Tattoos are generally stigmatized in most of East Asia: China, Korea, Japan and cultures affected by these countries.

Although there are some ties to the past with tattoos predominantly being used by outlaws, criminals, prisoners, slaves (prisoners and slaves were branded with tattoos on the face to ensure people knew who they were and was also considered a punishment of its own) or soldiers (in certain periods of history, soldiers weren't respected in China and considered a lowly job as there was a high chance of death and they often were involved in pillaging in the more chaotic times), modern-day stigma is from criminals and gangsters who would use tattoos to differentiate themselves and show themselves as "hard and not to be messed with" or to inspire courage within themselves.

Nowadays its a bit more relaxed but even now people will hide tattoos in job interviews because it can mean an automatic rejection.
It does. And exchanges and other venues are continually updating to prevent market micro-structure from being able to be easily exploited.
The 4g network tower can only handle so many devices connected to it. 5g also solves that problem. Speed is great but the big change is that the towers can handle many more devices (which is why it’s touted as the reason why iot/selfdrivingcars/etc can now work. If you’ve ever been to a large conference or festival, you can see what happens when too many devices try to use the network. It just loses all reliability and speed.

So the shorter distance the 5g signals go also mean more towers with more connections. My point is, don’t focus on the speed as being the huge innovation, it’s the number of devices possible. Although once it’s available, you will see apps come out that you may not have expected that take advantage of the higher speeds to do cool things.

But yes, we need to move in the direction of 5g or something similar to allow the tech you listed to take off.
I’m not trolling, can’t I give feedback to someone? It didn’t look like misspellings from a non native (e.g. catle vs cattle), but from rushed typing (e.g. he truned back). He fixed his post now, so I’m making due with examples to illustrate where I was coming from.

At the high cost of performance. As a consumer I am not really concerned with how easy it is to develop for. I'd rather see high frame rates than bleeding edge graphics. It's a good technology, but if we can't even manage 60 FPS minimum in 2020 I will be highly disappointed.
> 50 million workers in the U.S. and $8 billion," Reif said.

What sort of expectations should one have for a $160/yr/employee expenditure? The employee's feeling that the employer cares might not show immediate health benefits but it's surely a good thing in light of this incredible churn:

> Many employers have what Reif referred to as a "decent" annual turnover rate in employees (10%)
The Coders At Work interview with Fran Allen really hammered home that point. Which begs the question, why did C get so popular? I guess what programmers like to use isn't really what is always best for them. People like to ride motorcycles and programmers like to use C.
That's a little weird. I lived in an area that had fiber installed, it's pretty nonintrusive. The fiber is laid under the side walk and the last bit from the side walk to the house is blasted in. You have a small hole dug by the house and another one by the side walk, no trenches needed.

At no point does a fiber installation require digging up an entire road or even your lawn.
What “whole process” do you mean? They’ll send you an invoice they’ve generated. If their setup is good it probably takes < 5 minutes to generate and send.

What you do with it afterwards in terms of recording expenses, organising payment etc is your responsibility.
Do you think the fact that the CT scanner at your local hospital needs to be calibrated and computationally reconstructed from X-ray intensities mean it does not result in an "image"?

When we use side-scan sonar to create representations of the ocean floor (e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Laevavrakk_"Aid".png), they are computationally reconstructed from the raw data which are not intrinsically recognized as pixels without reconstruction. Are these not "images"?

What is your actual contention here? Is it that any representation which is not the result of a traditional visible-light camera doesn't count as an "image"?

If so it's an irrelevant distinction to make. If not, you need to articulate in a specific and informed way why the way they reconstructed the image was wrong or could be improved.

It seems from your blog that you don't really understand what a "prior" is and why it might be useful for this kind of signal processing.
I’m also reminded of the Temple of David in Jerusalem or the more recent rebuilding of the shrines in Timbuktu. Permanence is about constant rebirth.

>Parkinson's Law. Increase in 5G bandwidth will be filled with next-gen media.

Perhaps, Jevons paradox might be more apt in this case, as huge investments in 5G Infrastructure indicate that 4G/LTE efficiency/usage ratio has peaked.

Nevertheless, any nascent demand for next-gen media in the next few years can be served via 5G NR, Wi-Fi 6 and inter-related standards like Wi-Fi HaLow,Vantage etc.[1] and Blutetooth 5 with synergistic and overlapping features, until 'real' 5G establishes itself, sometime in the next decade.[2][3]

Totally worth it, even if to just add momentum to building space infrastructure and increase world's competence in space technologies.

Things have changed quite a bit over past 20 years. Launches are getting much cheaper now, and satellites are getting smaller. I imagine costs could be brought down, especially if the scope of the mission was limited to e.g. simple constellation for radiointerferometry.
Substitute SOA for Kubernetes et al and it reads perfectly well :)
"Cache" term in MTA-STS is misleading. Standard encourages to fetch new policy even before expiration of cached copy. If you have some cached policy and "id" is not updated since then, you may skip actual request to policy server via HTTPS.

In MTA-STS "cache" is more like fallback minimum known to sending party.
It's a fun comparison there, because 1080p to 4K demands a doubling of bandwidth, and h.264 to h.265 lets you cut bandwidth in half. So you get all that extra quality for free.
>I'm not saying it's imperative we go there. Only that that's where we're headed. For better of worse. Like it or not.

> ECC memory support in such a small package is interesting

Intel has been equipping Atom SoCs with ECC support for a while now. For example the Atom c3950 - 16 cores, ecc memory, 24w TDP, and a tray price of $389.00

PS5 will support 8K just like PS3 supported 1080p: it was there but almost no one used it. Nearly every game opted for 720p instead. It's a way to future-proof the generation, allowing for a future enhanced version of the console.
Because potentially "your network" goes away. You have no home-based "line".

Not just that: by trying to decouple the content you see from the people you choose it makes specific people leaving Twitter less meaningful. I don't really engage on Twitter so I'm only there to follow a few people, if they left I'd leave.

“Rule of Law” also means following the extradition treaties you signed. And contrary to HN, countries such as the UK simply believe that the rule of law is also somewhat intact in the US, and that therefore claims of political prosecution are somewhat frivolous.

Why? The sites backhauls could be wires or wireless, it doesn't matter much as the backhaul is independent of the interface tranceiver. The sites interface would be attenuated for the short ranges. We can do this today with Wifi, every always thinks more power is better but sometimes less is more.

Samsung's 28Ghz solution was rated at something like 1500ft at maximum power. So one per city block might be more realistic than one per lamp post but it will ultimately come down to capacity. The mmWave portion of 5G is designed to high density deployments.
> Memory safety by proof was coming along well in the early 1980s. Working systems existed. Automatic prover technology was working. Then came C.

Have you ever done this and had it turn out successfully? Because my intuition is screaming at me that this would be disastrous.

For one, it skips the step where you break down the tasks. For another, it seems likely to ignore a bunch of variables in the search for something similar enough.

> The insight that proofs and types are analogous is an interesting one, but all of this (the writing, the math, and the code) strikes me as fairly impenetrable. It does not surprise me that this is rarely mentioned in industry.

Yes, it does look impenetrable but the high-level idea is fairly intuitive and it's the foundation of many formal proof assistants (e.g. Coq, Idris).

I see comments quite often where people suspect some vague links between writing maths proofs and type checking computer programs so I think it's worth knowing a very deep connection has been known about this and researched for decades.
I had no idea the "bell, book, and candle" in Nethack were from Zork. I gathered that it was from _something_ (since nearly everything else in it is) but didn't know what.
I've always wondered if we could scale the term of the law with the vote total.

For example, lets say your state legislature has 100 representatives. You could require sunset clauses as follows:

51-55 votes: 2 years
56-60 votes: 5 years
61-80 votes: 10 years
81+ votes: No expiration

Then those bills that are narrowly passed would result in a law with a limited shelf-life.

> As a consumer I am not really concerned with how easy it is to develop for.

I don't see how this could possibly be. Ease of development could mean the difference between your next favorite game existing at all. Or having the funds to become your next favorite game instead of cutting scope into a mediocre game that never got to realize its full creative ambition.

All upstream concerns contribute to the end result that you do care about.

Anything that helps people create AAA-quality games without needing the coffers of Electronic Arts is good for gamers.

> The writ “was not a simple request for assistance in a criminal case,” explained Sewell. “It was a forty-two-page pleading by the government that started out with this litany of the horrible things that had been done in San Bernardino. And then this... somewhat biased litany of all the times that Apple had said no to what were portrayed as very reasonable requests. So this was what, in the law, we call a speaking complaint. It was meant to from day one tell a story... that would get the public against Apple.”

> The team came to the conclusion that the judge’s order was a PR move—a very public arm twisting to pressure Apple into complying with the FBI’s demands—and that it could be serious trouble for the company. Apple “is a famous, incredibly powerful consumer brand and we are going to be standing up against the FBI and saying in effect, ‘No, we’re not going to give you the thing that you’re looking for to try to deal with this terrorist threat,’” said Sewell.
There have got to be other solutions for radio astronomy. Let's look at options like putting telescope relays at lagrange points, or in orbit of other planets where there is no spectrum interference.

The black hole pic was cool, but you know what would make it even cooler and higher-res? Using the same technique with an even wider array (interplanetary) telescopes.
The history of tattooing is vast, as with any subculture. There's a lot of history with bikers, gangs, tribes, artists, healers, etc. You should read about the history of Russian prison tattoos[1].

I would think that it’s hard to do those without the gorilla arm problem, since I haven’t seen any without it. If you have, please elaborate.

> Of course, I'd like eye-tracking and voice UI too.

Sure, those are no problem for the arms. But, IIRC, people whose job it is to talk all day have been shown to have a higher rate of vocal cord cancer. But, sure, that’s a different problem.

> How about Iron Man's Jarvis?

The movies (of which your linked clip is a representative sample) essentially show a Minority Report-style interface with a holographic display instead of a large flat display. Nothing about the gestures themselves changes, so from what I can tell, it, too, would have the gorilla arm problem if it were to be used for any length of time.

> Would you have had a silly little rant over that too?

I really don’t think anything I wrote deserved that jab.
The policy itself doesn't matter. The entire point is that your government has elected a prime minister that is in disagreement with almost the entire parliament which does not want the withdrawal agreement you are talking about. So the only options remaining are delaying brexit again (wouldn't surprise me if they keep delaying it until 2025+) or a hard brexit which makes relations with the US just as likely as relations with the EU.

Keybr.com is great. I really appreciated their charts on layouts.

I typed above 85 wpm on average, maxing at about 110. My left hand is proper home row. My right hand is angled with index and middle on j and n, moving around a bit. The chart finally explains why I do this. The left hand side is mostly evenly distributed (on QWERTY). The right hand side is sort of diagonally bimodal. It also clicked with me that I do this to get quick access to backspace with my pinky. Backspace doesn’t appear as a consideration for many keyboard layouts. I hit it a lot.

In all the traffic light controlled on-ramps I've seen in the USA, the lights specifically only allow 1 car per green (and they have signs indicating such).

They make a lot of sense. Traffic entering an on-ramp will usually come in bursts from traffic light. A burst of cars will have a much harder time merging with traffic than a trickle. So rather than creating, for example, a group of 20 cars every 60 seconds trying to merge at once, the on-ramp traffic light throttles that to 1 car every 3 seconds. Total throughput is the same, but the effect on existing highway traffic is significantly reduced.
Organizations will eventually realize they can stand up their own social infrastructure (see ActivityPub).

It'll be interesting to see how Jack Dorsey reacts to that.

Offer hosted ActivityPub federation utilizing your existing Twitter platform. In other words, become the "Google Apps for Your Domain/G Suite" for hosted ActivityPub instances. Media organizations, governments, and celebs should be paying a premium for the content hosting you provide today for free.
