I may have missed it, but do we know the battery is split in 2?

Personally, I would make one half of the device be 100% battery, and the other half hold all of the remaining components.

I'm not sure what the effect of that would be in terms of weight balancing, though. I'm not a hardware guy. I wouldn't be surprised if this led to the battery half being significantly heavier and feeling more substantial.

Still, seems like there are options beyond splitting the battery in half.

Solid points otherwise, though. Could you imagine have the screen wearing out faster than the other? That'd be a nightmare to look at.

The law doesn't block fair use, but the only way for content platforms to be compliant is rampant overfiltering which will kill fair use.
Yes, I was slightly disappointed to discover this fact.

From the title, I thought it would be something I'd be able to run semi-automatically on a neural net (presumably defined in a standard / widely-used format like a Tensorflow net) and have it spit out a nice diagram.

Don't get me wrong, this still seems super-useful. It's just not what I expected.

But hey, we are using IMAP and Mail which is already in the picture.
> i'd argue that the Matrix.org Foundation is just as 'recognized' as the XMPP Standards Foundation :)

Recognized by whom? The XSF has standardized their core in IETF. Is there something similar for Matrix.org Foundation?

> trying to solve existing problems using new approaches is how things evolve.

What new approaches? You're just recreating federated IM network using different wire format. How on earth is it innovative or new? Using HTTP+JSON instead of TCP+XML is something new? Bridging to other IM networks is something innovative?

> Matrix is an entirely different type of technology to IRC or XMPP. It's more similar to NNTP or Git than either IRC or XMPP.

I've heard this argument many times already, but the truth is that XMPP formally speaking is de juro an "XML routing protocol", but both XMPP and Matrix de facto are being used largely as IM protocols.

> For better or worse, trying to solve existing problems using new approaches is how things evolve.

Since you invented nothing new, you evolve nothing.
Android doesn't request the permission, the app does (via the app manifest) While that is the stated reason, that really isn't a legitimate reason for a remote control app to require location as it might not even work in all network scenarios. (i.e. the device in question may not be using a wifi network the phone can see/use)

Keep in mind that many things including trivial flashlight apps have a history of wanting location access. There's usually a pretext in the form of some questionable/marginal feature that's used as a justification for the permission. Often after some digging the real reason becomes apparent in the form of data collection or an included ad serving library.

For example, I have a 'smart' thermostat which has an app that requests location access. I deny it and it still works. There's at least one feature they use to justify requesting it but I suspect that if there weren't other uses (having nothing to do with benefiting me) for location data that the feature requiring location data probably wouldn't even exist.
Nobody complaining about the law has actually read the law. Julia Reda doesn't want you to read the law she's opposed to, she wants you to be opposed to it based on the "link tax" and "upload filter" nicknames that have been coined for it.

In a very simplified example, a client instance (e.g. the Navigation process) will create a 3D scene and "publish" it within the connected RAMSES applications (e.g. the renderer of each HMI).

These renderers will "subscribe" to the published scene and show it on the screen.

Yeah, they're about the worst I've encountered. Good luck finding any privacy controls, or opting out of anything. Clicking into the pages that claim to contain these just sends you down a warren of links, mostly taking you to the parent website where there's another warren of links.

That's exactly correct - we're trying to partner with facilities as much as possible. On the other side - we're also trying partner with pharma companies to help find prospective patients for their trials. It's a really exciting time to be in this field since we're finally able to deliver on the promise of CGP, at scale, and at a reasonable cost. I'm just a software engineer but I find this stuff really cool!
That book was a huge exaggeration. It's central thesis was that most things that that are felonies are larger scale versions of minor acts (like battery is unwabtedt touching, so supposedly you could be convicted for bumping someone on a subway, and since the law accounts for mens rea, anyone could be party to a crime if the crime occurred and the judge/jury believe it was intentional. What's the alternative, to make any crime legal as long as the perpetrator has a partner and they both blame each other for being the mastermind?

Your example of people who very clearly commuted major crimes, but could have avoided punishment, is the opposite of your thesis. very few people steal over a million dollars.
Vid Effect: Church of Britney
I'm sure the price comes from a lack of scale.

The creators of this should consider something like massdrop.com to see if they can generate sufficient interest to get the prices within a reasonable range. The "Crazy Circuits Makerspace Set"[0] is just about an order of magnitude more costly than I would consider "cheap" for such a kit.

That said, as someone who had a lot of fun with Snapcircuits as a child, I agree that this would have been a great way to transition from something that is essentially a "toy" to full blown bread-board tinkering.

I think his point is not about comparison, but of the media putting a 'spin' on the way a news item is presented to make it more in line with their own entrenched positions, and the ethicality of their doing it.

Even considering the huge uproar about fake news, etc that the media is crying hoarse over, they seem reluctant to reform their own practices like reductive and sensationalist head line writing, and change to a more plainspeaking reportage.
Again, Europe is many different legal systems, and blasphemy laws are not everywhere. I don't like that limitation to freedom of speech anymore than you, but all countries, including the US have limitations such as libel, slander, pornography, obscenity, etc.
I can see why you are being downvoted, but you are right, France isn't a very reasonable country. France has some of the most absurd, protectionist, socialist, anti-market laws the world has ever seen. Hopefully they are getting the message that their stodgy old world socialist world-view is self-defeating and unproductive.

America has some problems, but there's a reason why they have a GDP 40x larger than France with only 5x the population.

So does rejection of civility and politeness. Those who would marginalize or oppress others always start by placing them outside the sphere of social conventions, then complain about "political correctness" and "tone policing" when they're called on their behavior toward anyone not of their own tribe.

SSID's pretty much ARE tied to geo, and those that aren't tied are easy to identify. The basic tech is known to both major players [1,2]. First you crowdsource as much of the data collection as you can: various apps can collect both SSID, BT, etc. sightings and report them with GPS. So you have a giant DB of locations vs network IDs. Then you tag any network ID which appears at differing locations: it's somehow mobile for whatever reason. The untagged ones are not mobile and probably dependable indications of location to within a few dozen meters. If they do move, they get tagged at your next sweep.

Staging is complex and depends on many factors.

But roughly you have pathologic staging (microarchitecture, genetics, etc.) and anatomical/clinical staging (size, laterality, lymph nodes, etc.). Those are distinct.

So what you say is not completely incorrect, but it's not really correct either.

There have been many philosophical (and practical) conversations over the years that have lead to the development of a rich and varied frontend development ecosystem.

If you're building a frontend system, you need to consider the overall (macro) view, as well as the detail oriented (micro) view.

It's very difficult to do this with CSS in JS because of the compromises that need to be made to work in this way.

Yes, that is true.

But so far this one has done a good job at that. The first thing they do is even try to convince you that entrepreneurship isn't the most profitable path. The statistically best path is to work at an early stage company. But if you have a certain kind of insane resolve, then they'll guide you down it.

I think 'partial' success does get celebrated though, sort of like Reddit. Again, this is something seed investors do far better than Series C investor types.

The patterns are still pretty similar, as a good deal of this covers the path from idea to "ramen profitable".

The parsed format in tape.md is quite close to the flatbuffer format. Flatbuffer can encode any json file just fine. The parse time is immediate and requires no extra memory.

It’s a great way to store big json files where you only want to access a subset of data very quickly and not load the whole file into memory.

Easily solved:

- sketch out the new design

- add the UX interview report as supporting evidence to the design

- send the design (rather than the report) to the manager.

Total reversal of the situation. You have documented evidence of your proactive approach.

The truth of the matter is that this woman said Mohammed was a paedophile for fucking a 9 year old (which is even correct according to the Quran). She was convicted in Austria for blasphemy. The EU said the conviction was correct.

This should be terrifying to anybody who supports free speech. The ECHR is supposed to be a human rights court but they are allowing member states to convict people for blasphemy.

I've dug into that topic a bit. The summary is if you're a German resident OR you're making a website aimed at German residents, you might be successfully sued. Where is it hosted, or whether it is in German at all doesn't matter much.

There is of course always an option to use anonymous hosting and make it hard to identify you from the website content. Then people whose business is to sue other people on the internet will probably leave you alone. But that also destroys the social value of your page.

Of the $550 million, I wonder how much of it is in materials cost and how much of it is in penalties paid to renegotiate delivery dates for the affected customers.
No, it really isn't the same as the UK. For a start, the ability for backbenchers to propose laws isn't merely theoretical - they actually do it, and occasionally some of them become laws. This isn't possible even in theory in the EU. Also, our ministers are all elected politicians who can be voted out, and they have to defend their proposed laws on the record in the Commons just like the lowliest backbencher.

> The commission president stood as the candidate for the largest grouping in 2014. Personally I'd have preferred it if ALDE and Guy Verhofstadt had received the most support, but EPP did, and our MEPs duely voted Juncker in. Just like the UK MPs voted in May as PM, or the U.S. electoral college voted in Trump. That's pretty transparent.

The largest grouping in 2014, the EPP, had a mere 29% of the seats. The US electoral college can only select a president if a majority of the electors support him, and the same is more or less true of UK prime ministers. Also, MEPs aren't elected based on which candidate they support or even which political grouping they're a member of: they're elected based on which local political party they're part of. This all makes the selection process pretty arbitrary in practice, with the main thing influencing it being how exactly the actual political parties have allied themselves into factions this time around.

FWIW, I work out of a wework near my house in Shanghai. I’m a software engineer in my 30’s. Our office is on the other side of the city from where I live, and takes over an hour on the subway to get there. I don’t need to be there physically, so I arranged with my boss to work from home 4 days a week. But working from home is tough, so I work instead from the wework around the corner from my house. Your mileage may vary, but I see tons of people doing real work there. Plenty of early stage startups, but also plenty of more established businesses, even outside of tech. A guy on my floor moved his consulting company office there because the price was comparable to commercial real estate, and the convenience and flexibility were great.

I think that's all evidence based medicine can really do. It's just a series of "well, people with high blood pressure tend to die early" and "people with high cholesterol have heart attacks". I don't know how they would approach it differently - if it was assumed that everyone was different with entirely different baselines, I don't know how it would be possible to make any sort of predictive assumptions. Really, the best solution would be to increase the granularity of the samples, but that's all they can do, develop more diverse pools of generalizations.

This is why the strategy aspect of this gets kept very quiet by R-tech, JS, etc.
It probably does, giving a small contribution to the "atmosphere" of the moon. A cubic centimeter of lunar atmosphere contains about 10^6 particles (compared to 10^19 on Earth), and according to the article, the Earth's geocorona at that point only has 0.2 particles per cubic centimeter.

Of course, the lunar atmosphere is constantly being stripped away as well.
