SHOCKING.

I'll admit, I'm not a quantum doctor or anything, but this article reads very click-baity, and a bit tame for QM? This isn't some abstract new idea... The theory this one was built upon was proposed in the 60's and seems to run in-line with all other QM material I've read. Nothing SHOCKING here.

Please correct me if this is some giant breakthrough and I'm just too dense to get it.
Are you referring to Google's hardware division? If you are that doesn't really mean much.

Most schools aren't buying fleets of Pixelbooks. They're buying chromebooks from companies like Acer and Asus which make devices that retail in the $200-400 range.
Creating a release, tar+gz'ng my huge archive, splitting the entire tar.gz into 2GiB chunks, uploading all of them. Yeah. Then download all chunks when needed with a small bash script.
5) Browser APIs/features and performance are continually improving, allowing for rich experiences in web applications.

The advantages of web applications, especially from the viewpoint of the developer/company, outweigh the advantages of native applications in more and more cases.
This is great. Another killer feature might be exporting songs as structured documents suitable for git.
I mostly agree, but I do think there is a role for local government to play, as local governments tend to have more access to local information. But local government should not have the ability to be exclusionary. In other words, the state should decide how much housing, office, etc. cities must allow to be built, and cities can choose where to put it, as well as establishing reasonable height limits and so forth as long as they actually zone for the amount of building the state has mandated.

In theory, this is how the system is supposed to work here in California. We have the statewide Regional Housing Needs Allocation, which is a kind of statewide zoning that sets targets for cities, which can then zone as they want to meet those targets. Unfortunately RHNA is not enforced, and there are too many loopholes that let cities circumvent their legal obligations. The Housing Accountability Act closes some of those loopholes, but not enough. :(
Airbnb definitely has become a great example in the 'if you don't regulate yourself as an industry you will become regulated whether you want to or not.' Unlike some of the dynamics in some of the other industries the people that airbnb exploits are individuals who rent/own property and every new airbnb host is effectively having to relearn every problem and potential pitfall/cost that hoteliers or seasoned short-term rental property owners have already solved and priced accordingly. I feel like people don't give enough criticism of Uber/Lyft/Airbnb of them profiting off people who aren't properly evaluating their expenses as a business. Most of what they offer probably should be more expensive than what they end up being but instead because people aren't experienced enough to properly cost things and undervalue what they are providing.
Like the word "Yankee". Both words seem to rub some people the wrong way.
That’s a very strange way to close a highway.

Where are the blinkenlights? The words? The flashing arrows? The plastic jersey barriers?

Can’t tell if this is temporary or long-term closure, but if it’s a multi month thing, I would expect more “Don’t you dare fork to the left” signalling.

The source code of Spring itself. I know Spring internals - there’s no dark magic there and reference guide describes it well. DI is straightforward, MVC - not perfect, but generally easy, Security - well, it has design problems, but they are not related to annotations.

Well, it wasn't really "fixed" -- the driver is still dead.
Can you actually provide any concrete example that demonstrates the patter of dismissal that you're repeatedly mentioning? It's starting to sound an awful lot like weasel words to keep insisting on a thesis that's already been put to rest due to the oveewhelming evidence of the contrary.
koboll ask "what gives someone the right to dictate to their neighbors what they can and can't do with their own property?" he isn't asking for the legal mechanism. He's asking about whether the law is just. That something is the law is not a good argument alone.
I'm speaking to the jquery example. 99% of howtos have instructed people to pull from CDN because everybody (probably) already has it. It has been conventional wisdom for a long, long time.

I just checked, and googling "jquery cdn faster" brings up plenty of examples.
Scary... software developers at these robotic cars and their mistakes/bugs aren’t just going to bring down a business application(lose money) but kill their customers and innocent drivers.

Progress to where it’s safer is going to be a killer and we the drivers on the road are unwilling guinea pigs to billionaires’ dreams/goals.
Elsewhere I've read MCAS does take altitude into account, as well as flaps, i.e. it's only active above a certain altitude, and only when flaps are retracted. So... yeah, we don't have the full story. And also in another thread, it's reported from the flight prior to Lion Air 610 (same plane) there were airspeed and altitude disagreements. I'm not at all clear from available reporting whether airspeed, altitude, and angle of attack were inconsistent, if that was a source of either autopilot confusion, and then pilot confusion, whether pilots did set stabilizer trim to cutoff and when and whether it was too late.

I'm a pilot (former CFII) and the whole automation fail danger strikes me as terrible. John Q Public says "I want the automation to override the pilot's mistakes!" What? OK fine. What about Asiana Airlines Flight 214 where the pilot advanced throttles, an explicit intent input, and yet autothrottles were set so the automation said nope. And then John Q Public are all, well the pilot should have KNOWN!

It's like it's a game where the pilot is only there as the last resort to be blamed if they too fail, even after a sequence of automation failures. Automation betraying pilots at low altitude is in my view functionally equivalent to an in-flight breakup. And automation in the cockpit mentality in the face of failures has been, for 20+years, "add another button, add another feature, add another routine" to tack on all the others.

And yes this absolutely makes me think of autonomous driving as total b.s. Airplanes are in a standardized system, with far bigger budgets for automation and yet we still have to fall back to human pilots for routine procedures like parking, taxiing, VFR approaches and landings, and telling the automation literally every detail it needs to do, ATC communication. It's ripe for end to end automation and yet we still don't do that. Driving cars is wildly more complicated for automation: non-standard streets, paint, signage, laws, pedestrian behavior, bicycles, cars still driven by humans, weather - haha. Sounds nice, great idea, keep trying, but it's complete bullshit.
I agree. It was just the one thing that kinda struck me as a bit off. My experiences with that age range and my experiences being that age range are such that that's not something really on our minds at that age. The only thing a conventionally-schooled 8th grader knows and can remember is being in school. (Not quite the same age range, but I told my 2nd grader that I use math a lot at work and I'm pretty sure that there was at least a period of time where he thought I basically go to work every day and do addition problems... I'm still not sure that's not necessarily the subconscious view he has.)
When I first started using go I also was a bit annoyed at the fact that I had to have everything in my gopath, particularly when I forked a repo as none of the paths would lead to my fork.

I've since started to also organize all of my code the gopath way and I just set $GOPATH to $HOME. When forking I just add a new remote and work out of the upstream repo, which seems saner now as it reduces object duplication.

I don't know if I will ever move away from organizing my node this way if I can help it.

I don't know if I've run into this yet, though the only project[0] I've used gomod with has a makefile so it might do something to handle it.

On the other hand, there are a lot of things that were improved:

- Slightly higher resolution (1080×1200 per-eye -> 1,280×1,440 per-eye)

- Inside-out tracking

- Guardian can be set up via video passthrough

- More comfortable halo head strap (better weight distribution, more surface area)

- Wider lens sweet spot

- Fewer god rays (better lenses)

- Less pronounced screen door effect (better lenses, RGB-stripe subpixel layout)

- Low-latency stereo-corrected video passthrough (Passthrough+)

- Headphone jack

- Slightly longer cable (4m -> 5m)

Not a huge upgrade of course, but that's probably why they called it the Rift S and not the Rift 2.
Yeah, it looks like Oculus is kind of conceding the high end of the market for now. What would probably be best is to wait another generation or two so I can get even higher resolution, picture quality, and FOV in addition to inside-out tracking.
It's pretty apparent the things that a kid would be embarrassed about are not the same thing I as an adult would be embarrassed about. I'm 20+ years removed from those events in my life where these kids aren't. To them this is recent memory and more importantly still stuff they will get made fun of for. How many people do you know who carried a nickname all throughout middle and high school from one dumb thing they did when they were 8? I know some who still have the dumb nickname 20-30 years after the fact.

This isn't child abuse by any means but it's just incredibly dumb on the parts of the adults around them. By writing/posting about kids you make them public figures and open them up to all the abuse anyone on the internet wants to heap on them. And this is all happening at a time when they are going through painfully awkward transitions and just starting to discover who they are and want to be.

There are absolutely going to be lawsuits about this sooner than you'd think.
This may have to do with the signal power put out by each AirPod. One site in particular has noted that AirPods transmit at power levels equivalent to an Apple Airport base station. I wish there were more data out there corroborating these claims, though.

Note: I own AirPods and use them regularly at the gym. That is to say, I'm not afraid of my own AirPods, but acknowledge that they broadcast pretty loudly.

I have one; I just find the tracking pretty fragile. I often need to set it up again on a weekly basis.
Mechanical clocks need regular (probably daily) winding, and drift by quite a bit per day - as much as a few minutes.

The hordes of people you'd need to employ to maintain such a system might well have been expensive enough to make an installation like this the more economical option. And, given that pocket watches were a very expensive luxury item at the time, having lots of publicly visible clocks might have been a public service that could be justified on grounds such as enabling smoother commerce.
They seem to not know the first thing about them, either.
I moved to my second home, as I left my business and had no particular reason to stay put, and put my main home on the market as an Airbnb. A residential let wasn’t an option as a) I need to stay there from time to time and b) it wouldn’t cover the mortgage.

I’m a by-the-book guy when it comes to business, so registered the place as a guest-house business premises with the council. They even remarked that I was the first Airbnb operator to do this in over a year - and there are over a thousand Airbnbs in town.

Because the place is under a certain rateable value, which is based on location and size, it is eligible for a 100% rebate on business rates. I’d gladly pay them were anything due, but nothing is.

So, not only am I in the clear with local government, but being so saves me several thousand pounds a year.
This is unfortunately how lots of people and companies think "secure" email needs to work. Any message from my bank or doctor works this way even it is something as simple as an appointment reminder. It is massive waste of user's time and programing effort, but I'm afraid that is where the world is moving.
for example, private military contracting is outright explicitly illegal in Russia. That didn't prevent in anyway a well known Russian private military company to fight in Ukraine and Syria ... both times of course for the side supported by Putin.
I believe Google makes enough cash to hire people who could take care of those spammy websites.

Great job! A categorization system (especially if it can be crowdsourced/edited via github) would be great, since these datasets are likely to be useful across multiple domains - and not just "CV" or "NLP" - I'm thinking "Stocks", "Finance", etc.

Also https://registry.opendata.aws/ from AWS has a lot of datasets that could either be included en masse, or even linked to for the page to be more comprehensive. I like their categorization system (tags/labels) as well. They also have usage examples which is excellent to get a sense of what the data is/useful for.

I wish countries would retaliate economically against Trump, yes.
Well, since the city collects taxes from us, they'd naturally be aware that we're running a business, don't you think? :)

Yes, we have a Colorado sales tax license and a city-issued business license, both hanging on the wall like any other business. Every vacation rental in town -- many dozens of them in all -- does the same. The town is small, neighbors are watchful, and city enforcement is strict.

We pay lodging and sales tax, same as a hotels. My rental rates are about half the cost for the same space in a hotel, and it's way nicer. You don't get a full kitchen in a hotel.

We pump a lot of money into the local economy -- much more than we would if we lived there full time. My cleaning lady made about $8000 off our house last year. Guests tend to be pretty active patrons of restaurants and shops, and when they eat at the home they buy food from a little grocery in town. The nearest supermarket is 45 minutes away.

It sucks that your neighborhood is suffering. But I rather doubt your situation would be much better if all the tourists were staying in hotels rather than airbnb's. Touristy destinations all face challenges, and there are myriad ways a city can screw it up.

But not everywhere is like Miami. A lot of our mountain towns are slowly dying. Some of them of tried to stay alive by legalizing casino gambling. It seems to work, but it turns your town into a casino town. Other towns are trying to navigate a delicate but potentially rewarding transition to being the kind of vacation destinations that people want to stay at for a week or more. Hotels can't help your town get that kind of business. Again, no kitchens. If I can help my town make that transition and also have a successful business for myself, it's a win-win for everybody.
South Florida literally invented Spring Break destination travel so I'd hardly blame Airbnb for this. The street racing and machismo culture has been there as long as I can remember (easily back through the 90s) and its the locals doing that.

I'd blame Winter Music Conference and the constant stream of other huge party events as much as anything.

Where was anything about forcing traffic? They just made fake news and criticising the state fineable offences.
The objects in the corners of the room aren't sensors with Vive, they're lighthouses. Vive's tracking system is inside-out, there's only one cable and it runs from your computer to your head. There need to be two lighthouses, and all they need is power and line-of-sight to each other

Oculus's tracking system is outside-in, the stations in the corners of the room are cameras, and the headset has infrared lights on it. You need three base stations, and they all need to be connected to your computer in addition to the connection for the headset itself.

Oculus has arguably nicer controllers (grips vs wands), but Vive is launching "knuckles" controllers soon so that relationship might flip.

I chose Vive because of the close integration with Steam, easier setup with fewer wires, and more titles (at least at the time, idk about now).

The screen door effect doesn't bother me, so the main feature of the Rift S isn't a draw for me.
No, share it all, let the information run free
I agree. HOAs are still relatively rare outside of SoCal, so this issue is unlikely to pop up for 99.999% of the US population.
> I've never really understood the appeal of major roads for bicyclsts. I much prefer sidestreets when bicycling and don't mind cutting over a block to have to deal with less traffic. I think this demand along with a general blowback against cars due to American culture treating non-vehicle traffic as second class leads to bad outcomes.

It's about not getting lost when you travel someplace where you don't go often, at least for me.
If you click on the pink flamingo when it exposed it opens up a flappy bird game. They are layered so if the blue flamingos are "in front" of the pink one you cannot click to open the game. Pretty neat and I like the simple/clean look of the website.
That phrase bothered me for a different reason - namely, the role of Christian evangelism in western imperialism. Christianity became a key justification for the racism and orientalism necessary to justify the imperialism, the idea that enlightened Christian Europeans were going to save the ignorant savages and degenerate oriental kingdoms from themselves. Without the racism and orientalism, imperialist ambitions become too morally difficult to maintain.

So I don't think the problem is Islam, or even Christianity. I think the problem is the political usefulness of evangelical religions.

Of course, the horror we talk about when talking about the violent nature of Islam is "terrorism"... which is, really, just a form of asymmetric warfare, all that's available when one side has tremendous military superiority. If the armies were more equal, the situation would be different.

This is actually related to another minor gripe I have about Mark Fisher. He talks a lot of the problems of left-wing online activism, and he's right, but the problem as it stands today isn't a new flaw of the left (this thinking has always been around, as he has noted). Rather, it's that the internet and social media make it so easy to be a mob. The right-wing Twittersphere is as bad as the left, and uses much the same tactics. The correct answer is for us to stay off of social media...
At least in Argentina, from what I've seen from friends hiring them (i didn't cuz i thought it was a waste of money and also i don't trust strangers to give them all my personal data to fill some forms for me), they just handle the same stuff that you can do on your own, basically:

- go to the embassy's web page,

- load all your personal information for the visa application in the web page.

- schedule an interview

- schedule the visit to the CAS (where they take you a photo and your fingerprints).

So, basically, they manage the bureaucratic procedures that happen BEFORE you get to the interview, and give you advice on the documentation you should take with you to prove you are economically rooted to your country (so you won't become an illegal immigrant)...

But you still need to go personally to both the CAS and the Embassy (on 2 different days). So, not really worth it for anyone who knows how to use a webpage.
As mentioned, never happened to me, or colleagues within earshot.
The main case that I know of where you really don't want to use open addressing (using tombstones) is when you have both of the following requirements: a) need to repeatedly insert and delete items, and b) can't tolerate (relatively) really bad worst case insertion performance.

I can't speak directly to the performance of non-tombstone based open addressing implementations, but it definitely seems like the need to move things around after deletions would be significantly more work than the fastest chaining implementation I've come up with.
Highrise apartments ("bulk housing") is the obvious outcome of where ridiculous zoning has taken us. If cities were allowed to organically build upwards in duplexes and triplexes, we'd have naturally higher density/capacity without the need for adrenaline shots of highrise apartment buildings.
If you can suggest a more accurate and neutral title, preferably using language drawn from the article, we'll be happy to change it.

> In this context I define innocent as "undeserving of abrupt and violent execution".

Okay, you've traded innocent for undeserving. That doesn't feel any more definitive to me. Who's undeserving?

> In this context I define political as "of or with regard to government or government policy".

Governments are made up of the people. If they aren't enslaved, then they have some responsibility for the action of said government. It's one group of people doing something to another group. Whether it's from some government or not is irrelevant. For example, is not a non-government group advocating for the eradication of a subgroup of people evil in your reasoning? That's not political in any way.

> In this context I define evil as "a profoundly immoral act".

You've already stated morality is relative in your first comment. You're relying on a relative assessment to claim something as universal.

> Seems pretty straightforward.

It seems fairly shaky to me.
This hasn't been my experience. VSCode still regularly fails to resolve dependencies for me. Usually it's because I added a go.mod after opening VSCode and I just need to restart the latter, but sometimes even that doesn't work. Hard to say exactly what the cause is since debugging VSCode is quite difficult (or maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places).
Newbie can write bad code on any platform, but it‘s a short period of life of software developer - the problem of beginners is solved not by the tools they use, but through a reasonable composition of the team with sufficient number of experienced developers who can define the architecture and best practices.
