They would be better off getting exposure to anything and everything related to finance, statistics, and operations research.

I suspected as much, I just felt that if it was a stance worth making it was probably a stance worth running past legal (even if it meant a quick phone call out of hours.)

Whether that call is met with abstantiation or otherwise is what I was wanting to infer.

Because at this point, abstantiation or sitting on the fence is as good as supporting the bill.
i believe that's why he (and the article) mentioned the A380 which can have something like 4 simultaneous embarking points (probably double that if they board from both sides of the plane).
Yeah the scanners for tickets are basically ... put ticket on scanner, beep ... now wait in a new line while people load up stuff.
Most keyless systems are insecure in several other ways to a surprising degree for this decade.

Even in more recent years, most of them seemingly do not implement

(1) Time of flight checks, e.g. that a radio relay isn't being used to get to the keyfob many more meters away in the house using a relay/amplifier. This is a commonly exploited theft method currently. The Apple watch implements this to unlock your MacBook Pro(!) This has also been shown to be a viable attack method on many contactless payment terminals.

(2) Replay protection - another possible common attack is to receive the rolling code from transmitter, jam it so the car can't hear it and wait for the remote to transmit a second one. Then you jam that also, store that code, but then re-transmit the first code and the car unlocks and now you have a second code to use to unlock the car later. It's possible to both receive and jam the code by using a very precise tuned receiver, and jam in the surrounding the frequencies which in most cases the actual receiver (e.g. car) won't have filtered out. This works particularly well on most garage doors.

(3) Let alone having some kind of recoverable/brute forcible ID scheme, which as we can see here, is also true. I'm sure these aren't the only ones.

It's kindof silly really. I'd be curious to know if any manufacturers have been fixing this in the last couple of years.

If I'm understanding correctly, the new system is implemented on the departing side of the flight, and done (at least partly) in the name of security. So, to support this system, even more effort and equipment would be required in foreign airports for flights to the US.

The question is not “is Google better or worse than average?” It’s: what is the risk of building an app on a Google API? The risk is high, and it’s not worth it. Their track record is abysmal. Sure, if you pick a random provider out of a hat, maybe Google is better. But if you look for a solid provider or better just build your own service instead of trying to glom onto someone else’s (someone with no real incentive to see your product succeed).
Sweden in the 1920s was indeed in a comparatively sweet spot, but so was much of Western world before the Great Depression and WW2 hit. However, by modern standards, Sweden was still quite poor and agrarian: life expectancy for both men and women was under 50 years until the 1890s, and it was the last nation in Europe to experience a major natural famine in 1867-9, with ~15% of the population dying.

Which is why you decided to leave out any details?

Given the quality of the average study I'm not going to drop my arguments for the yelling. "There is a study" means little or even nothing at all.

Also, I think I read about what you mean and I think you are misinterpreting it. Of course in the end human life is all about emotions and what controls inside your brain what evidence is accepted naturally is quite complex or we would not have that "old scientists need to die" meme, but it does not mean at all that arguments don't ever work.

The problem with the average argument - don't know if adding "especially on the Internet" is justified or if it's actually not much different than the rest of life - is atrociously bad. I would not be persuaded by most arguments made to me and I think that this is very rational.

There is more than one side to this. The problem is good arguments take a lot of effort and time - and it's an iterative process. It needs someone to take somebody else seriously, mostly to be able to "read" the other person, what their issue actually is. Very often it isn't what somebody says. The brain puts thoughts into words not like a computer, where what you get on the outside is a correct representation of internal state. Instead, human speech is itself an iterative process and develops dynamically. For example, it may very well be that what somebody really needs is somebody they feel they can trust, rather than that they need the actual details. Even worse, while you say things, if you really put effort into it, _what_ you think may very well change too!

That lack of trust is an issue for very good reasons in large parts of our society is a fact, unfortunately. I think the discussion is full of "barking at the wrong tree". Yes, I think technical arguments won't help because underneath there is a severe lack of trust in authorities, medical, technical, administrative. Which quite frankly I don't find irrational.

I think arguing about frequencies and what they do is like trying to treat the skin problems of a severe disease instead of the underlying cause. Of course, it is much - MUCH - harder to get at that underlying cause, which is way to obig and hard to get at, far easier to go after the symptoms. Because to really treat such issues deeply would mean big changes to our society.

By the way, it is not true that radio frequencies can't cause cancer at all (and that we are certain of this knowledge), as I read in some comments here. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10926722 Yes that's very specific and extreme, they were right under the radar for much of their life. I read it first in the context of German Bundeswehr radar technicians (example: https://www.dw.com/en/german-army-cancer-victims-sue-us-rada...).

Hopefully someone who knows more than me will come along, but can you front run a limit order?

Say the price of the stock is $101. You place a limit order for $100. HFT sees that but can’t do anything since the stock price is above the limit.

Stock price drops to $99.5. Your order is the executed by the exchange before the HFT can buy at $99.5 and sell to you at $100.

I’ve only flown the A380 twice. Both times that still had a bottleneck in economy of people getting settled despite boarding through multiple jetways.

The bottleneck is at the seats, esp in coach/economy. On a single-aisle aircraft, this typically backs up onto the jetway, but even multiple door/aisle, the slowest agent can scan tickets and check IDs faster than people can get settled on average even when some of them can settle in parallel (perhaps one per aisle per very few rows).

A couple of relevant tweets from one of the authors on twitter:

Yeah, I don't see the problem. Unless and until customers are manifestly paying exorbitant effective fees compared to typical brokers, there's nothing to be upset about and little reason to intervene.

Transparency is concerning (as are all pricing strategies that try to hide the ball), but in the world of finance this doesn't rank very high in the opaqueness department. As you say, if you're not the customer you're the product. Especially in the context of a service that is actually performing real-world, meaningful transactions on your behalf (as opposed to publishing funny comments to internet memes), you have to be hopelessly naive to believe you're not remunerating them with your own money.

There are plenty of hopelessly naive people out there, but you don't slap down a business strategy simply because it could steal from these people. You wait around until its clear the harms outweigh the benefits, otherwise the market in every product or service would be limited to minimizing the potential harm to the dumbest among us.

i have a 720p camera and a clear, bright image. i see no difference when choosing between female and male actor. it seems stuck in angelina jolie.
I tried this on my Pixel XL and it worked surprisingly well, with one exception: the picture froze when I tried to select a different fake type. The page itself was still responsive (timer ticked down, I was able to "select" pictures, could scroll normally), but the final image was frozen and did not change despite waiting a minute or so.

I realize that you're probably not targeting mobile, but just in case. :)

Edit to add output example: https://i.imgur.com/yflCAd9.jpg

The resulting image is much darker and more pixelated than my actual front camera. Given the difference between my face type and Nicholas Cage's (I'm fat and bald), I'm surprised it mapped as well as I did.

Notable failures:

1. Edge of face ("ghosted" edges with my actual round face protruding from the faked area)

2. Map mouthing (very difficult to change the faked expression)

3. Eyebrows (they don't seem mapped at all)

Notable successes:

1. Angle (the faked face is consistently angled when I move my face/head)

2. Complexion (no real skin color variance)

This issue has popped up at least once before where someone on Github was complaining about the terminology "killing a child process" because they had recently had a death in the family and were trying to cope. Most agreed that changing it would be a tremendous waste of time (think of all that perfectly good documentation and code which must be rewritten), unnecessarily polarizing (I won't join your project because your dictionary words hurt me!), placing the needs of the few squarely over the needs of the many, and teaching people that "social justice" means "everything should be as I want it."

It really depends on what you mean by "a context that is oppresive to certain groups", but I think this is roughly the same. Nobody should have to endure insults, bullying, harrasment, sexual innuendos, etc. in open source projects, especially maintainers and contributors. However it sounds to me like hurting over words such as master/slave, male/female, kill/fork/dongle/etc is an incredibly small group of people actively looking to cause problems. If you absolutely can't accept the terminology "killing a process" then perhaps the problem lies with you, not 40-odd years of convention.

Primate brain has special parts specifically wired to visually process snakes [1]. It is also thought that it has specific parts that process the shape of spider, and maybe other insects [2]. This is one explanation why primates have such a strangely large brain. Processing image requires a lot of computational power, being arboreal, primates need to distinguish snakes and spiders to safely crawl in the forest.

This is not to say, primates wouldn't eat snakes or spiders. I don't know if other primates eat them (they might be?) but humans do eat both [3] [4].

One of the interesting things about the galactic orbit is that our system is not exactly in the galactic plane, so as it orbits it passes through the plane to the other side and then back again.

The kinetic energy of objects is proportional to the square of the velocity (Ke = (mv^2)/2), so an object going 4 times faster than a solar system object has 16 times the energy for the same mass. This makes it possible to have extinction level events from rocks that are 1/4 the size of planet killing asteroids.
Or maybe if you become a vet it’s because you love animals, and killing them day in, day out takes a massive toll.

No they weren't. They were expelled to prevent them eating from the tree of life:

"Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken." (Genesis 3:22-23)

> Utopia is a state of unhindered, continual learning at your own chosen pace.

That's pretty darn close to a solid Christian perspective on heaven, where God himself is the one whose infinite love, creativity, and power bring unending joy to his people -- and knowing more about him (there's infinite content to be taken in) becomes the pursuit that never gets old. He's the only reason heaven won't be dull after 10^x years -- both knowing him personally and enjoying and learning about (via science, etc.) the new things he will do.
Muslims and Jewish people don't eat pork. If you ask a religious Muslim or Jew they'll tell you "they don't eat it because God forbid them to". But if you go to more secular cultures (Europen/American Jewish communities, Turkey, Azerbaijan etc...) they'll rationalize it by saying "pig is not a clean animal, that's why we don't eat it".

Human culture comes in all sorts of shapes and beliefs. The moment you try to put it into cups, you'll realize it's not as flexible as you thought. There are thousands of cultures that eat insect, or pig; and as many cultures that consider them unclean.
If you'll let me play devil's advocate for a second: are you sure it's the impostor syndrome? Is there any chance that you're (with the best of intentions) misrepresenting your knowledge of the vendor to the client? That would certainly induce a fear of failure and being 'found out'. Do you feel your clients understand that while you have a great track record and are knowledgeable in the problem domain, you don't have experience with their specific vendor? If not, maybe explaining that and framing it as a project risk would help with the fear?
One use that occurs to me (though it opens a legal basket of worms) is amateur filmmaking. People love to write fan fiction; deepfakes can open the door to visual fan fiction in movie or TV form on a level that's not really possible right now.

A more legitimate one would be for videoconferencing -- if you fake yourself in the best possible shape (say, after some weight loss, plus makeup, plus great hair style, plus wardrobe), you can ALWAYS put your best visual foot forward without the hassle/money. So you could be sitting there bloated after eating a bunch of tacos but in a videoconference, look your best.

Similarly, it could be great for film productions: prepare a library of photos in proper makeup/prosthetics, then deepfake the actual footage, allowing the actor to work normally without the time and money spent redoing them every day.
Noobermin mentioned that OP compares a power vs an intensity (different units).

The comparison of JavaScript cold start times by the number/size of dependencies is a little confusing.

I’m not too familiar with how all the various serverless platforms work, but a decent bundler would surely improve the cold start times of most JavaScript functions. Deploying dozens of megabytes of dependencies across dozens and dozens of files is obviously going to result in a longer start up time than uploading a single bundle generated by webpack or Rollup.

Enforcing a single <1MB file [0] seems to have at least partly allowed drastically improved cold start times for Cloudflare Workers in comparison with AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Functions (although Cloudflare Workers also a much smaller feature set).

> The signal -client- is open source, but the server is closed. Yes partial server code is open, but running your own server is not allowed.

This is not true at all, the server is entirely AGPLv3[1]. You can run your own server, but they don't want to federate and don't want people to distribute forks of their code (that connect to their servers). What they want is irrelevant because the license they've put the code under explicitly allows you to do these things -- though arguably they are allowed to restrict connections to their servers because that's a freedom under AGPLv3.

So while I agree (and I explicitly said I agreed in an earlier comment) with the problems with Signal -- you are not helping explain why Signal has issues by spreading misinformation about it being proprietary. It isn't proprietary nor is it unverifiable, instead it is run by a company that has no interest in federation or solving much more important issues with their service. That is a serious enough problem that you don't need to make up issues that will just discredit legitimate complaints.

For reference, this was a course project done in my class at Stanford (CS 242: Programming Languages) last fall, not a peer-reviewed publication. Overall a great project. The title is a bit general, but the goal was to identify what resources people found most useful when learning Rust and why. My favorite bit:

> Participant behavior indicates that they found the in-line Rust Enhanced compiler errors that showed upon saving to be quite useful. Participants were not told about this feature, and only discovered it, on average, 1058 seconds (17 minutes, 38 seconds) into the task. However, after finding the Rust Enhanced compiler error feature, participants began saving every 30.6 seconds, on average, with an average of 24.8 total saves per person.
