I've decided that any game zachtronics puts out is a day 1 purchase for me. Only game I've pre-ordered in years.
Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker had a heated and air conditioned dog house in 1980's, paid for by their followers' generous donations to the "PTL Club". (PTL = "Pass The Loot", not "Praise The Lord"!)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1987/05/22/t...

>At the same time, the Bakkers were reveling in an extravagant, go-go life style more akin to "Dynasty" than Christian ministry. Tammy wore mink. Jim drove luxury cars. They cruised about in one of three black Cadillac limousines, bought a houseboat, a vintage $62,000 Rolls, a Corvette, an $800 Gucci handbag and vacationed in $350-a-night hotel suites in Hawaii. They built a heated and air-conditioned dog house for Tammy's pooches. For a 1981 Christmas bash for PTL executives at a Charlotte restaurant, Cafe Eugene, $9,000 worth of truffles was flown in from Brussels. All of this was paid for by charitable contributions, say officials with access to the files.

Yes, the same Jim Bakker who recently said "God Personally Told Me He Sent Donald Trump to Delay the End Times":

Yeah I meant economically, I’m working on a pretty cool ML architecture that makes use of Modular Neural Nets with adaptive Topology, but I don’t see a clear commercial application for them yet, so i was wondering how I should go about surviving while working on it. Your advice is excellent, thank you
It was based on a misunderstanding: People need the equivalent of 6 glasses of water a day, but a large chunk of that comes in through food and drink you already have. For most, adding one or two glasses of water a day would put you up at the goal.

That said, I don't recall where the target number came from.
I remember it being big news. YMMV depending on news sources you follow I suppose.

I agree with you. I should have clarified - 4 motors in the arrangement envisioned by Honda (see the link above) is more complex than 2. It doesn't eliminate any of the driveshafts.

I don't think we'll see in-wheel motors any time soon for the reasons you and I mentioned. (Also, in high performance applications (anything but econoboxes) won't you need to strengthen the suspension/chassis in some places even as you get to lighten it in others, since the motor is now torquing the rest of your suspension?)

I also didn’t intend on “shouldn’t melt” to be taken sarcastically. I was trying to show how I would like something changed in the article. Probably a bad use of quotes on my part...
Very cool. A friend put me on to TIS-100 when I was curious to play around with assembly, and it was a very helpful (and fun) introduction.
There are some great notes in there and also things that you will almost certainly not know already.

Beware the SI's broken definition of Hz. You should treat the radian as being correct, as a fundamental dimensionless property of the universe that falls out of pure math like the Taylor series for sin[x], and you should treat the Hz as being a fundamental property of incompetence by committee.

[...]

Either way, if I ever develop a time machine, I'm going to go back and knock both groups' heads together. At a frequency of about 1 Hz. Or better yet, strap them to a wheel and tell them I'm going to spin one group at a frequency of 1 Hz, and the other at 1 radian/s and let them try to figure out which one of those stupid inconsistent definitions means what. Hint: It'll depend on which time period I do it in, I guess, thanks to their useless inconsistent definition changes.

The rest of the diatribe on Hz ends up amusingly spittle flecked with some decent frothing in evidence. I always knew that the kilo was bollocks (lump in a jar) but that barely gets a nod here. I had no idea about the state of some of the other units (like Hz)
> It's really unfortunate that abiding by local laws and regulations is considered unethical.

Ethical and legal are two entirely different concepts. What's really unfortunate is there's a significant number of people who haven't been able to break out of their indoctrination to equate these things and to follow laws without questioning them or assessing the ethics involved.

The overwhelming majority of laws is written by the rich and powerful to represent their interests, which are entirely divorced from ethics. It is the ethical responsibility of every individual to refuse to abide by those laws and act to change them. We can't pretend that your kind of viewpoint is acceptable. We have had too many historical examples of people committing some of the worst atrocities of all time while abiding by the laws of the time and 'just following orders'.

I'm upvoting you so we can keep this terrifying sentiment at the top of the thread for all to see and discuss.

> Do we really need to pay the Kardashians a boatload of money to incentivize them to do whatever it is that they do?

That's a good question. I personally don't think so and don't pay them myself. But enough people in our society clearly do, and as long as they have the freedom to chose where they spend their money they should be able to chose to spend it on the Kardashians right?

The question of whether (or how much of) the money they accumulate should be taxed, I believe is a separate issue. I think we could tax the shit out of them, but I would caution against the notion of taxing them more than others on the basis that they're creating less "value" than other rich people. There are clearly plenty of people who highly value whatever it is they produce, and to tell those people otherwise seems like dangerous territory (at least it seems like non-democratic - i.e. when you have a government telling the people what to value).

> lofty claims of certainty based on computer models that can’t be effectively tested with out-of-sample data

Models can be tested against history.

> argument relying on “consensus” of the scientific “community”

I doesn't rely on consensus, this is just a tool to show the extent of the certainty. Not sure why you feel the need to put consensus or community in quotes.

> unseemly behaviour of said community revealed in “climategate” emails

This is the ultimate exercise in cherry picking, there was one slightly nefarious sounding phrase in thousands of emails and you act like this negates a entire field of science.

> rebranding if the language from “global warming” to “climate change”

When exactly do you think this "rebranding" happened?
It’s been my experience that most programmers who have worked on many different projects across many different employers for many years can intuit whether something will be needed with a very high degree of accuracy.

Either John wrote the song or Paul did. Therefore P(Paul wrote it) either one or zero.

That’s not how Bayesian probability works. See

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17743049

By your logic, every proposition is either true or false, and therefore the concept of probability is useless.

Now, can you please explain what it means to calculate that P(Paul wrote it) = 0.018?

That depends on their model, which I’m not necessarily defending.

For people in Python-world, I've tried many units packages and tend to prefer https://pint.readthedocs.io

For the bedroom example someone posted, here's the equivalent in pint:

import pint
# Possibly my least favorite thing about Pint is
# the verbose importing/instantiating dance
u = pint.UnitRegistry()
q = u.quantity()

# there are multiple ways of making <Quantity> objects:
volume = q('10 feet') * q(10, 'feet') * (10 * u.feet)
volume.to('gallons)

# How deep could you fill the room?
(q('2 tons') / (q('10 feet') * q('12 feet') * u.water/u.gravity)).to('feet')

Notes:

- Pint has far fewer material property entries in its database (though one can make arbitrary unit registries --- I'm wondering about an importer for the Frink ones... but https://frinklang.org/frinkdata/units.txt doesn't seem to have a license?)

- That said, I'm not wild about Frink's treatment of material properties: Why is the constant `butter` a density, but `eggwhite` a mass, and `naturalgas` a specific energy?

- Pint works (mostly) nicely with numpy and can (sometimes) drop into existing code, since <Quantity> objects quack like builtin numbers.
Presumably they bought the medallions at current fair market value.

I'd draw a distinction between those who risk their own capital for themselves, and those who risk capital through others (aka investors). It's not an easy distinction to codify, but it seems important.

Society needs people taking risks for themselves. To benefit themselves. And instead of paying after they've hit rock bottom, maybe it would be smarter to do a bit to keep that from happening.

> DeletionPolicy=Retain with named resources

Try to avoid naming resources ("Name" property), so there would be no clashes. Use Ref (same stack) or ImportValue (other stack) to reference created resources. If you want, you may concatenate (Fn:Join "AWS:StackName", "-public-elb").
Cloud way is you replace things, rather than keeping it. It is convenient to know, that if I delete CF stack, everything is cleaned.

Speaking of S3, its better not to include bucket resource in CF until you know what you're doing.

> stuff like RDS databases which you absolutely never ever want to have destroyed

That begs for a separate CF stack, with template creating RDS and related things only, then export endpoint in Outputs.

I evaluated those and left them out on purpose, because it doesn't change the answer. You can sample most sensors extremely fast, but let's say our camera is only 100Hz. 10ms there, 10ms for our processing loop, 0.5ms on each end for the LAN if you insist on it not being included in the 150, 5ms for a not-even-impressive actuator to affect the wheels... Now you're still under 180ms and you're still beating an average human.

Being 'noticable' is a totally different thing. A human can notice single digit millisecond differences in timing. With adding control latency, there are two main problems, and neither one affects a system designed for remote control.

One is that you're not used to it, and you have to undo a lifetime of learning to adjust. This goes the other way too, it would be very disorienting to magically make someone's body react 100ms sooner to every attempt at movement.

The other big problem is that your movements and button presses no longer line up with the audiovisual feedback. It's really disorienting, and is going to make you miss a lot of shots in that FPS. If you could detach your hands and put them at the other end of the link somehow, that problem would be a lot easier. You already understand how to compensate for the latency of your fingers. You'd still have to get used to it, though.
Hmm, I guess it would have worked if a radian was defined as 1/(2pi) instead of 1. On the downside, you'd have to redefine things like `sin` to take multiples of "whole rotations" to make `sin(2pi radians)` (i.e., `sin(1.0)`) do the right thing.

I've personally dealt with this a couple years ago. My wallet was stolen while traveling. All that happened was they searched my bags harder. Lol, "randomly selected for additional screening". Sure, whatever.

Just because someone starts off asking you for an ID doesn't mean that they don't have a process for no ID.
Your figures seem a little off there. Yes, RISC-V is a little asymmetric, with the AUIPC being able to subtract exactly 2 GB from the PC or add 2GB-4KB to it, and then a jalr/lb/sb can subtract an additional 2 KB or add 2KB-1.

But the AArch64 adrp is also asymmetric because the relative reach depends on where in the 4 KB page the original PC is. It's only symmetric if the PC is 4 KB aligned. If you're part way through the page then there is more -ve reach and less +ve reach.

A couple of KB fuzziness in what is basically a 32 bit reach in a 64 bit address space is pretty much completely irrelevant in both cases.
There are different qualities of salt. Some contain additives, sea salt contains plastic particles. I eat plenty of salt, as much as I feel like; but it's all mineral salt without additives.
I haven't seen that, in fact it's been the opposite. I've met more people that want to get out and vote, not because they believe in the system or trust it, but because they hate Trump with a seething passion.

They also believe that Russia literally hacked into voting registers and changed votes too. They are confused with the Russia/DNC hack connection, though, but evidence to the contrary has not convinced them otherwise.
So they think "voting can easily be hacked, but I hate Trump, so I need to make sure that I vote."

“smokers tend to die earlier, meaning that they probably save governments money since they draw less from state pensions.”

The trick for me was learning it's possible to be anger without acting in anger. Works for any emotion really. Basically when I get angry now, I simply say, "hey, I'm angry, and being this way sucks". Then I try to figure out what's making my angry and deal with it.
I left years ago because it was one of the first sites I frequented that insisted on “helping” me with a “mobile” interface that just got in my way, especially on iPad. It was particularly annoying because their desktop design scaled up just fine if they would just let it be used.

Yes, I totally agree with this. But I believe there are actually very few people who are actually creating value who would stop doing what they are doing if they were taxed more. The few that do quit, I'll wager there are people willing to step in and take their place. It's a risk I'm willing to take.
I'm a developer in Bangalore. It was glorious. One thing to understand is that in India regular small time business owners are involved in a lot of tax evasion. They don't report their income fully and thus always have a huge stash of cash lying around. The biggest use for this is to buy real estate. Before demonetisation, if you want to buy a house or apartment it was usual to discuss the cash and registration amount. You would register the deal for ₹5 million and pay an extra 5 million in unaccounted cash.

This meant that people who honestly report their income (usually salaried) are at a huge disadvantage. I don't have 5 million lying around in cash. I'll have to pay everything from my bank account, which will get tracked eventually to the seller I purchase my house from.
Now, all of this bullshit is gone. The housing market is much more reasonable, there is no talk of cash payment. I love it. Even initially, I didn't have to stand in ATM lines, because I always use my cc. Where they don't accept cc, they accept Paytm.
For those wondering how this compares to differential privacy, the author of this post has also written a short nontechnical post about that: https://desfontain.es/privacy/differential-privacy-awesomene...

The theoretical guarantees of differential privacy (e.g. resilience to postprocessing or outside data, which removes the need for most threat modeling) make it the one to beat from a privacy standpoint, IMO.

Maybe you mean "that much higher" there?

Also, just FYI, in 1923 "[s]ome 30 percent to 40 percent of the government’s income came from the tax on alcohol."[0] So Prohibition was funded by the federal income tax. But now we have both :(

That's certainly part of it, but I also think part of it is due to the economics of running a restaurant. Margins are getting thinner and thinner as people don't want to pay more for the same food (despite this being how inflation works), so one strategy is to charge more and offer larger portions.

The cost of a larger portion is minimal relative to the higher price (especially in dishes that are made in large batches anyways). So the restaurant is happy to be getting enough to cover all their costs (and hopefully a little extra), and the customer leaves happy despite paying more.

The downsides in the long-term are that (1) as time goes on and currency inflates, portion sizes get larger and (2) people get used to larger portion sizes and the same meal has less value to the customer over time.

I don't have any data to back this up, but I do believe this sort of feedback loop plays a role in obesity.

Not a boot camp, it encourages "self-taught". If you go, you'll be pursuing those more advanced topics at your own pace. But you're sure to meet like-minded folks and learn from them as well.

I learned about RC through Hacker News posts, so its fitting I pass along the recommendation this way.
So what I get out of this is that your system protects your privacy because it uses a custom TTL, and not really because you run a recursive resolver. It helps reduce errors, but you could get almost the same effect with a pure cache.

This is true, however it's an argument for choosing hard goals (because they are hard, e.g. 'we choose to go to the moon...'); it's not an argument for doing things the hard way. For example, given a choice for learning how to build a deck I think I'd pick YouTube over a DIY manual.

I'm in the same boat. I haven't eaten breakfast as a regular thing in about 5 years, I just don't enjoy eating cereal and don't have time to cook up a proper breakfast and eat it. I'll usually have a big lunch, and then a small supper (often something like an avocado and some corn).

People say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I feel no ill effects from skipping it. People just love to repeat things they heard years ago like they're some kind of ground truth. My mum still goes on about how I shouldn't add salt to food and I should avoid fat like it's the devil. And now that I've become a vegetarian, I'm getting the full force of years of marketing from the red meat lobby coming from her.
