I don't understand what you mean. It doesn't actually matter what shape the distribution takes. That figure is derived entirely from what the "median" means, i.e. a random sample has 50% chance of being greater than the median, and 50% chance of being lower than it.

A bit of maths would show that the probability that all 5 samples lie entirely above or entirely below the median (i.e. the median is NOT between the greatest and the smallest value) is 1/16. That gives you a 15/16 (= 93.75%) chance that the median is contained within the bounds.
4k high refresh rate monitors are prohibitively expensive anyway. From my experience a lot of games hit decent framerates at 4k already using last generation cards (GTX 1080/Vega 64).

I believe high framerate monitors are a niche market with a lot of hype but not a lot of buyers.

Is this legal?

Here in Germany, after having terminated business relations with an organization, you can force them to delete all personal data they hold about you unless they are required to hold the data for legal compliance reasons.

(And before you say that's because of GDPR, it's actually been like this for as long as I can remember, so at least 20 years. GDPR mostly just standardized existing laws and added some potentially hefty fines to make it harder for international corporations to ignore them.)
Mark Zuckerberg, missing in inaction
The Fedora package is being built by exactly the same guy (Martin Stransky from Redhat), who works on implementing Wayland into Firefox.

It is not for the first time, that Fedora package had something enabled before the upstream package did: CSDs went the same way.
I'd say that what you get out of these pieces is what you're willing to put in. For example with this HBR article (which is pretty good) there are some actions you could take and if you wrote them down, re-read the piece periodically and practised its recommendations then sure you'll get a lot out of it.

Some of those '10 habits of successful CEOs' fluff pieces don't really have many actionable insights so you're not going to get much out of them no matter how hard you try. But a good book like 7 Habits, GTD, Richest Man In Babylon, etc. - you re-read those and study even one and you'll probably get a lot.

EBook: Cyber as a Business Enabler – Operationalizing Cyber Risk Analytics
> There might be a race between the recognition software and the circumvention technology

I wanna see someone successfully circumvent scent-based tracking. A dog has a sense of smell a million times more sensitive than a human and can track people over miles, even when a trail is days old. Imagine a network of 100,000 passive scent trackers as sensitive as dog noses, hooked up to the same centralized AI and recognition system.

With a single high-confidence hit, they can localize you. If you're on foot, you're not getting very far in any reasonable time frame.

We don't stand a chance. Sitting ducks, as it were.

You just better hope to God (or the AI, apparently) you're never a target of this system, inadvertently or intentionally, because that race is over, and humans lost.

The ASP at least for a long time took a hard line against crippling whether by feature or time limiting. After I moved on (and retail software started offering demos, open source became widespread, etc.) shareware evolved into the sort of crippleware, adware, etc. that you still see in some corners of the software world today.
I used to believe that but eventually I became worn down by it all. You get so many "opportunities" presented to you that don't turn into anything that you have to take most of it with a pinch of salt.

Every UI presents an opinion. In many cases, that opinion is unclear, muddled, or counterintuitive. As developers and designers pay more attention to the UX, that opinion becomes more clear and unilateral. In the end, the decision to like a piece of software or website depends on how well your expectations align with the opinion that the UI expresses.

If you feel manipulated, it means that you did not want to do something, but the UI expressed its opinion in a way that was strong enough for you to notice it.

If the UI expresses its opinion in a way that aligns with your intentions, it gets called easy-to-use, unobtrussive, frictionless, and other nice-to-hear words.

You really hit me right there, I've genuinely considered things like microdosing and nootropics in technology, but derided the old fashioned version of the same thing happening in business spaces as if taking drugs to get more work done is somehow better if the drugs are more trendy.

What's the "logical basis" for concluding that they think it's good for anyone to collapse economies?

I don't think this weak "gotcha" rhetoric is conducive to good discussion. You're trying to disarm their point by putting words in their mouth. And you're taking it off topic.

For example, since you only mention banks and large corporations, can we assume you're okay with every other possible way economies can be collapsed? No, that would have no "logical basis."

> Non-commercial includes the indirect commercial cases that would apply to the tool. //

AIUI that is wrong in USA and UK (don't know about other countries). At least if using the "non-commercial" definition used in IP law.

For example, you create an advert for free for an event that charges money, that's commercial. You give stuff away that impacts someone else's ability to sell, that's commercial. You do a free event, charge for snacks, it's a commercial event.

Use an app privately the results of which you use to benefit your employer, that's a commercial use.

It's pretty hard to answer the general question for "an app" rather than a specific app and associated action.

"Fair" is relative.
These perks an easy to see symptom. Certainly able employess - especially the ones with higher market value - aren't tone deaf to the current tune management / leadership is singing. That is many are already considering heading for the door. When the perks go the tune from the aggregate symptoms has turned to noise. And away they go.
I actually mean the even more general usage. The English vocabulary of objects is hierarchical: he, she, it are the major categories. Male and female humans fall under the first two. All other objects under "it". Not long ago even children were "it"s, I believe. Not certain about English, but certainly in some other languages.

That exerts a lot of ideology on communication, which has far-reaching effects. Simple examples:

- a human can only be talked about in the context of his gender;
- humans are talked about differently than any other object. Human-centricity is just the most basic example of that.

You could come up with many examples, and that's just how we refer to objects without the context of their unique identifications. Then there's the whole nouns-verbs model of language, which has a far bigger effect on how we see the world and reason about it.
its more used for "fuckit fix it post". It allows the DI people to pull out/mix&match bits of the frame that would otherwise be lost to noise.

Its also useful in VFX for things like matchmoving, as you can crank up the exposure so the tracker can grab onto something (again assuming low noise.)

That's the theory, with RED it never delivered, being noisy and not very sensitive (see DoP/ set deisgner's mutterings in the hobbit.)
And it felt as a pretty honest and accurate depiction.
To me, Qt Creator seems more similar to Android Studio than Visual Studio.
The GUI creator for VB was effectively MS Paint for widgets. QML has a layout system, data binding and loads of other great features that are a godsend for 'proper' apps, but are hard to avoid for the 'buttons, inputs and hot glue' approach I remember from my VB days.
GNOME Builder seems to be one step closer to VB in that regard, but I've only done a bit of testing with it.

I'm sure that's partly true, but it doesn't seem to account for the lack of alternatives to selling a used car. A car offers no utility, and yet continues to depreciate, sitting in the garage. Assuming you want or need to participate in buying/selling a car for life reasons (growing family, moving houses, or moving upmarket into just vehicles), how else do you class back any value from this asset? Other alternatives (donation, trade-in) aren't going to get you even lemon prices in return.

We Need to Change the Trajectory of Mental Health Research
Right. It's not "hard" in the grand scheme of things of climbing 8000m peaks in the Himalayas, highly technical climbs, or even a peak like Denali. However, it's also a far way from pull up to a parking lot and get a little exercise for the vast majority of people. Altitude makes a big difference for most. As you say, there's acclimatization. And also there's a world of difference climbing at 5000m+ relative to climbing relatively near sea level for almost everyone.
Fed: What Are We Learning about Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services?
There is a great dissonance between what people claim and what they do and without bridging these gaps discussions on ethical issues become useless.

For instance commentators here may stridently criticize Facebook and others and yet if they were in Zuckerberg or Sandberg's position may do no differently. It's techies who went to town about liberty and freedom and now are building the most invasive and creepy surveillance systems. This is perhaps the biggest betrayal of our generation.

There are always excuses but if you cannot stick to stated principles its your responsibility to examine yourself and not make claims you will not follow through in circumstances of power.

I think that we, as a civilization, don't really have the infrastructure (habit?) to talk about language i.e. look at it as technology, much less modify it. There's people creating artificial languages, which is really cool, but there's no obvious way to apply that in a mainstream way.

Then again, if someone were to start using English in a different way, it might catch on. He would just have to optimize his changes for acceptable backwards-compatibility. I guess the beauty about people as communicating devices is that they can adopt to changes in protocol, as opposed to some others (looking at you internet devices).

Edit: an artificial language is a bad term, there's no such thing, because it would imply that there's a natural language. It's just a new language, sometimes academic.

He ran away from an extradition whose ultimate purpose was to determine if he was guilty or not.

Even if he was innocent of the crime which he personally chose to avoid defending himself against in court — and hiding in an embassy until the statute of limitations expires makes me think otherwise — the fact that he definitely skipped bail and the fact that he’s living freely in an embassy not a prison both independently means he’s neither “innocently” nor “imprisoned”.
Actually something is coming back to me.

Its useful for "day for night" shots. Originally one would slap a blue filter on your lights and under expose the footage by x amount.

Assuming the sensor has a dynamic range wide enough, you can just alter the exposure in post, without clipping the blacks too much.
In addition to the comment re Notion I'd like to throw out coda.io. Notion is more developed but I think coda has some really promising stuff too. I'm considering both for my current project. I certainly agree that Notion is better than airtable (which I already decided against), I think coda had potential to be even better (but then Notion will improve too).

In short, from my usage so far, I like that everything is a document in Notion. Coda is more capable in other ways - I can summon up chats of my data and define new formulas. I love that buttons let me effectively create a little webapp that also works beautifully on mobile.

One thing I'm trying out with the qa guys (keep in mind very small team) is a list of test cases with buttons for pass/fail/dnt for each. Clicking pass or fail updates the status and test date for that row. You can also have actions in coda trigger integrations. So one thing we were discussing was notifying slack immediately when a test case fails.

Don't know where it will go - both products seem excellent so far.

I worked in the Australian government. One day a group of big wigs had a meeting in our conference room, biscuits provided. Our group had the next meeting in the room. There was a plate with a few leftover biscuits on it in the conference room, so a few people took one. A memo came around the next day reprimanding people for taking a biscuit.

I think a big differences is between

a) tools for professionals/experts where the assumption is the user knows best what it wants, and will spend time figuring out how to reach it

b) the instagram/autotune etc kind of tools that make everyone feel like an expert without doing the work, by providing very nice results for very little effort, but as a user you will very quickly run into the limititions when you form your own opinion.

Many tools that used to be a) now are becoming b) which is nice because it can increase power and productivity for everyone, but the experts and pro's are left behind... What's even worse for them is these simplified tools are often not created by domain experts...

I disagree. At Amazon, I never saw anything free in the break room except drip coffee. Stock has soared 6 times in 6 years.

At a startup, we always had free lunches every day (virtually anything you want) despite up and downs in the business.
In Spain, for historical reasons, lunch is had later and is the biggest meal of the day, often in the middle of work day. There have been talk to end this anomaly but many (most?) companies are very reluctant. For a long time it was very usual to include meal tickets as compensation (it was about six euros in 2000, raising to 10 or so in 2010) because, since it was considered expenses instead of salary, their treatment for taxes was much better both for the company and the employees. There were a few companies that managed the tickets contacting restaurants to accept them and employers to use them.

In their infinite wisdom, the government decided to control the system a little too much, so most companies no longer use them. Even in the good times I didn't like the tickets at all. It was difficult to cash them if you couldn't use them (when we were deployed at customers' premises or sick, we organized diners to "laundry" the tickets) and they forced me to eat too much: I can't eat two courses + dessert in the usual restaurants every day without going overweight very quickly. Give me the money instead! Or a parking spot, or a ping pong table.
Thanks for the precision.
