It's maybe worth pointing out the tumbling is a hypothesis used to explain variable brightness measurements and not something that was observed directly.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.00437.pdf

For all anyone knows the intrinsic brightness was variable.

(This is probably not very likely without some supporting spectroscopic anomalies. But still.)

As for thrusters - that's the same problem as the comet and outgassing hypothesis. No known mechanism can explain the acceleration.

And if you were alien race and wanted to look at a planetary system without attracting attention, something that looks like a tumbling rock with a plausibly improbable trajectory would be ideal.

It could just be a coincidence that the first large proven extra-solar object slingshotted around the Sun in a way that happened to pass close by the Earth.

But considering the size of the Solar System and the convenient phasing of the Earth's orbit, what are the odds? It's certainly very curious.

In 50 years it would be some 41bn kms away (it travels at a speed of 26km/s). Say you want to reach it within a five year span that would mean we'll need to build a spacecraft that could travel 0,1% the speed of light. Probably within our future capabilities considering all the theories that have been proposed for interstellar travel. For example the Breakthrough Starshot project has predictions for 10%-20% of the speed of light.

Of course reaching it and landing on it, especially at these speeds, are two completely different things.

I hate to go there but I think the other factor is standardized hardware. You're guaranteed certain hardware setups for iOS devices, for Android it's anybody's guess really whether a phone can support some features or not. It would be nice if all Android phones had USB C, of course it would of been nicer if USB C had better regulation since now all USB C interfaces are like... Ah well a guy can dream can't he.
I think you might be right on with "people who are already all-in on React and GraphQL". I honestly prefer writing JSX/React+GraphQL to a template language even for static content. I like that gatsby makes that an option without making an annoying SPA content site. It‘s a good reality check that this is likely a niche prefer ce.

And I also want to use headless CMSs or other data sources, in my current project a GraphQL source, which maps right in with the (very recent) schema stitching. So I think gatsby is the right choice for me, but I will carefully consider recommending it in the future. Being a VC backed company they may have more cheerleading than other open source SSGs going on.

Proof-Of-Personhood: Redemocratizing Permissionless Cryptocurrencies [pdf]
Yes, switzerland requires time tracking, including a requirement of certain break times if your shift is long enough.
I would say it's a consequence of computer power becoming commoditized - the flaw might be that using computer power in the past can be 'stored', unlike hijacking someone else's computer and renting it out as server space, there's a point in this kind of crime where one has the profits and got away with it.

I just had this thought and want to get it down, apologies for the rant: I suspect that philosophically, the basic measure of our economy has been units of energy, but it's transitioning to units of power. The 'subscription model' most businesses are transitioning to seems to be an early recognition of that fact. Server space, similarly, isn't really something one can store as easily as gold or gasoline - it's only valuable while in use and degrading whether it's in use or not. Our whole concept of currency may be based on an idea of 'stored' value, analogous to swapping joules, while we should be thinking about 'sources' of value - swapping watts. I think the trouble is that renting (or hijacking) servers is accounting in terms of watts, while currency is accounting in terms of joules. The accounting of the two types of approaches may not be as easily reconcilable as it seems at firs.
Hey squaresmile! Yes, right now table detection with Stream doesn't work nicely if the table is not present on the full page, for which you can use the table_area kwarg from [2].

You should use "pip install camelot-py[all]" to install Camelot (which will install opencv-python too). I had to take it out of the requirements since it wasn't available in any conda channels while I was creating the conda package. I'm looking to remove opencv as a requirement altogether by either vendorizing the opencv code that is being used inside Camelot or reimplementing the code using something lightweight like pillow.

Thanks for the catch in [2], I'll correct it!
Please do !
I agree. Luckily, Soyuz will likely fly again. The issue will be identified, and procedures will be out in place to avoid it in the future. Accidents happened in the past, accidents will happen again. Best we can do is make sure we don't repeat mistakes and prepare for things we don't know can go wrong.

I'm just hoping that it's a unknown failure mode. Worst case would (in my opinion) be human error during manufacturing (again).

Well it's a JSF, not a JFS, and similar comparisons can be made to the Harrier, the F16, and F18. I don't have the numbers in front of me at the moment but they're roughly as bad as the MV-22 numbers (in terms of class A mishaps, not personnel casualties as they're single seat/dual seat aircraft) based on my recollection. MV-22's numbers are a bit inflated in terms of casualties due to a single crash that killed about 12 people as I recall.

The fact that the JSF has 100k flight hours and one total aircraft loss and 0 fatalities is unheard of.
Mine draw around 10W idle, about 15W when active. My Linksys and TP-Link trinkets draw under 2W idle (which I'm guessing is my power meter's minimum value), and not much more when active.

I was thinking the same thing, though I think Walmart is miss-interpreted they are not stuck behind the times when it comes to technology. In fact much like PayPal their infrastructure runs on Node (that way the front-end and back-end code is not so diversified). Now I know some people dislike NodeJS, but I hold the belief that programming language is irrelevant if you can be effective with it, and I noticed PayPal got much faster / stable after they switched to NodeJS, so JavaScript in back-end enterprise seems pretty damn effective.

Now if only we could just stop treating Walmart like an old lady who needs hand holding when doing technology and see their acquisitions as more than acquihires and more as investments...
Fires are incredibly expensive, which makes everyone buy fire insurance and incentivizes fire insurances to push fire safety on their customers.

In contrast, most data breaches are very cheap. In most industries the market doesn't seem to punish breaches at all, so there's only the unquantifyable cost of that data benefiting your competitors.

If there was a multi-million-dollar fine on data breaches regardless of fault and countermeasures, we would get exactly what you describe: the market working to reduce risk and average insurance payouts, making everyone's life better in the process.

It's become common in the US to call for civility in politics, because civility is important.

Simultaneously, it's likely that a US ally had a journalist murdered and dismembered in order to silence them and send a message to others that are thinking about writing critical things about Saudi Arabia.

Are you aware of any non-RTOS that "makes it easy to get one"?

> "Speaking of this, you can have sub-millisecond latencies on Beagleboard."

I did not make myself clear, so I'm taking the blame here.

I'm mostly interested in the use case. If it's just capturing audio alone, this number makes sense, and no fancy hardware is necessary.

The moment we're introducing some-kind of processing, or even logging the stream to disc, buffering becomes necessary and latency is introduced. Assume audio stream read by a "user-mode" service, then redirected out through headphones - are we still talking sub-millisecond latencies?
Germany (or rather DACH) has AVM, a German manufacturer that is making the "Fritz!Box" product line and supplied security updates to all affected routers they ever sold after somebody discovered and exploited a bug in the firmware to remotely call premium numbers via VoIP in various countries.

Their routers were also not affected by the KRACK WPA2 exploit last year.

AVM products cost a lot more than their competitors' but they are really worth their money.

Is Julia a JIT compiler? How is Julia different than Pypy or even the JVM? There is also the new GraalVM in the landscape.

I don't see the plus value in Julia compared to Python or Java. It will still be slower than C/C++, probably less portable, and all the legacy libraries have to be rewritten in Julia.

If Julia is only a new syntax, to me Python is already very simple. If Julia is a JIT compiler, why not participate to already available compilers?

Julia is still there, so I guess it adds value, but I don't know where to place that effort in the grand scheme of things.

Also pertinent to wind resistance is whether or not the tree is deciduous, the shape of the leaves' margin, the texture of bark and how they interact as a group in forests.

Another aspect that explains why the vascular explanation is not enough is the resistance of the trunk in supporting the wood's weight. Also important here is the roots' structure.

When I imagine a situation where wind resistance is fundamental, I think of palm trees being subject to seasonal tropical storms, and these look nothing like the diagram in the article.

Underwater, where vascularization and weight are not as important to many branching structures like corals or algae, there is still the problem of resistance against a moving fluid. But the branching/girth/length/angle rules seem to be different.

So I'm still with team "branching optimized for sun/air exposure and constrained by vascularization, weight and root structure".

What you're describing has been desired by many (including Einstein). However, John Bell more or less proved it impossible[0] in a landmark, sweepingly general result. He would have won a Nobel for it if he had lived long enough.

On the other hand, if you are willing to accept superluminal messages and also unobservable mechanics, there is always the pilot wave interpretation[1]. The fluid analogy is disappointing to see go but pilot wave theory lives on.

Fitbit Charge 3 review: Peppering a fitness tracker with smartwatch powers
> the combined cross-sectional areas of a tree’s daughter branches are equal to the cross-sectional area of the mother branch.

Seems so logical, for a flow in the daughter pipes to match the mother pipe... except that the wood of a tree is dead, and the flow happens in the bark... leading to a sum-rule for circumference, proportional to radii and diameter.

However, the point of a tree is structural, to get higher than other trees, higher than herbivores. Is the strength of wood proportional to cross-sectional area (required to resist gravity - the essential problem of height)? If so, that would explain the rule. Similar reasoning to wind in the article.

EDIT it also means the weight per height remains constant through branching... this doesn't seem sustainable; you'd want it to taper.
