Or they never carry a balance on their card

Responsibly using CC isn't about "relying on future income to pay off present debt". If you have 5k in the bank, don't spend more than that, and pay it off at the end of the month (or if you're paranoid like I was right out of school, pay it off every week)
American has stopped building condos
I absolutely agree, however a separate issue is that most teachers (at the College level) also aren't trained as educators.
Number 2 is super easy to implement with libraries like celery.
A non technical person who has access to droves of intelligence gleaned from spying may be unaware that they have nothing but a very superficial comprehension as to what is actually going on.

I would venture to say that a great number of leaders in the west, east, developed and developing countries could not describe how a computer works. Don’t bother asking them about encryption.
Multiplication of floating-point numbers is not associative. Take for instance:

<smallest possible positive number> * 0.5 * 2

When evaluated like that:

(<SPPN> * 0.5) * 2

the result is 0 * 2 = 0

And when evaluated the other way around:

<SPPN> * (0.5 * 2)

the result is <SPPN> * 1 = <SPPN>

double sppn = Double.MIN_VALUE;

double first = sppn * (0.5 * 2);
double second = (sppn * 0.5) * 2;

System.out.println(sppn);
System.out.println(first);
System.out.println(second);
Yeah, the idea was to use ISM band. The problem was finding MTs that supported these bands. The LTE base station was much easier.

I was hoping 5G had taken this use case into account, and thought to optimize for those bands, or alternatively allow for use of 60 GHz, or something where i can get a local license for usage of that band.
Undefined behavior is "literally anything can happen". So yes, implementations doing "what they feel is the right thing to do" is one possible result of UB (as in this case). It could also emit an rm -rf / call and it would still comply with the standard...
4K TVs at normal distance already exceed the resolution the eye can see.

This seems impressive, but also seemingly pointless.

Richard Feynman had a speech warning about this problem back in 1974. Complete with a story about how a student was excited about doing some replication experiments on rats and was told "no, you cannot do that, because the experiment has already been done and you would be wasting time".

Others have also been worried about replication problems from the 1960's on. Hopefully some of this worry sticks this time and we can get a better understanding of what is really true in these fields. Physics likes to have very well defined uncertainties on everything they observe and don't like to say something is "true" unless the fact is likely at 5 to 7 sigma. That seems like a good margin. In psychology, 2 sigma is the standard for publishing a result.

Okay, manual loop unrolling definitely helps, but the programmer MUST be aware of dependency chains and ILP. The compiler cannot make the decision, at least not without a pragma or maybe an autovectorization engine.

At least, I haven't seen todays (2018) compilers cut dependency chains on without a #pragma omp reduce, or other assistance from the programmer.

I've unrolled loops myself to good sucess. But it isn't as easy as some people think it is.

Without knowing about dependency chains or ILP, small loops are often best left in smaller compact form. You leverage the branch predictor and minimize uop cache usage. I'd argue the typical program benefits from compact loops more.
Looks to me like both are prejudice (even if applied to things usually not called such), and both may be useful.
Seconded. Let's leave that kind of headline to the tabloids.
I wish there was more of this optimism. Yes, it sends a lot of conceptual ideas back to the drawing board, but that just means there are all types of new experiments to be composed and preformed.

A number of these experiments did replicate, and have such a huge set in multiple regions/culture is really really important.

Say this: in 120 years some of those experiments in the positive replicated set failed. It won't be as easy to just contribute that to sloppy findings. It could me the culture of human beings has changed, as well as our underlying psychological tendencies. If it was just two or three studies, you could dismiss them and say they might have been wrong, but with this data set, you could say with higher confidence that it's more likely something about our society has changed.
I think it's worth being careful with your language, but then you are talking about whether or not it's okay to infringe on the rights of another and I don't think it's any easier to say it is.

TLDR version:
it's controlled for a few neighbourhood factors such as median household income, distance from nearest food outlet and ethnic mix and a few individual factors like personal experience of violence and behavioural evaluations. But ruling out all the confounding factors is hard.
The authors are cautious about causality in their summary though
Doesn't it depend on the size of the TV? Also, doesn't it open up a path to getting rid of the screen door effect for 3D/VR?
Compiling to bytecode is just one of the possibilities.

Since the early days of Java, OEM vendors targeting embedded targets do support AOT compilation, with possible PGO feedback.

Some vendors like IBM, also provide similar capabilities on their regular Java toolchains.

And Maxime finally graduated as Graal/Substrate, which is also another way of compiling Java.

But all in all, everyone is transitioning to the benefits of bytecode as intermediate executable format.

Even some cool LLVM optimizations, like ThinLTO, are only possible thanks to using bytecode.
Would it? Some, maybe. But it really depends how it's implemented. Take the Canadian approach of starting with "We're Sorry", and explain that this is a test of how things will soon be given pending legislation.
Content owners would love for people to have adopted DRM as standard way back when VCRs first came out. Higher-resolution is just the carrot they are using to get consumers to adopt their DRM standards.
> You're arguing a strawman here.

You didn't really provide anything to actually talk about. You took two literally opposite techs and slapped them together and then acted like it was obvious what that meant.

Blockchain has no application to Onion routing nodes, either. That, again, would be the sort of thing you don't want a permanent record to track. Tor is specifically designed for the routing to not be stable and not be known. It is fundamentallly the polar opposite of blockchain.

Blockchain is a public list of immutable data, identical for everyone.

TOR nodes form a private list of ephemeral data, fleeting and ever changing. Unique to everyone.

> If caught acting malicious, then your node can be penalized.

Blockchain literally has nothing to do with this. It has no such capabilities of any kind. Hell, it was literally built so that you can't have penalties as that's governance.

> I can speak as to how you would incentivize non-malicious behavior.

Blockchain doesn't do this, at all. If anything malicious actors love blockchain because there's largely no capability to recover from a successful attack.
I think you’re spot on. I have friend that probably defies nearly every major category he’s part of: age, race, population density, location, home and perhaps even vehicle. But after reading this I realized his clothes do stand out and might be one of the few outward things that don’t suggest “middle aged midwest conservative”. If you need to figure out where to focus canvassing and marketing in a political campaign it’s probably not bad to have a range of variables and metrics to weigh, especially when things are otherwise mostly homogeneous. My friend isn’t going to tell his neighbors he voted for Clinton but you better believe he did.
Apparently "slay" connotes a lot more to you than it does to me.

I do find it an odd (but probably not wrong) word to use for a bombing murder, but the rest seem not at all strange to me.
I hope so. I'd love for evil companies who violate people's privacy (such as Reddit) to abandon EU, as it would allow for good and privacy-focused sites to gain a larger marketshare.
Having the journals archive artifices seems like a good idea, but the librarians hate it. The last thing they want to do is to give the for-profit journals another thing to monetize against the academy. What makes more sense is to have the universities and the library systems archive that stuff.
If you're happy with your 1080p TV, you'll probably continue to be so, unless you get a 4K OLED TV, which may blow your mind a bit.
You'll probably notice a difference but there's really no promise you'll find any value in it.

I need 4k for programming but I've yet to appreciate 4k for video. I see it, but I just don't really care.
IRC, like social networks, is slways tough to rank due to lack of structured data. I don't believe Usenet suffered this proform.

Re: Facebook I agree it has hurt, nay scourged, the Web—that's undeniable—but that has also created room to innovate how we share content on the surface web.

I enjoyed YouTube until I tested the effectiveness of ContentID and was banned under their ToS. May they burn in hell under the new EU regs.
No, because there's far more to a good learning environment than having good teachers.

I could pretend that I could've learnt the same amount by sitting at home with a reading-list for four years, but there's no way I would have.

I commented on this recently in the context of MOOCs -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18511176
There's a good chance this came out when it was clear that the administration was never going to allow details to be released. They kept the CIA director from briefing Congress on this assessment. At some point the pressure to correct public falsehoods builds and takes other channels.
Try reading the story and not just the headline.
It's the OLED part that blows the mind, not 4K part.
Pump pure oxygen into the grow-domes.
> You are hired to write code

This is pretty wrong imo. I believe we're hired to create business value.

An important question here to OP: Have you signed anything yet.. as in have they hired you yet? Or are you still negotiating?

If they're hired on at a discussed rate, and then realized the project has potential - then I agree, too bad. Don't be shitty.

But if it's early stages of negotiation and OP believes this is gonna create 1m in business value, and wants 100k for it.. then sure, pitch it to the client. Want the IP after? Ask them. Maybe talk to a lawyer though.
EU citizen here.

I keep using reddit but I have to admit the content quality has decreased. I keep going on it just like people like to go to facebook, just to entertain myself.

If reddit was blocked, I guess I would just give up using it.
I will replace my 1080 TV when it breaks. It has already failed once, the LED backlight replacement cost 1/5 of the a new TV. Next time it goes to waste (the bulk is mostly aluminum anyway).
I hit that phase very early and had an idyllic childhood.
Agreed. I'm not only uninstalling third party AV software - I always actually reimage the machine if its preinstalled. Even Windows Defender does sketchy things but at least it's the same vendor as the OS - so hopefully not adding on tons of risk.

I have the feeling that security software is often the most insecure one, because of bad design choices and lack of quality engineering.
I recall in the 90s when they said a 640x480 image was the equivalent of a 3x5 photo print. I think it's naive to assume our vision can be diluted down to a fixed resolution at a given distance.

No, I cannot see the pixel grid of my 55in 4k OLED TV at a viewing distance of more than about a foot. However I can see a single pixel illuminated at about 25ft.

So to say there is not benefit to 8k is like saying we'll never need more than 640k of RAM.
> One thing that might not be totally obvious from this article and others is that although some effects clearly replicate, and others do not, there are some effects that seem to be in a grey area, where the effects are probably real but much smaller than originally reported.

The two prior replication studies that I know of - the first was several years ago and raised the issue in the public mind afaik, then second maybe in the last year - both replicated almost all of the effects. The problems were that some effects were weaker than in the original studies. Are you saying that this most recent attempt at replication shows a large number of studies with no significant effects at all?
The call for a massive reduction in complexity reminds me of the VPRI "STEPS" project (Alan Kay et al) to build a complete end-user operating system in under 20,000 lines of code. Sadly, it looks like the project is dead or over, and the links I've found pointing to it on vpri.org are dead today.

Until there's some external stimulus, I don't think the industry is going to change. It's a lot cheaper to add new flashy things if you don't care about complexity (or the consequences of it, like bugs, and security). Getting a consumer to care about the complexity of the software in their computer or phone is like asking a Ruby programmer to care about the microcode in their CPU. It's not that we can't understand the problem but it's not a concern until it gets so bad it impacts my level of abstraction.

I'd love to see programs start putting little badges on their webpages that brag about how few lines of code they have, how low their cyclomatic complexity is, or how short their dependency tree is. I'm terrible at marketing but surely there's a way to make this sound appealing.
What do you use instead of a password manager?
The CIA has been a traitorous organ of nefarious and evil deeds for decades. But it has also successfully duped generations of Americans into believing it is acting in their best interests - such is the nature of the dire evil possible when you've got the ability to keep anything you want, a secret.

What we need is for the American public to rein in their military-industrial-pharmaceutical masters. But, they can't really do that, for as long as regimes such as Saudi Arabia have bought their country out from under them.
Well, in this case, you just need to make a GiveMilkBehaviour interface and make a class for all the possible ways of giving milk. Now all animal classes that give milk implement that interface, use composition to include the proper way of giving milk, and the interface is implemented by delegation to that component.

This is what's most important. A lot can be said about internet streaming but some Sat services have 4x the bitrate using comparable format.
The most unique ad readings are probably Bill Burr's, on his Monday Morning podcast.

He would often read the copy sent to him by companies advertising, criticize their terrible writing or the product itself... and he's not faking it either, as he often loses these advertisers. (but it's Bill Burr! so not running out of advertisers any time soon)

True, and Lovett is generally pretty hilarious, but... then the ad breaks are 5 minutes long... If I'm able (i.e., not driving), I tend to just skip them.
Arm Architecture Enhancements in 2018
Isn't it good, though, to prevent people from trying in vain to learn things by copy-paste?
What do you think is easier: convincing farms to send a cheap message to a federated database when they ship out products, or have them buy up insane quantities of computational power to compute crypto hashes, using insane amounts of power to do it?

Blockchain is crazy expensive to run. Why would anyone pay for that when there's dirt cheap alternatives that are every bit as effective at solving the problem?
It's frustrating. The experience is fun for 20 minutes or so, but it's downhill from there. I've used both the HTC Vibe and the Microsoft HoloLens, and enjoyed them. I've tried VR headsets all the way back to Jaron Lainer's original prototype. But I wouldn't spend two hours wearing any of this stuff. This seems to be the general opinion of people who can tolerate the things.

About 25-40% of the population becomes nauseated [1], which is a problem for a consumer product. That's higher than roller coasters. VR is just not going to be the Next Big Thing. Simple overlays in AR, maybe.

Marcus Hutchins and America's Plea Deal Problem
As soon as you are on the same collision domain as an adversary I think the risk of being attacked and exploited increases drastically. Many do it, but it's not a very safe thing to connect to untrusted Wifi.
Just because Feynman diagnosed the gradual charge drift as internal pressure doesn't make it internal pressure. The effect would be the same between fearing one was wrong and fearing one would be condemned and punished as wrong - changing the data to be closer to the official line.
Google gets even more ridiculous.

Whenever I travel to another country they show me ads for that country, in a language I don't speak.

This is on a ~10 year old account that I use daily, that has my language and country as settings, so 0 data analysis needed.
Pretty cool idea. How does it determine what information to extract to give to the user?
That isn’t quite fair.

Consumers aren’t told about DRM. The spec sheets don’t speak about what restrictions are in place. You only discover after the purchase that some capability you had assumed you could do no exists.

E.g. for me I’ve had this twice. Trying to view an HD movie over a component cable—nope not allowed. And second my daughter discovering she can’t use music from a streaming music service in a home video. Both occurred well after initial purchases.
I was thinking about this as well, words and phrases carrying certain emotions etc. But it might be just that as a non-native speaker, I am not attuned to it so it's harder to pick up on. I think it's definitely there though.

Good question. The cynic in me wants to say it's because chat apps can't mine "creative expression" like they can plain text . Or maybe just single-minded UI design thinking that under no circumstances should anyone use pink comic sans.... Either way, what you're describing really strikes home to me. I miss the internet that was full of colorful dialog, encouraged creative expression, and was full of interesting offbeat websites willing to inspire the imagination. These days even most of hacker news is atlantic or bloomberg articles, and I can't find any good design/image blogs that just curate good shit anymore (ffffound anyone?)....
> Use tough passwords and change them frequently. The best practice for passwords is to use real words or phrases you can remember easily — but spell them incorrectly. They should be at least eight characters and have a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, such as 5pEAzhawh$ for “five pizzas.”

The result of encouraging frequent changes: 5pEAzhawh$, 5pEAzhawh$2, 5pEAzhawh$3, 5pEAzhawh$4, 5pEAzhawh$5, ...

> Even better, use a password manager like Lastpass.

They really should have lead with this.

Not sure where this says America has stopped building condos.

In Miami, there are so many active condo construction projects that they won’t sell through for several years.[3]

This data implies that rentals are going up because Americans are buying less. (likely due to the cost of housing)) [1] Older generations are also more likely to rent than before. [2] It makes sense that rental construction is increasing, but the article says that condo construction remains the same.

Not sure if you’ve been following the 2.8 developments this year, but if you haven’t you should grab the latest beta. The new UI/UX is completely different from before (within reason) and is light years ahead of where it used to be.
Max Planck:

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”

Or more succinctly, science advances one funeral at a time.
If Google abandoned all corporate presence in Europe, including shutting its offices, datacenters, pops, and corporations, and its officers never visit, the EU would have a hard time asserting anything. Unless they were willing to enforce internet blocking or assess fees against those companies advertising on Google.
There is a large body of evidence suggesting that psychographic profiling is not effective [1] [2]. So I'm actually not sure that stereotypes do have utility when it comes to marketing. If they do have utility, the 2016 election is certainly not evidence of it. CA itself actually admitted that psychographic profiling - the technique referred to in this article by Mr. Wylie - wasn't even used by the Trump campaign [3]:

"...despite articles still featured on its website touting the role psychographic techniques played in Trump’s campaign, the statement added, “We have always stated on the record that Cambridge Analytica did not have the opportunity to dive deeply into our psychographic offering because we simply did not have the time...."

In short, this Mr. Wylie is hyping up the efficacy of the techniques he developed so he can get paid to speak at conferences like the one he did here and extend his 15 minutes of fame. There would be nothing wrong with his being paid to speak at conferences if his techniques had been used in the event that made him famous, however that is not the case here.
