How can a science-centric site get it so wrong?
Honestly I find the arguments about dropping standards of living unconvincing. What do we need all these energy for? Mining bitcoins? Powering online ads? After I stopped driving car every day my standard of living has only gone up. I am sure stricter limits on energy consumption will only unleash untapped creativity and spawn the whole new industries and create tons of new jobs.
PLAs lower melting point is the issue. I only print PLA, mainly because it's less toxic, but I dare not print a part that might end up in a hot car, near a heating source or outside.
Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear in my previous post.

We use Anki to learn foreign vocabulary, not music. My daughter really enjoys those 'quiz'. Besides she has normal classes with teacher.

We have also piano lessons with teacher. I'm looking for some software here to improve/encourage piano learning.
Why isn’t there a “premium” commercial Internet, similar to DOD NIPRnet, for b2b stuff and for communications to vetted infrastructure? A random business on the Internet (eyeball, not servers) cares a lot more about routes to AWS and Google than to a bunch of other eyeballs, particularly in foreign countries.

You would still want full connectivity, but when things went wrong I could lose connectivity to a Nigerian ISP without critical business risk, but losing access to Google sucks. You could largely accomplish this by prefixing the hell out of everything except the “special” connection, and ensuring DDoS and other security filtering could drop the entire normal network if needed without affecting internal or special.
You need that your adversary can't snoop your DNS queries (which DoH and other DPRIVE offerings provide) and if the adversary is active you also need DNSSEC with validation so that the adversary can't lie to your DNS provider and say eSNI isn't available.

I’m a licensed pilot. I remain skeptical of your argument.

There’s no question that staying on top of a complex flight has a heavy mental load. But I’m not convinced radio is the problem.

The information has to be conveyed somehow. Having humans at every step is a clear sanity check.

Either you cut humans out of the job of decision making and have computers make decisions, which introduces all sorts of new issues, or you have to give humans information and context.

And as long as humans are in charge, humans talking to other humans is underrated as a means of getting a lot of information across quickly and effectively.
...which begs the question, what is the point of a Ted talk about success stories if they're really just stories of being lucky without admitting that fact?

It's a nice bedtime story, yeah, but people look at this crap for inspiration and guidance. "I want to be like that guy" except nothing in the story can be replicated to recreate the same outcome.

EDIT: Is "envy porn" a phrase yet?
I am not sure BF5 relates to this at all. It seems like many people were under the impression DICE was involving "gender politics" into a video game even though women would have definitely been involved in the setting. The ones outraged by it, in my opinion, just wanted to be outraged by it instead of having a good reasoning behind it. The gaming industry also has a lot more artistic freedom in taking jabs at the political here and now.

Haha, you don't have to convince me that NYC is a good choice for Amazon.

I've had some success with a cheapo ergonomic mouse that doesn't require you to twist your wrist so your palm is face down. The more expensive options were often right-handed only. It didn't work on a bare tabletop as your hand and pinky tends to stick and drag on such a surface, but after buying a massive gaming style mouse mat, I was able to use it ("Ergonomic Mouse Left Hand, Jelly Comb")

I don't think people would care about a bit of destruction. In fact I think people crave it as long as its at a good safe distance like on the telly.

Maybe every one in the world should be made to witness and feel the heat an atomic bomb in real life to make it feel more real.

I think a more realistic solution would be something like in the star trek episode "A taste of Armageddon". Instead of fighting a real war they fight a virtual one. A computer randomly selects the people to die every day as part of the death toll of the "war".

It is absolutely feasible. I do it. My wife does it. There are alternatives for almost everything, you just have to look and spend a bit of time researching. Sometimes you have to order products on the Internet instead of getting them in your local supermarket.

Also, if a product just mentions "vegetable fat" it's more than likely palm.

How do neural nets approximate a Bayesian posterior? Not snark, would really like some references if possible.

On the major point, while I agree with you, its much nicer to be able to show the "top" variables from a model, which is doable from logreg and forests, but is much, much, much more difficult from a neural net perspective.

Additionally, as they tend to take longer to train, its harder to iterate with them, and as they fit so very many parameters, I'm generally pretty sceptical as to their generalisability. That being said, in some tests I've run I've been pleasantly surprised at their performance.
I'm looking at this as well. I'm confused about the word `figure` here. It looks like it's a keyword for this new type of pattern matching switch. but the word `figure` itself seems unneeded.
Dry air is only bad in dry climates. Im in the pacific northwest, a literal rain forest. Moisture is constant. We want that dry air to keep the house free of mold. And it can do a gew things steam cannot, such as move air around without adding heat, a great form of air conditioning without actual AC.
It’s not a real VPN from what I think of a VPN in that my IP is still from my ISP (checked at whatismyip.com) just the DNS requests are encrypted. Still cool though.
It seems to me that this can be applied in a broader way, for example to verify invariants.

Sooo... paint me stupid but I find the title completely misleading and another, very, VERY annoying thing caught my eye - after reading the text, I caught myself repeating the word "thousandeyes" and it annoyed me to no end. Then I re-read the text and I found that you can kick that word out of every 2nd paragraph and the text would still have merit.

Is this yet another marketing ploy where you post something with purposely-misleading title in order to attract traffic? I don't like the fact that word "thousandeyes" got stuck in my head, nor do I like the fact that I got clickbaited. This one is going to my list of "just like every other site since 2015, don't click".
This article from 2013 outlines the differences quite nicely. It's a subtle point (that I hadn't appreciated before reading the article), but trim on a Cessna (on which many pilots learn) and modern jet work quite differently, though you rarely ever notice the difference in normal ops (because you never go massively out of trim). The author speculates that several accidents might be attributable to this.

Do you really understand how your trim works? Many do not, and why it matters. Alex Fisher - GAPAN

And what a glorious, joyous life it was! I'm proud of having been a software pirate. It was a great time, especially if one was a computer enthusiast like I was. 1987 on a Commodore64. If you were into computers, probably the only other place better than that was on UNIX, but no teenager in Europe heard of UNIX until the mid '90's, and then we went straight onto Sun Microsystems Solaris. 1993 and the first machine was a SPARCStation 20 with 256 MB of RAM, four processors and 40 GB of disk. We were so very, very fortunate.

And then came the Amiga (after Commodore64, but before Suns). If the atmosphere was phenomenal before, the joy now became stratospheric with what we could do on that machine. Sun systems were of course on a whole new plane of existence compared to the Amiga we knew and loved.

Well, my point was just that it begs the question. If Bitcoin is fraud, then BCC is fraud. If BCC is fraud then BTC is fraud.

So you are left with the task of proving that Bitcoin is fraud in and of itself, rather than on the basis of circular argument.

This is true, and Im not in support of wholesale surveillance with out reasonable cause and the associated court documents.

In Australia Cadbury decided to remove palm oil from their plain dairy milk blocks in reaction to outrage caused by talk-back radio. Sadly the outrage wasn't about environmental devestation, but palm oil related health concerns.
Hi! I created the post. Will answer your points below:

- There was no editor, or more precisely, I was the editor. What you are addressing is interesting. The two proofreaders, both grammatical and the technical work directly on the ".Rmd" (r markdown).
I had to explain -in the grammatical case- "what to change" and what "not to change" about the markdown syntaxes. Even more, if you are working with R package bookdown, you can correct some figure captions, text links, and so on... all of this is r markdown syntax; the proofreader had to change with caution all of this.

- You are right about you don't need an ISBN to publish on gumroad. Just for Amazon (or other publishers).

Ok, so for the rest of us that require precision, the mouse still exists.
If the extremely slippery slope of this idea is not immediately obvious to you, then I don't even know what to say.

With 140 employees and assuming equal distribution of the 75% I believe they were giving out, it's around .5% ownership or 1/200. Not huge, but at a $100M buyout offer (didn't they have $25M in sales, and growing?), we're talking $500k a head. Even at a $25M buyout, its $125k a head. That type of money is enough for a middle-class family to usually succumb.
No mention of the TURBO 250 loader that dominated my childhood.

I'm actually too young for the C64 but we didn't have much money so my big brother left it for me when he moved out.

So when my friends had SNES I had C64, when they had Playstation I had SNES, and so on until I started making my own money in IT.

Anyways, I still have all my old tapes left from those days. All TURBO 250, all pirated.
True, but the suggestions are so conservative that anytime they pop up, it's a sign that I'm being too wordy. A familiar five word phrase might be easier for the reader than an unfamiliar phrase of equal length, but no words at all is even easier. I've consistently found that, when a suggestion pops up, I can safely drop most of the sentence without denting clarity. It's like spell-checking for semantics.
Something similar happened in the past: Scandinavian Air 751 (MD-81 with twin engine aft-mounted) had both engine surged due to ice ingestion shortly after takeoff. Pilots were not aware of auto throttle control, which revert pilots’ action of reducing throttle (to fix the engine surging). Both engines ultimately failed and aircraft crash landed. Luckily all survived.

Yes, the whole thing is multi-site capable. We also relaunched https://www.forummatrix.org using the same code. We have a couple of other sites that are still waiting to get the relaunch.

We also have a few ideas for other topics, but starting a new site requires a lot of initial research, so it's nothing we can do lightly.
I don't think Google has control over peering agreements. The way I understand it, ISPs/backbone providers would have to decide to drop peers from their BGP configs. Outside of calling up ISPs, I'm not sure what Google should have done differently, if anything.

edit/minor correction: I guess they'd have control over peering agreements for initial hops for Google Fiber users, but that wouldn't have resolved the issue in this case, either, unless they stopped peering with other huge providers like NTT. Even then, it'd only help their subscribers.
What the article points out as notable is the price.

I agree sap they probably have a reason why they want to buy this company, even at this price. But, the question is, why is the price so high? ...more about the market than the buyer's needs.

Even if you are willing to buy potatoes for £10/kg because of a special recipe, it still begs the question of why you had to.
Xi's apparent desire to become president for life is certainly a liability, but other than that, China comes across as being quite stable.
Well, I think that the Chinese are right that something must be done about the problem of radical Islam. Somehow like that Allies had to do the De-Nazification after World War 2. But the methods applied seem to be contra-productive.
> Sadly, all this literature and memorial diaries are in Punjabi vernacular. Hopefully as new generation grows up, more of these stories will surface in English language. Also, there is marked difference between reporting of same story in Punjabi newspaper and in English newspaper of the same newspaper group: Punjabi newspaper of the same group reports situation more accurately while English newspaper biases it against the Sikhs and even edits direct quotes. So hopefully these stories will surface in either western sources or independent media with correct editing procedure and relevant checks.

What is preventing you from doing at least the rough draft? That sounds like a very interesting story, and I'd be willing to pay something to help bring it faithfully to the English language.

Why? BGP has always been insecure and repeating that fact doesn't make it any less so.
Ethics committees generally do not turn down research because they think it's a bad idea, but because the processes in place to protect the subject are sub-standard. In the example linked, that would probably be a heavy-duty human subject study subject to rigorous controls. An MA student has perhaps six months to research, write up and hand in, which (together with being an inexperienced researcher) would certainly raise warning flags.

Also, Bath Spa University is a relatively small, relatively new university with a less established research tradition than most of the UK's universities. It wouldn't surprise me if its ethics committees were less confident too.

None of which is to say that the student isn't right, just that we currently only have his word for it and the university is quite correctly saying nothing. But I'm pretty sceptical.
Since each city is only receiving half the benefit they thought they were bidding on, presumably they’ll each get to cut their bids in half — the subsidies, tax abatements, infrastructure spending promises, etc.? But I haven’t seen any notice of this in the news coverage.

It would seem there's an obvious startup opportunity for filaments that are sold based on cleanliness of product rather than the current marketplace of pigment and cost.

It would seem trivial to distill out the dioxane to an unreasonably low impurity level.

As with pharma, people may not like the cost of synthetic pure bespoke molecules, but some will sell.
An SDE 2 isn't really a senior software engineer role, that would be SDE3, where many of which make closer to 300k.
It seems like a weak settlement to me but, especially combined with the recent google walkout getting some of its demands, this will go a long way to encouraging union enthusiasm and organizing work among developers. Pretty good news on the whole.
Super valid concern. I imagine it will raise the price considerably and there will be 'safe!' 3d printers that cost a ton because they've been certified and have filaments and suction/vacuum/air pushing systems that have been tested and show no ill effects towards humans. It seems inevitable, but I'd imagine price will come down in a while as things scale.

It also does open the door for someone to come in and make a vent/hood system that works for many types of 3d printers so I guess there's that...

Also, I'm with you with the recommendations :P It was just a funny image I found on the internet and shared to produce some laughs...

I use a lot of comparisons alongside the book, especially from the "technical to the real world".

I would love to see an example of this. Software-gore.
Would anyone care to comment on the technology that makes the recognition and surveillance possible? If we supply "back doors" to the ChiCom so that they allow our tech to be distributed in China, are we less complicit than the guards?
I'm not making much of a 'technical' argument for the rules as written but more one of convenience - I think what im getting at here is that while the act of union means that its a single kingdom, its relatively useless to suggest that she is not the queen of england because the title that gives her that power also gives her more power over other areas, when she also has more power than that title alone gives her - that line of thinking almost seems to lead to the idea that it would be wrong to suggest any specific title without listing every single one?

Something along the lines of the following:
If somebody asks me "who is the queen of scotland" I would answer the question - I assume that the asker is not asking about a specific title that was removed in 1707 but instead they want to inquire about the current monarch that holds control over that territory

I mean of course my thought process here is a bit rambly but I think you get where im going.
