This sounds like exactly the attitude that Pixar bet against and won, as described in Lawrence Levy's book[1]. At the time it was thought that animation from anyone other than Disney had no goodwill attached to it.

Pixar was able to disprove that with their franchises and I think the same is true for Aardman with Wallace & Grommet and the spin off Shaun the Sheep series.

Aardman have a look to their work that people know and love.

Much easier would be to install a router with OpenWRT, set a DNS server (that your DHCP points to) and look at the logs. Or even running Wireshark in your own network should do the trick.

As long the DNS requests are not encrypt, you should got the information you want.
I think it makes sense because SAP is focussed on operations management (inherently inside your business) and Qualtrics is focussed on whats happening outside your business.

If you marry the two in an integrated way you cover the entire chain from "raw supplies in from this supplier through to customer not happy about quality of material from that supplier".

So while on it's own Qualtrics might not be worth 8bn to anyone else it might well be worth 8bn to SAP.

> However, that's not part of the popular narrative of WW1

That's just nonsense. The involvement and sacrifice of Commonwealth troops has always been a significant part of the history and memorial of WW1. In fact, there's a strong argument that WW1 gave some Commonwealth countries a casting role on the world stage that they lacked prior to the war.

What isn't often acknowledged is that WW1 was a racist endeavour as this article is stating. And that's primarily because it's a ridiculous assertion. Race had nothing to do with it.
Interesting! Actually my dream would be to make a system deployable by a fleet of drones. Rovers are actually complex to move, especially in an uncontrolled environment with lots of plants.

I don't think any rice farmer would like to put concrete blocks in their fields unless every task is reliably automated: they depend on machines to prepare, plant and harvest the rice and a stone in the middle of a ricefield would make these steps harder.

I know that there are several projects using wirebots for 3d printing. It usually allows for a bigger printing volume than regular CNC-like designs, and I think they must be able to have a high precision too. I am wondering what is the limitation there.
Google does the same thing, and it even leaves out words if it believe that is won't give you (enough?) results.

Here's a starter for 10:

Interestingly the figure quoted here is half rather than 60%, and it seems the EU want to phase it out entirely, which might explain Greenpeace's "targeting of food companies" and relative lack of apparent interest in biofuels (assuming that's a thing).
A good and timely article. I do feel that in Britain today as the generation that was personally involved in the war die out the "remembrance" necessarily transmutes to mythology, and some of the mythology is extremely harmful. Are we remembering some at the cost of others?

Not to mention using it as a pretext to fuel the kind of nationalism that drove both wars and colonialism in the first place.

I hadn't realised that the bombing in Iraq was done by the same controversial "Bomber" Harris!

Or, if we take the broader view and step outside the European theatre, is the war actually really past? There's still gunfire across the Sykes-Picot line.
That doesn't match my experience - while I was using Vodafone Germany in France, my IP was German. Someone else on EE had a UK IP.
> I don't like that one keep talking about the whole west as one unit and tainting everybody

Best refrain from reading the Guardian, it's what they do best. Despite the fact that nobody alive today had anything to do at all with the horrors from our colonial pasts.

> Africa or India would not be as modern rich or developed today as by magic if Europeans had never set their feet on shore

Greenpeace has been targeting non-sustainable practices in biofuel production - and the ill thought out legislation that led to this for at least the last 10 years, so it is factually incorrect to say that they have been 'staying silent'.

Palm oil for biofuel/heating constitutes 55% of palm oil imports, but food and feedstock usage accounts for 40-45%, so it's still a significant area of use

Understandably a campaign in this particular area is going to be more visible to the end consumer because of the companies that it targets.

And everything is political.
That is just wrong. Just take WW2, you have dictatorships on both sides (e.g Germany and USSR) and democracies on both sides (eg. the US and Finland). In WW1 you have monarchies on both sides and various levels of representative governments on both sides. In the cold war you have monarchies on the same side as democracies, and dictatorships and oligarchies on both sides.
Scrum isn't the only offender. By-the-book XP is pretty rigid about some things, too (collective ownership and pairing in particular).

Agree that the consulting/certification industry makes things worse. Again, that overlaps with the signatories for the original manifesto.
Seems to me that the more we sharpen our mental and methodological tools (in all areas of human inquiry), the weirder and more interesting things become.

Shit's messy, yo!
Obviously I'm in favour of reducing warhead counts.

That said I don't think your analogy holds with pre and post nuclear powers.

The escalation in WW1 was complex but from the british side we just expected it to be a short war, we'd nip over there achieve our objectives and be home for Christmas (that was actually said at the time iirc).

Escalation between states with large nuclear arsenals would likely follow a very different path.

I mean the UK is a minor nuclear power but if everyone went collectively insane we could wreck most of western Europe and the US, I mean we'd all be dead minutes later but when you have that kind of capability on the table and more crucially when the people you are firing on have that kind of capability then the "it'll all be over by Christmas" line takes on a much more macabre undertone to those giving the orders.

Belgium didn't have a chance to do much actual fighting, in both wars it was conquered almost immediately.

Belgium would also rather not talk about its period of colonial genocide.
Yeah, I understood you were talking about the Siege of Baghdad. If you think that the destruction of a single city is the reason for the middle east lagging behind the west over several centuries, then I reiterate what I said before, you have an extremely simplistic view of history. I don't consider myself particularly eurocentric, but you seem to be a middle eastern chauvinist. Projection, maybe?

Where did I deny that Europeans built on previous advances by other people? It's obvious they didn't exist in a vacuum. But europeans were the first to systematize the production and diffusion of knowledge. In a sense they invented what you could call the mass intellectual tradition.
I think it would be a huge loss. I couldn't live without the educational content on Youtube. Sure, they could move it elsewhere. But, Youtube has enabled this network to thrive. It's the single biggest library of visual edu content. Channels like Ted-Ed,Crash Course, Physics Girl,Vsauce, Engineering Explained, Khan Acad, MITOCW, a16z, freecodecamp, 3blue1brown,asapScience, SciShow,Computerphile,Numberphile,Hak5,LiveOverflow, How stuffworks, Jacob Clifford, Derek Banas, sentdex,Corey Schafer,Minute physics,Tinkernut, Tom Scott, Y Combinator, oh and 2 Minute Papers.

Youtube bascially played a major role in democratizing creation of content :educational, creative etc.
And by the way, it's still not clear how much profit YT makes. The infra costs etc are huge. It's Google's $$$ which subsidizes YT content. personally, when I see the amount of value I am deriving, I think I owe a decent amount of money to YT. I am a student right now, but will start giving creators money asap.

Of course, it would have been better if Youtube had started their Donate option sooner. I think they have failed to creatively monetize users and compensate creators. (i know about ads, not creative,but it works)
It's been an incredibly astute comms strategy from Greenpeace. They made this film, then did a deal with Iceland (who were keen to reposition themselves as a supermarket with green credentials). Both parties admitted they knew it would be "bannned" by Clearcast. Greenpeace are now riding the inevitable public outrage by drip releasing their palm oil research to put huge public pressure on big brands. It's very impressive.

If you're using Firefox you can set up a user chrome file - https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html - and include this:

html, body { overflow: visible !important }

Most sites that disable scrolling like that have just put overflow: hidden on the html or body element.

To do the same thing in Chrome you can use a custom CSS extension. The thing I don't like about that is that you have to give the extension carte blanche in terms of permissions, and I don't trust that the extension won't be sold to a bad actor.
Ask HN: Anyone else pissed off by GitHub‘s spam mails?
Again. Five mails where I (th) „was mentioned“. Because someone sent a pull request to some project that includes a function call to „r_th_lock_free“.

Then all those people inviting strangers to their organizations and projects.

GitHub could easily curb this by (1) not triggering on substrings anywhere in code/issues/etc. (there is a @th notation that would suffice) and (2) only sending project notifications to users that are part of the project, have starred a project or have participated in a project‘s issues.

GitHub‘s support simply doesn‘t care — or loves that people are reminded of them.

May they go bankrupt.
IP Geolocation Through Reverse DNS
Yeah, but no.

A VCR was pretty much ubiquitous. A home computer was not, in most part not because of cost but because of not being able to see the point. Smartphones are more expensive than they've ever been. If you buy cheapo you're buying something a few years old and terrible.

There was no lack of them in other countries, what has changed is the number of countries able to afford consumerism at all.

Are you comparing like with like? No. The hundreds of millions of people worldwide buying cheap are NOT buying Apple or Sony either, are they? They're buying the brands that aren't even in first world countries.
I don't think that either, but you're not making a very good argument. To counter that European influence was important for the development of former colonies you say that foreign influence was crucial to the development of Europe. To me that sounds like you support the idea that outside influence can be of critical importance.
Fair Use is an American concept. Even so, YouTube already routinely mutes videos that contain background music.

No, "cargo cult" means imitating someone's activities that lead to a certain outcome, without understanding why did that work and why it might not work for someone else. In fact, to be precise, imitating the perceived activities: your coconut headphones might look like what that US army guy had on his head, but they don't have the whole technical and human infrastructure behind them; or, your Web search page might look exactly like Google's, but it won't produce similar results by itself.
To be fair, NYC density statistics are skewed by Staten Island, which is large, suburban (by NYC metro region standards) in development patterns, and peripheral to the city in many ways. If you stick to the other four boroughs, my understanding is that it’s far and away the densest in the hemisphere.
ThousandEyes posted some technical details on this incident:

https://blog.thousandeyes.com/internet-vulnerability-takes-d...
The manufacturer gives airlines training, SOP's, manuals, etc. All the failures that occurred on previous flights were fixed according to the requirements set forth by Boeing.

This happens every single day on thousands of aircraft worldwide. Problems show up, the engineers fix them, and the aircraft are returned to service.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting should happen... if you want Boeing to sign-off every pitot-tube cleaning or AoA sensor replacement, most planes would be grounded waiting for Boeing to show up.

No the blockchain size hasn't reached 1TB yet and doesn't seem that close at ~51GB at the moment. http://didtheethereumblockchainreach1tbyet.5chdn.co/

I'm happy to discuss in detail if there's interest, but essentially the misconception is that all previous states need to be kept. Ethereum uses the blockchain as a state machine where each block is a state transition and the current view of state (world state) is kept as a piece of data connected with an account.

I'm a professor in pure mathematics (at a university with a Ph.D. program), in the United States. I'm a little bit biased, since I went through the system, but that said --

> Would that basically be the equivalent of what a PhD is supposed to signal?

Signal to whom? Probably not, in my estimation, but maybe -- it depends on what you're attempting to accomplish.

Enrolling in a formal, traditional Ph.D. program has lots of benefits; getting to work under a mentor is only one of them. Perhaps the most significant is that you become part of a network of peers: you surround yourself with people whom you can bounce ideas off of. Also, there will generally be lots of visitors passing through, with lectures and opportunities to go out to dinner with the speakers afterwards -- also invaluable learning perspectives.

Unfortunately interdiscplinarity is a difficult thing: most faculty only know their own discipline. (University administrators love interdisciplinary research, but impressing them is irrelevant before you have a tenure-track position.)

> and publish a few noteworthy papers

Noteworthy to whom?

It sounds like you want to pioneer a new research area that nobody works on. Would you be satisfied to do work that, in some abstract sense, is worthy of taking note of? Or is it important to you that other people actually notice? If the latter, then you almost certainly want the backing of an advisor and of an institution.

In general, professors tend to appreciate students who take the initiative and seek out their own research projects. Depending on your long-term goals, I would recommend seeking out professors who work in one of the topics you mentioned, and depending on their response, consider enrolling in their Ph.D. programs.

Best of luck!
Sweden (as it used to be).

By "populist nationalists" I mean what they really are, not necessarily what they call themselves. The Swedish Social Democrats of old are a good example who in practice created a national welfare state, often even with explicitly nationalist rhetoric.
It wasn't the English empire it was the British Empire.

Sony themselves were perhaps. There were plenty lower down the market made in Japan brands though, such as Aiwa, Akai, Sharp and dozens of others.

A TV was a cheap almost commodity thing when CRT based by the 80s. Only the arrival of widescreen CRT and flat screens that pushed the prices into the absurd. I imagine the 60s and 70s was the era for TV prices to be dropping.

Sure there's been a little inflation and price rises too. Overall the switch to China hasn't benefited first world consumers from price benefits from the brands. The price benefits have been in places like Primark with a £1 T shirt and the unknown brands on Amazon marketplace. A pair of Levis or an Apple device is just as "for the affluent" as they've ever been. Often more so, despite manufacture moving somewhere cheap.
As others have replied already, it does, depending on which solution you pick out of the list. I'm a happy user of this app, no affiliation at all in case someone was wondering.

that presumes something like 'time teleportation'. Time travel based on changing / reversing your 'speed of time' doesn't have that.

Kind of like the difference between wormhole based FTL and warp drive based FTL. In one, you just teleport, in the other, you still travel in a continuous line.

I use to believe this bs. I thought people who took vacations were slackers and people who left the office before I did were lazy.
