It may also have much to do with 'who' was asked. As an Engineer, I immediately noticed the missing frame member on the first rendering image at the very top of the web page. But, most people one would meet 'on the street' are not Engineers, and they very likely do not even look at a bike with a 'how does this work' eye. And if one does not even try to 'analyze' the bike mechanism, even a little, one surely will never remember the constituent parts.

I hadn't heard of that before. That's pretty cool.

"Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) is a technology that emits a magnetic signal that mimics the magnetic strip on a traditional payment card. MST sends a magnetic signal from your device to the payment terminal's card reader (to emulate swiping a physical card without having to upgrade the terminal’s software or hardware)"

My gut sense is that proof-of-work as a spam deterrent can _improve_ the signal-to-noise ratio, but won't bring it up to an acceptable level.

Say you have a simple proof-of-work protecting some action (posting a comment, voting up/down a story, etc.), and you have its difficulty tuned to allow a median-productivity human on a typical desktop computer to do that action at their typical rate.

A spambot doesn't need to sleep, take days off, and can get illicit access to much more computing power than any one human.

It _would_ probably shift spamming activities to focus on more central, high-value venues, though. hmm.

> And I read some horror stories about samsung home appliances when I was looking to buy them last year.

I can add to that. From a previous comment: "I actually just replaced a 3 year old Samsung Electric Dryer. The heat was no longer working, and I suspect it was the heating element. To access the heating element required me to: - Take off the control board - Take off the entire top of the dryer - Take out the door - Take out the Front panel - Take out the drum
I only figured this out after finding a service manual, as I did not want to risk destroying a dryer to figure out how to fix it. A new heating element was $80 off the grey market. I wanted to see how much it would be to get it fixed by a service place, and any service place I went to wanted to charge $100 just to look at it!

When I saw a new dryer was $400, I just decided I did not want to deal with it anymore and bought a new dryer.

I will not be buying Samsung products again. "

> Its purpose is providing independent access to space for ESA member nations at a reasonable price

> Ariane's goal is not to win the most commercial contracts or compete with SpaceX on price

Winning commercial contracts is how the price is kept reasonable. As you pointed out fixed costs are very large and launching GTO satellites helps spread them around.

If SpaceX kicks Ariane out of the commercial market then ESA governments will have to pay more for their own launches.
The big ones are the X and Y offsets/moves; you'd expect it the output to be an explicit coordinate to move to/act upon (e.g. a specific value in the -400 to 400 space), but per the original announcement (https://blog.openai.com/openai-five/), there's a 9v9 grid space.

Israel's Proposed ‘Facebook Bill’
Markets don't always work, most notably when heavy regulations make it hard to enter the market at all - like in banking! But it's better than the alternative which is usually nothing.

The BBC is accountable because it's state run, and so there is a lot of infrastructure in place to force change, fine it, take it to court etc

How exactly can the state force change? The government basically leaves it alone on the grounds of 'political neutrality' except for occasionally adjusting the license fee (upwards). It's left to its own devices. As for fining it or taking it to court, that applies to any company, doesn't it? Fining the BBC is useless anyway, it's just a pass-through fine on people who have a television.

Further, just because the BBC is a public broadcaster, doesn't mean people have to watch it, or even pay the license fee

Everyone with a television or radio has to pay the license fee even if they don't watch it. Yes, in very recent times for the first time ever there are significant numbers of people who don't have a TV or radio at all. But that's still a small minority. In effect, no matter how great or useless the BBC is, their income remains the same.

At any rate, the original issue is more like "is the BBC more accountable to conservatives than Apple" and the answer is clearly no. The principle that the government leaves the BBC alone, especially in matters of news, is too well established.
NRZ is easier to do on most devices since you simply put a high on the bus to send a one and a low on the bus to send zero, esp. if you use something like an Attiny. Also means I can basically plug-and-play it into the i2c connections I have setup.

NEXT Biometrics Receives First Orders for Government Certified Fingerprint
WebAssembly will no doubt give us more freedom, but still has a lot of constraints. Also, it's fundamentally a hack built on top of the browser ecosystem, not replacing browsers entirely!
"The main limit is Certificates per Registered Domain, (50 per week). A registered domain is, generally speaking, the part of the domain you purchased from your domain name registrar. For instance, in the name www.example.com, the registered domain is example.com. In new.blog.example.co.uk, the registered domain is example.co.uk. We use the Public Suffix List to calculate the registered domain.

If you have a lot of subdomains, you may want to combine them into a single certificate, up to a limit of 100 Names per Certificate. Combined with the above limit, that means you can issue certificates containing up to 2,000 unique subdomains per week. A certificate with multiple names is often called a SAN certificate, or sometimes a UCC certificate."

> explain what level of moral education and policing is appropriate in a free society.

The problem, as I currently perceive it, is not how society performs moral education or policing on adults, but rather how we teach critical thinking skills to children.

For a related example, there was an excellent article recently where someone visited a “flat earth” convention and interviewed various participants. What he found was that adherents didn’t exactly disbelieve in a globe; they were instead embracing rejection of factual authority. https://www.newyorker.com/science/elements/looking-for-life-...

I don’t see Infowars types as those I “oppose politically.” Their beliefs are not merely “right-wing” — their worldview is simply craziness.

If I’m right that this is a problem of rubber-stamping students through graduation who are unable to think coherently, then "moral policing" is a post-facto treatment, and what’s really necessary is prevention. (These ideas are mostly spread through memes, for crying out loud; the term is literally defined as an infection.)

(I didn't downvote you, incidentally.)

"Don't ask me how I know" often means that the speaker is an insider who must remain anonymous.
My experience moving from a Pixel XL to Samsung S9 has been the exact opposite though. Samsung is a significantly dumber phone that requires way more constant fiddling and care to be a good companion.

Examples:

- Samsung removed timed audio profiles. I no longer can say "silence for 1 hour" when I'm giving a talk. Now I need to babysit my phone and if I forget to put it back on loud, I'll miss calls.

- Samsung removed the automatic power save mode switch. Instead of stretching the last 15% of battery in the evening so I can call a cab... I now have a dead brick.

- Samsung broke handling of notifications in Work profile. They're not longer reliably working on my Wear watch.

- Samsung removed the ability to browse music in the car via AVRCP. Worked fine on Pixel XL.

- There's no way to set your phone to DnD mode while in a meeting automatically. Pixel had it.

And I could go on. Saying that Samsung just adds and improves on Googles' features is misleading. They also break a lot of things.

Israel: an engineer’s view of the startup nation
gout is amazing, isn't it?
Maybe this is a limitation of self-play. If the opponent an AI faces during training is always optimal, then there's no surface area of mistakes. The losing AI, in its model/mind, knows that the game is over after a specific threshold. So it hasn't learned how to optimize for capitalizing on mistakes.

I wonder if this situation can be fixed by adding more randomness. For example, force AI'1 to be in a losing position to AI'2, but then suddenly switch the power level of AI'2 to be much weaker (where mistakes happen) so that AI'1 learns how to fight its way out of tough situations.
This is really easy on the eyes. I am loving the minimalism. Away from the frenzy and noise. This lets you focus on the content. Kudos to the designer.
I think even more terrifying is that most people might need to "shop" banks. I say that because in reality for your standard checking bank fees are non-existent if you have over $1000 in the account even at the worst of banks (some much less).

For savings accounts the value of shopping becomes more apparent. But if you are getting hit by bank fees then savings account APY is really not a primary concern.

Fair enough. At least this one is being fixed!
In my case, we provision a wild card for accounts on our service (*.account.companycustomers.com). While we bundle these together with a few other sign ups, it's sometimes better to get it out the door initially, and then bundle them with more subdomains on renewal. We have received an exemption to the certificate limit per domain to achieve this at least.
Do we really want our tech companies to censor opposing viewpoints?
> The article is, however, disingenuous about branching. Virtually any PPC (dis)assembler worth its salt will use extended mnemonics for the bc instructions the author complains about.

I sort of got that from the article, though: The official PowerPC assembly syntax is confusing, so (dis)assemblers added some extensions to make it more readable/writable. E.g.: "This is ridiculously confusing,² so nobody uses the purely numeric names. People call them r0 through r31. (Some assemblers call them r.0 through r.31.)"

Apparently you haven't been paying attention, declaring off limits APIs started with Android Nougat for NDK developers.

Because Linux APIs were never really intended to be called by NDK developers, only the POSIX subset and Android public native APIs.

Likewise with Java, which is only a subset of proper Java.

In any case, it might relate more to an eventual future support of Java 9 module system, where private really means private, than anything else.
You want https://hypothes.is

You're going to get a lot of dismissal here because the idea is old and has been tried many times. I wouldn't let that stop you, annotation is very useful. The thing I am skeptical of however is that it makes the most sense 'as a forum'. I don't think it makes a very good forum, it does make an excellent collaborative research tool. More sane would be to have these annotations and import them into a real forum tool.
Reminds me of that line from the show Narcos that translates to, "Silver, or lead."

What is a retail bank but some product ledgers and user identities? Banks understand that they are rapidly being reduced to artifacts of regulation. The ones I have spoken to have a primary mandate to "preserve the business model."

The identity information FB has is often more reliable and valuable than the documents governments provide. Perhaps to coin a phrase, what FB and other social platforms have is "collateralized identity," where your relationships and personal behavior data are the collateral on the assertion of identity. The documented one relatively is just a "registered identity."

Difference is the amount of friction, authentication, and recourse you have to each of them. A registered identity is mainly for legal recourse (tax, travel, and law enforcement.) What FB has might lack a bit of recourse, but it has anti-gravity frictionlessness, and a high degree of authentication.

The point at which an institution becomes indifferent to the level of recourse in the identity and switches to one with less friction, more data, and more authentication - looks pretty similar. In fact, the ones who demand registered identity are at a structural disadvantage to orgs who provide services using collatoralized identity.

There is very little to keep FB from becoming a global bank, and current banks will have the option to participate, or compete against the ones who do. It's strategic in so many ways. I don't think this is a normal business arrangement. It may more resemble offering terms on which FB will accept the banks' surrender.
