>Lying: marked by or containing untrue statements[1]

So are we suggesting 4x4 MIMO, 256 QAM, along with some 3GPP Rel 14 features ( such as lower latency ), eLAA, better FDD-MIMO with LTE as 5G being correct and not lying when the industry as well as previously agreed upon 5G standard were starting at 5G phase 1 with 3GPP Rel 15 using NR?

Spec wise, and technically, ( Since we are on HN and talking to Geeks ), this is lying. To consumer, The 3GPP Rel 14, or whatever AT&T is using does actually include many of the 5G improvement.

From a Carrier perspective, I have yet to see ANY real world testing results which suggest to me 5G NR is actually that much better. Which means they will need time to do lots more testing and tuning before consumer will see the benefits. It is however important for them to bring their customer base to 3GPP-Rel 14 which supports the FDD-MIMO. ( Unlike TD-MIMO which works with 3GPP-Rel 8 if I remember correctly, so Advantage to Sprint ). But most carrier are using FDD spectrum. Moving the customer to FDD-MIMO capable phone vastly improves the Network Capacity and hence better for everybody on the Network.

Another major problem is 5G were far too hyped up, we have seen this far too many times and it seems people never learn anything from it.
I was disappointed that the author didn’t mention the evolution of neurogenesis as the driver for modularity and more complex architectures. Simply trying to design modularity won’t be enough. We’re going to need to incorporate developmental models that are themselves a product of evolution. What’s interesting about this is that gene regulatory networks that evolve and which orchestrate development from a single cell to a complex organism and those networks can also be modeled as neural networks. In effect, evolution took the most powerful computational system (gene regulatory networks) and reimplemented it with neural networks.
Well, how about this...

Likely a much higher percentage of Slack users though.
They are not very handy because the controls points don't mean much to the user.
Interesting, could you help me understand what type of important meetings you're talking about and why you would not be comfortable?

I haven't experienced people having a problem with me observing their meetings before, in fact most people are really happy for me to learn from their meeting. I understand some meetings could be difficult though eg. HR related
U2f support is badly hampered by half-assed browser support. Only chrome enables it by default, Firefox disables it by default, and no love from safari. Even LastPass in the browser uses yubico’s proprietary otp algorithm rather than u2f.
The only impressive thing about this is the exaggeration that is being played out here. Which is also a reason why I don't go to the related subreddit anymore. We are still talking about a absolute minimal part of what the end product is supposed to be and the cheering happening now is related to basic things that are not so bad anymore (FPS, server stability, etc.). Considering the time frame and the budget we're talking about here, its a joke...I wrote "everything" because it depends what the topic is with the fans the product is either not there "because it's Alpha" (even though with the PTU shouldn't it be pre Alpha?) or it's a great product because it's so fun now and so on. So maybe I should have rather said the product is in Shroedingers Box and we don't know what it is.

In my opinion it's a terrible abomination and it reflects Roberts career and pretty much the worse things about the gaming industry today. I don't see a single good thing about what is happening there. I just hope nobody, ever will get the idea that this is a way of delivering a game or any kind of product.
Agreed. Before my shadow day I get the CEO to send a quick email to everyone in the company introducing myself, why I'm in the office etc. This seems to work well.
I believe Maven is Java's package manager these days.
We’re really talking about electrochemical gradients here: sustained bioelectric fields that represent the differential accumulation of ions in cells / tissue. Radiation would need to be ionizing and intense or have enough of a heating effect to materially alter the structure of gated ion channels (like, you literally put an organism in a microwave) to make a difference. In both cases the result would likely be failure to thrive (complete disruption), but moreso due to the fact you’ve destroyed every other protein in the organism in this process.

I’m not going to be completely dismissive of possible side effects of long range microwave radiation on tissue, but you’re essentially asking something akin to, “how does my fridge magnet affect the Sun’s magnetic field and boundaries of the heliosphere?” i.e. orders of magnitude differential in effect size. Hope that helps!
Actually both are reasonable and would not be considered as lying. To me at least, since 4K 3840 x 2160 is still double of 1080P, which WAS 2K.

Until some idiot decide 1080P is just, 1080P, and 2K now stands for 1440P. You can see this now common in Phone Spec, Gaming and many other resources.
Because these frequencies dont handle water well. They turn into heat pretty fast when hitting flesh.

As for the birds navigating, a thousand 5g cells would have less impact on the earth's magnetic field than a single high voltage powerline.

This disturbs me.

So Slack is a communications platform.

If we have an embargo against a country, we have to shut off any services we offer to that country? Including communications platforms.

Doesn't seem like that will help improve things in that country, or help the people in that country communicate.

I'm all for not sending a dictatorship steel or guns, but why would we cut off communications platforms? That seems batshit.
Consider this:

Say a light source has a T temperature resulting in X photons emitted. I redirect all the photons to a single point. I see arguments mentioning that that single point cannot be hotter than the source because there's no more photons to make it hotter.

I now add a second light source of the same T temperature, that emits the same amount of photons and also focus all of them on that same point. I now have more photons, but temperature source of all photons is the same. How does adding more photons not make my point hotter?
SC has a framework in place for "telling Space Sim stories". There is nothing new there and Roberts has experience with that. I don't see how this would justify those "delays" and failures at all.
The one thing I wish would happen now is some carrier have the guts to finally roll out their 5G, or 3GPP Rel 15 in full and call it, 6G.

Because their competitor decided to call something 5G which isn't 5G, they have no choice but rename their network as 6G.

I hope that is T-Mobile US.
Yeah, this was my immediate thought as well. Yes, you can't concentrate solar energy to heat something hotter than the surface of the sun. But the emission of a 100C blackbody is not visible either, so it's clearly an incorrect hypothesis on it's face that this temperature causes moonlight.

It's a bad mirror, not a radiator.
> Users who travel to a sanctioned country may not be able to access Slack while they remain in that country. However, we will not deactivate their account and they will be able to access Slack when they return to countries or regions for which no blocking is required.

So why ban any account? Why not just drop connections from IP addresses in embargoed countries?
That’s what they said they’re going to do.
They try very hard to ensure that mothers can’t get good jobs, thus obligating them to stay home and make more babies. Surprisingly, it hasn’t worked very well.

Vendoring is totally a thing you can do, but keeping them up to date with upstream (and keeping your bazel BUILD files current) is a full time job. You have to hire someone to do that work, it's not completely automatable.
They're explicitly saying that they don't do that and that they don't have that information.

But they did do it, so what does that mean...
Uh, Australia is the West.
How do you know it's not 80 of 100, or 40 of 100?

And even if it is 99 of of 100, does that mean we should ignore the 100th, which could be causing untold harm?
You don't have to believe that they reflected such rights perfectly, to believe that they did reflect them better than our current arrangements, though.
It seemed insincere to me with the emoji-like slack logo at the end of their post. I know it's a standard practice for them but if they wanted to appear sincere they should have discontinued that practice.
It is planned to make riot enable encryption by default when it is fully stable but I totally understand why the protocol would allow it to be disabled. Matrix is about more than instant messaging and there are possible use cases where you may be using it for something that needs no e2e. Maybe you are using it to control the lights in your house and you want to write an SQL script that can read the commands sent to your light over matrix and tell you how long they were turned on for last month. You can't do that if the commands were e2e encrypted and you gain nothing by encrypting them.
IP != nationality or ethnicity.
I don't know if I agree fully. Yes they were obviously different games, but it seems like Skyrim and Witcher were very similar in scale. Had Bethesda decided not to not autogenerate many of the side quests, it feels like Skyrim could have been Witcher with a different lore and combat system despite being way earlier. I remember zero Skyrim characters and remember most of the Witcher characters, and while I understand they're different games, I refuse to accept that a company the size of Bethesda could not make an Elder Scrolls story that introduces complex lore like Witcher that could be largely ignored by masses if they so choose (Fallout 4, for example).
Based on my understanding of the physics involved, it's entirely possible that the rifle has accelerated to the recoil velocity by the time the bullet leaves the barrel, yet not actually moved measurably yet.
So their app can eavesdrop on your conversations to target more ads. Facebook does nothing without an ulterior motive.
It remains unclear. From the blog post, it sounds like they banned a number of accounts, and now are manually unbanning some of them.
As I thought more of why one might get confused with this question is because one might miss that there are two effects here, not one.

To have a combustion we need two things - light of high enough temperature and light of high enough energy concentration. The two are not the same. All visible light has high enough temperature. However the concentration is the problem

Why do we need high concentration for combustion? If we don't supply enough energy to compensate for heat loss, the area will never get hot enough.

By the way - interesting corollary of this is that even with sun lights - if we have a mechanism that takes away heat fast enough (say by blowing cold air at the area) we would not be able to reach combustion with large mirror in direct sunlight.
Over the network these days. Have you ever gotten a message on your phone similar to “carrier settings updated” especially after switching a device from one network to another? That’s what it means.

"Is there any way to expose the general program structure and algorithms so that they're easier to analyze without learning the specific language they're written in?"

No. They are full of crazy shit. Like loading an instruction to a CPU register, and then executing and modifying that register (to speed up IO-operation perhaps?).
> Well, the alternative is to be an originalist, trying to determine what a bunch of dead white guys in the 16th century -meant- when they wrote it ... I find that an unhelpful approach because the world, and yes, society, change.

That's precisely why there are ways to amend the constitution. And we have been doing so for a long time - the most recent amendment is only 25 years old. That's the originalist way to dealing with the world and society changing, and the benefit of it is that it makes the change less arbitrary, and more democratic (since it's up to state legislatures, which are elected) than judicial fiat.
What a member of the elite class of legislators knows about pop culture is an awful barometer, especially when you toss it in as better than actual counts of how many people owned these things. You sound like you're arguing from your own subjective circumstances instead of reasoning with evidence.

And maybe girls around you didn't play videogames, but they certainly did where I was, about as much, but maybe a little less. you're assumptions here are simply wrong.
Real resources go into the building of those buildings though. You could have built other things, but instead you must rebuild new york.

Whereas, soldiers probably weren't doing much economically productive in the first place. And as long as there is spare capacity in the labour force, moving people from "unemployed" to "soldier" isn't a massive misallocation of resources.

It's not nothing - taxpayers could habe spent the money better had they kept it. But it's not the same as if you levelled a city.

Further, the vast bulk of costs associated with the iraq war are interest on debt. That is really just shuffling money around. Especially if the debt is held by americans.

Money is just a unit of exchange. It isn't synonymous with wealth itself. Climate change will actually directly destroy wealth: it will level capital stock, it will lower crop yields, etc.

This is very different from movements of money back and forth that leave the physical economy untouched.

Iraq suffered destruction of capital during the Iraq war. Not sure if a dollar figure was attached to it, but that would be a more comparable situation.

Iraq's economy is $200 billion per year. I'm guessing the dollar loss to them was much less than 2.4 trillion. And yet I'm sure the real hardship caused by capital loss is greater than americans feel from their financial loss - even if you account for population size differences.
It's pretty awesome how they made a crowdsourced, for-profit, low-cost laser particle counter appliance.
Nonsense. Much of Silicon Valley consists of foreigners, yet they didn’t block those users — a significant part of their user base ; thus the theory of ethnic or nationality blocking makes zero logical sense.
The line you quoted is specifically clarifying what they will be doing moving forward, which is blocking connections from sanctioned countries. Their post as a whole is their apology for the prior method, which did deactivate accounts.
This is the catch with Bazel. All of its integration with npm, pypi, crates.io, etc are hacks that essentially vendor the source of your dependencies and attempt to generate BUILD files for those deps with some heuristics. For a lot of packages the heuristics work, but not all. Ultimately bazel needs you to vendor and hand-maintain BUILD files to get a seamless experience.
Marriage as a civil institution long predates any religious take on marriage, even for Christians.
>If this were important, surely some scientist would have found holes in the theories no?

That's a dangerous way to think. Isn't data fraud, particularly when in line with an alleged agenda, something that should be vexing? You don't think it's possible that the same shunning that occurs in non academic settings towards deniers might occur in the sciences? In which case perhaps scientists aren't willing to risk careers and funding to go against the grain, if they are even concious of any bias. I imagine most young people are entering into this field now treating agw as confirmed fact.

And if you combine that with the all of the ways in which the scientific institution is currently broken (p value abuse/misuse, publish or perish, reproducibility crisis), it's very possible for an artificial, or massaged, narrative to come to dominate discourse even if it isn't quite true...

Seriously? They've done a TERRIBLE thing. They've shown that you can get ridiculous amounts of money for...pictures and empty promises. I hope this idea will never catch on because this is far worse then every loot box business model out there.

It also hurts everybody else attempting to do something like that. Just imagine what a capable director could have done with those amounts of money...

>Where's the money now? I guess it's still in my bank account. No you can't have it back.

Except the money goes back to the Brave user pool and ends up in the hands of creators who have opted to participate. Brave's hope is that every content creator will eventually register to collect what's theirs. Their business model depends on it.

Before judging, please read their materials (and examine their pedigree). It's pretty clear they are thinking much, much bigger than what you're accusing them of. This a Google level play, not some two-bit micro-transaction scam (if anything, it's a little bit too ambitious).

This all goes without even mentioning the huge privacy gains to be had for end users if their model works. I encourage you to have a look into that as well if it's a topic you're interested in.

Time will tell if they succeed or fail. But if they fail, at least they'll do so "while daring greatly".
I don't really follow this argument, and I would like to.

I think one thing which would help me develop an intuition for it would be to see the calculation of the lens size for heating a one square-centimeter area on the earth to as high a temperature as possible by the light of the moon, and what that optimal temperature is.

Anyone reading for whom this is straightforward? Even a description of how to do the calculation would go a long way.
In my limited understanding I believe that ipv6 blocks are given out to organisations such as your local ISP which let's you know the location because you can see who owns the block.

I don't think limited addresses was ever the reason for assigning in blocks but the real reason is it makes routing easier. Instead of having every router know the path to 128² addresses it only needs to know that everything starting with these few bytes goes to this port which saves memory on routers.
How much is the expected upside for crimes like this for the individual?

Basically, even if you make this alleged crime punishable by life in prison, will people still attempt it because the upside is so much?
Diesel emissions are especially hazardous but aren't regulated as tightly in most jurisdictions as gasoline vehicles (at least in the US) because of corporate influence (corruption).
> Ok, let’s get into licensing. Copyleft licenses like AGPL and SSPL have a weaker result in terms of overall benefit to society than liberal licenses like MIT and Apache2. [...] They’re forcing a world view that everything should be free and shared like some sort of make-believe Star Trek future where money doesn’t exist.

That's FUD right out of 1998. Sigh.

Look, any attack on copyleft needs to start from a position of describing how any of the open source revolution of the last two decades happens without it. I mean, basically everything was driven by GPL software.

Instead, this starts from a position of poop flinging by calling GPL proponents naive communists. I don't see that it gets any better. Skip.
I assume it's this issue.

Right. We can't concentrate light brighter than it is on the surface of the Moon HOWEVER, because the light's effective temperature is much higher than the temperature of the Moon itself, we CAN use frequency-selective filters to heat up a sample, in principle to the point of combustion. Thermodynamics allows this. Basically, the greenhouse effect.
That just looked like a "signature" to me, it didn't come off as insincere at all.

> we just stick to facts, MIT-alike licenses provide more freedom for the final user.

That's not "fact", that's semantics. You're playing games with the definition of the word "freedom". The FSF has been outrageously clear about exactly what it means by that term, and what freedoms specifically it's trying to protect.

Argue with those points. Don't fling around "facts" like this, it's just bad form.
I was being somewhat facetious. There does not appear to have been data fraud. OP was referring to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_email...

The only people I've seen who are worried about it are either propagandists or autodidacts.

Not using the term propagandiat loosely. Referring to people at industry funded think tanks. But others who thrive on being "contrarian" and self educated always seem to reference this "fraud" even though there seems to be nothing to it.

Added some quotes to my original post to clarify.
Yeah, MS teams which is like discord. Only worse and slow.

Teams is better than Skype or Lync, but that is a very, very low bar to clear.
But you could instead cover the whole moon with some kind of dust that reflects 12% of incoming irradiation in average. You're arguing technical problems with a toy example illustrating an unrelated point.
The original goal wasnt "dishonest people" but thieves. It is a slight but important difference. We all confront dishonest people daily without issue. Rarely do we confront thieves, criminals. By using actors this video could encourage people do do something dangerous on a false belief as to how the thieves would react. So i am glad he removed the clips.

I remain worried that such games may one day get someone hurt. Not every thief will laugh it off. And they know where you live. Leave sting operations to the professionals. Dont make things personal. Dont escalate petty theft into a potentially violent confrontation by continuing things beyond your property.

That area looks pretty rough regarding air quality. How is your health?
Since 2015 Google Street View cars have been driving around with Aclima air pollution sensors. The interesting thing, is that pollution varied greatly block to block with no obvious explanation. I think to get a good result, you need a sensor very close to you.
