ISPs in many countries by law don't have the power to exclude things they don't like and competition prevents other abuses. If there are no laws like that in your country and not enough competition, you can zoom out to the problem of capitalism with incentives to gain monopoly and capture regulatory agencies. With such problem mesh networks are going to be monopolized in exactly the same way, because somebody has to maintain them to make it work well and with enough usefulness people would rather pay a subscription fee for a working service than rely on unreliable volunteers, and capitalists would rather buy everyone who offers the service early on than let competitive market happen and we are back to square one.

What I'm trying to say is that if mesh network is a solution, you have a much bigger problem than you realize.

Well as I said at least in Germany the universities have a web portal through which you can access pretty much any article you want electronically. The workflow for a student of medicine is something like:

- Search for an article on PubMed in the university library portal

- Get a list of results

- Download the article as pdf from the publishers website

Additionally many journals are accessible just by navigating to the publishers website (science, nature, physics journals, ieee journals) depending on which university vpn you are logged into. This covers most use cases, I am sorry to hear it’s not the same in France.
Correct. Though if that's the point one is trying to make, one should probably make it via stories of those scenarios and not "This technology makes it easier for the justice system to find people trying to dodge the justice system."
First: DO NOT email jeff@amazon.com, DO NOT Do media or any of crazy stuff like that.

I have to be honest with you OP. This is a case of you not understanding how the platform works, while Amazon is unclear in their policies. If you give them what they need, they will collaborate with you most of the time.

Here's what I believe happened based on what you provided.

Your product listing, you must have created using manufacturer's barcode. You can check your seller central Settings -> Fulfillment By Amazon
http://prntscr.com/n6j53l

If you had this at manufacturer barcode, or created the listing with manufacturer barcode. Then your products are commingled with the other sellers.

From what I saw in the image, it looks like the other seller Adorama sent in a product that looked used to the buyer. Then buyer complained. Now you are on the hook since the products are commingled.

If this is indeed the case you will need to write a Plan of action that addresses what Amazon is asking.

Point them to your manufacturer's website (https://www.getfractals.com)

Root cause
- inventory commmingling

Action Taken
- removed all inventory to verify no issues

Prevention
- no more commingling

Sourcing:
I source directly from manufacturer, I am the brand owner and manufacturer. point to the your website, and LINK the verifiable information back to you (same address, same storefront name, same personal nam etc), this is to prove you are sourcing from legitimate source.

Listing:
You have double checked listing to make sure product matches

Packaging & Shipping: address this if necessary

Buyer communication: I've reached out to buyer, and found out this product is from a commingled seller.

Also you will need to draft a invoice to yourself (your manufacturer identity to your own seller identity) in order to give the document amazon needs to pass this.

If you draft the correct POA plan, Amazon will accept it. Also make sure you never use commingling if you create your own products!

Zipkin looks like a library for collecting and inspecting distributed traces. This post is about how to keep your instrumentation code clean. Unless I missed something while I was reading it, it doesn't say anything about the underlying infrastructure.
Well, they do. That's what flaps are. They change the shape of the wing to better optimize for slow flight. Swing-wings work but are hideously heavy/expensive. We will never see an airframe able to morph into constantly ideal shapes like a birds do.

You know, weirdly enough I actually lost about two months of daily notes from the macOS Notes app once.

Something went wrong, and a bunch of notes disappeared from the app. I determined where its database was stored, and set about replacing it with an earlier backup. But that didn't work and I'm still not sure why.

So now I use text files in a directory. Hard to go wrong with that.

I was specifically talking about dual rail domino QDI. When you compare the typical dual rail domino QDI adder found in Andrew Lines thesis against a typical clocked carry lookahead adder like Kogge & Stone, it is worse by factors of between 2 and 3 in energy, area, and throughput.

Bundled data is a simple control with data clocked from that control. Its very much keeping arithmetic away from the QDI circuitry.

Though to be fair, I haven't seen a good examination of how pass transistor logic might affect QDI arithmetic circuitry, so maybe there is hope.

Well yes, and I also hope we don't know what they do all day.

Another point worth making is that the government can't really be on your team, as they tend to hog the ball/puck.
At work we have Office and I decided to give One Note a try. The note taking itself is awesome, but I kept running into an issue where copying and pasting would copy images of what I had highlighted instead of just the text of the notes... After Googling for 3 days I gave up and I'm back to pen and paper.

GMail, YouTube, Search, GCP, Android, and others...deep down they’re frontends for search or advertising... Streaming game services, not so much.

Streaming games has tremendous potential synergy with advertising. Games are yet another form of media, after all. There is obvious tremendous potential synergy with YouTube. Also, if one can stream games, then why not stream other kinds of applications? There's tremendous opportunities for synergies there as well.
Well, 2 things mainly:

1. Auto scraping other people's photos and reposting is a bit morally gray. He claims he stopped doing this in an edit to the article and now only scrapes royalty free stock photos

2. (Automatically?) posts guaranteed positive reviews for restaurants in exchange for goods (without disclosing this fact?)

It would be one thing if he got a free meal in exchange for an honest review (good or bad). But an automated, guaranteed good review without disclosing you received a free meal is slimy in my book because it breaks down the trust of the review system.

I think the dropbox UI does give that option, at least to edit existing text files... I tend to use google's keep myself these days though.
Google has morphed into a boring low-growth sustain-mode advertising company that happens to employ a lot of very bright, creative people who really have no business working there any more. Thus we see a ton of hobby side projects that don't last. At this point if Google invented a Level 5 self-driving car, I'd probably just yawn until a more dependable company reinvented it.
Music News: The World on Fire
The 737 Max is not actually unstable without MCAS. The requirement is for increasing angles of attack to require increasing back pressure on the yoke up until the edge of the flight envelope. The lift from the larger nacelles placed further forward is enough to violate this requirement at high angles of attack. It won't take itself to a stall unless you keep pulling, but it doesn't take extra back pressure to get it there either.

Other airliners have had undesirable parts of the flight envelope. The 727 for example has a high T tail, and it's possible to get into a deep stall, which is not recoverable because at very high angles of attack the elevators are in the turbulent air behind the wings. In the UK, the CAA required 727s to be equipped with stick pushers to prevent them ever getting close to this regime. This was due to their experience with a BAC 111 that deep-stalled and crashed in 1963. I don't think the FAA ever required this though.

We originally attempted to build something that works on any type of information on any page, but that was a little too broad to be shippable in a reasonable time.

So the current version will work on anything that looks like a traditional product page. Prices, variants, primary photos, comments/reviews (some of the time), etc.

Other pages may also produce results, but it's really tailored to product-like pages at the moment.

It runs a full Chrome browser, so if you can see it in Chrome, it'll be extractable by the engine. It renders JS, and dismisses any JS popups or modals so they don't contaminate the data.

If you give it a try and it doesn't produce the results you're hoping for, definitely let me know and I'll try to add your examples to the next batch of training data. Once a site is added to the training data the accuracy is very high.

But please give it a try and let me know what you think! eric@xtrct.io
I just picked one up a little while ago. The keyboard is easily the best in the 2016+ range, but the 10W thermal capacity is really a disappointment. It's barely faster than the "MacBook" and often dips down into the 3-4W range on CPU when loaded. I see DRAM often taking up 3W on its own.

Too bad it's so anemic.

As with everything in biology: It depends.

If the enzyme is sufficiently represented in the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), then all you need to do is take a sample of that. Lumbar punctures/spinal taps aren't without risk, but they are considered safe [0]. If the enzyme is not well represented in the CSF, then you'd likely need a tissue sample. You may get lucky and find that the enzyme is represented in the meninges (the membranes that separate your brain from your skull) and take a sample of that [1]. This would not be easy and would have more complications than a spinal tap, of course. If you still don't have good representation of the enzyme, then what's left is an actual brain tissue sample. Likely, you'd take something from the parietal lobe, to minimize cognitive losses and standard of living issues.

Honestly, all these forms of sample recovery are absurdly unethical and would never pass an IRB. Since the enzyme is only being used to 'enhance' people, it's very unlikely you'd ever be allowed to get samples like these. Urine, sure. Saliva, sure. Blood, unlikely. CSF, never. The core issue is that since no harm is being done via these enzymes (supposedly) you can't introduce further harm that these samples require to obtain them. THe ethical issues are pretty black-and-white.

I finally found the perfect notebook. It's ring-bound, and you can add or remove pages from it easily. The paper is very smooth and heavy enough that you can use both sides without bleed-through. Even with a fountain pen.

There are a whole lot of US government employees with access to sensitive information who dont want their real time location available to a hostile foreign intelligence agency. I was lucky enough to start my current job about two months after the entire database of cleared employee personal information (name, DOB, SSN, home address, background check investigation report) was stolen by the Chinese, so this kind of thing is near and dear to my heart.

Additionally the FSB could very well use this data in their persistent campaign of psychological warfare against the entire country. They're smart people, and if they're not using this resource already they probably will by the time the 2020 election heats up.

Are you aware of Steve Keen's work? https://www.patreon.com/ProfSteveKeen

He and his colleagues have developed a simulink-like application for stock-flow consistent modeling of the macroeconomy. And he's had some important insights from very simple models. He's able to easily switch between the "loanable funds" and "endogenous money" models of lending, for example, and show the consequences of lending to the greater economy under those models. He developed that example in order to get neoclassical economists, like Krugman, to abandoned their fallicious loanable funds model, which multiple central banks have stated quite clearly is flat out wrong.
Very interesting. I've got environments where I have no control over how DNS is assigned, so I've wanted to set my phone to point to 1.1.1.1 but that also means I must have a static IP (it's DHCP or static, I can't only change DNS), but when I use static I run into a significant battery drain.[1] Using an app to work around that is a bit of a heavy hammer, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

This thing doesn't seem to be getting much love on here, but I don't have any problem with it - assuming of course that he's actually posting those business pics he said he'd post. Everyone involved is getting something out of it - original photo posters are getting more attention to their work, businesses are getting more exposure and business for what's a trivial cost to them, passive consumers are getting nice pictures and information on things to try.

What it means to society that this is a viable and mildly profitable thing to do is a more interesting question.

FANG interns aren't coffee-runners; you can't give them work you wouldn't give to a real junior engineer. First: doing so undermines your efforts to recruit the intern. Second: doing so undermines your efforts to evaluate the intern. Third: doing so wastes a valuable eng resource you could deploy on something worth launching!

The real problem for Reader was that it wasn't worth any engineering effort (because it only had a couple of million daily active users).
Fortunately for our collective sanity InfoWars listeners ~arent famously bright people.~ havent yet learned of this harassment technique.
It's better than the situation at most companies I have been at: It's basically the personal gain trumps all, but without the actual results. You just have a bunch of populists that talk up a good game, but when it comes time to execute or actually launch something, they are the last person you really want at the helm, but because they have built up a reputation with the higher ups, they are impossible to displace.

From my perspective, this appears to be the situation of most "Health IT" corps and VP of Engineering and above. I've since "sold out" and moved to a digital marketing firm, but in many ways the work here is much more honest than what happened at places I worked at in the name of "health"

It was actually worse than that - Google+ used Reader as a backend. A lot of the stream-merging and ingestion features of Google+ were built on top of the Reader codebase. That meant that when Google+ product needs changed and they needed to alter the backend, they couldn't really do so without branching & disentangling or shutting down the external-facing Reader product. The latter was a much easier course for a time-constrained engineering organization, particularly since Reader as a project had been de-staffed and the engineers (that didn't leave the company) transferred to the Google+ org.
