> As for TeX, i personally dislike markup languages where whitespace is treated in a special way since this is source code

just to nitpick: except for APL, white space is treated in a special way in all programming languages to separate tokens :)

Using it to separate text (words and paragraphs) makes perfect sense in this context.
I have confidence humanity will solve the disposal issue soon enough no hand wringing will be required. See: rapid renewables deployment across the globe and the hockey stick EV adoption curve.

It’s not as if this is nuclear waste. Toss it in the ground, wrap it up nicely, and we’ll revisit it in 50-100 years.

I'm on my 9th class, one more to go. I found that Machine Learning had decent involvement from Isbell (he'd chat with us on Slack) and that Operating Systems and HPC and excellent professor participation -- they would hold weekly office hours (video conferenced) and were active on the forums.

There were 1 or 2 of my earlier classes that did feel phoned in, though (but did have strong TA involvement at least).
Wow, such an amazing photo!

Band-aid solution that worked pretty well. Very cheap to implement, widely supported and used by many schools.

Our student's data was still private (no emails or passwords being decrypted) and we did the filtering only based on the domain name. It also didn't require an expensive appliance that would be need if did the filtering based on SNI.

I think using annual salary is a reasonably fair assessment. Assuming it was $50k in today's dollar, the the company's valuation is more reasonable at $20 billion.
It seems like it. If I go to tesla.com/model3 and start the process for a base (standard range = 220 miles) RWD sedan, it's $35k before $3750 federal credit and $1750 state (PA) rebate.

You can get it any color, as long as it's black. Any other color costs $1500, and getting rims different from the total black stock ones are also $1500.

The interior is black cloth with manual seat adjustments and "basic audio." At least on this version, there are no options to change that. Ahh the next step up trim level is "Partial Premium Interior" for $2500.

Cameras may be obsolete, but old camera lenses can be adapted to modern mirrorless cameras pretty easily, and usually they last more than camera bodies. There are some 70s/80s ones that are pretty decent even for modern standards, plus they have a look that modern lenses don't have.. so prices are rising..
Are there any papers already out which focus on the technical aspect of reconstructing the image? I heard that they analyzed 3.5 Petabytes of data for this.
It's an order-of-magnitude estimation. Turbo Tax offers multiple products with different prices. Even if you plug in more exact numbers and use the cheapest product you get a hefty sum of 9 billion (150M individual returns * $60). IRS total budget is 11.5 billion and they do way more than just process returns.

There is no way an e-File system run by IRS would costs additional 9 billion dollars per year. They already do most of the calculation internally.

Quite the opposite. We don't want MITM and this may force that direction.
Google found a threat model where attackers inject http:// .exe links into https:// web pages. This exposes a flaw in mixed-content handling, where web pages don’t allow http:// resources to be loaded - but DO allow resources to be downloaded. Addressing that flaw for all file types would probably break a lot of the internet, but not for .exe (in their apparent estimation). I look forward to hearing what the Firefox and Edge teams think of this.

TLDR: In this approach, http:// sites can link http:// executables, but https:// sites cannot.

This is stupid:

"if an AI system diagnoses you with cancer sometime in the future, the EU’s guidelines would want to make sure that a number of things take place:"

3 things:

* that the software wasn’t biased by your race or gender

So it should have equal likelihood for breast and prostate cancer for men and women ? Work with equal chances for skin cancer for Europeans vs Africans ?

Why not equal odds of pregnancy as a diagnosis for men and women ?

I hope people can understand that medical diagnosis is an exception to the general rule. Discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, and every other physical property is of course a very good thing. I mean, assuming you want the correct treatment, which implies getting a correct diagnosis first. Different physical properties lead to different problems with those physical properties. Very few diseases have equal incidence for different ethnicities and therefore doctors ... should be racist when it comes to diagnosing patients.

* that it didn’t override the objections of a human doctor

That's one of the things you definitely want it to do. AIs should

* that it gave the patient the option to have their diagnosis explained to them.

Having diagnoses explained is an illusion: you do not have the requisite knowledge to understand why a doctor arrives at a certain conclusion, so your understanding of why that conclusion was reached cannot be very complete.

A good doctor will make you feel it is, but reality is that it just isn't.
The author of the post above yours absolutely concur. Everybody uses software. Few have even a basic conception of how it works.
In my uni days "philosopher king" aspirants I knew would usually steal or not return library books. It was nothing to them - as if they felt their mission entitled them to a life above the trivial rules the rest of us had to work by.

I didn't ask but I think all were left-leaning. You just don't see that attitude among right-leaning and libertarian students.
One of the advantages of borosilicate glass kitchenware is that you can put it in the oven, fridge, and microwave. Bonding metal to it with a joint that only works up to 90C obviates most of that utility. The only problem with borosilicate glass vessels as they are is that they don't work on inductive cooktops.

That joint is going to have to handle 300C in order to make it into my kitchen. I might go for a glass/ceramic liner in an aluminum pan, particularly if the ceramic is BAM, but that's going to get hot.

I'd actually look for this first in LED lenses bonded to aluminum heat sinks. A good bond there might allow for higher wattage through the electronic parts. An operating range between -50C and 90C encompasses the operating range of most consumer electronics, plus some margin.
Not at the well-respected school I went to.
I don't know! I actually strongly lean toward the Norquist "taxes suck and need to be lower" approach. But for me, that was about making sure people are aware of the rate and amount. Making it painful to file is just sadistic (as I might have suggested before).
Things are changing again. My optician used to work as you described, but for my last set of glasses I would choose the frame and he would enter my lens specification into the manufacturers webpage. The manufacturer (a German brand) with a Singapore factory would produce then the desired frame and equip it with the fitting lenses and send off the bundle to my optician here in Germany. As I had the same lens specs as my previous glasses, I can say that the new glasses are optically superior and the whole package was even distinctively cheaper than the previous one.
Are you saying people shouldn't be driving if they have something on their mind or a passenger they're chatting with?
I 100% agree with you that simple taxes should be easier to submit. The IRS could & should send you a pre-filled simple tax form that you have the option to sign & send back or agree to online. No "competing" software solution required.

I don't think the IRS should build software for complex taxes & strategies is all I'm saying. That's what accountants are for.

I do understand the argument that a simple pre-done tax solution would mean some people would miss out on deductions. But if you calculate the time & cost it currently takes to submit your taxes, it probably equals out.
Which many countries do already.

In France, before this year, if you were an employee, you rarely filled a tax form, you just validated a prefilled one, usually with one click on the internet.

Now it's just taken every month from your salary, and you get a chance to correct it once a year.

Yep I think this is a very good idea too. It is a way of reusing existing spectrum space. Besides small cell networks use low powers and being portable they can deployed on demand.

I would argue that "hype", or as you say "showmanship", is actually damaging when it comes to science. Maybe it's just me, but I try to stay away from pop-science news sites because of all the hype they're filled with. As others have said, I like scientific conferences to provide the evidence, that is enough for me. As for the "early in the morning", as I already said, is a consequence of trying to make it possible for as many people as possible to follow the conference, I don't think anyone would be against another conference in the evening for american viewers. There were 5 "locales": Brussels, Santiago, Taipei, Tokyo, Washington. Unless I missed something, I still disagree with you.
The pleasure of driving for me does not come from making thousands of micro-adjustments constantly, in fact that's what makes a road trip exhausting.

That was a super interesting read (and view), thank you. I've been in Linux land for almost two decades, but I've also spent a week (or so) porting our Linux-based development environment over to Windows with the help of WSL. This sheds some light on how it actually works. Maybe I'll have to look over it once more armed with this new information and see if I can squash some of those remaining problems with our solution.
Not in Ultra High Vacuum systems. There's no surface on the inside except glass or metall that can be outgased for some time at high temperature.

Since we need to heat the system to speed up the outgasing process, the expansion coefficients for the joints between metall and glass must be very closely matched.

Are you sure? My experience so far has shown that only dnscrypt is widely supported.

Nevertheless, surely they must had some kind of issue with the existing solutions when they started working on it.

As for DNS over QUIC, I was under the impression that said solution did not make use of HTTP.

Discord is a pretty decent company so far IMO, I figure if they're okay with 3rd party clients then they'll be extra lenient on the rules. So far their success has been how much the community loves love (not to mention how well it works).
> then downvoting on ideological grounds

I downvoted a clearly factually wrong statement, namely that "all preorders were delivered in one month".

The "754%" were a direct quote, source above, that indicates clearly that March wasn't the first (and only) month with increased sales due to the Model 3. Individual sales figures for the Model 3 were not available to me, otherwise I would have posted them (my estimate is around 280-300).
Superficially org looks similar to markdown, but the kinds of manipulations you can do with TODO lists, calendars, tables within emacs is like magic. It's nothing like markdown when you use it this way.
There are effectively three 2.4 GHz channels and about six 5 GHz channels, but because the range of 5 GHz is so much smaller you should be able to find on open 5 GHz channel even in the densest, tech heavy, apartment building.

As the author said in the comment section: "I usually suggest turning 2.4 GHz off altogether so none of your users will ever connect to it by accident."

As for AP's sharing channels, this is great in concept but our (3 unit) building became so overcrowded in the 2.4 GHz spectrum that devices couldn't connect which caused people to add more routers and repeaters to "boost" the signal making it even worse. If you can't connect, you can't share.
You're delusional if you think a 40 year old engineer can't find work. While standards can change over 5 years, companies certainly aren't retooling every 5 years. Once you get going and scale, you tend to stick with what works for tons of reasons

One thing missing from @petschge's reply: adding more telescopes! This will not improve the imaging the smallest possible features, but will make features larger (disk and / or jet components) more prominent. The more telescope pairs with different distance between them are added, the more complete the picture will get - up to a limit of having a single antenna roughly the size of Earth.

Furthermore, adding more telescopes will help better image the fainter features in the image (due to larger total collecting surface).
The USA prices are always without taxes while European prices usually contain VAT, which can be as high as 20%. On top of that there are import duties at least into EU countries. Most importantly, the deliveries in Europe started with the AWD configurations which start at $50k in the US too.

Writing a Simple Waypoint System in Augmented Reality on iOS
Such free-style formats are easy and addictive, but you eventually hit some well-hidden sharp corners. For example I missed some deadlines without any warning from emacs nor any indication with syntax higlighting when I had:

* TODO stuff
text <- no text should be here!!
DEADLINE: <date>

Not to mention I am vim user and ANY vim compatibility layer for emacs eventually goes infuriatingly against my muscle memory.
"Ownership" goes to whoever can hold to a piece of land. That's how the US and everyone else did it.
Case in point is Commander Perry planting the US flag on Key West and no-one else being able to challenge it. Guam (and of course the Philippines) taken from the Spanish following the war of 1898, etc.

China has learned that and won't let borders in its vicinity being decided by Western powers anymore.

The reality is that no-one is going to take those islands away from China anymore as China understood the importance of physical occupation.

Those islands are thousands of miles from the US's mainland. Those exercises are geopolitical muscle flexing. Of course they are.
That appears to be exactly RecordIO. It even has transposition. Is there a reason that doesn't meet your requirements?

Edit: it even includes an open source implementation of Cord, which they've renamed to Chain for some reason.
I don't think there is a good solution. Yes, you own the network and think you should be technologically able to block access to certain websites (which the school has the right to do), but ISPs also "own" the network and would also be able to block access to certain websites if it were possible with DoH+eSNI.

I guess a solution is MDM, but that's still getting students to install something on their device.
Agreed. There's a lot to like about the cars, but they're very invasive.

Luckily you can get a service manual in Massachusetts (or at least electronic access)

If I were to buy one my first move would be to remove the modem and WiFi.

Even then I don't like the amount of data it records internally.
> (Similarly to how Germany is .de, not .gr or something like that.)

The country-specific TLDs are all ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, if I recall correctly. Germany's code in that spec is "DE", so that is what they were allotted.
Existing tech is not hard. Tech that hasn't yet been invented is hard. That's where the money is made.
I am no sysadmin but working closely with some. I have never seen any case where HTTPS-MITM helps. Yes, theoretically it does allow us to scan for malicious content in a secured connection. Brilliant, but that are not the attack vectors they are concerned about.

So what is left is that breaking up TLS just infringes on privacy and allows for tighter control. The security aspect is laughable.

Users are angry that their internet got slower, an it creates an enormous administrative cost, because you need countless exceptions to the rules.

Most developers break out of it in a few days...

Doesn't that apply only if the other company is a competitor to you? E.g. a shoemaker named Microsoft could get the domain if it was clear they're using the name fairly.
A student who really wants to see "the bad" on the internet isn't scared off by blocking some DNS/VPN/proxy traffic. This is wishful thinking.

The easiest work-around for students who want to show their mates some "cool porn" is to just save it at home. Or connect to the free wifi of <random shop> in reach.
If DoH is backed by e.g. Google, won't they just end up exposing DoH on the same IP addresses serving www.google.com? Similarly, what if e.g. CloudFlare expose their DoH on all their addresses? This seems like the obvious next step for them.
The attack can only happen in an unusual setting (nodes using external PSKs that can act as both client and server simultaneously), meaning that this vulnerability will not have too much impact on the open internet.

The more interesting issue here is that this sort of vulnerability should/could have been found through the numerous proofs of security that were created for TLS1.3.

IMO the most interesting insights that can be found in this paper come from section 6, where they consider how the proofs missed. It turns out that the proofs did not consider the possibility that a client and a server would simultaneously possess the same PSK, but IRL the sub-entities of a single node will do so.
When all the HTTP security problem of the 1st download of VLC will get fixed?

It seems that they are really insisting with some not-declared reason, to go against any security analysis.

Is the VLC paid by EADS and/or French intelligence to enable man in the middle to inject malware in keeping HTTP in clear-text available?

With Alexa top-500 website, representing more than 80% of internet traffic, being in HTTPS i can only see nasty, hidden reasons to maintain the HTTP VULNERABILITY OF VLC

See https://gist.github.com/elimisteve/69077a93d21b8bf8a02a362c8...

Is VLC paid by French intelligence to maintain this vulnerability open?
This is certainly a valid argument, though two of the other solutions (plus dns over tls) avoid this issue as well.
