Man, do you need help? That sounds like extremely lowered willpower. Are you happy with playing or is it an addiction?

At the International Conference on Men’s Issues (just finished yesterday!) we discussed lengthily with a few psychologists about male isolation and addictions, and how it sometimes was a strategy to cope with a world that denigrates men. Maybe I’m going a bit fast here, but I’d prefer that you study the reasons of you being there and eventually end uo being useful to the world. If not because you’re a fellow human being that deserves dignity, at least because more income means you’ll pay more taxes to my government :D

No, seriously, your skills and ability to navigate through gamers’ worlds and diagnose other players’ issues would be a net benefit to Humanity.
If the version number is less than 3.1, odds are very good they don’t.

And I just described 80% of the node module ecosystem...
Hypothetically, if you needed python couldn't you either compile it to binary or just install the runtime ? I don't see how a language would be coupled to the version of Linux.
First off, the official narrative is that he passed them off to reporters.

Secondly, what in the releases in the intercept public releases specifically compels you to want to see more classified info?

I might suggest a military path if you want a strong chance to be in the intelligence community, then you can be privy to sensitive info that is need to know.

If you believe info should be free I respect your right to believe in that and the service members of our military also fight for your right to do so as well, while keeping classified info private.
I read the entire FAQ. It's gold. Every major paper that makes strong claims should be required to write as much explaining. For example, after reading the FAQ, I understand now that most GWAS papers overstate everything about their findings. The FAQ is much more measured and explicates the severe restrictions on interpreting the findings.
Probably because when it comes down to it a lot of diagnoses come down to guesswork based on a variety of things. Taking your urine test as an example, what exactly are you testing for?

Going over the references for a urinalysis let's just take colour and one indicator

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_urine_tests

>Nearly colorless: Excessive fluid intake for conditions; untreated diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, and certain types of nephritis.

Ok so going by just having near colourless urine you could have just drank too much water, you could have diabetes, mellitus or nephritis.

And that's just colour and only one colour. Going over all the different things checked for in just a urinalysis, which is only one kind of urine test, you may start to get the picture.

There are so many different kinds of tests for so many different things and there are so many things the results of tests could indicate it really takes a trained doctor who understands the different combinations of symptoms and indicators to make an accurate diagnosis. Biological organisms are extremely complex. There are so many different parts working together and so much variation on what's considered 'normal'. I just don't think that's something that can be trusted to AI or automated systems quite yet. We just don't have the understanding as to what everything really does to be able to.
This dovetails nicely with a new study from Canada, which found 25% cars produce 90% pollution.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150421105344.h...

"The study made on-the-spot measurements of 100,000 vehicles as they drove past air-sampling probes of the main laboratory on College Street, one of Toronto's many major roadways."

Also interesting was their findings of how pollution from roads permeates the surround areas, and the complex ways pollution from multiple roads produces additive exposure.
Pre OBDII now qualifies as antiques, which I think are emission exempt in most states.

Post OBDII, codes not recently cleared is also reported by OBDII. It is just software, and the software can pretend what the programmer wants.

And yet we are growing closer together every day because of the internet. Technologies like Skype, Hangouts, and FaceTime enable human interaction like never before.

I don't find looking at a person on a screen makes me feel "close" to them anymore than watching a person on a television show.

The people I feel "close" to are people I see in real life. But maybe I have a different definition of "close" than other people.
No, it determined genes for educational attainment (assiduousness+intelligence). Genes for intelligence only come in other papers.
Yup, same here. Although this is definitely something you can do in your free time. I find too, that there is a cap to the number of hours or minutes you can spend working on a language per day. Kind of like working out a muscle. Of course, actually being in the country you will go past this limit out of necessity and still thrive.
We do on RAID cards. It has limits.

I'm aware of the well-timed indictment, despite the fact that the public's mind was made up well before then. An indictment is not a conviction, and its evidence comes from sources (intelligence agencies) that have been proven numerously to lie, fabricate, and falsify evidence for political ends. For context, Mueller was FBI director under Bush and during the Iraq war. Pretend that someone other than Trump won, and now tell me honestly -- do you trust US intelligence agencies and do you find the indictment's technical evidence compelling?

(edit)
To bring the point of this post back to my earlier one -- where is the evidence that Assange "sided with Putin"? Siding with someone implies collusion, and mutual interest is not collusion. It implies Assange knew the source was a Russian state actor prior to publishing (whether it was is still speculation).

I apologise if this post seems long-winded and antagonistic, but I feel this is an important distinction that has been glossed over. I see Russiaphobia seeping into close friends who I consider to be rational and it worries me.

The University of Cambridge disagrees with you. You arrive with a Bachelor’s or a Master’s, start immediately on research and should be done in three or four years.

The point is that one time passwords are only valid once. If your password is stolen, it's stolen. If a TOTP code is stolen, it's probably not even useful because it's already invalid when they log in (including for time based, in well-designed software.)

There's obviously a class of attack that hardware tokens protect against (malware) that password managers can't entirely (unless your operating system has good sandboxing, like Chrome OS for example.) But it really does protect against phishing to a degree, as well as certain attacks (key loggers or malicious code running on a login page on the browser)

Hardware tokens are the winning approach, but even when you put TOTP into a password manager it is far from useless.
I think your grandfather and I are kindred spirits.

Can you think of any practitioner or other serious critic of the US justice system who thinks the fundamental problem is plea deals? They always seem to be trotted out in these discussions as somehow obviously bad and unfair on the level of, say, abusive civil forfeiture. But the objection you are describing is the difference between a possible, usually highly unlikely maximum sentence and a sentence arrived at in a plea deal. Only one of those is a real thing, though.
Contracts are social constructs too.
You do a twin study comparing monozgyotic to dizygotic twin pairs. The variance of the trait between the two pairs is the genetic effect. Determining environment effect is done by doing twin-reared-apart studies (to separate shared vs non-shared environment).

Students from Munich build Hyperloop test pod that sets speed record
I was teaching HS math at a NYC public high school. A great job in many ways, miss it except for the low pay. Did that for 5 years before quitting to travel/cycle.

Was sitting at my parents' place (unemployed) after the traveling and read a NYT article about baristas becoming developers after a boot camp, so figured I could teach myself...

Fast forward to now, I'm 32, a developer...it's ok, I'm proud of the career change and what not but I do find staring at a glowing rectangle 8+ hours/day to be existentially vapip.

Advice:
- broaden perspectives (by traveling, interacting with people outside your social/economic class)
- exercise and/or commute by bicycle
- be kind to people; you never know what someone might be going through
- read novels
- cook most of your meals

I don't think I'd change much tbh...I'm grateful to be able to day that, but it doesn't mean I've got it figured out!

> Of those listed, only the air-conditioner is a significant battery drain.

On almost all cars the aircon compressor is driven by the engine, not an electric motor, so the motor needs to be running to cool the air.

The fan that blows the air through the vents is electric, but the air coming out will only be ambient temperature if the motor isn't running.

DSLA Token Sale – Weekly Update (July 16th-July 22nd)
Who is unleashing this on kids without limits? It’s quite easy to limit screen time. (Not talking about any parental controls stuff, just “turn that off.”)
Because the power consumption to keep DRAM refreshed is fairly high so you'd need a pretty big battery, and because it would still be more expensive than 3DXP. It's just not practical for most use cases.
Not really. The two main reasons LLVM and gcc do a better optimization job is they have a better function inliner and loop unroller. Neither are particularly computation intensive.

DMD does all the usual data flow analysis optimizations - strength reduction, copy propagation, loop unrolling, dead store elimination, live range analysis, etc.

https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/master/dm/src/d...

The optimizer / code generator is the same one that Digital Mars C++ uses, which was developed in the 1980's (!). Up until 2000 or so, the code generated was about the same as gcc, though DMC++ ran several times faster.

Since 2000, all my attention has been on the D front end, and so the optimizer wasn't getting the devoted attention it had earlier.

Just recently I finished converting the DMD optimizer from C to D, and am doing the code generator. This should make the code much more tractable.

That is how storage worked on PDAs back in the day with volitile memory. Let's the batteries completely die or change them incorrectly and you lost your data. Let's not go back to those days!
For air travel, yes.

Large ships are large, and, unlike aircraft, have sufficient room and carrying capacity to install reasonably efficient carbon-capturing devices.

It will cost a lot, of course.
No problem.

I was a very early employee (first dev hire) and still keep up with a lot of the employees and alumni. Let me know if I can answer any questions :)
Is very hard to implement the ideas. It’s certainly doable, but mostly cost issues create an economic barrier. In some cases, it might not be scientifically feasible. Don’t let that deter you though!

Title is misleading. Nvidia have created a network which can slow down (i.e. interpolate) videos by a factor of four.

Actual link: https://news.developer.nvidia.com/transforming-standard-vide...

Most importantly, the footage shot in the video was at 2500 fps native [1] - at 300k FPS you have to use a significantly reduced image size. FPS is bottlenecked by the time it takes to read out the sensor, which is linear in the number of rows in the image. So if you read out half the sensor, you can double your frame rate. You can exploit this to get thousands of frames per second on a cheap machine vision camera.

The camera framerate is largely irrelevant. While you can slow down footage by four times (neat), that doesn't mean you can get 300k fps footage out of a compact camera. The great benefit of this technique is really that you can convincingly fake super-slow motion without having to sacrifice sensor resolution. I can easily see this as a cool iOS or Android feature.

Maybe if they'd actually used footage that was at the limit of camera technology this would be more impressive (I don't see a technical reason why not?). Why not combine it with super resolution too? Interesting security implications, as cameras with frame rates higher than (I believe) 1M fps are ITAR controlled.

If no regulation can succeed, the market will turn either to a lemon market and die, or information will be provided to investors in "another way" (which we may not even guess yet)

I'm not sure which will happen. Like you, I firmly believe anyone should be free to invest as they want, as long as no one is tricked. I just do not see the tricking as a stable equilibrium.

I do not assume only crypto will be viable - just that it would be the best option.

Given Gresham's law, it would make sense for investors to only want to pay in USD (to be protected) and for entrepreneurs to only want to accept crypto (to be free / high risk /etc). But USD and investment are regulated, while entrepreneurship is free, so I would bet on crypto winning.

In the middle, I see a small opportunity for existing VC to turn into middlemen for those who have USD and are accredited investors.

It is all still very uncertain. We sure live in intersting times!
I've seen some exaggerated titles but this one is something else.

It's definitely good frame interpolation, but not only does the slow-mo already look artificial at a mere 4 or 8 times slower than the original it also does nothing to reduce motion blur, which makes it incapable of replacing a high speed camera in any meaningful way.

I guess they may have meant that it can also improve images that come out of a 300k FPS camera, but that's a somewhat meaningless statement. If anything more FPS makes things easier to interpolate.
A point where all the constituent examples are false is probably wrong. The only example thus far is one iPhone that caught fire. We have more than one car that caught fire and no ban on third party repairs for cars.
The article is from 3 years ago.

It might be useful to know that since then, Honeybook raised a series C ($14M, compared to a $22M B round) in June 2016 [0].

I see this as not necessarily a good sign of the health of the company (no rounds for 2 years, and a smaller C round), but that's only a superficial opinion of course.

This is not to discredit NFX's article or thesis, but just an FYI on the specific company mentioned in the article.

I started by changing my writing drastically - I wrote in smallcaps for a while, until I “forgot” my handwriting, then started over.
The intuitive concept of justice that the average person has involves a couple things.

- You need to be proven guilty even if you are, in fact, guilty.

- You should be punished for your crimes, not for "how you handle your guiltiness", not for going to trial, not for other things but for your crimes.

Certainly, most people going into the criminal justice system are guilty, there's little doubt about the circumstances and Perry Mason-style trials seldom if ever occur. But so what. That doesn't change the points above imo.

The most horrendous thing is that even when you are talking about guilty people, those who just knuckle under to the system can wind-up with minimal punishment and those who resist get punished more for this than for their crimes. Tell me again why this is just and reasonable.

For another big geoengineering project, check out "Atlantropa", an early 20th century German proposal to dam the Strait of Gibraltar and lower the Mediterranean Sea by 100 meters to generate hydroelectricity and create more arable land.

"First, they should construct them in the outlet fjords of Greenland’s largest glaciers, like Jakobshavn. These fjords are often only a mile or two wide, and an underwater dredging project there would resemble successful large-scale civil engineering projects, like the Palm Islands in Dubai. Greenland is also under the shared control of Denmark and the Greenlandic national government, two entities that might decide to undertake the construction project together."

Even if the later stages (building 60-mile-long sills beneath floating ice) seem unlikely to be cost-efficient, this part definitely sounds like it could be feasible; It's especially notable to me amongst climate-related megaprojects in that it does not require any new developments, but rather uses extant, mature technologies. Building the sills would require "only" time and money.

In short: the proposal to build loose walls that prevent warm ocean water from coming close to the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. This will slow down their melting enough so they won't produce the enormous icebergs at a fast rate any more.

A lot of people are commenting that SemVer doesn't work, because it's still at the mercy of humans choosing good version numbers.
