I wasn't specifically saying all climate change deniers are nut jobs, just that the ones the media trots out often are. I'm not familiar enough with the denial side to evaluate their position - but that's the modern problem isn't it? We have to delegate to a third party to assess ideas for us because we don't have the time or expertise to fully understand every political position. But if that third party becomes biased, it all collapses.
I think they should be assumed scams period. That is the whole point of the Nigerian Prince fraud aspect - reporting them would be "I got duped while attempting financial crimes!".

Once again your only world view is "oh these poor devs" and "oh these poor companies".

> the tech behemoths you complain about to get a free competitive advantage

Where would that "free" competitive advantage come from? A "behemoth" would have a petabyte of data coming in daily, spread over hundreds of systems and dozens of applications (both internal and external).

If anything, startups benefit: they have less data and systems. And, once again, if the devs do what they had to do in the first place, there's not that much of an additional burden.

These "poor" devs and companies had literally decades[1] to get their shit together. Now they want sympathy? What did they do to deserve sympathy?

They really are the worst. I got in touch with them to buy one, as unfortunately they had one that I needed for business (speculatively registered on their part). When I asked how much they wanted for it, they then doubled the price to $10000 (9 characters, not commonly used words).

In the end I went with an alternative TLD. it isn't as good, and I'd have been willing to pay a decent amount for the one I wanted (even their original price, reluctantly), but I refused on principle when they got silly.

They are just parasites.

You’ll get more ads that don’t relate to you, so you’ll feel like there’s more advertising.

If you don’t want to be bothered by ads, we probably need better targeting, not a ban on it.
Article IV of the Outer Space Treaty prohibits nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in space. It's pretty hard to hide the fact that a satellite is full of nuclear material given that they stick around, but the shuttle would just be up for a little bit so it would be easier to hide things in it.

The Soviets did like to put anthrax warheads on their ICBMs targeted at cities and I suppose those won't have any distinctive emissions signature. But then again keeping anthrax spores alive in space with the thermal cycling and radiation can't be easy.

EDIT: But then again anthrax is a strictly counter-value rather can counter-force weapons. You would hypothetically put warheads in space for a quick counter-force strike so that plan wouldn't make sense.
Hi!

Would you mind characterizing briefly, or giving examples of, the successful projects you've taken on as a freelancer?

I've thought before about trying to go that road, but the fact is, for almost every ml project opportunity I've come across, I would have had to say, "well, I can try out some stuff, and it might prove extremely valuable, but just as likely as not my POC will not perform well enough to use in production".
Tintin, Asterix and Lucky Luke were pretty popular when I was a kid.

> I hope all of the publicity this gets will somehow bring more attention to how much control Apple exerts over the iOS app ecosystem...

Me too!

> ...and maybe bring change there.

And that's where you lost me.

I don't want or need to install iOS apps outside of the app store. There's a reason I use iOS devices and what we've seen the past couple days is that reason in full view.
I would highly appreciate several angles, but this is extremely hard to do without falling into the "we respect all points of view no matter what" type of stuff.

For example, I would be interested in listening to a reasonable anti-vaxxer. Not the "vaccines-cause-autism" one, (although this point deserves an honorable mention), but someone with more methodical approach. I know it's hard to find a voice of reason in the choir of conspiracists, but who said making good press should be easy?

I also would be interested in listening to a good flat-earther. I see it as a very good mental exercise for the reader: if I had now knowledge about the shape of our planet, could I actually tell the truth from the false here?

Same goes for climate (non)changers, Russian hackers and so on.
There are subtle differences between 3D printing types that seem at first to be the same.

Stereolithography is horizontal, one layer at a time, and uses photopolymerization (that's Formlabs). (Also Digital Light Processing is close but distinct: https://formlabs.com/blog/3d-printing-technology-comparison-...)

Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) also uses photopolymerization, but pulls the object from a liquid bath and uses a buffer zone. Still horizontal slices. The upshot is it's much faster. (Carbon 3D is the company behind this.)

The method in the article uses photopolymerization to solidify the object as a set of slices, but the slices are not horizontal.

The big drawback to photopolymerization is it only works on certain resins which can often have undesirable mechanical properties (high elasticity or brittlness, for e.g.) Potentially this method could be a way forward in that respect, because you might be able to put structural materials in the resin solution and end up with a composite. It seems easier to do this way than with CLIP or SLA/DLP, but I'm purely speculating.
How do you define pragmatic? Apache Groovy is still under active development. We've actually started using it more for green-field development where I work.

Of course getting people to pay twice for the same thing is more profitable. It is also far less sustainable in a competitive market.

It's basically reinventing an LLP business. Operating a home or family has a business aspect to it, and a single spouse is great for providing a backup income, labor, and obviously to help procreate. However, even a single spouse comes at a cost of adding politics to the business, just like adding a business partner would. And the more business partners you add, the more politics you get.
This is much faster.
Are there numbers? The trend from what I understand is exactly the opposite. The US has passed 40% of births to unmarried mothers [1], so we're approaching a default family of 1 adult. (Possibly 1 adult present + some percentage of another's earning power, enforced by the courts, but still.)

Not exactly true that advertising allows publishers not to pander to a specific audience. A couple times every year we see advertiser boycotts demanding some host be fired because he or she said something a part of the audience didn’t like.

Ad supported news is a real shit show. It’s what got us CNN and Fox. They’ve effectively segmented the audience so people hear what they want to and tightened up the demographic for ads. They have to keep people watching and clicking so they can serve up another ad. How do you do that? Get them fired up over some controversy on a regular basis and tell them what they want to hear in between controversies.

I don't see why you say that french BD follow the same fate as some of the other things you talk about.

From personal experience, growing up in India we always had either Astérix or Tintin to read. Even some of the lesser known works such as those by Giroud were available.

Now that I have been living and working in France for 6 years, one possible reason for this lack of penetration of french products is the language. There is very little effort to actually make the products accessible to the world at large. Now we may discuss the merits and demerits of this but the fact remains that if we want our products to be known all over the world, we have to make it known to the world. And most of the world speaks English.

Mes deux centimes.
There's a minimum amount of energy required for the process to happen. Below that, it can not. Above it, things can happen but how often depends on the intensity of the light. Increasing intensity will make it happen a lot more often. Some parts will receive far more light then others, making the polymerization progress far enough to actually build a solid object while the rest of the volume is illuminated little enough for the resin to basically stay liquid. (Remember that you need to shine into the container, therefore illuminating liquid that you do not actually want to polymerize but need to shine through to reach the material that should. A sort of collateral-damage if you like). The remaining liquid material is removed but will still contain partially polymerized material that's not grown large enough to actually behave like a solid.
That's interesting! So how does this regulating work exactly?

That's the only comment you have on a detailed technical post that spans several pages?

This is not a snide remark. The site is habr.com, which is a Russian resource. So what you perceive is an offensive faux pas, is just a dry and cynical joke of a kind very common to the IT people of the former Soviet Union space. It's not a terribly funny joke, nor do I personally like this brand of humor, but it's clearly not made in bad spirit or meant to offend.
I disagree. Most issues are in fact not best viewed through a lens of two equal and opposing "sides". Multiple opinions are meaningless (or in fact a net-negative) if those opinions aren't factually grounded.
There's no need for such a dichotomy.

How about we live simpler lives and yet become wealthier?

"firing solution" is a set of numbers that describes how you get the ordnance there. It's a gunnery term.

Tiny market share. With USB3, at least you can have video capture dongles with reasonable resolution. I know for HDMI they're quite common, but I'd assume someone makes a VGA version too.
That's not mainstream and won't ever be. It's kinda sensationalism. I thinks such low-effort "ideas" are republished once in 10 years. This maybe happens somewhere, but in general it's just noise.

Nah only regulations will work from a tragedy of the commons situation. Look at Spam email - that shit is clogging systems and leading to a relatively massive overhead. Because they can make 1/100th of a penny at 1/1000 a penny in cost they will just keep on doing it indefinitely - damn the externalities.

I am very unimpressed by targeted advertising - it seems to be more a metamarketing thing since clients think they are getting more while the suggestions only gather enough to be creepy and useless compared to "what am I looking at right now?". I accidentally managed to flip Youtube ads gender targetting in a ham fisted way once in a week despite me telling them already.
I believe OpenBSD does most of these things. The primary problem is that security is a tradeoff -- for instance OpenBSD completely disabled hyperthreading when it was discovered to be fundamentally insecure. That was a 50% performance hit right off the bat -- not everyone can afford to make such a tradeoff.

Maybe you have a different idea of what snide is. I don't think it's 'offensive' I just think it's a bit nasty. Why can't they talk about their work without saying that what someone else does isn't work? What's the need for it? What does it add? This is 'snide' to me - derogatory and mocking.

Oh yeah, I had a very similar childhood story growing up in old Yugoslavia, I loved Mister No and Martin Mystere. It's really strange how Bonelli's comics got super popular in Balkans and Turkey, but are much less known in the rest of Europe. Also Max Bunker's Alan Ford has a cult status in Balkans, it's probably the best known and the most quoted comic book in a popular culture here, but no one heard of it pretty much anywhere outside ex-Yugoslavia region.

It sounds crazy to me that Franquin's masterworks (Gaston and Idées Noires) were not yet translated in English yet ! For sure it would not appeal to US mass market but certainly there is also a small connoisseur market out there ?
There are two huge factors, the first even more potent than the second.

First, there is much more information per sample and per pixel. Normals, depth, separate diffuse color, separate diffuse texture, first bounce normal, first bounce position, etc. There is a technique that just uses color, but uses histograms of all the samples within a pixel.

Second, for a video game you can accumulate samples temporally. Many of these demos will use one sample per pixel, but filtering information can be kept on every frame and reused to some degree.
Because you have more leverage: No "raise", no work. At your current company "No raise" _only_ means an increased risk of you leaving.
I'm not sure that sampling would work in this case. There's a real risk, IMO, of ending up with sampling bias.

For example, some communities are very anti-solar and the local "homeowners" association blocks them. Others are favorable and approve them everywhere having relatively high density.

Maybe there's a way to account for this, but I'm afraid that the clustering of installs might cause issues.

EDIT: And, to go to your final point, yes, I suspect one goal is to be able to provide really accurate data at a zip code level. I can imagine lots of useful reasons for that, some related to what I said above, too.
FT is probably the highest quality newspaper in the world. They do charge a premium though.
Oh, I'm not claiming it's a large national movement. I'm sure the numbers are tiny, well under 1%. Also, coliving is confined to urban areas.

The main reason I brought up coliving was as a counterexample to the claim that multi-couple cohabitation could never work. Even though the number of participants is currently quite low, there are thousands of people successfully living like this even in modern America.

One intriguing proposal to limit domain name squatting is "Harberger Taxation"[1]

Under this scheme, every owner of a domain would declare a value for the domains they own, and pay a percentage of that value as a tax (replacing the current annual registration fees).

Owners are incentivized to post an accurate value for their domain because they must sell their domain for the price they list if anyone offers to buy at that price.

While it makes sense in theory, I think there are some practical problems that would have to be addressed before such a system could be put into use. For example, what stops a company with a large bankroll from squashing competitors by purchasing their domain?
