You can't just slap a 25 sign on a stretch of road where 90% of people feel like 30 is reasonable 90% of the time and expect people to go 25. Without Orwellian enforcement that does not work, not enough people will comply with the new limit. You need to make people actually feel like 25 is the right speed to go. Allowing on street parking on one side (less space for lanes) planting trees on the sidewalk (visually narrower), tuning traffic lights to create congestion , narrower lane markings and all sorts of other things can do that. You can try Orwellian enforcement but that will not fly in any American city (though it may take longer to crash and burn in some cities than others).

MD-6 never gained popularity and was eliminated early in the SHA-3 competition since it lacked proofs that it could resist differential attacks.

Microsoft are quite correct to use SHA-2 (conservative choice) but SHA-3 would also be fine. Bringing up MD-6 at all seems arbitrary.
Actually SPARK is going to have an ownership model as well.

They call this illicit but actually, this to me seems to be a valid use of the technology. The only reason Apple has to prevent this is to maintain the walled garden.
What a tragedy that would be to catch it, find that it was created by some extrasolar intelligence, but it's been destroyed.
Both of these POVs are a bit extreme versus actual real-life implementation.

Police have a legitimate, important societal purpose, and have historically abused and over-surveilled minority populations in a way that's highly problematic.

There's a compelling use case for facial recognition in law enforcement. There's also a compelling case that it needs to be closely scrutinized and regulated.
The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that this structure we call reality is circles on circles on circles. It seems trivial to me to prove that there can be no start or end to reality, ergo no creator.

I've had some pretty profoundly comforting spiritual experiences in my life, but never one that involved a creator. Much more a realization that there is no time, no place, just a roaring hubbub cycling round and round because it's just so fun to spin.
Some are saline (salt) based instead of chlorine.
Ironically, not drinking the kool-aid makes you toxic.

And managers are technically workers too. There's no reason to put them in an ivory tower and assume they can't hate their job, hate people they work with or want to exact revenge for some wrong done against them.

There is probably a lot of merit in the advantages of vectors but it weakens the article to set them up as against SIMD when the presented facts are dubious at best:

> An architect partitions the existing 64-bit registers

> The IA-32 instruction set has grown from 80 to around 1400 instructions since 1978, largely fueled by SIMD.

Wait, what. IA-32 started in 1985 not 1978. It didn't have any existing 64 bit registers. It was called IA-32 because of the 32 bit registers, like EAX and EBX. And then looking at the 1986 reference manual https://css.csail.mit.edu/6.858/2014/readings/i386.pdf I count 96 instructions under 17.2.2.11. The IA-32 instruction set didn't grow much all these years, IA-64 did to the best my knowledge but please let me know if I am wrong here. As for IA-64, I looked at https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents... and it's hard to get an accurate count because some instructions are grouped together, it's either 627 or 996 (and I may have made a counting mistake given I started from a PDF, but it should be close) which is indeed very high but even our best attempt only finds a tenfold growth (and perhaps only a 6.5) instead of the 17.5 the article suggested.
Can't say I agree. I played Dota 2 during the earlier part of the beta, a little after the first International. I also played a good deal of League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth. At that invite-only stage it was almost certainly nowhere near as bad as either of those games by a fair margin. Players were in fact reasonably friendly and helpful oftentimes, where in the same situation HoN players would be non stop berating you and calling for a surrender at 20 (the classic action RTS experience). And while I slowly noticed more angry players over time, it never fully deteriorated to that HoN level until after rankings were introduced.
Why the need for a writer? The ML should be able to produce scripts of equal quality.
I would like to ask the question the other way around. Now I've been using systemd for a while and gotten used to it I can't image wanting to replace systemd with a collection of scripts.

Maybe systemd is not objectively better or worse. But I'm at least glad there is a standard among Linux systems so I only have to learn the quirks of one init system.
I have a pi-hole running on a Digital Ocean Droplet and have a secure vpn to that. Both run out of docker containers, so theoretically they could run anywhere. It works great and only costs me $5/month. No ads anymore either, and I figure DO probably doesn't care too much about my web traffic - though maybe I'm wrong on that.

The only thing that is slightly annoying is that the iPhone seems to drop the VPN from time to time. If only there was a way to work that out....

KP raised my already insane Obamacare premium by almost 20% this year though.
It's just "the way it's done" in an aging industry without much incentive for innovation/change. Why risk time and money on a new chlorine-free product when 98% of your customers are happily paying for what you already stock?
If the costs are one-off costs, then probably. However, for any services that result in ongoing costs to maintain, it'll mean Yet Another Subscription Service, for which there is already a high amount of fatigue and animosity towards.
It doesn't have to be a $10/hr contractor even - it could be a $500,000 per year MD.

For instance, for years, people recommended a high carb/low fat diet. Now that's being challenged. (I'm not weighing in on the argument, just stating that it is one.)

How many other topics are out there that face the same issues of being labeled "fringe" before being commonly accepted?

My wife and I are 47 and love it. Our teenage kids enjoyed it when we watched it with them recently. My dad, a boomer, actually doesn’t care all that much for it. It happens to be a good story irrespective of when you were a child or young adult. Shrug.
One thing not noted in the article is the psychological toll working a job like bus driver takes if its the peak of your professional life.

Its slightly demeaning for people with well respected jobs that are intellectually demanding to step down from their position and enjoy the simplicity and directness of a job like bus driver. They will not have the weight of inadequacy that most people in low skill occupations carry.
Actually we would.

For example, even though I am not a big fan of Go, I have to use it when customers required us to deal with Docker or K8S.

Just like I have my issues with C, but would certainly use it when writing an UNIX driver.

Programming languages are products, and get used because of the eco-systems they carry along, bullet point features are usually secondary to that.
I bring this up everytime a comment like this comes up...

You can't just blindly compare flops numbers like this. Hitting 13tflops on a GPU implies data has long been loaded into GPU global memory and tons of computations happen on it.

Not to mention you're limited to 16GB at a time on a Radeon VII and you'd need to either use OpenCL or RoCM which is time consuming.

Fact is, GPUs are great for a minority of workloads (definitely not most) that are very computationally intense but not memory heavy. As soon as you have lots of reductions, etc. where threads will wait a CPU will also be a much better choice.

Seawater salt is NaCl after all.
Saltwater pools still use a chlorine generator so they aren't chlorine free.

But probably not corn or any of the other staple crops. It's going to be hard to get the same yields of those without using modern industrial monoculture techniques.

On the whole they are much safer.

You're completely correct. You'd have to be watching that frequency continuously. Fortunately, there's another way...

Nonlinear junction detectors can find semiconductor things, be they powered on OR off. Long story short, you blanket an area with GHz rf, and then look at the harmonics of the freq you spray it with.

I can see how to create one with a 2.4GHz transmitter and a DSP. I know the prices Ive seen are in the thousands of $$$, in which it's not terribly complex. The hardware would probably cost around a few hundred, primarily cause DSPs are $$$$

Biking on a windy road with no shoulder is like swimming in a harbor. If you turn a blind corner and there's an oncoming car and a bike in your lane you need exceptional reflexes to avoid and accident.

Most roads were designed for cars not bikes. I'm all for bike Lanes, but there should be a minimum speed limit on roads too. It's similarly not safe to be going 5mph on a 35mph road.
I guess the ML doesn't read the news, as there was a recent release stating that movies with strong female leads make more money [0]. Seems like the ML would figure that out, and lean heavily against 'rugged male action lead' dominate movies.

Unfortunately, just like with municipal support of car culture, lawns and their upkeep are often written into municipal bylaws. That's not even getting into HOAs and how restrictive their lawn policies can be - often having requirements down to which species of grass[1] you're allowed to use. Finally there's communal pressure from neighbours, who will give you the stink eye if the weeds from your wild lawn even might encroach onto their manicured grass.

Should this list filter companies that are shutdown or have been acquired and no longer have an active product? Many of the links are "our incredible journey" acquihire announcements or just 404. I understand and appreciate the value of having a list of all developer services companies that have gone through YC, but as a developer resource page it's annoying to see a product that might fit my needs but is long shutdown.

I don't know what they're teaching at psych school but it should include a single class on "researching all the shit your ADHD and depression patients, who will be your most common patients, have to look up on their own."

So, knowledge of all the treatments to depression, from ssris (and what they do to you) through diet and exercise, meditation, mindfulness, etc. Basically Try Harder.

Maybe I was just unlucky?

> This is a battle they lost decades ago. Product liability laws have been on our books for more than a century, and the general gist is that everyone from the owner to the manufacturer is jointly and severally liable to various degrees depending on the circumstances of the failure.

If the battle was lost, where's Tesla wrt to the deaths caused by autopilot? Or was the manufacturer's disclaimer enough to blame the dead operators?
...well, a counterargument would be, if you never do anything that requires such fast speeds, the extra $10 per month isn’t worthwhile regardless of the percent increase.

By extension, if the customer increased their speed and didn’t notice a difference, than either the speed is the same OR the extra speed was never needed to begin with.

Mind you, none of this excuses Comcast! Also, the placebo effect is powerful. I recall a time my father upgraded his internet plan, and then marveled at how much “faster” Google Chrome’s new tab page opened...
Bromine is basically the same thing, Ozone can cause respiratory issues. I haven't seen an alternative that was demonstrably better.

I've always wanted a product that you could add to the swimming pool water that reacts to human urine by coloring the water immediately surrounding the pee-er. Say a neon orange or red. Over time, the colored water gets diluted and disappears. Maybe pee-shaming is what's required to stop people from doing it.
Perhaps an obvious insight: the author found considerably more success by attaching his idea to something that was mutually agreed upon. Even a mountain of data was fruitless when posed in a confrontational manner.

I imagine this is broadly applicable anytime you are trying to win someone over on an idea. I've noticed that for politically charged ideas it's difficult to make progress because people attach their identity to their opinion. But maybe this is just broadly the case, just more noticeable with politics where opinions are strongly held. In any case as the author noticed it's difficult to make any progress without rooting it in something other people already believe.
It's been pointed out already, but a little more info: There is a fairly large (and growing, actually) community of BBSers in the modern area. Telnet is even slowing being pushed out in favor of SSH and/or secure WebSockets (BBS from your browser!) in addition to other crypto and related tech where it can apply. There are boards running on retro hardware, under emulators, and even quite a few modern BBS software being written (disclaimer: I'm the author of one in Node.js).

There is a lot of nostalgia, but also a lot of people enjoy time away from the modern corporate controlled web. A text-mode interface, community, etc. is quite nice at times.
A way around this could be to use split tunnel filtering VPN. Filter only DNS and route regular tcp traffic normally.

I don’t know of any places where native lawns are actually against the law, but the parent might mean “against the terms of the HOA”, which is effectively the same thing since HOAs can levy fines and in some cases evict you if you don’t follow the rules. Most HOAs have strict policies stating that you must have the kind of perfect all-American lawn that is at issue here... just one more reason why they should all be destroyed.
Pretty great article. This characteristic that many patients have multiple disorders is an interesting point. Reminded me of my real world PCA applications which were never satisfying. In such a case you'd take the attributes of answers to questions in a population, and then get principle components (PCs) to these vectors of examples. Who says that each example in a population has to be dominated by 1 principle component? Many people have the view that PCs are just whatever linear combinations of attributes that explain your data, and I've seen many people try to name them in ways that encapsulate the attributes that each PC selects for, but it always seems like an awkward exercise after you get past the first few PCs.

And of course, I'm not literally saying this SCID is the attributes to the DSM "PCA," or any other subspace method.
I don't work with subspace methods often, so if anyone wants to fill me in on what is done in the medical world (or other high stakes domains) in practice, much appreciated.

In cases of segmenting customers and then targeting each one differently, I have found that subspace methods work well for raising typical startup metrics. But the interpretability was not cut and dry in my experience, something that obviously is needed when you work with individuals like Doctors, not populations like many companies.

My guess is that the DSM segments patients to different treatments though. If this is the case then it does't really matter what the name of the constellation is as long as after they send the patient there, everything is hunky dory.
Even less common knowledge, it’s not just right on red, it’s turning any time you wouldn’t cross a lane going an unrelated direction.

To wit, left turns from one one-way street onto another one-way street are also allowed on red (if you’re not in NYC).
It wasn't listed in tech specs, but it was never hidden or kept secret. It probably could have been more explicitly detailed, but in the FAQs for the Nest Secure it even tells the user:

> Can Nest Secure detect breaking glass? No. We’re working on bringing glass break detection to Nest Guard, the main hub of Nest Secure. Nest Detect, the open/close motion sensor, doesn’t have a microphone, so it can’t detect breaking glass. But its motion sensors can detect movement by intruders as well as when a door or window opens and closes depending on how it's installed.

Relating to the current deep RL hotness... If I'm training a network to control a walker/swimmer, will simply adding a penalty on energy expenditure, on top of whatever the goal may be (e.g. maximise forwards distance), lead to underactuation?

You can just submit TLS certificate revocation and web would stop working pretty quickly with most modern browsers. Or get them removed from DNS network for a quick death.

The problem is, morals are relative - one country/judge/group of people can find something breaking the local law, while being OK somewhere else, ie in place of actual location of servers.

Who will decide what is OK to punish and what not? Half of the world would have issues with western (ie US) view on things, we can say the same about west vs some african/arab dictatorship.
exactly. The ego serves a purpose. It has a lot to teach us about how we perceive ourselves, others and reality. Not only can you not "kill" it (people who claim to have "transcended" the ego still eat food :p ), but trying to will just result in the flip side of the same coin. The solution is integration, not destruction. As Buddhism says, the answer lies in "the middle way".

I don't know how much that stuff costs, but chlorine is pretty cheap and easy to deal with. A bucket will last me almost 6 months and is like a hundred bucks. I shove some tablets into my chlorinator and it just works.

It's easy to find pool companies who know how to deal with chlorine, and there's a wealth of information online on dealing with a chlorine pool. None of that exists for esoteric pool treatments.

My mother has a wild lawn, dominated by ferns, moss, wildflowers and other nifty things. This replaced the previous owner’s typically sterile American lawn. When she first moved in a few decades ago there wasn’t much in the way of wildlife. Now she has deer wandering around, rabbits, turkeys, frogs, snakes, hawks, and more bees than you can shake a stick at.

I really believe that one relatively simple and cosmetic personal choices we make can have a huge impact on our local environment, and by extension the broader one.
Isn't that the point of the study? The system is broken if individually productive but net counterproductive people are labeled "achievers" and promoted.
GitHub Best Practices
As an iOS developer, we get crash reports from the buggy ad libraries injected by these app stores all the time. Googling the injected library names actually come up with surprisingly few results (mostly from the pirate community itself like /r/sideloaded) so I don't know how many developers are aware of this
