Any technology that can automatically perform the tedious task of coloring 2D art would be a godsend to indie game devs as well as amateur artists.
I was thinking particularly about the space battle shots, where you could provide 3D models of each of the ships, so that the software had the higher detail information, and would just need to match position, movement, and lighting.
The point made was almost certainly sarcastic -- that the government and media want to obfuscate the reasons why people are being killed. The point was that the reasons why people are fighting against US occupation are much less complicated than the media would have you believe.

I was pointing out that referring to retaliation against an illegal war of aggression as "violent insurrection" and "terrorist activities" is not an accurate portrayal (unless you'd also refer to US foreign policy as a terrorist activity).
Yes, because then I know I need to broaden my query slightly. Feed me a bunch of junk I didn't ask for and my first instinct is to restrict my query more.
This sort of victim mentality isn't helpful for you or your "cause". The only people it helps are the shysters who'll tell you these problems are created by the cultural marxist global elite or whatever, while shaking their e-tip jar.

Isn't it usually the "free speech" crew telling others that they don't know what 'real oppression' is? Try running a website in China critical of government policy and see where that gets you.

The world wasn't created to serve you personally. If you have visions of running the next Stormfront, don't act shocked if Cloudflare and your web host stop playing ball sometime down the line. Neither of those are necessary to run a functioning website.

As a recent meme put it, 'learn to code'.

The status quo is to toggle a boolean on their account. If they sign in and this boolean is true, then don't actually sign them in. Tell them they need to change their password first.

Then you'd send out an email to the account holder to change their password. If they actually own the email, and aren't an imposter, then you're good to go.

So in terms of automation, it's literally just a boolean check during log ins, and make sure you're actually doing password resets correctly.
There weren't enough polygons on them to look good at higher resolutions; they'd really have to be redone anyway.
Oh come on. Tesla's logistic processes have problems but this kind of glib sentiment does not contribute to a productive discussion. They still have managed to get to a state of manufacturing thousands of electric vehicles a week, which has _some_ value for any startup getting into manufacturing business (i.e. Zoox). If anything, Tesla's IP in this space likely captures a lot knowledge about what is necessary in an intense bootstrap phase where requirements are constantly changing and iterative flexibility is paramount (more-so than raw scalability).
Vacuum Data – Instant access to on-demand open data from a one-stop place
And how do I put process controls around that? How do I have confidence that someone I'm trying to help over the phone will see the same screens and get the same questions that I do? What do they do if it asks the wrong question?

Having simple, predictable, consistent behavior from our tools is far better than trying to guess what the user wanted.
Next you're going to say that people should be making themselves unpoor? Because you can't be unblind but you can be unpoor (I mean, you could even move your family to another country and learn a new language), should we now be asking why people choose to "remain poor"?

Money is the most severe access issue in the world, which is why Facebook and friends are dominating. That's why they want to subsidize everything, because even $5 is a barrier which will stop people across the world.
Correlation ins't causation of course, but not one mention of video games in the article: https://66.media.tumblr.com/6e0d3c2533b37df820432f5e6d929c83...

I have always though video game especially violent ones were an outlet for aggression and could actually curbs those tendencies, not make them worse, it sure seemed like that way for me growing up, playing Doom and Carmageddon later Battlefield and GTA. Time line matches up pretty well with violent crime decline.

The title says "because higher wages", which of course touches all kinds of buttons. But if you read a couple of lines down, it's because of the broken taxation system:

There are many reasons restaurants close. But one reason comes up again and again—California is raising minimum wage without letting restaurant owners count tips as wages, and yet still taxing restaurateurs on those tips. It’s a financial double-whammy they can’t recover from.
> (there are edge cases where the airports pay the airlines to go to them, but those are rather rare exceptions).

Thing may have changed since a few things happened meanwhile, but a couple of years ago Ryanair got about 100 Million EUR [1] (sorry, link in Italian) from various Italian airports. Verona airport used to pay up to 24 EUR per passenger to low cost companies.

My understanding is that some airports have been opened for political reasons even when there was no real need, so they are "forced" to make such agreements in order to guarantee a decent amount of passengers.

I'm wondering if this happens also elsewhere in Europe.

I guess the corporation, in this case, is acting as a benefactor just as the government would be in other cases.

In order to work on pie in the sky ideas, you need to hire brilliant people for long periods of time, with low certainty of success. And this is expensive, and corporations will not generally do this out of the kindness of their hearts... the stars align sometimes where the private incentives and public interests are the same.

Xerox PARC, Google X, Bell Labs, and so forth meet this description just as much as DARPA.

But the traditional direct profit motive is an important piece of the engine of progress, and relying only on this other incentive structure would cause stagnation.

That's correct -- if you cross your eyes correctly, you should see some 3D depth in the static.

Would be useful if it had some markers for achieving the correct amount of focus.
You're talking about in the government employ right? Obviously no commercial enterprise will pay Joe Sixpack to do anything if he can't create value.

So let's say that Joe Sixpack can't get a "real" job. Then society's choices for him are

1. Let him starve to death. Hope that if his alternative is starving then he will reform himself enough to get a job.

2. Give him money with no strings attached (currently various welfare programs, possibly UBI in the future)

3. Give him money but make him work a gov't job where he subtracts value (e.g. he is actively making things worse than if he was just not there)

4. Find some kind of gov't job where he creates less value than he is getting paid but is still creating positive value

If we ignore #1 (because if you believe #1 is always the answer then the rest of the conversation is pointless) then the question is who falls into bucket 3?

My guess is that you have two types of people, people who are not capable of doing productive work (which I'd argue are very, very few) and people who will choose to be unproductive because of the jobs guarantee (they know that they have a job no matter how badly they do it).

So maybe the jobs guarantee should be combined with a UBI with differing levels of support. Provide a UBI which covers basic needs and a jobs guarantee which provides a little more money. There will always be people who want to work just for something to do and there will be people who want to earn the extra money to improve their lifestyle. Then you don't force people into jobs where they create negative value.
Are you asking why did I change the exposure? Because I did, I was playing around. It was the comparison I had uploaded, I have a copy without on a different computer.
> Golang has libraries for all of the things you mentioned, and web tools to generate APIs based on those schemas. [...]

Would you cite some? I would love to see the links, packages, etc. And how could you achieve the same in Go:

Having a single type declaration, get web data validation, serialization, documentation with OpenAPI and automatic clear error responses.

I would love to see it, because before building FastAPI I looked for it in Go-land a lot too, and didn't find it, not even closer to the tools that already existed in Python.
Success Bias.....
Bezos famously says Amazon's "secret sauce" is "obsessive compulsive focus on the customer." Isn't this move at odds with that focus? Customers don't want to see ads.
From what I'm reading, Amazon treated, through layers of shell and subcontracting corporations, the pilots like they treat their warehouse workers?

> According to their union contracts, ABX and Atlas Air pilots have not received a raise in nearly a decade.

In order for Amazon to work, they must treat the employees like dirt. Underpay them, overwork them.

> "You have a bunch of pilots that were not happy to begin with, and now you see the company willfully and intentionally disenfranchising them and trying to basically crush or limit their careers going forward," Wells, the president of Teamsters Local 1224, said. "And that's never a good environment to work in, especially with pilots or with the kind of work that we do."

This is firmly in line with what you can expect as an underling of Amazon for anything but a software engineer, who are treated like dogs too but at least they're paid for it.
Yes. That's expected. It's a Magic Eye style stereogram. If you make your eyes do the Magic Eye "thing", you can see the 3D shapes in the world and use the arrow keys to move around.
You're right about the competition, but I found their 'dedication' to be lukewarm.

Once someone realizes that there's a company turning away customers with deep pockets, someone will show up and happily take that work. Then if they're taking the high road they have to convince artists that they have the moral high ground and therefore if a city or company wants a large mural, they'll be working with the Spraypainter team.

But the fact that they've done advertising anyway... that doesn't project the romantic image of the underdog with a moral compass that seems popular with artists. And as an artist, do you really want to use the exact same medium that every auto dealer group in town is using to advertise? Yuck. That's not a problem yet, because there's only one company doing those murals and they are only taking a few advertising projects. But once the copycats show up they'll have to find a way to differentiate their look or get sidelined.
My base assumption is that one goes on Amtrak for the scenery. So it's not at all like being at home; it's more like being at a scenic resort.

Note that some people use Amtrak because they are afraid of flying. This way of looking at the prices does not apply to them.
tl;dr it turns amoebae to stone, not people.
What is the licensing situation for remastering like? It would be a pretty interesting competitive edge if a company like Netflix could improve their entire library with some inhouse remastering magic. Or even a bargaining tool for buying new licenses...sure, we'll add your stuff to our collection and remaster it "for free".
I'm not sure if you can do that - what you're essentially suggesting is that the EU forces companies to provide their services in certain EU members, whether it makes sense for them or not.
Somewhat unrelated but if you have two Facebook accounts with very similar login names/email address, and different passwords, it doesn't matter which login name that you use, it will login into the account based on the password only. I contacted Facebook about it and they say that it is an intentional "feature".
Also an attorney and I read the statute differently than parent comment. The Economic Espionage Act[1] criminalizes the misappropriation of information, not the use of misappropriated information. In relevant part:

> (a) Whoever, with intent to convert a trade secret, that is related to a product or service used in or intended for use in interstate or foreign commerce, to the economic benefit of anyone other than the owner thereof, and intending or knowing that the offense will, injure any owner of that trade secret, knowingly—

>> (1) steals, or without authorization appropriates, takes, carries away, or conceals, or by fraud, artifice, or deception obtains such information; [or]

>> (2) without authorization copies, duplicates, sketches, draws, photographs, downloads, uploads, alters, destroys, photocopies, replicates, transmits, delivers, sends, mails, communicates, or conveys such information;

Edit: Just saw parent comment clarified they were discussing Zoox's liability, not the former employee. In that case, subsection 3 of the above excerpt would apply:

>> (3) receives, buys, or possesses such information, knowing the same to have been stolen or appropriated, obtained, or converted without authorization;

I still read the statute a bit differently from parent. Liability doesn't flow from whether or not the IP was implemented by Zoox but from whether or not Zoox knew the information was stolen. Tesla will have to prove Zoox intended to obtain the proprietary information and knew it was stolen.

In the US observing someone showcasing a skill in public is usually not enjoyable but there is less of an emphasis on decorum and politeness and more of that good ol'libretarian individualism so going out into public and demonstrating how heart stoppingly amazing you are is a pretty common occurrence.

I think this is a bit different than busking which tends to be relegated to locations where people aren't required to hang around for long periods of time (like outside a metro station where someone enjoying your music can stay and chill for a while or just continue into the relative quiet of the station platform.
> It’s immediately obvious that increasing the money supply and spending the money will result in inflation.

I'm not criticizing your logic, but I feel like my entire adult life (I'm 42) I've been bombarded with tales of EVERY proposal will "obviously result in inflation". During this time gold has also been upheld as the only safe investment, doom is always around the corner, Europe has been on the brink of financial collapse, etc

At this point, any argument, even those that might be completely correct, that something will "obviously result in inflation" is suspect. All I've learned in this time is (1) Economists and politicians speak different languages, (2) Economics has done very poorly when it comes to modeling the future - there's always SOME model that predicted some event, but no model that has been widely reliable, and (3) Doom has been falsely predicted a ton of times, but that real financial hardships absolutely CAN happen.

Which leaves me to conclude that I can't trust what I hear, that someone is probably right, and that I have no practical way to know who that is.
If nothing else you can’t be out engaging in violence if you are at home playing games.
Elevators I'll grant you, but the power grid, railway and traffic lights are all controlled by governments, councils and NGO-type organisations — they all have reliability as their primary concern, not churning out units for profit.

And it may be irrational, but wrongly-activating brakes feel like less of a risk than wrongly-activating steering or accelerators.

And anyway, “lots of things are untrustworthy” is not a good argument for trusting something else.
Lumotive Says It Has a Practical Solid-State Lidar
Seems like a mix of things:

• The culture of incentivising employees with equity stakes is mostly a US thing. It's not widely practiced outside the USA. ARM is a rare example of a British tech firm that gave out equity to early employees, and not coincidentally, ARM was (up until it got bought by the Japanese) one of Europe's tech success stories.

• Lack of a comparable venture capital ecosystem of the type that came out of the success of Silicon Valley.

• The EU single market is (a) relatively new and (b) overhyped. It's still much easier to sell across state lines in the USA than it is to sell to the EU market, for all kinds of reasons. Of course the single market made it a lot easier but still not as easy as when there's a single language, a well established federal-level trading code that's been around hundreds of years etc.

• During the time the big US tech firms were establishing themselves and taking off (the 1980s), Europe was riven with hard socialism and even dictatorships. Spain was a dictatorship up until 1982, and they then elected socialists. France has famously strict labor laws that make it extremely risky and hard to try and grow a startup (which is already risky and hard). Italy was bogged down from the 70s-90s and arguably still today by heavily broken interventionist labour market, and terrorism/political instability. Germany didn't liberalise its labour markets to something approximating US standards until the Hartz IV reforms in the early 2000s and of course was split in two with one half being another dictatorship until 1991. During the 1980s the UK was busy recovering from a near-fatal economic meltdown caused by confrontations with hard left unions, that had rotating power cuts, three day weeks, garbage piling up on streets and an IMF bailout. Thatcher spent the whole of the 80s trying to bring the UK back to western liberal standards of growth and prosperity, so it wasn't an environment conducive to making a Microsoft or an Apple.

So it's a combination of US style VC fuelled tech ecosystems taking decades to grow, lack of equity-based incentives, most of Europe not having had sufficient political stability during the time companies like Apple, Microsoft, Intel etc were becoming established, and large parts of Europe even today still having radically more socialist governments and economies than the USA with the concomitant difficulty of growing any kind of startup at all, let alone high risk/high reward tech startups.
They used a fan-created model of Babylon 5 for The Lost Tales, and there likely exists fan meshes for most of the rest of the models on the show. Arguably, even rebuilding the models of B5's relatively simple models is not that big a deal compared to all of the editing work.

The biggest reason you'll never see a remaster of Babylon 5 is that it lacks the continued financial interest of it's backers or widespread market appeal. Star Trek is a wildly popular 50 year old franchise, which is still seeing new work today, and even then, CBS decided it wasn't worth it to remaster two of it's shows.
The Producer Playbook: Guidelines and Best Practices for Producers and PM's
I prefer to use the Black Magic Probe [1] because it doesn't need OpenOCD to be running (it hosts the GDB server itself) and it has an additional user USB/UART interface so that you only need one cable to connect your debugger and debug console.

That said, sometimes its multi-target support is not as friendly as I would like, and I'm not sure if the AARCH64 support is there yet (I used it on the original RasPi and on Chumbys)

Good news is that its open source and I was able to add SAM4L support when I needed it fairly easily.

"The win gap was at least 4%"

That's a narrow gap. Demographics (Brexit voters tend to be older) could easily have eroded that lead by itself in the past 3 years.

"Further, the native population was far higher pro Brexit"

The native population tends to have a lower birth rate also eroding the lead. Plus what is your point here? I cant think of a reasonable reason for even bringing it up.
In no particular order:

1) Fuel tax. There's no tax on jet fuel, but rail companies pay tax on their diesel or electricity

2) Inflexible service, but high expectations. The European rail timetable is changed twice a year, and those trains will run (in normal circumstances). There will be a train from X→Y every hour from 5am until midnight, and those trains run even if very few people use them on a particular day. An airline can change the schedules more easily, and cancel/rebook passengers at fairly short notice.

3) Rail infrastructure is subsidized differently to aircraft infrastructure. I don't know enough to compare which benefits the most. Externalities aren't costed properly (e.g. noise and pollution).

4) Railways must still provide low-profit-(even loss)-making services, they may be expected to do this using profits from other routes. For example, long distance intercity trains might be subsidizing rural services.
> Some claim that their theories are more clearly descended from Keynes than conventional economics do.

The conventionals recognize this too:

> With everything else going on, I really don’t want to spend time arguing with the Modern Monetary Theory people; after all, we agree on basic policy issues right now, and they are never likely to have as much destructive influence as the deficit scolds. But the MMT people think they have an argument with conventional Keynesians like me, and as long as they’re out there claiming that standard macroeconomics is all wrong, I guess we need to respond.

Hey there,

This is a guide for new Project Manager’s who want to level up or seasoned pro’s who need to better document their process for their team. It goes over everything, from contracts to emails, folder structure to project kickoffs, retrospectives to financials and a lot more -- 50+ pages of content.

I put it together after working at agencies in New York (Big Spaceship, Laundry Service, Huge) on various types of projects for a range of clients. What I saw there were similar if not the same, problems at each place that could be solved the same way — basically a more consistent practice / process as they managed their projects I knew I had to write something that would help.

I hope you find this valuable and if you think it would help someone else, please feel free to share it with them.

Would love to answer any questions!

They do have a sales team. This has been discussed several times. They don't have sales representatives but they have a huge third party selling channel and a large sales enablement organization.
Countries can and have defaulted on debts issued in their own currencies. If you printed your way out of debt that would be a default in all but name. You would cause a collapse of credit and a collapse in confidence in the currency itself.
