For profit is fine, although their APCs are much higher for OA. The trouble is that even if you do pay the APC, journals routinely screw around by delaying or "erroring" the open version to try and extort suckers. (And they wonder why we now submit our proofs directly to sci-hub...) You pays your money and... (Ask me how I know this)

It doesn't take that long to count citations, which defuses the usual excuse for using impact factor as a metric. (And some really shitty journals have surprisingly high impact factors -- they just don't publish much of anything in a given year, e.g. Science Immunology has exactly one primary research article in its entire August 2018 issue!)

Ultimately, it's funders who decide what "counts", because indirects from grants (money money money) is the only real currency. You can publish once every five years in the Journal of Irreproducible Results, but if you have a $20M P01 for those five years, you're getting promoted anyways. So when Chan-Zuckerberg or the Gates foundation says "OA or nothing", then it matters. Universities will keep licking their balls until the purse strings tighten, but once that happens, hoo-eee! It's amazing how quick them OA pubs count for promotion. (Secret: it was never the publications.)
The California missions are spaced approximately 30 miles apart, which was considered a days journey with the intention one could travel from mission to mission. This was, of course, with horses and wagons, etc... So about 10-15 miles a day back then is a reasonable assumption I think.
You're right, they did have to make some compromises. But they also stood firm against some of the more egregious standards that Microsoft were trying to push.

Of course if Mozilla back then were like it is today, they would have been begging for donations so that they could support Microsoft Janus or RealPlayer or whatever garbage they were trying to impose on users back then, all so that their browser could be a second class citizen in the DRM ecosystem. It was really nice while it lasted, to have an organization that stood in opposition and provided an alternative to the commercialization of web technologies.
That's great! As a web app, if you have a Kindle Fire you can do the following:

1. Go to the SETTINGS area
2. Click on DEVICE OPTIONS
3. Triple-tap the SERIAL NUMBER option, towards the bottom of the screen.
4. The DEVELOPER OPTIONS will now be accessible.
5. Find the option labeled STAY AWAKE. Click on it to ENABLE.

The Kindle will now remain on while charging (a "clock" mode). Load the page in Silk - kindle browser and you're set.
well shit...there goes the drone industry. What exactly can anyone do to secure public gatherings from drone attacks? Man...this feels scarier than random shooters to me.
This looks great. For some reason I don't mind using the GUI tools to view history and branches but for commits always use the command line. This should save some time and much typing.
A few years ago, I was assaulted after a fashion. (The event could have caused permanent injury, even though it wasn't actually intended.) A friend of mine was a reporter for a local paper, and she asked if she could do a piece on it. I thought it'd be OK, since she wouldn't want to ruin me.

Funny thing.

She changed my position from "I could have been permanently injured!" to "I want all of those potential weapons removed from the state!"

I do not believe that it is too expensive to Mozilla to support RSS. If you had to quantify the cost in a dollar amount, it would probably be far less than the money that they spend on single one of their promotional events.
Yes, my friends dad had paralytic polio. More than likely vaccine derived as he was born in the 1960s. My grandma's kids all had whooping cough, measles, chicken pox, and probably others. In her own words: "we were fine".
We are talking about the RSS reader. How many extra megabytes do you think it will add to the download?
Not to mention that programming on the GB/C is a joy. It is just C and if you are not using sprites there is not really any need for Assembly even.
The lost ark had much more brutal DRM as far as I remember... rather than just scramble the picture they melt your eyes off.

> For some reason they seem to make a big deal about distances that are a day trip in the US.

The terrain in the UK is much, much more dense than in the US. I live in Wales, UK. My train to the nearest city takes (almost exactly) an hour and 10 minutes to travel less than 24 miles distance because of the local geography, it takes the same via car and bus. To contrast, one of my ex-colleagues traveled daily to the same location from 72 miles away via the car, and it took them only 40 minutes because of the variation in geography.

EDIT: This isn't to mention the extremes in weather that both the position of the entire island, and the local geography creates. We kept away the Romans for a long time simply through our geography, and weather.

For once jam Wireless/GSM. This will prevent remote controlling and will require some sort of self-guidance system (neural net, pre-programmed route).

You can also take any drone down. There are various solutions, from hawks (as in bird) to wire-net launchers and lasers.
Your freedom to not get vaccinated is impinging on my freedom not to die from some totally avoidable pathogen. When freedoms are incompatible someone’s freedom has to be curtailed. I vote for the irrational and dangerous freedom to be curtailed in favor of public health, in the same way that I don’t care about curtailing someone’s freedom to best me to death with a brick because they want to.

“Because freedom” isn’t an argument, isn’t a point being made, it’s nothing.
In co-op games, quarterbacking is where a player dominates the game by telling all the other players what to do, making strategic and tactical choices for them. This means that really only one person is playing a game, making it less fun everyone else.

How Coders, Not Drug Warriors, Are Preventing Opioid Overdoses and Saving Lives
There’s an imagery created by your story of you, standing next to your half million dollar airplane in your aviators and fancy khakis you bought just for this trip, annoyed you can’t get LTE for your next leg’s wx, and putting your hands on your hips and muttering to nobody in particular, wow, these native folk sure have it rough, huh? No Starbucks in Greenland, it turns out.

Please, enlighten me of the point of your story. You ferried across and stopped over in several less advantaged places, then felt compelled to explain to a community of mostly wealthy people that one time, while flying your airplane to Europe (and for some reason while thinking an iPhone has any relevance whatsoever to your situation in an RNAV emergency), you discovered the fabled “worse off” people that you knew existed but had never seen. What would you like me to feel in response to that story? Sad, like you? I am sad, but I’m sad that you’re describing a community in which you stopped over as if you’d discovered a species of three legged unicorn. Had you been in trouble, those sad, poor indigenous cultures likely would have given you everything off their back. Then you swing that brush everywhere: first it was “people up north” (of where? Atherton?) then for some reason instead of deleting that silly grouping, you decided to correct it in a parenthetical and swing right for the natives.

Did you take a bunch of pictures of the communities? When you got back, did you lay awake, troubled, wondering how you could write an app or raise some VC for a nonprofit to help them? When you told this story to your buddies at the FBO, did you include even worse observations that you chose not to type here? The weird irony of your story is you casually refer to “arctic Canada,” of course completely unaware that those First Nations cultures you were prodding and dissecting for a couple hours predate the word “Canada,” all the while lamenting a subtext of “why don’t we help them?” while discarding centuries of colonial attitudes. And then sharing one. What the hell is a “cultural attraction?” You think they’re hunting whale to amuse you?

Congratulations on your... enlightenment?... that there are people out there who can’t afford a SR22, I guess, and thanks for taking the time to call out the specific model so the rest of us pilots know you’re not screwing around. (If you don’t fly, specifying ‘my SR22’ instead of saying ‘my airplane’ or even ‘my Cirrus’ is in the same vein as saying ‘my Lamborghini,’ a phenomenon unique to SR22 owners.) I’m happy you got to experience that and teach a bunch of tech folks that the natives sure are a disadvantaged and lesser species somewhere up north, where the trolls live.

I couldn't see any spheres at all so I was confused by your comment, which led me to realize WebGL wasn't working, which in turn reminded me I had disabled hardware acceleration in Chrome long ago because of some bug which made browsing unbearably slow.

There's the option of putting stuff in ad/ldap - but if you're already using ad, kerberized ssh (and sudo etc) might be the way to go.

I like the idea of a system that's simpler than ad/ldap+kerberos - and ssh certs fits most of the bill.

The challenge becomes auth/authz beyond just login - ldap basically requires ssl ca anyway - and at that point, especially with kerberos set up - I think one might be better off sticking with one complex auth/authz system rather than two...

At least it should be possible to avoid passwords with something like:

Not if you, for instance count 5 cards per second, you will get trough the deck in 20 seconds. Also after the first card is played add a "slow down" buffer for next 5 cards - 1 number per second and then speed up again to 5 per second.

I would also try to stick to my logic and tempo and just let the other players pick up on the logic used.

Could be fun.

More substantive than the one I answered (OP named random small European countries without any idea of what they are), and intended to have people question the nonsense of that association of Andorra and Albania and thus the pretended knowledge of the poster by at least looking what Andorra is.

Obviously nobody knew nor cares, and he could get away with spreading complete bullshit. I didn't think it could be so, I thought at least a few Europeans would be around, because everybody around knows that associating Andorra and Albania is like associating Monaco or Lichtenstein with Sierra Leone. Hence the sarcastic comment.

So, I'll spend 45 minutes writing this since nobody can read Wikipedia for 5 seconds.

Andorra is a principality, a tiny rich country located between France in Spain, uses Euro as currency, and has some traditional weird governance shared by the president of France and a Spanish archbishop. It is a tax haven which lives on tourism (semi-luxury, I'd say, most expensive ski resorts in the Pyrenees, if it did not change), duty free stores, and more or less shady banking. They speak Catalan, but also fluent French and/or Spanish for business reasons (and because they are so few and the country is so small). That is to say they are perfectly integrated with their French and Spanish neighbours.

So, this is a country of significantly less than 100,000 inhabitants (no, no figure is missing) with a rather fixed structure of "who owns what", that ranks in wealth/inhabitant among Australia and Germany. You still think it makes any sense to talk about immigration/emigration from/to Andorra?

On the other hand, Albania is an eastern country, which was already the poorest country of the Eastern block when it was still a thing; its wealth compares with Venezuela and Mongolia; it has more than 40 times as many inhabitants as Andorra and... a 'tradition' of massive emigration. For example, there is zero geographical, cultural, or historical connection between France and Albania, and yet they represent the most numerous asylum seekers in France; despite the fact that they have zero chance to be granted asylum, since their country is safe and they are not threatened by anyone, yet they keep on coming (same in Germany). There is also the Albanian mafia, spread all around the world.

So, now I have lost 45 minutes explaining stuff of public knowledge on a buried thread none will read... Great.
> CS departments have an ethical obligation to ensure access to these opportunities is equitable.

Seems easier to make this sentence false than to attempt all the acrobatics that - according to this article - follow from it being true. So why don't we?
The way people actually play is this:

Let’s say we’re in the second round and all the players have 2 cards. If you have a 1 obviously you’re playing it immediately. Of course everyone knows that so if you have a 5 for example, you’ll wait to see if someone plays something immediately. You notice someone starting to play a card somewhat tentatively. But if they had a card lower than five they’d be more confident about it so you rush to get your card down first, and you’re right, the tentative player had an 11. And on the game goes.

All of which is to say that there is a lot of information in the game beyond the passage of time and it’s about developing a theory of mind of all the people you’re playing with— how would they play if they had a card lower than yours?

Like playing with my wife, I’ve noticed she waits longer per number as the gap gets larger — so she might wait 5 seconds for a 10 gap and then 30 seconds for a gap of 20 cards. So I’ve had to adjust my timing to match. And of course she adjusts to adapt to my adjustment to her. Eventually you get into some kind of agreed upon internal clock without ever actually talking about it and you can drop 20 cards in order without so much as sighing.

> My younger daughter is reading and writing simple words a full year before Kindergarten, thanks to engaging educational apps.

So was I. I was reading books to my parents and grandparents by the time I was three years old. By 8 years old, I had the reading age of an adult, and when my father eventually regained legal access to us (edit: when I was 9 years old), I was correcting his spelling, pronunciation, and grammar.

My entire family thought I was some kind of genius, but it turned out that I have a moderate-to-severe learning disability, and this was an early symptom of it.

I'm not trying to diagnose your daughter, don't even imagine that. However, I am suggesting that there may be other reasons for your daughter's apparent advancement.

Nonsense. Monospaced fonts do not give punctuation weight equal to words. Fonts that give punctuation weight equal to words do. See for example the Input font family:

As much as mandatory processes could suck, the downside of letting people do whatever crazy thing they want is dead kids. Disneyland and other venues and organizations with high-density occupancy (sadly) should require visitors to present valid proof of current vaccinations prior to admittance. Yuppie flus aren’t real, and society shouldn’t pander to snowflake nonsense; the only exemptions should be for legitimate, independently-reviewed medical situations. People can bandy about “democracy” and “freedom,” which they mean anarchy that impacts others with their externalities.
I have to wonder about the point of your comment. The one you replied to is an interesting tale posted in the comments of a very similar story. It seemed to have many points: technology is making the trip easier, it’s well worth making, and there are a lot of seriously poor people living along the route.

Your point, on the other hand, seems to be that the other poster should feel really bad for being wealthy enough to make the trip. Which is a pretty crappy point to make.

This would probably be more work than it is worth, but it would be neat to have an option to take into account time differences between the location in the quoted story and the user's location.

For example, this quote is used for 8:19:

> I had arranged to meet the Occupational Health Officer at 10:30. I took the train from Watford Junction at 8.19 and arrived at London Euston seven minutes late, at 8.49.|The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim|Jonathan Coe

If the location aware option were enabled, it would give that to me at 1:19, not 8:19, because I'm in PDT (UTC-0700).

(Well, 1:19 if London is not also on daylight savings time. If they are, then I'd get it at 0:19. This is one of the reasons it is probably more work than it is worth. You'd not only have to have the location information for the quotes, you'd also have to deal with the rules for daylight savings time in multiple locations. This would be a pain in the ass).
Unity and Unreal both support Android and PBR so I don't see an obvious benefit to being able to use this alternative renderer. Because of the license and the fact that it's a newish codebase written in simple C++ I can see it being popular as a starting point for in-house engines.

Please refrain from baseless accusations. Thank you.
It's not worth it in my opinion. That's why networking is layered. If security is desired,it should be layeres on top not integrated as part of a layer.

TLS for example is layered on top of Layer4(tcp/udp). It's not part of the tcp standard or something.

Wifi or wired,Segment level security should have it's own layer on top of or under Ethernet. Maybe 802.11ae falls under this?
