It can be true and racist at the same time.

If you never care about rapes except when it’s a dark skinned perpetrator in a white dominated country, then you are both racist and correct that that rape amongst refugees is an important issue.
3 things you need to consider when designing AR Communication App
Uh, sure, if you're only talking about home users then of course current and future products are a disaster. That's more a function of the markets than the standard.
Yeah this is the most uncomfortable opinion I see with rust. In general rust doesn't seem terribly well suited to existing toolkits (as most make heavy use of the OO paradigm).

The Gtk+ bindings are pretty good. Of course, this is not surprising, because Gtk+ was doing OO on top of C.

Gtk+ is not the native widget set on macOS or Windows, but neither is Electron nor 'Servotron' ;).
The extreme left aren't involved in mass murder at anything like the extent that the extreme right are.

When looking at HVE groups the far left appears rarely, those lists are full of either militant Islamist or Far Right groups.

The focus on the far right happens because it's the far right that are murdering people.
One neat, low techregenerative braking system used in some places is having the stations built slightly higher than the rest of the network. As the train comes into the station, the slope helps it slow down, and then when it leaves the station, the slope helps it accelerate. Never underestimate the energy stored by moving a fully laden train a few centimetres up.
Only if it's cheaper to build in Chicago suburbs than Nashville suburbs. There isn't a lot of pricing power for consumer Internet with alternatives available so Google fiber can't charge twice as much even if it costs twice as much to build. The majority will just crawl back to the cable company if the price is too high (despite their incomes).

In other words, wealthy people aren't really relevant. Density of middle class and upper middle class is what makes these build-outs successful.

Not to mention it's already a badly specced phone commanding top dollar being made by a small company that could easily go broke in a year.

I'm all for what they are trying to achieve and really hope they succeed, but history is full of privacy phones that have failed spectacularly.

For half the price I could get a flagship Xiaomi, flash LineageOS on it and have a completely degoogled high quality Android phone likely supported for most of the next decade.
Yes, and I mentioned that (and the same article) in my post :). But even if you ignore NYC being more expensive, the more recent estimated per-station prices in Paris and Montreal would come to around US$1.5–3 billion for all of NYC’s stations. If NYC remains around 6x the price in Paris, then that’s around US$9 billion for platform doors in NYC.
Lisk is a sidechain and EOS is centralized.
Dislikes and "not interested" are important.
The fix is not complicated.

They have to play with the control variables producing the feedback loops.

People and content creators are influenced by the view/like/dislike count.
Instant feedback through these counts produces all kinds of unintended consequences.

Instant feedback is overrated and unnecessary. It's like constantly getting a live upvote/downvote from your spouse or boss or prof on everything you do. What kind of behaviour does anyone think this produces? In such real time conditioning environment ppl turn into rats in a B F Skinner experiment.

The Russians or any bad actor don't have to create content anymore.
Just find a lunatic and encourage/prop them up with views and upvotes. YouTube will then take care of distribution triggered by the view and like counts.

Hide or delay the counts to both the creator and viewer and the world changes over night.

The experiment can be run on HN. Hide the upvotes on certain controversial threads and see what kind of conversations happen.
If you want it to be performant, a linked list is better than a slice. Then in your map you store structs that have both the stores value and a pointer to the corresponding node in the linked list. That way random deletions are constant time since they don’t require copying the slice.
My large apartment building, in downtown Palo Alto, has 2 sets of wiring: one exclusively for the phone company, and one exclusively for the cable company.

Not surprisingly, my 2 choices for fast Internet are the phone company and the cable company.

At one point the FCC was going to issue a rule opening these wires up. My building would be wired with a half-dozen competing ISPs about 5 seconds after that rule was issued.
Regarding the heat generated from braking. I was surprised to find out that in our (very small) subway system the stations are higher than the rest of the track. This slows down the train as it is approaching the station and helps it regain speed when it leaves the station. A quite obvious idea, but must admit I might have not thought about it.

In some cities they are building district cooling [1] (comparable to district heating). Might be quite a difficult solution in densely built areas of course.

We may well be forced into geoengineering. Because, by the time enough people/firms/governments are sufficiently motivated, it'll be too late for anything else. Except adapting, I mean. But anyway, CO2 capture is the obviously safest bet. Adding shitloads of iron to the oceans, or injecting shitloads of SOx into the stratosphere, are just a little too likely to have serious downsides. Or putting screens at L1, for that matter.
Okay, well lets ignore CapEx then (~$600 Million). Yeah, lets get rid of it. Pretend that in Q2 2018 Tesla spent ziltch, nada, absolutely nothing, on expanding its factories or buying equipment.

EVEN IF WE IGNORE $600 Million worth of CapEx, Tesla is still $100 million loss. Again, Tesla lost a total of $742 million, and no, investments into equipment or building space does NOT fully explain the loss.
“Read the weather off Google” is weird advice in a thread about companies collecting user data, given that no one does more of that than Google.
You're right, and that's a problem even for companies. Security is a game of weakest links. Your company can spend billions of dollars accomplishing 99.99% vulnerability coverage on their networks, but it will be meaningless if your employees go home and connect their work laptops to a compromised home network.

I don't think there's an easy fix for this and I'm not criticizing WPA3 or anything. Ideally we could just update/throw out old, incompatible devices, but realistically I know that's not going to happen. I'm just pointing out that the suggestion to "keep WPA2 enabled for your old, WPA3-incompatible devices" kinda misses the point about WPA3 in the first place.

Your theory seems good at first blush. However, we all know the US is the only major industrialized country without socialized medicine, correct? So doesn’t that mean that other countries should have succeeded in developing new medicines according to your theory? It appears the vast majority of effective drugs are coming out of the USA. This is a difficult problem.

This always confuses me a bit, why do we consider the first instants of the universe maximally ordered? A near homogeneous sea of per-subatomic particles seems less ordered than the later universe of galaxies and stars and hydrogen atoms with cold areas in between.
Because greatly increasing the suffering of millions of people who flee a warzone just because some of their ranks are criminals, extremists, or terrorists posing as refugees is very unfair to the vast majority of these people. People shouldn't be allowed in without vetting, but refugees need to go or be placed somewhere.
The major IRT lines save for the 7 operate mixed fleets of NTT and R62/A equipment, none of which share door positions IIRC. The Eastern Division still uses old rolling stock like R42s from time to time. The last time they tried getting rid of cars prematurely, the R179 order came in late and they were forced to run what cars remained had more aggressively, degrading reliability.

> You could make the test station one of the L train stations that's going to be closed for two years and install them at a super leisurely pace. (The L is basically completely isolated from the rest of the system, and already requires special rolling stock for CBTC. And it's going to be closed for two years for other repairs.)

This actually was a proposal. It was recently killed in favor of bringing elevators to Union Square, a major subway complex that is not ADA accessible. Which is really why they haven't caught on as a serious engineering proposal; the list of things that would be much better value for money is long, such as systemwide ADA accessibility, CBTC signalling, replacement of rolling stock, refurbishment of dilapidated, water-damaged stations, etc. You could easily come up with $50B worth of upgrades, extensions, etc. before platform doors became a priority. And they're not even that feasible.

> There are just a lot more doors in the station than on each train.

Got a source for this? This is intriguing because I've never heard of something like this. But this also introduces the complexity that the right doors have to open at the right time, lest a blind person walk into a gap between trains and die. Which is a lot to ask from an agency that can barely maintain something as mundane as elevators and escalators.
These may be greatly helpful for those near where they will be built. But this technique does have a cost, it will kill the downstream deltas By stripping off the alluvial soil, and depositing it at the dams, it never reaches it original destination.

There is a reason that much of this planets life comes from delta regions, and robbing them of the minerals and fresh water they need to thrive is costing a lot more than providing people the ability to create farms in areas where they shouldn't.

This isn't terraforming, it's shifting resources to a place that can't sustain themselves naturally, and killing an ecosystem that could without interferences.

It also seems to not mention that natural waterways including rivers, streams, and tributaries shift and move overtime, largely because once a water way fills up with deposits and debris its no longer the path of least resistance.
It may have made the women you've talked to feel better, but personally, I'm not a fan of the idea that I'm simply less biologically capable than men in any way.
I moved here 5 years ago due to other life factors conspiring to bring me here. I had no idea Launceston is a little manufacturing powerhouse. The city is growing and there appears to be a lot of opportunities in the arts, manufacturing, technology, there’s even a bit of software development fling on here. Plus a bit of skiing an hour away. I’ve met a lot of great people here an occasionally get to laser cut art.

Without going in to too much detail, yes there’s a lot of demand for machine time.

I haven’t really looked at smaller machines, ours was in the vicinity of 1MM.

I would have thought a lower power laser diode module, and associated optics would be available at a reasonable price by now.

"it's our fault that we only care about the very best"

Actually, that might also explain the cultural difference of USA vs the other parts of the world. Perhaps in the U.S. people are more obsessed with the very best, and that's why these things become controversial.

It reminds of a recent discussion here about being open about your salary. My conclusion from (based on comments of other people) it was that it is a strong taboo in the U.S., although in Norway, it is acceptable for everybody to know. And that it possibly also ties to higher emphasis on competition in the U.S.

It's interesting - it takes an outsider (or a jester) to see society's taboo.

I have some fundamental problems with her approach to political correctness in the Medium article. Too many to go over, but the simplest and most frustrating is the complete disregard for the experience of transgender people, stating that it's a "performance" while race is not. That itself is completely disrespectful and not understanding the core issue before arguing it.

This sounds like pretty much the same argument that @eganist and I made to Google and Mozilla a little while back before demoing an HPKP supercookie (https://github.com/cyph/hpkp-supercookie) at Black Hat and DEF CON.

Our position was that doing just about anything less than what Chris did here was essentially lying to users about incognito mode's threat model, but if I recall correctly both teams viewed other security tradeoffs (such as carrying over HPKP and HSTS state) as worth considering infringing on incognito's stated purpose.

In the end they did both follow our suggested mitigation for the HPKP issue (before Google turned around and deprecated HPKP out of nowhere ಠ_ಠ), but it isn't surprising to hear that similar issues may still exist.
The senior title comes with many responsibilities that exceed the previous stages. For example I'd expect a senior to be able to take a well rounded approach to problem solving. They need to be able to use their years of experience to bring in technical value to the company. I guess the rest depends on the actual job spec. Normally you'd find the list of responsibilities to be longer.
I'd argue Yee is quite important and not useless, though. It's brought joy to many.
Hello everyone, my name is Alexey from USA. my husband left me and our child for another woman a year ago, ever since then my life has been filled with pains, sorrow and trauma because he was my first love and we have been together for years and i couldn't imagine my life without him. I saw some testimonies about a great spell caster DR Asaka and how he help people around the world. And that he can bring back ones lover within some few days, initially i ignored it and said I am not interested, but due to the love I have for my partner I consulted the great spell caster and to my greatest surprise after two days my husband called me for the very first time after a year that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me go through, and that he wants me back. He promise never to leave me and our child again. I still can't believe my very eyes, because it's highly unbelievable, it's just too good to be true. Dr Asaka is such a nice man, he also helped me stop my cardiac arrest problem. If you have any problem whatsoever, contact him on this email: drasakaspelltemple@gmail.com

Hello everyone, my name is Alexey. After my relationship with David for years, he broke up with me, I did everything to get him back, but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster who could help me cast a spell to bring him back, but I'm the type who never believed in the spell, I had no choice but to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me it was no problem everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprising in the second day, it was around 16:00. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call, and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened that he wanted me to return to him, he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then I have made the promise to anyone I know to have a relationship problem, I would be helpful to the person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my problem. If you have any problem whatsoever, contact him on this email: drasakaspelltemple@gmail.com

Contact him for the following and see the great work of Dr Asaka:
1) Love Spells
2) Lost Love Spells
3) Divorce Spells
4) Marriage Spells
5) Binding Spell.
6) Breakup Spells
7) Banish a past Lover
8.) You want to be promoted in your office/ Lottery spell
9) want to satisfy your lover

It also is not an extreme position to say that that is not my problem, that I don't care, and that I don't want to sacrifice my safety to help them.
> the app collects no data whatsoever. i have no idea what your IP address is (the app connects directly to environment canada to retrieve the raw radar data). no crash data/telemetry is collected automatically

!!! You're the best. Thank you! Unfortunately not US/Can, otherwise I'd immediately switch to your app just because of that (I'd buy it anyway if it was paid, just to show support).

I wish more devs would have this approach. You don't need telemetry to create good software. You don't need to monitor what the user does with your application, when and how. You don't need to log everything, or listen in on conversations with third-party APIs. You don't have to outsource testing and QA onto your users.

I think the answer lay almost entirely with echo chambers. These exist not only in the digital world, but even increasingly in the real world as people connect to people through digital filtering.

Vegetarianism is a good example. Many, though not all, vegetarians are going to be going in that direction due to some form of objection to how animals are treated. But when you surround them with nothing but other people who hold views that are at least as far away from the mean, they're going to suddenly seem quite trite. And this pushes people ever further down one path or another.

By contrast when you have a diverse array of views, the real position of stances can be clearly seen. That is to say for one that agrees that eating meat implies inherent mistreatment of animals, vegetarians are already taking a more active stance than ~97% of Americans. The same would be approximately true for those that e.g. go for fish + veggie diets. But in a world where those 3% are surrounded by only those 3%, vegetarians are extremely 'conservative' in their views.

The whole thing is people need to surround themselves with a good number of people they disagree with on things. But this is not an easy thing to do, and so most people do not. And in fact even things like voting systems on these social media sites discourage such behavior. Many people do not downvote as a matter of something being inappropriate, they downvote because of disagreement. And that pushes views that go against the plurality's grain further and further out of site to the point that people no longer even think they exist. And of course on another site the exact view bias is instead being pushed to the top with everything else being removed out of the groupthink. It's not a very dangerous problem for a democratic nation.
She recently got interviewed in Ezra Klein's show to discuss the same:

To paraphrase one of the better soundbites in the show: YouTube is like that friend in high school who always outdoes you no matter what you do. You're vegetarian, she's vegan; you're moderate left or right, she's at the more extreme end of the political spectrum; etc.

Only using “app you can trust” seriously limits what you can do on your device. This might be a solution for you, but it’s really not a solution to the privacy problem, it’s duct-tape on something that needs to be fixed on a larger scale.
> I think the answer is that drug development is the kind of process which public institutions are particularly ill suited to manage.

What?

The argument that only they can provide what the public needs is just an excuse to avoid competition, as it is everytime you hear it being made in any industry: Municipal broadband is not able to fulfill the requirements of the fast-pacing telecommunications market so we should outlaw it and subsidize the private sector even more so you can finally have that 1MB dsl line you were due in 1999.

The Pharma industry has been "caught" many times preferring and in some cases preventing development of "cures" to instead sell long lasting treatments. Like most businesses, the only merit they care about is what makes them the most money, and there is nothing wrong with that, but let's not make them the gallant saviors of the masses when their evident greed becomes apparent every quarterly report and lobbying all over the world to avoid any form of competition is just the latest example of it.

"the idea that I'm simply less biologically capable than men in any way"

Nobody (serious) is saying that. First, when this is talked about, it's always about averages, which are meaningless from individual perspective.

Second, there are obvious biological traits where women are less capable than men on average, like weightlifting. There are also traits where women are more capable, like having kids.

These are facts though. You might also not be a fan of idea that "Earth revolves around Sun", but that's how it is.

On the other hand, I can understand your feeling. I am for example not a fan of idea that many humans are xenophobes.
