I had my eyes closed and was just watching stuff like silvery reflections and fractal like patterns and waves. At some point it just appeared as a triangle with an eye in it. It was a bit mysterious and may have had a slight glow to it. It wasn't a negative thing for me. I can't remember exactly but I think it probably was at the top of a pyramid.

I didn't search for it until maybe 10 or so years later and started getting a bit buzzed out about it all. I didn't know what it was until then, at which point I realised it was on the dollar bill. Even if I had (likely) seen it before the trip it wasn't something that was part of my everyday life or consciousness, which makes it very weird.
Kink shaming is a thing now huh? Just because you say so?

It's disgusting, depraved, sub-human, and no, shouldn't be on television ever.

Society has the right to make judgements about behaviors that are deplorable, undesirable, immoral, etc and can and should try to suppress those behaviors either through laws or even shame.
You need to look up how Equities work.

This looks like an RSU grant of 600K; there are different vesting schedules (i.e. how much of the RSU becomes actual shares in the company, owned by you which you can sell/keep). Typically its 25% every year with a 1 year cliff (i.e. you get 0 actual shares when you start, but 25% after a year and so on).
Time to start wearing facial recognition resistant makeup and hairstyles
Are photo databases naturally public, e.g. can anyone create a photo database and publish it like wikipedia? How about storing for private use against a public facial recognition cloud service? Do citizens have a right to be forgotten in such a database? Do different countries legal systems, precedent case law and constitutions have the same answers to these questions?
GPGTools tried this before. The backlash was substantial.

> More promising as a quantum clock is the geometry of space itself: monitoring spacetime’s changing curvature as the infant universe expands or a black hole forms. Kucha surmises that such a property might still be measurable in the extreme conditions of quantum gravity. The expanding cosmos offers the simplest example of this scheme. Imagine the tiny infant universe as an inflating balloon. Initially, its surface bends sharply around. But as the balloon blows up, the curvature of its surface grows shallower and shallower. “The changing geometry,” explains Kucha, “allows you to see that you are at one instant of time rather than another.” In other words, it can function as a clock.

Yes, you wouldn't compete with Uber directly but you could look at some small piece of that business which they can't serve very well because of their size.

It doesn't need to be said for Musk, since a visionary entrepreneur is the exception, not the rule. Musk's choices can be explained away -- a smart domain expert like Musk probably has a better understanding of the risks and rewards in his domain of work than most other people. There are always exceptional people in the world who can not only imagine futures, but make them reality.

Hiring a think tank to solve a problem is a brute force search; almost like a random walk in the solution space. That's a huge risk for someone with lots of money and no domain expertise, but perhaps less a risk for an Einstein who has relevant knowledge and skills. Lots of solutions were found in the proverbial garage, and perhaps would have never been the product of a billion dollars and the best MIT grads you could hire. Nonetheless, spontaneity is, by definition, not something you can really throw money at and expect to happen. Even a trillion dollars will not help you find the next Einstein who can solve the exact problem you are working on.
And, I expect Intel also has a cost-base problem. They have 106,000 employees, compared to AMD's 8,900.
See that's the thing, there are whole worlds of fetishes out there that people can't possibly be expected to understand. (This is one) So, the sort of fire-and-brimstone moralizing that you promote has been termed 'kink-shaming' (not by me, cmon man...)

It has nothing to do with Apple either. It's open-source extensions for doing GPG in Apple Mail. They were FOSS and now trying to move to O$$.
Clojure spec is contract programming. You write pre and post conditions to ensure at runtime that Pre -> Program -> Post and every time you call a function pre and post conditions need to be checked. Dependent types analyze that relationship at compile time by proving that given the preconditions the function will produce the desired output. Since this is a compile time check you will not have a runtime penalty.
Looks like one of Google’s notorious acquihires.
More scary: They are just using the information that identifies you, that they already have, and are tying it to your face in a 100% verified way. By which I mean that they now have a database of people’s IDs along with what is most certainly a scan of their face.

Now other companies will offer large amounts of money for this data because they can identify you when you enter stores, walk by things, have your picture online, etc.

This is different to let’s say Facebook because the scans are made at a booth with professional scanning equipment, not some person’s crappy holiday picture with too much backlight.

Also, there is no doubt about who is scanned while on social media you might get on someone’s pictures and Facebook will ask “is this James?” Ehm maybe. Not with delta though.

In a few years you will get extorted for this info bacausenif you don’t let your face get scanned, you can’t fly. Complete distopia.

"Contrary to what most people believe, I see that native English speakers can learn German rather easily"

I doubt that. While English is part of the West Germanic languages, there are huge grammatical differences. I assume it would be much easier for a Polish or Russian Person to learn German than for an English.

The sentence "Man bites Dog" and "Dog bites Man" has a different meaning in English, due to to position of the noun. In German, both is possible.

"Der Hund beisst den Mann" and

"Den Mann beisst der Hund" has the same meaning.

Declension makes the word order in German very flexible.

Apple doesn’t restrict people’s ability to consume what they want; they simply choose not to be a distributor of things they choose not to distribute. You can watch porn on a Mac — that doesn’t mean Apple has to become an outlet for its distribution. It’s kind of a libertarian view: do what you want, that doesn’t mean they have to promote or sell it themselves.
It's basically because these production lines are incredibly complex and getting tiny details right is important.

When you have humans running a line, they can notice and adapt to the countless possible issues that occur (like "the alignment here is often slightly out" or "tightening X here causes problems for the people in the next station"). Their top speed is theoretically less than a automated line, but they are quite adaptable and robust.

Since automated lines are less adaptable and robust, so you have to get them just right. Any tiny little issue can cause surprising problems down the line and implementing fixes is quite slow because you can't just describe the problem and required fix to a human and leave them to work it out.

I think the best way to set up a production line is to exclusively use humans at the beginning, and carefully introduce automation once the process is understood and stable
Apple with Cook as CEO is a great examlpe of how much impact a efficient supply chain can have.

That's a useful site. It reduces the Daily Fail to a single paragraph!
It doesn't work this way. They way it works is that somebody with political power would get their skeletons ignored, and somebody with less power would get their skeletons extracted out of the closet and served to the pitchfork mob. This is the weapon in the war for power, and it would be used this way, and will become deployed more and more. And given that power is a pyramid, you have much more chances to lose than to win.

Of course, nobody holds the power forever, and eventually there would be other people who overthrow those and throw them to the pitchfork mob too. Which will eat them as eagerly as they ate somebody else at their prompting a short time ago. But it wouldn't make it any better for people that have already been eaten by the mob before that.

The only solution for this is to get rid of the pitchfork mobs.
Not too good to be true.

Check out Wasabi’s graph, you’ll see even at their pricing, you can buy a brand new top of the line fully loaded Synology or QNAP NAS populated with high capacity high performance (online use) Enterprise model HDDs every year for the same price.

And that’s at consumer scales. Turns out very easy to beat at commercial scale.
Is there a way to open subtabs within each container? Ie in the google container I’d like subtabs for YouTube, Gmail, calendar, drive, etc

Started at a company that technically was not a startup at the point I joined (10 years old — 300 employees). I got lucky and 6 months in the company was acquired and all my stock vested immediately. Made about $15k but was given $200k in RSUs at the new company. I can’t complain.
Kinda strange that he derided Mathematica at the end of the article. If I were asked to explore coming up with an algorithm to control the car, it's very obvious to me that Mathematica is a great choice, both for modeling the problem (a parametric curve for the road) and for visualization (although I'd do something much less fancy than he did, such as just using the basic ListLinePlot with some Manipulate). Seems like a fun exercise nonetheless.
Have the line turn a corner so people in the back can't see what's happening to the people at the front.

(sigh it's so long past the point of joking that it wouldn't be a surprise to see something like this implemented somewhere for similar reasons.)
How do you imagine they aren't scanning your passport and driver's license photos, which you also need to fly/drive, and are also "100% verified" — because they are people's IDs — already anyway?

EDIT: Re: the "quality" of those photos: Because "they" already have the original image that was printed on your license or passport. Images really don't need to be that big or high quality to identifiably determine your facial features.
Juxatapose this with number of multi-national or us-based companies in each EU member and we might be on to something.
Ok, genuine question. Why should this start firing off alarms in anyone's head?

Because here I am, as a Libertarian/AnCap, and all I can think is: "What, they haven't already been doing this at secure locations for at least a decade?!"

With the amount of corruption I've seen in Africa/third-world, I would not trust any sort of official documentation coming from them. Biometric data allows an entity/government to tie down or verify a person's identity beyond the limitations of human-corruptible identification documents. And the only way to do that is to build a database to cross-reference and detect fraud.
> This started happening to me after I got married.

Social signalling is very important. The fact that you're married is a signal to others that you're stable/good/OK enough that another human being has committed to spend their life with you, to start a family with you, to be exclusive with you etc. It is signalling maturity which many folks find calming and attractive.
Well, the IPCC doesn't think that, and also doesn't believe that we are going to get to 6 degrees C of warming.

The predictions that I follow are not the pop doomsday predictions made on the internet. It is instead the predictions made by the official government experts on climate change.

Also, all of this is definitely not predicted to happen within 20 years. actually bad effects are predicted more like 200 years+ from now. Which is plenty of time, if you just look at how much the human race has accomplished in the previous 200 years.
The worlds population living on $10/day, will have no use for a book on a niche aspect of type systems. The majority of people on that wage will probably not even access to a computer.

What is the memory hit though. Do the separate profile processes share some of the library memory or do they each reuse a lot of memory. I’d assume chrome profiles being natively supported via a easy GUI means the separate profile processes are able to share memory??
I always thought it was so strange that something as relieving and safe as vomiting makes us feel like the world is ending.
If you look at what is going on in the EU and the Euro problems it seems people don't have much of an appetite for it. Even the US struggles with reconciling the different requirements of local and federal government.

If there are new laws which permit this data collection, do we need new laws to restrict usage of the information and new penalties for misuse?
The problem is that we've optimized for convenience and friendliness. I've seen freaking F2P MMORPGs offering better login security procedures than major financial products.

Getting a loan is a significant decision. It's okay to have some circumstance and hassle around it, especially if it can actually provide some security benefits.

Personally, I'd love to see "each credit application must be submitted with a photo and a fingerprint" or even "you must go into some physical office to get verified." Yes, it would be a hassle to get that 90-days-same-as-cash washing machine promo, but if someone claimed identity theft, you've got a thick stack of records designed to make prosecuting the crime easy.

Unfortunately, it wasn't much of a joke (or a kind of joke which is funny because it's true). And it is arguably it's not that much of a joke in the modern US either, with the whole "three felonies a day" thing and various "espionage" and "foreign influence" laws that are being dug up from two centuries ago and dusted off and deployed for political purposes. The idea that bad laws would also apply to people in power and thus they'd see they are bad and change them is hopelessly naive.
I was just talking to someone about this.

The docs describe the fn call interface here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch19-01-unsafe...

Then you need a .h header. I would include a .la and .pc so other toolchains can set their options correctly. The build instructions for users would be something like cargo build or make (which calls cargo).

PS: Mozilla does ;)
Do-notation is Haskell is purely syntactic sugar over function calls. You can remove do-notation from Haskell and still write the exact same programs (with monads and all).
Also, monads are not about state anymore than classes in Java are about Toasters.
>I don't want to skim a medium-length article

When you're the first half of your life, a part of your brain is secretly convinced that you're immortal and that you therefore have all the time in the world. With that state of mind, reading random articles in depth seems like no big deal.

At a certain point (around your mid-30's, usually), a switch flips in your head and you start to realize your time is very much finite.

This is when TL;DR's start to matter a great deal because they help you decide where and how much of your time to invest in random new things.

I don't presume to make a solid guess which part of your life you're in, but I'd say your comment just tilted the odds towards the first half.
Not without MS Access. And now I'll show myself out...
Yes, some intergalactic conflict against a hostile alien species would be welcome if it meant getting a breaking from fighting over the same old shit between ourselves.
Gee, I have no idea what in what I said produced your extremely nasty, sarcastic, petty comment. You don't know me. So I looked at your page.. which says:

This place is way too fucking full of trolls who have never produced anything themselves and don't even know how it's done but always want the last word anyway.

So it sounds like I shouldn't take your nastiness personally. It's you, not me. But I don't think it's appropriate on here at all. You have 5000pts on here, I don't need to quote the guidelines at you, I guess, but it seems like you've forgotten a few. If I'm not allowed to say, about things that seem wrong to me on here, that they seem wrong, and explain why, without being nastily attacked, then it's not a place I want to be. Of course. No-one would.

The second great period of serfdom has already begun. Look at the current crop of startups and what the average millenial (and older) is doing to make money... Uber, contract employment, renting, leasing.... nobody owns anything anymore unless you're doing well, which is increasingly rare
CC BY-NC-SA does not permit the use of the software for commercial purposes. This violates point 6 of the Open Source Definition[OSD] that says, "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor: The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research."

Hah, that's funny. As an anecdote, I was having a nice trip back from holidays when a security guard body-searched my then 2-year-old kid at Amsterdam airport on arrival. The shock-realization of what sort of society we've become threw me off the track.
How easily you embarrass may not matter if HR department in the place where you work would decide they can't risk employing a person that said something wrong 50 years ago. Or at least the person who said something wrong 50 years ago and somebody managed to get a pitchfork mob interested in that.
> I used to wonder if people ask others the obvious "you're fat, aren't you" etc.

I think this is mostly because fat-shaming is a thing in many cultures; a very toxic phenomena that has caused much unnecessary anguish.

I have no advice for you, but I really wanted to say: I'm sorry that you've had a life like that.

Given you can't buy a house under $1M in pretty much all Silicon Valley by now, how rare it is? There are tons of houses and somebody buys them. So unless that's a dozen people who are buying all the houses - which I don't see the evidence of, e.g. lots of empty houses or massive rent/own ratio shift - somebody is doing well enough to buy those $1M houses.
I would study the practical, and then practice and innovate.

That means, some theoretical stuff [0, 1], design some boring stuff according to it, and then color outside the lines and try to push the field forward a bit by finding a better way to do a common thing (according to you, a fresh set of eyes in the UX world).

Look at example projects on codepen [2] for a ton of examples of each of these. For instance, you're going to find really common ways of making input boxes, but some wild new ways too. I think that's what a good UX person knows -- a little of both. You don't need to know how to code them unless you get interested in coding -- this is to learn what to design by getting inspired at some other people's work. Soon enough, you are going to know what is good UX and bad UX, even if it doesn't correspond to the official rules of UX.

Also read some about how the big dogs are doing UX (good and bad/dark) to get a lay of the corporate land.

I would argue that the photo on passports and licence cards, is too small and typically covered with a reflective security logo, to be good enough to extract useful point data for facial recognition.
How are they scanning my driver's license photo when they aren't scanning it a machine at all, and even if they did, the photo is not encoded to be digitally read, so they'd just get a relatively low quality image scan.
