Well I had the privilege of working with Paul McKenney who invented (and patented) Read-Copy-Update (RCU). He came to IBM as part of the Sequent acquisition, and was part of the Linux Technology Center, which was in the Systems and Technology group.

If you take a look at some of IBM's press releases, you'll see there are plenty of Fellows that come from the SWG and STG, and not just Research. For example:

You're being incredibly disingenuous if you're suggesting this isn't a non-obvious and surprising finding for most people.

Everybody "knows" that scene from Blade Runner is "just science fiction". Well now it's not.
Does the backhaul capacity exist for 5G in those areas? From a quick Google it seems lots of people are betting on microwave links rather than fibre for that.
Sorry, but that just won't work.

The device I've looked at that I believe will work is a Hitachi Airis II. It has just about the right field strength, working volume and field uniformity for the prototype to have a chance of working. It's an older model and I have seen some for sale for approximately $30k.
Attackers Use Zero-Day That Can Restart Cisco Security Appliances
I agree with you. But what I'm focusing here is that although the paper uses high resolution cameras to retrieve identifiable images, one can may now use super-resolution to retrieve the same images from normal cameras.
Do you have any reference material on using neo4j for complex pricing - we're looking at using neo4j for this, and some evidence that it's going well in other places will increase the comfort level.
In the area Apple's new maps are in, in my experience (important to underline that): yes, they do. I've been using these new maps since they appeared in the iOS 12 beta, so close to half a year, and they're pretty good. And, yes, to a comment you made below this one, Apple Maps is getting good at handling traffic. I find them equal to Google, although not as good as Waze. (Yes, I know Google owns Waze, but I'm standing by this. Waze does better than Google Maps here.)

As the linked blog post shows, they're definitely not perfect; I haven't encountered anything particularly egregious, but the fun thing about maps is that virtually everyone will run into what are ostensibly "edge cases" eventually. Apple Maps has steered me wrong before, but so has Google and Waze. (Waze has gotten much better at destinations in the last few years, after their purchase by Google, although they still have a disquieting penchant for "shortcut" directions that include "make this uncontrolled left turn across three lanes of traffic." Not only does Apple rarely do that, Google rarely does that.)
Agreed, here is one good comparison of color spaces:

Things like CIELAB are also interesting in that they provide more perceptually uniform color spaces, but at a greater computational cost.
I wonder how many people even use their Yahoo accounts any more. This thread was the first that I heard about flickr changing T&Cs. I don't ever log in, I just have some scripts that add particular photos to my photostream -- I.m up to 1,700 now. These then get shown on particular web pages on a web site that I run.

I'll probably end up paying for a couple of months of Pro before deleting everything (as it'll take some time to migrate onto another service).

What frustrates me is that this is the second service that I use that changed it's T&Cs on me this year which needed a lot of work to redo my websites (the other was Google Maps which went from free to $2k/month).

Flickr needs to make money, but I'll bet the fallout will be bad as this change affects a bunch of users who have no idea that it is coming. Presumably the 3% of free people with more than 1k photos are causing significant costs and Flickr wants to dump them.
Seems like this is the type of thing that should be ultimately built out as an algorithm rather than hardcoded exceptions etc.
Thanks, I will take a look :)
I can't imagine how a government education program could hope to achieve equality in outcome in the face of education-aware and education-prioritizing parents spending far more time and working with their children outside of school on enrichment activities that improve educational outcomes.

I've done some volunteer work at the Cambridge, MA public schools where my kids attend. The vast majority of any achievement gap that exists is not under the control of the school for any practical purposes, IMO.
It sounds like it isn't designed to be permanent:

"'This is an interim solution to cover the loss of Greyhound while we work with communities,' said Transportation Minister Claire Trevena, who said B.C. Transit would be spending $2 million to operate the service starting June 4."

I'm kind of surprised they aren't making it permanent though - $2 million seems pretty cheap, and making it government-run ensures it won't be taken away again.
Southwest, at least as of 2 years ago when I stopped flying. Of course being partial to them just means I'd check their prices first, before Matrix.

1. Experienced pilots on all legs, rather than eg Corporate Liability Shield #73 dba United Express.

2. No change fees. Sure, fellating surveillance programs on other airlines can probably get you this too, but why bother?

3. As you've referenced, two free bags. Most of the time "unbundling" means paying the same fare plus the fees.

4. Hot chocolate (yes, this really deserves its own bullet point).

If any airline actually stopped enabling the blue shirted molesters, I would switch in a heartbeat. Until then, they're really all just cattle cars.
One of the Japanese camera companies presented this technique at a Siggraph in about 2004 +/- about 3 years. They also showed they could model the shape of the cornea and use that to flatten the image, find the resolution was highest in the direction the person was looking because the curvature of the cornea is highest in the direction the eye is looking.
> It has a whole lot to do with net neutrality when an IP-based video streaming service is being blocked by an ISP.

No, it doesn't, because it isn't being blocked for the ISP’s customers, except incidentally in that some SlingTV customers are probably using it over AT&T internet.

> This isn't an ordinary cable carriage dispute.

Yes, it is. Or, at least, it's special only because the content provider is also competing multichannel video distribution platform operator by way of its U-Verse cable, DirecTV satellite, and DirecTV Now OTT services; their ISP business is basically irrelevant to the issue.

> If they were blocking YouTube Red, Hulu, and Netflix would you claim that has nothing to do with NN either?

If they were blocking any of those to their own ISP customers as such, it would have something to do net neutrality. But that's not the issue.

Instead of developing Guice, Google should have just rewritten their entire codebase in Haskell, which actually has meaningful abstractions, as opposed to the non-abstract indirection crap that is "dependency injection".

Fuck Guice.
Nubia X: A Dual Display Smartphone
This would be killer. There are some kml overlays for BLM and NFS land, but imagine an "access" layer that was something like "public free access", public access with admission fee, private but open to the public (like retail), and private.
It seems like you might be neglecting repulsive forces that would alter the trajectories as pressures increased far below those necessary for fusion. In short, it’s hard to see how your device would fuse anything; you’d need some way to constrict everything or it wouldn’t collapse so neatly in each cycle. That constriction would have to be magnetic, require a ton of energy and modeling to solve, and... then you’re in the same hole as every other fusion researcher, except you have a weird geometry that hasn’t been studied and isn’t efficient.

Sorry.
Smart decision to change his name, surprised more criminals don't do that once they are released.
I wonder if this varies based on location / version? I just tried Maps on iOS 12.0.1 and it appears to do exactly this, at least in San Francisco. Every time I zoom in on a street, the label fades in right at the center, like you suggest.
Thank you. Down voters just did me a huge favor. I'm done contributing here.

Inc-Query | Operations | Full-time | Chicago or REMOTE (US time zones only) | https://inc-query.com

Bootstrapped, profitable, very rapidly growing B2B tech company. We program surveys insanely fast for private equity and management consulting clients. I (the founder) am looking for someone to help support the crazy growth and do some of the "things that don't scale." (Mostly helping clients with their surveys and dealing with partners)

Ideal background is a mix of business knowledge and programming experience, though the role is flexible if you're more of one or the other. This is a great opportunity to learn more about PE and consulting if you're coming from a tech background or learn more about tech if you're coming from a business background.

> This rant is a bit outdated. These days, we don't assume the user is stupid.

Quite the opposite. Compare a modern WIMP GUI (say Windows, OS X or a widely used GNU/Linux desktop environment) with a modern smartphone GUI (say Android or iOS).
You won't use this to model your web application, but the core logic. Usually it's really important that this core logic doesn't break.

Imagine something like twitter, why would you model it? Once you start thinking of having N servers, and you have to deal with caches, and consistence of message then it might make sense to model it to make sure that tweets get to the right users, are not lost and duplicates don't happen. You are not exactly modeling the web or mobile application but the "system". At the end of the day, your goal is a logically sound system. So figure out what will make your web application non-logically, if it's going to provide a terrible experience and it's hard to reason, then you might want to model it.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say 100x cheaper. Googling “LEO satellite antenna” will result in plenty of hits that are well below $2000. As I said before, the $20 price point was for manufacturing of the antenna itself (micro strip antennas are very cheap, materials-wise) and so do not include any of the other auxiliary systems needed such as a radio transmitter, an amplifier, etc, although for LEO you dont need to shout very loud to be heard by the satellites.
> I can't imagine how a government education program could hope to achieve equality in outcome in the face of education-aware and education-prioritizing parents spending far more time and working with their children outside of school on enrichment activities that improve educational outcomes.

Identify children without such parents and provide them and their parents with additional support; it's expensive, but it's the obvious and likely only way to narrow the gap more than trivially, and probably better than many things that schools are fruitlessly expending resources on.
I think the improvement goes beyond greenery information, although the latter is the most obvious. If looking carefully, one can also spot a significant improvement regarding water surfaces. Those are useful reference points. Granted, they are often outside of where people are living, but this is part of a process making the map more accurate and probably more automated than before, which is a laudable thing. In my opinion the new map is also more pleasant to the eye and all in all, I would rather use it over the old one.
I don't really have much of a preference TBH. That slightly less action actually translates into a bit less work... my touch lightens and my fingers move less. I don't think I could live with the 1st gen used on the original 12" Macbooks though.
A step in the right direction, but it's not quite there yet. From the article

> It would still require individuals to bring their cases before the Supreme Court before the judges can rule whether their case is constitutional, which is still a little different to having the absolute freedom to consume marijuana across the country.

It's also non-commercial use, which makes me think that the situation would be akin to Washington D.C. where it's legal to consume it, but not to sell it.
True, but that DOS and Win95 weren't separate products.
I've looked at funding. I've talked to people in the field. There does not appear to be any money available from any source to fund any fusion projects other than Tokamaks or similar devices.

Tokamaks by the way, were invented by an outsider with no previous domain knowledge...
Most engineers care about equity potential. You don't make it in the Valley on base salary alone.
I think we're talking past each other here (I understand what CDA 230 is supposed to do, I'm referring to how its been used/interpreted).

Edit: the section re: 230 is towards the end.

Frontline just covered some of this with respect to FB, also.
I once flew on a 767 with 6 passengers. The flight had been canceled due to snow but was able to make it out and obviously the airline wanted the plane at its destination for the next day.
Less than a decade by far.

It was already in wide spread use amongst the small dial-up ISPs by 1995.
Good intro: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16956778
In my opinion (which is not shared by many these days) understanding things at a reasonably low level is critical, I firmly believe that makes you a better programmer, even if you end up doing frontend development.

My experience with the kernel has always been mostly tangential, typically a byproduct of what I do day to day, which is working at a SaaS startup at scale and wearing many hats, from backend development (Java/C++) to infrastructure management. As I find performance problems, many times I find myself digging into the kernel code and exploring parts of the networking stack (e.g. finding out the specific behavior of a socket option), virtual memory management (e.g. finding out some quirks about the page fault management system), ...

Sometimes that leads to some small kernel patches and I've done several during the years, so that's typically my limit. The v4l driver I mentioned above was 6-7 years ago when I was in college and took a part time job working on that with a very talented team.

Apparently FAANG likes those kind of background, especially if you can get into a more SRE-type role where they are actually not looking to quiz you only on dynamic programming algorithms, but also on your ability to reason with system design, low level systems and performance, at least that's my experience.
No, but Android does use a different microkernel (LK) as it's bootloader.

It's also likely that Google will replace Linux on Android with Fuschia, yet another microkernel OS, derived from LK.
I like it. If you would like to share any insights in how you've built this, I'm quite curious. Perhaps it goes without saying, but if you prefer not to say for whatever reason, then I respect that.
I was hoping this would work on the "Regional Indicator Symbols" used for flag emoji, since they encode the same country codes used in ccTLDs.

🇩🇪 is actually two Unicode code points 🇩 (U+1F1E9 'REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER D') 🇪 (U+1F1EA 'REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER E') that fonts display as a single flag grapheme. But google.🇩🇪 becomes the Punycode google.xn--h77hc and fails to resolve rather than mapping to ASCII as these other characters do.
There is only one medicine in the past 100 years that cured a chronic illness besides penicillin and its derivatives. That medicine was developed by a small biotech company named Pharmasset and bought by Gilead.

So to answer your question, one might say that 100% of medicines that are not addictive pills to treat symptoms were developed by startups.

To be fair, a lot of the addictive pills to treat symptoms were also developed by startups.
As someone who has used chromium incognito as a crutch, 100% this.

Browsers need to be seriously redesigned with privacy (aka security) in mind. The javascript execution environment needs to be gutted to remove security leaks like screen/window size. And incompetently (/maliciously) designed APIs like websockets need to be thrown right out.

Its part of city life. I lived across the street from a fire house. On one corner was a bar and laundrymat. Up the street was a taqueria, body shop and corner store - a block over was EFF. Behind, an artifact of the neighborhood’s blue collar past was a metal fab shop. The rhymic cur-chunk of the punch presses often put me to sleep on a saturday afternoon only to be startled awake by sirens.

At the time it suited me fine. It is clear to me though that we still need suburbs. For some at certain points in their life they need the quiet. We have too suburbs though. I think many folks could live in denser environs.

Its backwards that cities are more expensive than suburbs. Density should lower costs. High populations should lower costs. There should be both economies of scale and network effects. I think, to the writers point, we regulate the wrong things.
Any Engineering positions REMOTE?
As long as you understand how `const` works in JS, I don't see it as in impediment.

const x = {};
x.foo = "bar";

is not that confusing, because you aren't re-assigning x, you're mutating its data. Maybe `fixed` would have been a better name for it (like a vector that doesn't change direction but can change magnitude) if people think `const` should mean immutable.
You might create a TLA model during the initial specification process to assist you in thinking through your problem. You would then update the model going forward as your understanding of the domain improved and as system
requirements changed. However, you could write a specification for an existing system as well. Any processing where the complexity seems greater than ones reasoning ability or that needs assurance guarantees, could signal the need for a high level description to guide engineering efforts.

An initial model might take 4 hours to put in place. The time would be spent thinking through how best to abstract the modeled process and its logical properties, slowly building up a more and more complete set of events, and checking the model by running it as one goes. With an initial model, additional hours would probably be spent here and there
adding enhancements and finding ways to do things better, just like one would do with regular code. The model would effectively exist over the lifetime of a corresponding code artifact and guide work on the artifact.

For a standard web application that mostly does reads and writes to a database, there usually wouldn't be any need for a tool like TLA to help you reason. A general use case for TLA is describing systems where there are multiple processes or threads coordinating on some sort of shared state.There would be indeterminacy in the order in which events happen. There could be the possibility of failure and the need to handle it gracefully.
Do you have a main audience (i.e. age range, field of work) you're shooting for? What do you care about seeing in the news? How do you discern between truly good news and 'puff pieces'?

One thing I've actually liked is the approach of organizing news of the sad with the good. Deregulation nation ( https://deregulationnation.substack.com/welcome ) is an example where the newletters are organized by bad/better/good/great - it's focused around a core topic (environment/Trump) and written by hand.
>>But oh man were the greyhound staff ever rude

I personally saw this behavior in greyhound lines, and it wasn't even an outlier, it seemed to be the modus operandi. I thought it was horrible at the time and made me never want to ride the bus again. In fact, I avoided it as best I could.
I guess that means the small dial-up ISPs started appearing before 1994 and ended up choosing Linux.
Step in the right direction. It's legal in Canada and I can report that society hasn't crumpled (nothing's really changed honestly).
Savers can choose to loan their currency to a bank for some guaranteed returns, they can loan it to corporations and public institutions in the form of bonds, or they can purchase ownership of real estate and businesses through equities. They can buy bitcoin if they consider it a wise investment. Only lenders and the people who insist on hoarding cash suffer from inflation.

Historically deflation has resulted in economic stagnation and depression. The reason is that there is no incentive to borrow or spend money on a risky investment when increasing value of currency over time is guaranteed. What exactly is supposed to be different this time?
