I think the solution is even, uh, simpler than that. Refusing to vaccinate your children should be viewed internationally as child abuse, and parents who commit child abuse, especially in 1st world countries (where child abuse is already illegal), should be prosecuted.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted so hard...It's not a secret that Blender has a bad UI. I'm not making a comment about Blender as a whole here; I use it daily and have for the past 10? years. It's a great piece of software. But it's clearly lacking in the UI department.

There's even a three-part article (2013) from Andrew Kramer of Blender Guru, describing the issues and with some suggestions for trying to fix them. Luckily, Blender has made progress since then, and I'm sure we'll continue to see a great piece of software get even more consistent and clear in the future. Note: this doesn't mean dumbing the software down.
Driver asleep at the wheel arrested for Tesla DUI
The idea that Ross Ulbricht attempted to kill anyone is entirely based on the word of an agent who was charged with embezzling money, and never entered into his trial.

The prosecution decided to hide the fact that the agent was on the take during the investigation until Ulbricht’s trial was over. It helped them to have a cloud of shaky and unprovable allegations of murder floating around.

It would have been too risky to their case to put the accusations of murder under the scrutiny of a trial.

> Bitcoin and friends have value because they are fungible and because people assign a value to it. (Much like fiat money.)

The dollar is the official currency of the US, and all transactions the government makes is required to be in the US dollar.

Bitcoin is an optional currency, made fashionable by the likes of Aston Kutchner, and appears to be more akin to a polyester leisure suit of the 1970's than the US Dollar.

Both Bitcoin and a polyester leisure suit at one point had value, and they both got their value based upon fashion and celebrity.

> We're not talking about Tether though, we're talking about fungible instruments.

I can make 1 fashionable number worth $1M. Or, I can also make 1 million fashionable numbers worth $1 each. It doesn't matter that the price is fixed, if I have infinite supply.

From wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(cryptocurrency)

Tether claims that it intends to hold all United States dollars in reserve so that it can meet customer withdrawals upon demand, though it was unable to meet all withdrawal requests in 2017.[33] Tether purports to make reserve account holdings transparent via external audit; however, no such audits exist.[8] In January 2018 Tether announced that they no longer had a relationship with their auditor.[34]

That's one hypothesis but there are many things it can't explain. We could compare African countries that were colonized to African countries that were not colonized. The hypothesis predicts a big difference but is there?

It's great for use on the web, just please keep it there!
being told a solution can sometimes lead to "rote" learning - where you learn a particular way of solving the problem, rather than applying creative thinking.

Also, if you can't prove a solution correct, then you haven't solved it!
I've never played a game that offered more enjoyment in simply moving around the world than in Zelda. Putting yourself in the headspace of climbing up mountains and paragliding for transportation is so fun.
I've just been trying out a few deep learning frameworks recently, and found the julia framework Flux to be enormously fun, flexible and generally just extremely hackable.

You're assuming that's just due to insecticides. Insects are exposed to multiple stressors. One of them also happens to be global warming. Others are habitat loss, insecticides, invasive species, etc.

In fact the researchers measuring the loss of insect biomass in puerto rico rainforests attributed it primarily to climate change since the other factors do not apply there.

What about in a home theater setup?
Whenever I see these kinds of calculations I just roll my eyes, because video is compressed. There is a very good practical reason why you want 8K. It's the online streaming bitrate! Today if you watch 4K video on Netflix they use 20 Mbps, give or take. That in my opinion is NOT good enough for 4K (UHD). The reason why I am looking forward to 8K is that then they will finally have better video bitrate. So 8K bitrate would be probably be equivalent to reasonable 4K video bitrate.
Modern TS is usable, agree. But I'm talking about non-browsers world, where we have not just "usable" languages, but languages with much better characteristics, much better suited for the Embedded Systems. And they have even bigger ecosystems.
That’s because of modern branding, some places don’t allow those to be called milk, you can’t call it milk in the EU unless it comes from animal sources for example.

Which is why almond, soy etc. would be called almond or soy drink in the EU you can’t even advertise it as a milk substitute.
That's really sad to hear. Any pointers to English-speaking and/or prominent Swiss women's rights voices would be appreciated!
Although my tele's Freeview decoder is SD I do get to see in all its 'full' 720p glory when using the Chromecast or Blu-ray player, and okay, if pushed I can tell the difference, but I really do not miss it at all when it's not there.
The story fails to elaborate on the very lead example, a pub turning into a halal butcher's shop.

If there's neighborhood demand for halal, doesn't that mean there are more Muslims in the area? And don't Muslims generally abstain from alcohol?

It almost becomes fully inverted in the Legend of Zelda games. I think this behavior is there in the whole series, but in Ocarina of Time in particular, if you kill a chicken, there's a dramatic cutscene of the chicken dying which foreshadows the chicken's brethren registering your evil. They then chase and attack you. You can't fight the horde back, so they eventually kill you unless you get indoors before that occurs.

Yes, and that accounts for the apparently short lifetime.
"Education" isn't just "knowing more things", it spending time at specific institutions -- institutions which some people have more access to than others, and institutions that impart a specific worldview. Going to a Chinese university vs an American University, or even an Ivy League vs a state school is a very different experience. And people can be educated about politics in a non-institutional context, ie through news media, local activism, friends and co-workers, unions, etc. What is shockingly disconnected from the real world is the idea that elite American educational institutions are somehow totally disconnected from social realities and study politics in a field of pure, unbiased reason
Ahhh coool. I didn't know they had this PDAF thing to get stereo images. I remember when they released their first round of this for the old cameras, where you were required to smoothly swipe the camera over to the side and (I'm assuming) they used optical flows + accelerometer data to get two source locations for stereo stuff.

Interesting application of object detection/segmentation to make up for a weak depth map from the PDAF, but I have to wonder, if you're constraining yourself to portraits and are doing a pretty good job of detecting the person, I wonder how well you could do without the stereo depth data at all...
Why would they have to disclose that? They are not elected politicians or have any other status that requires them to publicly disclose their employers any more than you or I have.

After all the problems with the counterfeiting etc., I wanted a straight up “shareable list” approach to a registry when my wife and I conceived.

I ended up pretty happy with Babylist, which is basically a nice centralized tool for clipping item URLs and sharing them. Their business mode seems to be an in-app store, but it doesn’t seem to privilege their store too much over third parties, and there don’t appear to be any ads in the actual registry shared with folks.

It’s as close to the no-frills solution that I originally wanted as I could find. I’ve been pretty happy with it.

I agree. It has to be obvious to those in charge that this debt bubble that every single country is blowing cannot continue to grow forever, yet no country has succeeded in halting or even slowing their debt growth.

They're trapped, as you say, by each other. None can get off the ride before the others do. They will all need to fail together in a worldwide economic collapse, or agree unilaterally on some sort of global debt reset.

But that's not how grownups should run a planet, and it will doubtless lead to a lot of human death. It's already lead to uncontrolled growth that has damaged ecologies, fisheries, and aquifers for thousands of years to come.

Re frame rate: I believe 10kHz is considered a stroboscopic-artifacts detection threshold. Michael Abrash mentioned 300-1000Hz is required for low resolution VR (1080p). Higher rates for higher resolution. So yeah, the current 240Hz displays don't quite cut it.

Neat stuff. What's all the hate is about. Not every embedded system is running real-time sensitive industrial machinery or medical equipment.

Many things like general consumer electronics can run fine with Node. The runtime is incredibly well-tested at this point, JS is easily learned and scriptable for extensibility, the single-threaded nature is easy to work with and fast enough, and managed memory makes it easy to crash and recover from failures.
great useless effort .....
Most Comcast customers in the US have a 1T monthly cap.

Their language: "After using these 2 courtesy months, if you exceed the plan you will be charged $10.00 for each 50GB of additional data provided, but charges will not exceed $200 each month, no matter how much you use."

I hit 700G last month. If I had to do a full backup or restore I'd definitely go over 1T. Annoyingly, they count both ingress and egress traffic.

I am curious how many people the author has taught mathematics to.

It doesn't seem a good idea to jump into writing a textbook teaching mathematics unless one has experience of teaching mathematics.

But the author makes the very point about early failures of programming, due to lack of experience, so perhaps he can supply information about what his pedagogical experience consists of.

Teaching other people is a craft, similar to programming or mathematics, with its own necessities.
How does posterization differentiate from banding? I know when I encode videos from an 8-bit color space, I sometimes have to generate an additional layer of noise so that I don't end up with those horrible macro-blocking blotches you get with banding.

It is.

I live in a 'dense' suburb near Seattle (renting, but finally in a house that's not as noisy or otherwise hell as apartments can be).

I'm a Comcast customer (for lack of ANY OTHER actual high speed data competition; DSL is like 8M bit down and less than 1M bit up per second).

Their 1G bit plan gives me something like 25-30 M bit/sec upload, and comes with a VERY small 1T bytes cap. Not even /trying/, I easily come near to 700-800 M bytes per month.

I fully expect to exceed that during the holiday season when I have to liquidate my vacation time per my current employer's policy (or loose it) and have nothing better to do than binge on various legal video products.

>YouTube Originals was a big-swing idea that had to find out, definitively, if the immense online entity's user base would A) pay for something and B) be interested in scripted longform storytelling. Well, YouTube found out definitively that the answer was a resounding no.

It's not so much that the audience isn't interested in paying for long form storytelling (or at least myself), but maybe just not interested in paying YouTube for it. YouTube is a place for short videos, I go there when I want to watch tech reviews, recipes, or something silly. When I want longform storytelling, I go to Netflix or something else that I pay for.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but YouTube hasn't done a good job of advertising or raising awareness of Premium content at all. The most I see is a few thumbnails of things that I need to pay to watch on the homescreen. I would be happy to be proved wrong, but I have low expectations of drama or any longform content on YouTube - I expect it to be low budget and badly acted, so I may as well just go elsewhere.

Perhaps ad blockers are a double whammy against YouTube Premium. I don't see ads on YouTube anyway, so I don't need to pay to get rid of them. And maybe they're advertising Premium content on there, but I've not seen them anyway. I'm kind of surprised that YouTube doesn't put more effort into subverting adblockers, it surely wouldn't be that difficult to inject the ads into the video streams and make them unblockable.

Still, it wouldn't take much for them to draw more attention to Premium videos, whether it's from ads, creating more social media buzz around them, or just putting a larger section on the home page that at least gives me a description of the content that I'm missing. As always, YouTube relies too much on their algorithm of placing more of the same content in front of you. When the experience is designed to just keep you clicking on though the recommendations of videos like the ones you just watched, it's no wonder that they're not getting eyes on original content. And yet it should be so easy for them.
That's called coil whine! It could happen in a router, but it seems unlikely in such a low power device.

His position is actually too poorly designed to really evaluate.

However I think it's a reasonable argument to make that a General Intelligence may use some form of a symbolic system. I'd even accept the claim that General Intelligence would require some form of expert systems to cross the threshold. So in that sense, combining DL with Expert Systems, other symbolic methods or approaches like Bayesian Causal analysis is probably required.

Ehhhhhh. Podcasts can be much more targeted, so I'm not sure that comparison holds up. Radio hits a lot of ears, sure, but I'm not sure you can compare the quality of those impressions. YMMV if you're thinking some really niche satellite radio or something, but where I am there's only terrestrial, and I wouldn't even consider advertising on it.

Podcasts can also have global reach in a way that radio doesn't and never will.
