Pretty accurate, there was an air quality report which compared about 3-4 samples of them with commercial air monitors - the lab found them adequate with some but not massive sample variance. They were the best of the consumer models tested.

Can’t seem to find the report but to be honest I stumbled on it while searching for PDFs on the subject a year or two back. (I own no stock nor have any affiliation with IQAir - just a satisfied customer - high price not withstanding).
This looks like a bait and switch heading to me

No, the concentrations are totally different.
But the majority of towed cars aren't rentals.

Also I assume if your rental car gets towed, the rental company will try to charge the cost back to you if they have to collect it, or you'll have to pay to get it yourself. You've already agreed to bring the car back to them on x day at y time. Could the scooter companies charge riders the towing fee?
Well it is complicated and there are no easy solutions regarding the terminology and psychology. The scientific community and press need to indicate urgency without causing despair/surrender.

Apparently certain residential building codes have air-freshness provisions:

I recently added A/C cooling to a previously heat-only house, and I took the opportunity to ask the company to explain some quirks in the existing system, like how the ventilation fan in the laundry room is on the same breaker as the central heating, and had a hidden timer attached to it.

The house was built (early 1990s) with a particularly powerful vent fan in the laundry room which was on (regardless of the wall switch) a certain number of hours a day, and the forced-air system had an air intake outside the house which mixed with the return air before hitting the filter.

This was all sized such that all the air in the house would be replaced about once every 24 hours, according to WA state's VIAQ ("Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality") code.

That's all been superseded by the International Mechanical Code and International Residential Code.
Have also been reading about this [3-6]. With some believing the economy is slowing[1] (i.e., lower corp profits), and with the Fed believed to be pausing rate hikes[2] (i.e., no interest payment increases), I'm curious to see if this turns into a sizeable problem (i.e., quasi '08 bad)

You should probably use mipmaps to avoid aliasing when rendering from far away.

I guess you'll have to compute the LOD by hand since neighbor fragments are not necessarily performing the same texture fetches.

We have half a dozen smartphone-operated bike schemes on the go. The bikes do literally litter the pavement sometimes. On occasion you have to climb over them (or carry them out of the way). They end up in the river and chucked into hedges. They end up mangled by the side of the road after people try to remove the locks. Some of them do objectively end up as 'trash'.

Yes, the blame lies squarely at the door of inconsiderate cyclists. But I can't help but think that the vendors (and licensing authorities) should have seen this coming. Is it stealing to personally take that rusy Ofo bike from the side of the road and re-use the materials? I think the answer is yes. What would the local authority do if I took it to the recycling station. They probably wouldn't want to touch it. So it's up to to the vendor to clean up their refuse.

I haven't seen scooters first hand, but if they're like the bikes, then I don't think that's a hyperbolic stretch to use the word 'littering'.
Certificates allow for decentralized trust, we just rely on a centralized CA. If we didn't trust the central CAs, we could still all run our own CIs and trust individuals.

Whether that's actually something anyone would do is different, but technologically, https allows for not trusting anyone but yourself and the organization your speaking to.

At last year's World Economic Forum, there was a panel titled "The Next Financial Crisis", and while many different potential causes were considered, the most prominent one is definitely corporate debt, especially emerging market debt that is dollar-denominated. [0]

Much of the concern in markets right now seems to stem from the idea that as the Federal Reserve tightens credit, both through raising interest rates and through unwinding its previous QE programs, there will be a significant impact on companies that have borrowed at lower interest rates. Debt that is going to come due in the next few years is going to have to be refinanced, or is going to default.

If you're a country which borrowed in dollars, the tightening of US monetary policy will often lead to a change in exchange rates that makes it more expensive to pay back debt. Coupled with a global economic slowdown resulting from a trade war, and things start to look nasty wherever you look.

This. The idea that we can simultaneously build a machine smarter than us and also control it is bordering on an oxymoron.

Unless we are near some kind of physical upper limit on intelligence, any AGI we build will easily out smart us, probably in ways we can't even conceive of.
On Ubuntu both Firefox and chromium I encounter issues with the shortcuts (The navigator catch them instead of the page). I'm only able to load examples with chrome (using shortcut alt+e). The shortcut menu doesn't open with Firefox. In chrome, the visualization is not working but the sound is. In Firefox the visualization is kind of working but the sound isn't. Interesting sound synthesizer with a gnu radio vibe.
It also seems like a valid and useful way to slow the rate of propagation of real news. Real news also spread very fast and faster than moderation.

The point is, this has next to zero selectivity. It just makes the platform hostile to encrypted group messages. My guess would be that (besides PR regarding the Indian stories, which is a social problem, not a technical one) this is about censorship. You can't censor things you can't see. Better stop them from communicating freely.
Yes and no. Functionally yes because every keyboard has them but I'd like specific function keys to be part of the "arrow keys section" so that users become accustomed to them and one day if I have space constraints I can implement just the arrow keys section and expect the user to be able to input anything without looking elsewhere, including text if I implement a virtual keyboard the user can navigate using arrow keys.
I'd like keyboards to have sections that can be snapped together, say the typewriter section on the left, then the arrow keys section, then the numeric keypad, all independent each other. In this context we could envision keyboard addons such as for example customized function keys for very specific operations and or modifier keys which aren't mapped to the usual shift/alt etc. If every key (sensor/knob/transducer, etc) was a module which initializes itself according to its capabilities and once snapped in with others uses a common bus for communication, we could build on the fly haptic interfaces a hundred time more powerful than any "modern" touch screen out there.
Not to mention that the game itself is a masterpiece.
conscientiousness is more complex than that. You have to understand what positive benefits manifest in what scenario for every given level of conscientiousness.

I'm very low-c and that means I have a proclivity to procrastinate and a tendency to not be able to stick with things very long term of my own volition. This doesn't make things impossible to do for me as I even managed to become fluent in Japanese which was a tortuous multi-year effort. Suffice to say higher conscientious would be nice, but it means I have a tendency to also not feel the need to follow all the rules all of the time and this results in my sometimes taking a contrarian or unorthodox approach and sometimes this has a massive and positive benefit. It also means I'm constantly forgetting to log my time sheets and take out the rubbish and things like that piss off my boss and my wife and this is generally considered a problem but my boss and my wife also love me because I do things they don't see other people doing and im considered unconventional but in a very good way.

Everything is a trade-off. It's not like all high conscientiousness people is the right mix of people to have.

> Once we get computers as smart as a mouse, we'll be at most 3-5 years or so computers as smart as a human. We will have solved at the major challenges in AGI and it will simply be a scale problem then.

Why? What challenges?
1,228.8 gigabytes (in binary)
Your argument is based on AGI, something we have no idea if will ever happen, and most likely nearly as close as you think.
> I think it would make sense for the individual packages to be signed as well (and checked during install). This way you'd get a warning if you install an untrusted package regardless of the source. I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way.

Actually, debs are not signed in Debian or Ubuntu. The accepted practice in Debian is that only repository metadata is signed.

The argument is that the design of Debian packages (as in, the package format) makes it difficult to reproducibly validate a deb, add a signature, strip the signature, and validate it again.

Personally, I'm not sure I buy it, as we don't have problems signing both RPMs and RPM repository metadata. Technically, yes, the RPM file format is structured differently to make this easier ('rpm' is a type of 'cpio' archive), but Debian packages are fundamentally 'ar' archives with tarballs inside, and those aren't hard to do similar things. For reproducible builds, Koji (Fedora's build system) and OBS (Open Build Service, openSUSE's build system) are able to strip and add signatures in a binary-predictable way for RPMs.

Fedora goes the extra step of shipping checksums via metalink for the metadata files before they are fetched to ensure they weren't tampered before processing. But even with all that, RPMs _are_ signed so that they can be independently verified with purely the usage of 'rpm(8)'.
Comparing the type systems of Java and Typescript shows a lack of understanding of the differences between them. Modern type-safe language have numerous things that Java never had and probably never will.

Any project of size will need types. Either they will be explicit (static typing) or the project will be riddled comments, tests, assertions, and bugs.
> HTTPS does not provide meaningful privacy for obtaining packages.

That's a very subjective and circumstantial statement being passed off as fact.

Just because one can list a few scenarios where HTTPS wouldn't prevent a malicious actor from achieving their goals, doesn't mean HTTPS does not increase security/privacy for apt in other situations.

Further, in certain contexts, guessing and proving are not fungible.
Being tracked and profiled is the cost of using google to do a simple search. No free lunch and all that.
Yeah I left that out to simplify the explanation. In this case, the mapping would just be more complex. Lets say we limit the memory of the machine to just 10 million of the previous queries.

Then the hash map could have keys equivalent to the concatenation of 10 million previous queries + current query. This increases the domain to 500^26 * 10 million possible keys. The underlying machine is still a hash map and you can build something equivalent or greater than human intelligence using this technique alone.

If you feel 10 million queries aren't enough we can increase the space to 10 billion queries thereby covering every possible range of textual inputs that can be achieved in a human lifetime. I think this is more than adequate for the mapping to cover a chatbot that is equivalent to human intelligence.

Again the goal of AI would not be to build such a machine but to compress the data. Essentially converting hard data into logic or in other words trading space at the cost of greater processing time. The theoretical exercise is just to show that intelligence and spirituality at a fundamental level is just a giant data mapping of inputs to outputs.

Thereby even under this scenario, a singularity is still possible.
Possibly. I haven't looked into it though.
ΛOC is the worst for me in Cyrillic, because that is a real word and it means elk.
The article doesn’t mention who’s buying the debt. As long as it’s private investors using their own money, I don’t see a problem with this.
It needs to be able to survive and reproduce in an environment like a real worm does to prove that it's just as intelligent, and not just wiggle around.
You could short publicly-traded PE firms with unfavorable profiles, go after companies with bad current ratios and operational cashflow, or just short the market. Dangerous game, though — remember that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
> But the majority of towed cars aren't rentals.

Surely some of them are, so this is already a resolved matter.

> Could the scooter companies charge riders the towing fee?

Why not? They knew who last rode it, and they know were it was parked. If they believe it was parked legally, they can sue the towing company. If they believe the towing company was in the right, they could demand payment from the customer who fucked up. Is that not reasonable?
To be explicit, you're saying the only metric that matters (when we're ranking software engineers) is how well-paid a software engineer is?
> And with anti-collusion labor protections, engineers stood to make even more.

Correct, but these protections exist (and existed at the time) independent from a union.

> In the US, union workers make between 10% to 30% more than their non-union peers

There's very few high-skill jobs which are commonly unionized. In a market where supply is greater than demand, then yes unions have absolutely shown to improve worker outcomes[1]. I'm not aware of any evidence for markets where demand outstrips supply (like that for skilled software engineers). It's not immediately clear that union protections would be beneficial.

>You're comparing pay across two different economies and only looking at unionization as a variable.

No, I'm simply pointing out that your flippant response to esoterica doesn't actually address the question. If unions are better for workers, why is it that a non-union area !!with a cartel depressing wages!! was still substantially better for workers than a unioned area with no such issue?

Saying "oh the market is different" ignores the question of why the market is different.

[1]: Indeed, that's kind of exactly what happened with this cartel. Facebook wanted to hire skilled engineers, and was willing to pay more, so broke the cartel. That kind of thing won't happen when workers are generally equivalent, but SWEs aren't.

He values continuing to experience, like most people.
Maximizing tolerance is a poor moral framework. All societies and people differentiate behavior last between tolerable and intolerable. As a culture, there is pretty much universal agreement that murder is intolerable.

There are however, differences between societies as to what is considered tolerable. The US considers making fun of deities tolerable, while in other societies blasphemy is intolerable and punishable by death.

Toleration can also evolve. Prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act, explicit racial discrimation and segregation was considered tolerable. With the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we have signaled that that behavior is intolerable.

In addition, toleration has a pragmatic aspect. You may believe a behavior to be wrong, but it is not worth going to all out war over. For example, prior to the Treaty of Westphalia, Catholic principalities thought that their Protestant counterparts were intolerable and vice versa. However, after the 30 years war, while both Catholics and Protestants may not have liked each other, but decided that religious war between states was not worth it.

At the extreme end, toleration is deciding what behaviors that you do not approve of are worth killing and being killed over, and which are not. Less extreme are deciding which behaviors you do not approve of are worth losing family, friendship, or business over.

Toleration is by definition the tension between moral purity and inclusiveness. If we view it like then we can more logically talk about where the line between tolerable and intolerable should be, rather than both side putting forward sophist arguments why their opponent is intolerant and thus should not be tolerated.
2011 (should be in title) and I suspect some very bad math.

The article may be confusing billionaires in yuan with billionaires in dollars; if so, maybe 72/4,000 or something is the real ratio. From the article the OP cites:

"There were approximately 60,000 people with 100 million yuan in the Chinese mainland at the end of 2010, according to the GroupM Knowledge - Hurun Wealth Report 2011."
I think one reason heat pumps have become more practical is that homes are now better insulated, making 85kBTUs of heating capacity excessive for all but the largest houses.

There's no solution to death. You can only put it off, but something will assuredly kill you in time. If it's not aging, then it will be cancer, heart disease, an accident, etc. Ultimately, entropy will get you one way or another.
I agree with you, but it doesn't sound like it would have helped things in this domain, as a negative index into a string (if they used signed ints and subtracted larger values) would have produced (according to the spec, undefined) values that were likely just as wrong.
Hello all! I'm Scott from Maker Updates and I wanted to announce the launch of our email newsletter, Maker's Digest.

With so much maker news happening on a daily basis it is challenging to keep up to date.

Our hope is that MD solves that problem.

Some of the topics MD will cover:

Project updates such as financials, #OpenStartup data, acquisitions, etc.
Project Launches

Let me know if there is any other areas of the maker-verse you'd like us to highlight.
Plus bad corporate paper is a highly-correlated procyclical problem, which will be extremely not-fun when the economy starts seriously slowing (especially since the government shot their fiscal stimulus arrow with the tax cuts and the Fed is still trying to get enough headroom to not have to worry about the “pushing on a string” problem they encountered in the ‘08 crash). Not going to be a fun year or two ahead.
Presenting science to politicians is hard. Sometimes it comes down to using the right words to explain something. Even something seemingly basic such as expressimg confidence or certainly on a non-numeric scale is tricky. I vaguely remember that studies have been performend to find out how to best map probabilities to natural language expressions like "very certain" so that people without scientific training get the right idea.

> Private businesses can't have legal stuff removed from public city sidewalks just because they don't like it.

Yes, they can, if they are impeding the use of a public right of way. When someone parks a car on the (public) street outside of your driveway, blocking you in, you can call a tow company to have it removed, and they would be legally justified in removing it and charging the owner for the impound.

>We do see inflation. But rather than inflated consumer prices, we see inflated asset prices as measured by historical valuations of stocks and record-low (or even negative) bond yields for example

Isn't, say rent, part of the "consumer prices" bit? If so, it is definitely tied to "asset price" of the said home.
That works fine as long as there's no physically-based emission (say based off temperature or heat blackbody).
Averaging (filtering) temperature values will give you slightly incorrect results at the edges. For WebGL stuff, that's probably not a problem, but it shows up in production offline rendering and needs to be dealt with differently.
