The definition of graffiti pretty much includes property destruction. I don't get why that's ok with so much of Western culture.

I think street art is great and with permission have zero issues but going around trashing other people's property seems like a net negative to society as a whole. It sets a precedent. If you can trash my stuff then it should be okay for me to trash yours. That seems like a bad direction to me.
Re: calories increase fat -- this can't be full picture, I can eat pretty much anything and not gain weight (I never tried a sugar loaded diet of coke and cookies though), and I understand this is not so for many people.

I think "calories increase body fat" is a correct, but a very low resolution statement. One can say that it will rain in the summer sometimes when there is more water in the air than the air can hold. But what else affects it? Can you say that today the chance of rain is 20% and tomorrow it is 40%?
One of the many, many reasons to not ever use the "login with your Facebook account" (or Google or whatever) on any site. And that's before you even take into consideration what sites like Facebook and Google are doing with that information.
So why wouldn't we just have a mapping between mime-types and extensions for look ups? Why bother examining the accept header beyond splitting and searching within the list? Like in such a way that we're opening arbitrary files with it?
I think you mean American Psychiatry.

Your use of Schizophrenia and Bipolar as examples are both at the top of the heap in terms of what modern psychiatry has been successful in managing.

Depression, as a general term, and anti-depressants on the other hand, not so much. The world of psychology is far more of a fail. CBT therapies, mindfulness, and various other fads have all turned out, in meta-studies to be either hot air or incompetent application of the scientific method.

The human brain is the most complex organ in the known universe. At least psychiatrists are required to have an MD to practice. Psychologists just wave their hands around and maybe scrape by on some basic statistics to get qualified to rummage around like demented apes in the windmills of your mind.
The point of the borrow checker is that it's run at compile time rather than runtime. Putting something similar into the architecture necessarily implies a runtime check, which is similar to the idea of a smart pointer, which exists in Rust as well as other languages.
i wonder if it's possible to root iphones mainboards to use them as standalone compute modules
Which games?

In general: Repl.it infra is a multitenant container system and you might get unlucky sometimes and get a VM that's super crowded (reloading might work).

Btw, if you login we also give you more compute resources and things will run faster.

Competition is a bit of a red herring - it's not as if anybody is stopping anybody from starting their own train service in America tomorrow. The reason Amtrak is run like a government agency is because if they didn't offer routes at a loss, nobody would run those routes at all.
My father used to tickle me to tears. I think OP has the right idea here.
And presumably if there remains any debate about this we could settle it with a genomic study.
Yeah its a game changer. Marriott brand is rolling them out, and Hyatt has them too. These are massive portfolios now, and will save them from getting screwed over continually by Apple changing the docking station ports.

For now Chromecast just being there and part of the TV will let users do what they want with music and now this.
Quite nice. So far I've been using http://paletton.com/ - not identical, but similar functionality.
The difference being the iPhone had much broader appeal and sold like crazy. Easily justifying the cost of R&Ding and producing bigger and bigger leaps in capabilities. And in that era, iPhones were still subsidized by carrier contracts.

VR is still of very limited appeal. Costs a bundle if you need to get a PC that can power it.

I have yet to try any of the options and I am pretty close to the target demographic: tech worker with dollars to spare, hardware hacker, neophyte game engine programmer, and I could not care less about VR.
Did they have Global Schrodingering deniers?
I found it underwhelming that the author talks about "artists are no longer making a living making music" but provides no numbers. Do we have fewer professional musicians per capita? Do they make less on average/median/mode?

The closest he comes to evidence to support his thesis was the informal survey he gave his students about their perceptions about becoming a professional musician. Yet even here he fails to provide any evidence that this perception has changed relative to any of the other time periods he talks about. I don't think "professional musician" has ever been seen as a particularly valuable career path and has usually been a choice made based on love, rather than greed.

The closest he comes to an argument to explain his students' belief is not an argument about the money making potential of music given our current technology, but an argument about how there is too much competition.

Then he says this:

> And so what of the future? Since the death of Steve Jobs, Apple has not released any new platforms in the last five years. Are technological changes slowing down after 30 years of whirling change?

He ignores the two of the most important newer platforms for music: youtube and then later, spotify. Looking at the future without considering the effects of royalty paying platforms with complex recommendation engines completely misses the point about how high competition and new types of centralized discovery platforms will change the face of music. Overall, this is a poorly constructed article that reads like it is about 10 years out date, I actually scrolled up to check when it was published.
Running "bare metal" requires certain infrastructure (linkers, ABIs, etc). AMD has it in the form of HSA/ROCm; Intel does not, their drivers assume working with OpenCL/SPIR-V/GLSL.
Who dismisses lay analysts in this sense? Not even analysts do anymore (as evidenced by the acceptance of psychologists into analytic programs). You said not involving a "professional." Freud was talking about physicians.
Just look at homicides. A dead body is somewhat impossible to hide from the statistics. Then, overlay that data with any other category of crime. Here's a google image search: https://www.google.com/search?q=murder+assault+rates&rls=en&...:

What you will see is broad agreements of the trends, often including fluctuation in shorter terms.

Your theory would thus require (a) some evidence that the police is now somehow hiding murders, or (b) that murders fell but other crimes (even attempted murder) were somehow exempt from the trend and the police in almost any jurisdiction managed to underreport all other crimes with almost perfect accuracy to reproduce the trend in murders.

The comparisons across jurisdictions is interesting by itself: falling levels of violent crimes have been observed across a broad swath across North America, Europe, and beyond. It's somewhat unlikely that all these unrelated police forces somehow simultaneously decided to and succeeded in embarking on a corrupt campaign to falsify statistics.

If anything, the prevailing winds should have led to more crime being reported. Something like rape or assault tend to be taken more seriously these days. In cases such as Spain, one would also expect today's statistics to be more accurate than they were in the 70s, when it still was a fascist dictatorship interested in projecting an image of stability and safety.
As long as you realize everyone feels that exact way.
as there been any research about waves or oscillations between centralization and decentralization ?

computer started as one processor and distributed terminals, then cpu spread to terminals, then back to server/clients, then p2p. Lastly consoles are threatened by centralized gaming datacenters ..

I think you are massively underestimating just how much ads pay for, and how much economic activity they drive. If you remove ads, the prices for everything would increase massively (even after accounting for the lack of advertising costs) and even fewer people could afford it.

Sure there are definitely places that have too much, and the overall implementation and UX of ads online is poor, but advertising itself has enabled a lot of people to have access to many things they otherwise would never have.
That's essentially what the patch does; the "symbol" call only resolves for known-good mime types.
The most interesting thing about the site, is that if you go to anything off of it (example: x.com/helloworld or x.com/login) you will instead see "y" show up instead of the "x" on the site.
Here is an example of what can be done to old Babylon 5 CGI by just rendering them in 1080p. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHAuK_lDkk0

"They’re using the original Lightwave scene files for camera and model movement, lights, etc. It’s also the original 3D models and textures used on the show – and nothing has been updated in any way other than being rendered out at 1920x1080. It’s the raw CGI without any post work."
There are licensing requirements with continuous daily background checks. The results speak for themselves. Throwing up your hands and saying it’ll never work without trying it is tantamount to accepting the status quo. None of that is okay.
This recalls me a story from Stanislaw Lem' Cyberiad. The two constructors, Trurl and Clapautius, give the same advice to the leaders of two opposing armies:the best army, each of them explain, is the one where there is an unique spirit in all the bodies. So, just add to all soldiers a plug in front and a socket in the back, so that they can all connect. The armies apply the advice and something unexpected happens.
i'm sorry but ddg fails very rapidly on anything that requires semantics
Wrong. Doctors would (hopefully) lose licenses and have big legal consequences. Mechanics are also subject to some form of objective measurement as even the average driver has some sense if a problem is being fixed or not.

But psychiatry? Forget it. You pay to talk to someone, they have a nice couch, soothing voice, make you feel good for an hour, but nothing really changes. But hey, I liked that hour, I should keep coming back!
The more they study quantum phenomenon, the crazier the things they find. I suspect quantum computers will take longer than expected to make practical, but researchers will find interesting phenomenon along the journey that may eventually lead to other practical tools.
The UK is case in point evidence that private railroad operations will not make it cheaper. Rail travel in the UK is insanely expensive and delayed.

The notion of "biological root cause" is very controversial. In fact I would say that applying the notion of root cause to a distressed individual is part of the problem with the establishment—the situation is inherently complex, involving social context and psychodynamic aspects as well as biology.

If we had a solid reductionist biological theory of mental illness, we would still sometimes discover that the cause was strictly "outside" the patient's own physiology.

Psychologists certainly go along with the fashionable talk of "chemical imbalances", but unlike psychiatrists, they don't really claim any authority when they do it.
That picture in particular has a really interesting parallax effect - view it in stereo and move your head around. For me, the back rank seems to shift a lot with head position, even though the image itself is (obviously) stationary.

Regular Magic-Eye pictures do this too, but to a much less noticeable degree.
This is sort of the exact opposite of patent trolls yeah? A patent troll sits on a patent doing next-to-nothing in order to hold on to their "extremely valuable" rights.

Tesla on the other-hand is executing on its patents so hard it doesn't even have time to try to protect them.

Perhaps their secret is _just doing stuff_, instead of, you know, _not_.

If thats the case, with my experience at San Francisco startups, there is a very real chance Zoox hasn't stolen the _valuable_ knowledge :P
> In Ontario the Professional Engineers (http://www.peo.on.ca/) crack down on unlicensed use of the "Engineer" word in job titles pretty aggressively.

Yeah well, good for them I guess. I don't think anybody else cares.

> The point is that the public should have confidence in engineers.

Why? "Engineer" is a very broad term used in a variety of occupations for very different things. If you're looking at someone's credentials and you're so uninformed that you can't tell the difference between a licensed engineer in a particular profession and a guy that has "Engineer" written on their business card, you're not qualified to make a decision either way.

> If you still don't see why, "Lawyer" and "Doctor" are "just job titles" but obviously that's a problem. I trust you can see that.

I can see the argument for why a medical doctor or a lawyer should be afforded some amount of protection, because they are directly dealing with laymen. I don't buy the same argument for the word "Engineer", much less "Software Engineer". It just doesn't really mean anything. We already have degrees and certifications for when specifics matter.
Did we watch the same video? It looks like a 2002-era video game when rendered at 1080p. It does not realistic at all; it is nothing like improving a film video of a model (film is basically ~5k equivalent and a model is.. infinite?).
DSB is NOT a for profit company in the normal sense. They rely on huge public subsidies to survive.

Today even the smallest countries can buy digital espionage services, enabling them to conduct sophisticated operations like electronic eavesdropping or influence campaigns that were once the preserve of major powers like the United States and Russia. Corporations that want to scrutinize competitors’ secrets, or a wealthy individual with a beef against a rival, can also command intelligence operations for a price, akin to purchasing off-the-shelf elements of the National Security Agency or the Mossad.

There were books in the 1980's predicting such a cyberpunk future in years around now. 2019 would have sounded right in place in such stories. Cybersecurity consultants gone rogue, hiding out in Russia. Hackers turned into CIA assets, playing head games with ex-soldiers who opt to change their gender. Corporations and tin-pot governments hiring hackers to do surveillance. Eccentric billionaires seeking to jump-start space industry and the colonization of Mars. We are in the 1980's cyberpunk future. It's just that the names, time scales, and pay scales have changed.

Just get rid of a few details like RAM being a valuable pocketable item and revolvers with Xenon weaponlights being used by mercenaries, and Neuromancer holds up kinda ok.

You take a damped sine wave, where its amplitude gradually moves towards zero, of some frequency and you pass it through the particular sigmoid function. Just like you can play a sine wave, you can play the resulting tone.

If you look at his code, you can see how he wrote it:

fn gen_audio(len: usize) -> Vec<f32> {
//(0..len).map(|i| ((i as f32).powi(2) * 1e-7).sin()).collect()
let f = 440.0;
let d = f / 44_100.0 * 2.0 * std::f64::consts::PI;
(0..len).map(|i| {
let i = i as f64;
let amp = 100.0 * (i * -4e-5).exp();
let tone = (i * d).sin() * amp;
tone.max(-1.0).min(1.0) as f32
//erf7(tone as f32)
//(tone / (1.0 + tone * tone).sqrt()) as f32
//tone.tanh() as f32
}).collect()
}
Much of what you say is true, but then the live music scene is dominated by an oligopoly for ticket sales (Livenation & Ticketmaster) and for bookings (GoldenVoice). Commercial venues tend to sign contracts with these big players and that's killed off most local and regional booking agencies that used to set people up. It's better than it used to be in some respects, but also centralized and excessively driven by analytics.

The problem is that people took Steve Albini's legitimate criticisms of large end of the music industry and threw the baby out with the bathwater. It's far easier to launch a music act in some respects, but at the price of destroying a lot of economic infrastructure and favoring the lowest common denominator, eg things like 'Gucci gang'.

This seems like it might be frustrating to manage. Instead of one or two memorable addresses, you now have two hundred hard-to-memorize ones.

Why would humans be reading these log files?
None of those are to or from Berlin. Munich might have cheaper rail options than Berlin, especially since Munich is a more traditional hub of industry. Flights Berlin to Köln are definitely cheaper than trains. Generally in my experience flights in Europe are less expensive than trains YMMV.
The prime thing U2F mitigates is phishing attacks. You literally cannot be phished with U2F, you try to auth against the wrong domain and you get a different secret - so they can't then pass that on the backend (i.e. the real site) and login as you.

Sure your TOTP might remain, but you're not using it, so it's not liable to be taken.
In a lot of cases it is not as much of a luxury as you would expect considering the meals and how long it is. You can get a pair of tickets from SF(Emeryville) to Chicago with a sleeper room for about $675 total. A pair of coach train tickets is about $275 . A pair of one way plane tickets is $300 on the low end, and about $800 for a pair of first class plane tickets.
I love that new areas of math are being applied, but (as a PhD applied mathematician) I disagree with the quote "Applied mathematics is not a subject classification. It’s an attitude".

It has taken me years - an entire career, really - to learn to effectively communicate my mathematical findings to other non-mathematical researchers and effectively bridge these gaps. I know a lot of mathematicians who say "well, sure, I could communicate my work to other fields, but ...<some excuse here>", when the truth is, they just don't have the training or expertise for how to do it. It's not just that they don't want to/are too good to bother/etc./etc. (as much as they would like it to seem that way).

The fact is, translating research findings is hard. Much harder than actually making them. And asking good questions, relevant to the scientific field you are working in, even harder. The quote above reflects a common, damaging hubris in mathematics research and is why most of the "best" math research never gets used in other fields of science.
I think you should always respect personal boundaries, but it's precisely with those whom you are closest that you feel comfortable tinkering with those boundaries. If you never pushed the boundaries, you wouldn't have gotten so close to begin with. But once you find them, you never intentionally cross them too much - that would be a breach of trust.

If people being upset about ads is the biggest problem you face, you have had a pretty easy life. What about more impactful things like war and disease?

(Literally this the same argument you just made)
I think people's experience with digital audio being "worse" than analogue audio, mostly comes down to the average audio reproduction equipment getting worse over the years. (Worse and cheaper. Like flights.)

Everyone used to have a pair of gigantic bookshelf speakers, where you didn't even need a subwoofer because the woofer covered the full low end of the range. They were also shitty, but in a particular analogue way that made them "warmer" and introduced a bit of hiss (which essentially was doing a cheap antialias of the source, according to our ears.)

When was the last time you listened to a good set of speakers, outside of a movie theatre? (Good headphones don't count—they can reproduce audio with high fidelity, but they can't produce enough sound to vibrate your body from the direction they're coming from—let alone enough to make the acoustics of the room you're listening in important.)
This is not my understanding, based on Kiwis I've been speaking to online.

An AR-15 is a Class E firearm - unless it has a thumbhole stock, no "bad" features, and 7-round magazines. In that case it's a Class A firearm.
Notably, though, this only impacts calls which use the `file:` option on render calls, which in my experience is a relatively little-used feature. Not sure how many commercial Rails app this actually impacts in practice.
It was shocking to learn Guam was settled 4,000 years ago by the Chamorro people who built boats and seemingly sailed 2,000+ miles from Southeast Asia.
This chart suggest Rapes/Sexual assaults are way up, Assaults are up, Murder/Robbery are the same or up a tiny bit. The only number in decline from the 90s looks like burglary.

And if you go back earlier than the 90s, crime looks like it has broadly gotten much worse:

> The retina does not respond to the 905-nm infrared light used in current car lidars, so we can’t see it. But the eye transmits 905 nm to the retina, so it’s subject to the same restrictions as visible light. In fact, it’s even more hazardous because the eye cannot automatically turn away from a bright source that the retina can’t sense.

The eye is opaque to 1550 nm light, and so even if you are looking right at it none of it makes it to the retina.
> So I think the idea is that MMT recognizes that inflation would indeed occur if you kept printing money without a demand for that money, which they say will be supplied by government-sponsored full employment.

Nope, it's when too much money chases too few goods and services. Inflation is everywhere and always a dynamic process. The federal reserve can print 100 trillion dollars and credit it to their own account and it won't affect inflation at all until they start spending it or transferring it to parties that will.
It requires a specific usage of `render` that is extremely rare. I've never seen it in a real application.

As a kid, I spent one summer learning to see Magic Eye, one summer learning to whistle (drove the other kids in my summer camp mad, I'm sure), and several months learning to snap my fingers.

I always wondered why other kids could do things that I couldn't, so I guess I spent an excessive amount of time trying to catch up :)
