, but I can't calibrate the screw making factory today, let it run 100M years, and usefully statistically predict what the factory will try to ship on one given day 100M years from now.

I don't think the aim is for New Shepard to be a sustainable business, you only need maybe a dozen or two launches to gain experience and knowledge to pump back into the New Glen project. If they can have a tourist soak up $200k of the cost, then that's great because the astronaut doesn't actually do a whole lot on these trips, save for being a human guinea pig to send vitals back down.

Once New Glen starts launching in 2020, they want to quickly move past human certification, so practicing with New Shepard is less costly in terms of critical-path length and probably financially too-- bigger rocket, bigger spend per test.
