Consulting is a weird place. Just recently I had a customer decide they wanted to hire me full time (I’ve been consulting with one of their internal divisions for awhile, and the company wanted to make me available to everyone) and they balked when they saw I didn’t have a degree. But then I turned the interview into a pitch for using my consulting services for everyone instead of hiring me and the worry about my degree went out the window. Somehow it seemed ok to have a contractor without a degree but not an employee.
Well that’s just flat wrong. Here’s an example of an association of worker collectives in Spain known as the Mondragon Corporation which employs 75000 people:

I mean in the age of feudalism I’m sure people thought the idea of electing their kings would have sounded equally bizarre.

I've found small fire test, its not very scientific, but shows what I was talking about:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-J86Ka9MkQ

To correct myself, its the mortar that doesn't likes the fire much more than pure concrete, therefore brick wall has to be usually demolished after fire.
But yes, everything depends on intensity of the fire, but I would never say that (properly built) wood house burns easier or faster than brick house, its kind of a myth. It burns differently with different result, and different kind of damages. Where, in the wood house the damages can be _usually_ fixed easier as in brick house.
The problem for the Land Rovers is not that they can't handle the weight of all the infantry gear, it's that they can't handle the weight of their modernisation package.

They're soft-skinned light fast patrol vehicles, originally specced for use behind friendly lines and in Northern Ireland - up-armouring them for a modern battlefield, improving their radio gear and extending their range adds a lot of mass. It got to the point where the weight of the extra gear risked breaking an axle if they drove off-road at one point, iirc.

Thankfully the REME engineers are actually listened to when they say "this is provably unsafe, look", so they're getting new vehicles at long last.
Sp you agree about the BBCs bias, but you also can't honestly complain. I do agree with your point that it's important to expose this issue and I think the BBC did a good job here. Headlines are necessarily short and the very first sentence in the article makes it perfectly clear there is disagreement on this among scientists in India and there are scientists with integrity fighting the good fight for science. In fact the headline and first sentence sum up the whole issue very succinctly.
The x87 ISA does, yes, and they are supported for binary compatibility reasons. However the actual x87 registers are shadowed by the vector registers so you can only use one. Any modern vectorizing compiler uses the vector instructions for FPU arithmetic, even when scalar, with a max precision of 64-bit.
You know ten years ago I would have 100% agreed with you. In fact I would have been outraged as to why anyone would want to know.

And yet today, I consider the provenance of a product to be more or less my No. 1 consideration in whether I will use it or not.

We live in a world where brands and products are established, then monetized and eventually their userbase becomes just a trading chip that passes from hand to hand. We're giving access or money or trusting systems and we really have no control over the transfer of that trust, data or money.

So unfortunately now, yes it really matters a lot. You're asking me to add code to a website of mine: I want your address, your email, your phone number...I need to know who you really are.
I'm saying that if the author really thought donating that extra $X to the government (when other people do) was such a good idea, they would be donating it right now even if other people don't.

This is an aspect of human behavior. Sometimes people won’t do something if they aren’t forced to even if they think its a good idea. This is why the free rider problem exists. Your conclusion ignores facts surrounding human psychology. People don’t see a $1,000 donation to the government as being helpful if it’s just them doing it. They can see it being beneficial if millions of people do it. Hence an individual is unlikely to make a voluntary donation to the government whilst supporting increased taxation for everyone in their income bracket.
Or the days of Apple without Steve Jobs for that matter.

I remember pretty clearly how we all thought Apple would be doomed while they were still struggling to bring Copland out.
I doubt you have data to back that claim up. We should not be too quick to assume things about "the developing world" (whatever we think that means, and I'm sure we won't even agree on that) unless we have solid real information.
Wow. This applies to so many large tech companies today that have monopolies on their primary product and have repeatedly failed to really innovate since.

Those are fixed via a small bookmarklet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet):

for (i=0;i<elements.length;i++) {
if (getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position==='fixed' || getComputedStyle(ele
elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);
}
}
})();

Put that in a bookmark (it will be all one long line in the bookmark URL field), run it on the page with the banners, the banners disappear (at least in Firefox on Android). YMMV on iOS/Safari.
I have the opposite problem in the US. All the houses are too big, with high ceilings and giant 2 story foyers. Other than advertising that you can afford higher heating and cooling costs, I don’t understand the purpose of these high ceilings. And the 2 story foyer means the second floor is constantly too warm and 1st floor is too cold as the heat has no reason to stay at the bottom.
Assuming that landlords even bother to handle those things properly or safely.

My experience is they don't. They want the money, but not the responsibility.
Depends where they're going.

No end of scenarios where helicopter / jeep isn't going to work, or are being shot up, or can't fly. Yomping 50 miles across rough terrain, over 3 days with 100lbs and capability to fight when they arrive probably isn't a capability you want to scale back. It's used too often.

There's good reason it's a usual part of the combat fitness test for recruits.

I don't want to put Everything down because I still think it's a good app but anecdotally I have seen Everything using constant % CPU (I assume it was indexing search, and it wasn't a huge amount but still). This is across a few PCs I've put it on.

I believe Wizfile doesn't have an index as it does everything via the MFT so I don't even need to keep it running in the background at all times unless I want to quickly call up search. YMMV.
The article’s title, in the formal sense, is a bit misleading, as the neural network's purpose is for the detection (and not simulation) of falls.

IMO an interesting part in the article which is in regards to the training data is:
"the client’s data science firm used stunts people to fall like elderly people while wearing the sensors and streaming the collected data..".
I find this confusing, as to me having the buttons on different sides of the device ensures that I never make a mistake as the buttons are nowhere near each other.

> Most people just don't want to steal, assault, murder, etc. because of their own morality, not because of the law.

I strongly disagree. Many (but not all!) people would be more likely to steal – given an opportunity – if they were absolutely sure they wouldn't face any negative consequences. Similarly, a lot more people would punch someone in the face if they insulted them or cut in line, when they would be absolutely sure that the other person wouldn't punch back.

That doesn't mean that most people are inherently evil, just that they're non-perfect, flawed human beings. Social pressure and the justice system keeps them in line, not their morality.
That's the 'no mercy' approach! ;)

This is interesting because it helps explain the American interest in Montessori. But in other parts of the world these ideas are the mainstream consensus view rather than a fringe ideology. Quoting the United Nations website[1]:

"The Convention [on the Rights of the Child] provides a universal set of standards to be adhered to by all countries. It reflects a new vision of the child. Children are neither the property of their parents nor are they helpless objects of charity. They are human beings and are the subject of their own rights. The Convention offers a vision of the child as an individual and a member of a family and a community, with rights and responsibilities appropriate to his or her age and stage of development. Recognizing children's rights in this way firmly sets a focus on the whole child. Previously seen as negotiable, the child's needs have become legally binding rights. No longer the passive recipient of benefits, the child has become the subject or holder of rights."

The other important part is to remember that precedence follows the same precedence as ordinary expressions, i.e. array subscripting and function call have higher precedence than pointer dereference.

It is notable that the chapter in K&R which discusses declarations also presents a partial version of the cdecl program and one of the exercises is for the reader to complete it --- really helping to dispel the notion that compilers are not mysterious magic. In my experience, it's rare for an introductory book on a programming language to also contain such "hints" on how it could be implemented.

So does "Object". All "Class" does, here is paper over some of the complexity of making JS objects.

The first one's just ambiguity isn't it? "Where did you hurt yourself? At Timmy's place"
Of course it's arguable, my tongue was firmly in me cheek when writing that. It's just that the post I was replying to was so over the top, including half of it's points being entirely out of Apple's hands, it deserved an over the top retort.

For example, any improvements Apple made to wireless networking would by necessity be available to competitors - and they actually do it anyway! Apple are a major contributor to wireless standards, kickstarted Wifi
in the first place and are major contributors on connector standards too including USB-C. But as I say, these are standards so not inherently differentiating features.

We're at the point with handsets that one person's differentiation is another person's feature bloat. Take the people replying to me saying they prefer touch ID. Fair enough, I can understand why, but the corollary to that isn't that therefore face ID is worthless and not an innovation. That's just crass and why I phrased my post in a 'what have you done for me recently' framework. When a company is dressing a market of billions, 'I don't like new feature X that's popular with hundreds of millions, therefore Apple isn't innovative' comes across as whiny self obsession.

Thanks for that bit of insight, it is a confusing story especially when I ran into it. I like the UI of Tox, I wish it were truly solid, but I much rather recommend Pidgin with OTR and IRC / Jabber (although Jitsi is decent in this regard too), or Wire / Signal.
hi, the CSS mentioned here has been serving me well for a while, but since ~month I don't see the RYG buttons anymore.

I think you are both touching on the question of "if capitalism is so great, why do firms exist?". You might find the work of Ronald Coase interesting in that regard (see https://www.economist.com/leaders/2013/09/07/the-man-who-sho...). The basic idea is that transaction costs for smaller decisions become too high, so it makes sense to have a figure with authority to make certain transaction decisions by fiat. I think Mondragon still has such authority figures, but it has a more "humanist" corporate structure, composed of co-ops, rather than the shareholder-directors-mgmt-and-workers structure in an american c-corp.

corporate structures do matter.
1. And why would Unregistered Apps be a huge plus in these countries? Apart from VPN.

2. Having used E-Sim I actually think it is the future, even more so in developing countries, Physical Sim is an extra cost for management while E-Sim is a one time software cost. Dual Sim is only in China users requires Real Name another regulation which makes E-Sim much more complicated.
