>See where this falls apart? I can easily get into your home without damaging anything by picking the lock, and if someone was in my house, I'd want them out as fast as possible, and the police saying I have no right to do anything to them until they do something first is a bad idea- if they shoot me, how to I fire back? If they break my valuables, how do I react?

Stealing is a crime. Shooting you is a crime. Simply "being there" should qualify as a crime, or perhaps maybe a misdemeanor, only after some scrutiny. Intent as a factor should have more weight.

Using your house analogy, if a bystander notices the door to your home is wide open, they shouldn't be afraid to check if anyone inside is potentially incapacitated or is having some other emergency, just because entering an open door is a crime under your logic. In one society, a concerned neighbor finds you lying on the floor unconscious, dials 9/11, and emergency services arrives on time for you to be saved. In the other society, nobody checks on you, because why take the risk?

Similarly, the whole concept of "white hat" hacking is something you seem either unfamiliar with and/or at odds with.
Oil well monitoring can work with the crappiest of GSM (a simple SMS every few minutes), no?
As far as I can tell the real motivation for so many feed based services doing this is just that if you stick enough irrelevant non ad shit in users feeds the ads will blend in better. None of these companies will ever publicly admit that that's the intention though.
You're not an outlier here, but here is a bubble inside a bubble. I wore a shirt [0] and tie for my first job interview (video rental store, got the job before I sat down because no other candidate was wearing a shirt and tie) and have worn a suit for every job interview since (although I often take off the jacket once we're sat down).

Apropos of the general subject, I've had to give feedback to more than one person in their probation period along the lines of "buy a belt and use it, nobody wants to see your underwear or what your underwear should be covering". There are some shockingly badly dressed software engineers. Comfortable and casual is one thing, but your clothes falling off you or exposing parts of yourself nobody wants to see?

[0] I think in US English, one would call this a "formal shirt". In England, it's just a shirt.
Note that I'm not necessarily arguing that this line of thinking (5g will obsolete cable companies) is correct, only that that's why mobile operators want it so badly - they want you to be able to drop Comcast and give them your money instead.

That being said there's absolutely no reason why 5G (or even 4G or low Earth orbit Sat) couldn't compete with cable companies on latency. In many places 4G is already lower latency than existing cable networks.

Edit to add: 4G also already offers fast enough connections for 4K and in many places 8K streaming. It's the total capacity that isn't there - they have to put data caps on so people don't do all their streaming on their mobile connection. 5G is more about removing data caps than providing faster speeds.
I am curious how other people have found mind mapping useful.

I only find it useful if the edges mean something logical, like cause/effect, or hierarchical like "A is the boss of B". But when it's merely drawing lines that imply some sort of fuzzy "is related" relationship, or "A makes me think of B", it only leads to a bunch of nodes and lines that are a jumble.
> think I could work for 20-30 minutes?

Barely, maybe. Gesturing with your arms for that long is hard work. I don’t know what the practical limits would be, but even lecturers who hold long speeches with lots of gestures rest their arms on the podium for a reason, and can continue speaking while resting their arms.

> you're taking your lack of imagination and trying to extrapolate it into an all day affair

On the contrary, you’re taking my writing “for any length of time”, and somehow assuming I meant “all day”. Which I didn’t mean. I only used the phrase “all day” in an unrelated aside about voice interfaces, and only then while referring to a study which (IIRC) specifically was about people who talked all day. But this was unrelated to gesture interfaces, which is why I did not follow this line of inquiry.

My point is that gesture interfaces are very hard work to use for longer periods of time (I’m unsure of the exact number), and if they can only be used for shorter periods, are they worth the hassle to learn? If you have work you need to do which takes longer than your arms can handle, you need an alternate interface anyway, (presumably some keyboard/mouse variation which have proven themselves to be reasonably effective) and if you already have that, why do you want to have to learn the gesture one?

This assumes, of course, that no gesture interface can solve the gorilla arm problem. But there might be one. Case in point: iPads were successful in avoiding the gorilla arm problem even though they are touch interfaces which the “gorilla arm” phrase originally refers to, and iPads avoid the problem by being small enough that people can use one while holding their arms in their lap – essentially while mostly resting their arms. There might be some solution to gesture interfaces which I’ve not yet seen.

> your lack of imagination

That’s twice you’ve now insulted me without provocation. Are you upset about the fact that I question the premise on which gesture-based interfaces are based?

The way I see it: If you don't want to run into assholes, you can make your account private. Or, you know, not use Twitter. Its that easy. If you have thicker skin, there are tools to manage public accounts, like blocking and reporting.

A large number of people want to have their cake and eat it too. They want the advantages of a public twitter, primarily publicity and fame, but they can't deal with the darker side of human nature. Twitter should do everything they can to tame that darker side, because fundamentally their platform is built on public discourse, not private cliques, but its a losing battle. And moreover, any control they exert has the unintentional effect of polarizing people further, which makes the problem worse; Twitter is, to a degree, their own worst enemy.

> where you log in and see content relevant to your interests, no matter who posted it

So, Reddit.

Twitter is trying to steer clear of a massive storm on the horizon, except the ship has a hundred million people on it and most of them want to sail right into the Eye. They may be in for a small shock when they realize that it won't work.

Its far beyond the product they publish to the app store; there's a culture on there that you can't just change. You can't change a few lines of code and expect people to behave differently, or still want to install it. Facebook was very smart and knew this; the primary platform got took over by grandmas and bad flash games, so they started buying tangential properties like Insta and Whatsapp.

People are mostly concerned about content rather than picture quality. Netflix can deliver 720p and people will pay for it, some people will pay for 4K because of the marketing but don't actually notice that they're getting 720p, and only a small group of people left over actually care enough.

Just like how TVs come with default settings that mangle the picture quite a lot, and only some people will fix them.
There are situations where http is wanted, the best example are public WiFi networks. Showing another big warning for non-https sites would scare the users more than it currently does with them visiting a https site the first time they're on a public WiFi.

"User engagement" is a euphemism for "eyes on screen for as long as possible" and is a good metric for selling ads (the best one really).

It's not a very good metric for measuring actual usefulness to users at all though.

We need a business model for social media where incentives for companies and their users actually line up.
A quip I read says: "Of course it's totally Putin's fault that Trump won, because actually everyone in the USA loves neoliberalism deep at heart!".

But Facebook became an effective tool for a "voter hacking", if you believe the coverage about Cambridge Analytica: data-mine the Facebook profiles to determine the targets (apparently as little as several thousand people in the swing states), and then use FB's targeted advertising to influence these people with videos you know will get them emotionally. Boom. Hacking elections/voting machines is illegal, but no one ever said anything about hacking the voters, right?
Jack, we want to follow hashtags, not lists. We want to follow people and filter out their political tweets. Force them to tag their tweets for visibility. Show follower counts of a person’s hashtags.

Don’t ban accounts. Let us choose our moderators. You can hide accounts from the mainstream with your moderation. We want to see all accounts. You already do it for porn and countries.

Esp. since the Notre Dame still has the crippled unfinished main towers for ages, and looks much better with those. On the other hand, they decided to finish the Gaudí towers, and they really dont look that well. They should have left it at the Notre Dame half-stage

Hurricane path prediction seems truly a "killer app", or do you think it's not?
As a Romanian, I didn't learn English because I wanted a higher status, but because of necessity. All the things I wanted to learn about were written in English.
I do think it’s a problem. Take anyone’s comment feed and you can cherry pick the most offensive or pointed arguments and create almost any narrative. Anyone else criticized a FAANG at some point but might want a job at one?
I guarantee Twitter’s data scientists are using more than just “amount the user is clicking” to decide whether a UI or ranking change is beneficial.
Zoom to Be Valued at $8bn
You know its quite hard for us Americans to actually to learn to speak a 2nd or 3rd new language fluently, outside of maybe Spanish.

I lived in Turkey for two years, spoke at a conversation level fairly well, but once the other person realized I wasn't Turkish (it wasn't apparent) they wanted to practice their English. I went to Ukraine in December, spent 3 months learning Russian (I was visiting a Russian speaking area), and once they learned I was American (much sooner than Turkey), they wanted to practice their English. The only two counties that let me practice were France and Italy, with the Italians being the most patient in our conversations.

As an American, we want to learn new languages but no one let us practice.
I think that was an awkward way to say a 2 core, 4 thread CPU. IE 2 threads per core.

I find mind maps very useful.

I like to categorize things by branch (and use the number, etc. icons to cross-reference sometimes.)

It's not perfect, but it's better than reams of text. I think sometimes the primary value of the mindmap is the study I put in building it.
I wish there were also tools like this that did paraphrasing. The article mentions the possibility, using deep learning, but doesn't go into any details; and I haven't seen anything that can summarize below the sentence level anywhere else either.

The latest version of fastgrep does not highlight the matched text segment and I think there is a reasonable amount of work that I have to do to make sure that the highlighted text does make sense. Again writing a usable grep command is very hard and I appreciate the effort that you have spent on developing and maintaining ripgrep. BTW, I do use ripgrep in my daily workflow and only use my fastgrep command when I have to deal with huge text files.
Lived in Shanghai for a long time. There are more and more people getting visible tattoos.

Maybe in smaller towns but it's pretty prevalent in Shanghai, Beijing etc.
On the subject of painting restoration, there is a channel on Youtube called Baumgartner Restoration that makes documentary-style videos about restoring old paitings.

I understand that. I was just wondering if the 4k streams (the ones that say 4k|Dolby Vision) are being converted down. I'd guess no.
That's a completely fair point. I'd read a little on it, nothing conclusive, and as md224 pointed out, there's been some back-and-forth, and the science isn't settled. I figured that including "possibly" in my OP covered my bases. I recognize that this might be seen as manipulative though. Could someone suggest an alternate phrasing?

Regardless of the veracity of the bee thing though, I think the salient point is that having lots of EM radiation in the environment will have non-obvious effect, so we should seek a rationale FOR the technology, rather than need a reason to reject it.

This seems to be a problem in general across all social media. They create a platform people like, people join up because they enjoy the format, then they tweak it until it's no longer recognizable. Twitter is a great example of this. No real UI improvements in years, just graphing gone wild. FB is the same.

The social media market seems ripe for a disruption, imho. It sounds crazy, to try and topple these current networks. But it's happened before.

I spent quite a while with SOA, but I find Kubernetes a little different.

To me, SOA is more about the implementation-- especially the old WSDL-driven part.

But Kubernetes is more about infrastructure. The applications are written in different styles and different languages. K8S is more like a platform than anything else, to me.
Ah like Farage monopolising BBCQT - no thank you.
I did exactly that. I had kids studying for AP Chemistry ages 10 to 16, and I think that is when I sat them all down to learn handwriting. I hadn't planned to teach it, because I thought I never used it, but then one day I wrote a non-technical essay (something I hadn't done in many years) and felt a strangely strong urge to use cursive.

I sat everybody down at a table and had them copy my text from a whiteboard. I wrote sentences about random crazy stuff. I would then go over their text, making them fix each spot that could create ambiguity. Explain the ambiguity so that they understand why it is a problem. (if your 'f' has a lower loop that is wide or doesn't descend much, it could be confused with a 'b', etc.) Most days we'd do a few dozen sentences. It wasn't long before they started to be decent at it.

I sure know what you mean about the funny gaps. It is easy to forget something while focusing on other stuff. At one point I had a 14-year-old who couldn't really read. I threw him into AP Chemistry, making him read the book out loud so I could correct him. That worked! It was miserable at first, because he needed correction every few words, but now he reads well.

The problem I see with trying to emulate NumPy with a GPU accelerated version is that the communication overhead to the GPU is so high that you are losing a lot of performance as opposed to something like TensorFlow.

It takes a couple of microseconds just to start a kernel much less the time it takes to transfer data back and forth.
> the only options remaining are delaying brexit again (wouldn't surprise me if they keep delaying it until 2025+) or a hard brexit

The other option is revoking Article 50, either openly or disguised as a second referendum with no Leave option. Neither would particularly surprise me at this point.

ETA: I still wouldn't rule out some form of the WA passing, though. Everyone in Westminster is in blind reactive panic mode now; it's not exactly conducive to good decisions.
Some are for sure, but this kind of stuff often requires specialization which may not be in house. Also often you want a second opinion from outside legal counsel.
Well I'm assuming with a 26% increase in Market Cap (inc. after hours) represents 22B increase in market cap, but the $2 EPS represents ~2.4B so I'd expect a lot of the 82% institution investors knows something that's not contained in these announcements.

It's a pretty big gamble to pay such a high premium and growing (up 3% after hours) unless your confident the settlement greatly benefited QCOM.

Dude we had totally different experiences. When I got my grey badge, I walked in, gave them my forms I was told via email they would need, was then told to wait 3 hours and left to go hang out at the lake. Sunbathed for 2 hours. Came back. Got my badge. No issues.

My team was very underutilized... We got legitimately excited when we came in and there was real work for us to do instead of sitting around and being 'available'.
Then make it an opt-in. Companies should use the more "opt-in" method.

Have you ever tried Twitter lists? I find that having separate streams for "irl friends", "professional network", "people I might want to hire", etc. makes it easy to dip in, get a sense of what's up with that particular set of people/accounts, and then go about my day.
I went to take a look. There were so many people, it's sad that the fire has made it even more of a tourist attraction.
As for the cathedral, it doesn’t seem to be a lot of exterior damage, but all the roof and the spire have disappeared.

Also there's been a fire at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. It's a bad day for old places of worship.
Why not Spanish? (OK, I'm biased being Spanish, but that's not the point).

While it's "only" spoken natively by 40M+ people in the EU, it is spoken globally by more than 1B people. It's, arguably, easier to learn than French and definitely German. Very easy to learn for Italians, Portuguese and Romanians. And it's widely studied in most places. It would also be more "neutral" than picking either French or German.

(edited: minor corrections)
It's only the roof for God's sake. plus the minitower. Nobody sees that from the inside. From the inside it looks nothing happened at all.
Lots of hysteria about a minor incident.
Compare it to the Vienna Stephansdome fire in 1945, where to big wooden blocks fell through the roof and destroyed the whole inner room. Even down to the catacombs. Or the catastrophic fire in Venice, where the whole church was destroyed by renovation works and was not even reerected! Or the destruction in Palmyra or the Twin Towers. They are gone forever.
The Notre Dame roof and center tower is no problem at all to reerect. It's only wood after all, all the important parts are still there.
> even a patch.

I'd expect that once a patch is there and it is consistent it would be applied, whereas just reporting what a fuzzer finds is not too helpful.
Why 8K? Perhaps VR.

VR can be bandwidth intensive. VR immersive-gaming low-end headsets are 60 fps, and high-end are 90 fps. And I've been told 120 fps is a noticeable "like butter" improvement on 90 fps. So a 8K@30 might mean 4K@120.

VR lenses piss away pixels. With a current 1440x1440/eye, you might get only a ~500 pixel circle of crisply clear pixels. So if you want screen-comparable resolution you're all set now... if that screen is a 1980's VGA IBM PC. With this wastage, 5K/eye might let you render virtual 1080p screens.

A headset providing both wide fov and this year's "high" resolution would be about 4K/eye. And I'm thinking about modding a narrow-fov drone headset (less lens blur) with two 4K panels, because I'm tired of waiting for the game-focused VR HMD market to get around to screen-comparable resolution.

"But won't 8K require an insane graphics card?" No. The old generation of VR headsets was doing brute force. Foveated rendering greatly reduces GPU load. And frankly, even without it, I've run a VR desktop (non-immersive low-fps with camera-passthrough) on a WMR HMD using a crufty old laptop's integrated graphics. GPU isn't a blocker for higher resolution HMDs.
