I'm thankful your wife had the wherewithal to persist in both her research and pestering of medical professionals. We recently faced a similar situation with our young daughter (was 20mo at the time), who was diagnosed with a rare intracardiac tumor last fall. The first prognosis we received (from the chief pediatric cardio-thoracic surgeon at Stanford) was that it was inoperable and we should take her home and enjoy her while she was healthy.

Thankfully my wife also persisted and three additional opinions later we found the right place with the right professionals and demonstrated experience and our daughter is doing great post-surgery.

We learned the same hard lesson you have, both regarding the healthcare community AND family/social support. I feel particularly bad for the huge population of folks who are unable -- for whatever reason, it could be lack of insurance or it could be lack of education, or lack of funds -- to ensure their family receive the best care possible.

Good news! Bandcamp is now offering artists an in-house vinyl pressing service.
Where I live the streets are so much better than the bike paths. I tend to residential since they're quieter but damn, I would love to have some nicely maintained dedicated lanes.
> This is why it's so important that we resist pressure to upload everything to the cloud. Buy a 64 or 128GiB flash drive and put your whole collection there. (plus one probably for backup). Copy it to all your local machine(s). Copy the important stuff to your mobile.

Collections are not static. I discover new music every once in a while. Syncing with cloud makes sense; it is just that you could be the owner of the hardware behind the cloud, to maintain privacy or you encrypt the data in the cloud (or both, and use one cloud as backup).

You could use rsync or something with a flash drive though. Android smartphones will happily eat microSD cards containing hundreds of GB of music.

Which means the iPod Classic 160 GB is finally obsolete. However I think you can hack those devices anyway, to put in a new 2.5" SATA SSD (if they eat SATA).
> I'd like to grow a MP3 and digital movie collection.

Don't use mp3, use flac. You might not be able to hear the difference, but storage is cheap, and if you're collecting mp3 now, you can't just say "I want flac now", you'd have to start over. Go with flac, you can always convert to mp3 if you want to put something on a simple player or a usb stick for you car.
> I can see why Apple wanted this to simplify distribution via their Appstore, but IMO that's mostly to work-around their specific distribution problems. I don't see any of those problems on Linux.

This predates the Appstore by a huge margin. They added universal binaries to make the transition between 32bit and 64bit seamless. And it worked really well actually.

Soon after tools popped up to reduce the binary sizes by stripping out the 64 or 32 bit part of it.

The other part that's a bit special is that apple has these special variables @executable_path, @loader_path, @rpath in linker options with an install_name_tool that allowed(s?) you to rewrite the system path to an application specific one, which allowed you to bundle the necessary libraries with a linker path that's relative to the executable or app resource path. I think this has gotten better recently, but pretty much everyone struggled with this at the beginning.

In linux it was basically outsourced to system packaging. So the developers outsourced it to the distro, whereas in Mac environment because of the lack of said packaging, the burden was placed on whoever is distributing software. Making people think twice about what they link.

I don't have that problem. I find find ragged-right with no hyphenation less pleasant to read and to look at. When I'm reading a novel on my Kindle, I have it set ragged-right because the Kindle doesn't justify well (just word spacing I think). Same on the web. But when I can get good justification and hyphenation, like on a properly typeset PDF or physical book, I prefer it.
Is it “Google” or a single permission-to-fail R&D team at Google headed by the creator of Swift that focussed on languages with features like those of Swift and ultimately settled on Swift?

Because Google is fairly well known for being a “decide as late as possible, often after multiple competing options from different teams are in place and being used in real signifcant applications” organization.

I think the approach is different. String diagrams is a small DSL while the above is intended to be more foundational and be used to bootstrap and translate between various specific diagrammatic theories (including String diagrams).

> The study of each of these ‘diagrammatic theories’, each modelling a separate part of cognitive, physical, or mathematical reality, are currently separate. Our grand vision is to develop a fully integrated framework, in which all of the above can be comprehended and dealt with together.

> More deeply, this approach can also be applied to the study of diagrammatic theories themselves [12, 33]. As such, it is its own ‘metatheory’. One major goal of the project will be to understand to what extent this can serve as a foundation for mathematics itself, as a replacement for set theory.

Also, as an ironic side note in relation with the article, some of the diagrammatic theories that have been elaborated by this group include diagrams that contain (and not just represent) matrices. I don't know why I'm commenting in this thread, I don't understand anything in these papers, I just know it describes what I see, i.e. the great universal diagram. Don't you see it ?

Eh, the JFK assassination is more people wanting a conspiracy over the boring explanations rather than an unsolved murder.
you will find below a 2018 article (in French), it lists a 23% rise in injuries, though fatalies appear stable year on year. Experts are cited as expecting a sharp rise of both with the increasing numbers of "trottinettes électriques". Seeing the people ride everyday (headphones on, no helmet), it seems like it's pretty much a statistical certainty.

Why I play mp3/4 with cementine and various other open source players directly from my harddisk? Because no ads, no spying, no algorythms. I use to use last.fm but I turn it off now and just use it to find new music based on searches if I feel like it.

Programming solutions for familiar problems in a functional way
I'd say you're best of examining what role gaming is serving for you. If you're mentally drained from work, it's likely with or without games you're not going to progress much on more coding. If you're using games as a social outlet retreating into code (even if it's something you're passionate about) could be harmful in the long run.

Addressing why you turn to games will help lay the foundation to feel like you have more choice in how you spend your free time.
Sounds like a good time for a valuable life lesson about gauging counterparty interest in the topic at hand. Which so many people in the CS program at uni could have used.

AMD's server market share is minuscule and dropped as of 19Q1, 3.2% to 2.9%, although healthier and growing smartly in desktops and notebooks, up to 17.1% and 13.1% as of last quarter (I would guess the two are related if the comments made in this discussion about their being fab capacity limited are correct). That means they're less significant targets for researchers than Intel and ARM. We might also assume AMD has less manpower to devote to finding vulnerabilities than Intel has.

These latest Intel vulnerabilities, Foreshadow/L1TF and this week's? They're all targeting Intel specific details, for example the first Foreshadow version targets the SGX enclave. See also ARM's Cortex-A72 Rogue System Register Read (RSRE), Spectre Variant 3a vunerability: https://developer.arm.com/support/arm-security-updates/specu...

The odds that AMD specific features have vulnerabilities than simply haven't been looked for yet is very high, their Spectre vulnerabilities show that they too generally got caught with their pants down.
> Information should be free. Humanity as a whole benefits from free access to it.

There's no question that humanity benefits from free access to information. But humanity also benefits from high quality information, and the way you get there is by rewarding people for producing it. Most great modern literature is the result of publishers who paid authors for their work. Free information is great, but in my opinion, it's not worth losing the literature from Dickens, Tolstoy or Fitzgerald, or countless other great authors whose work is available at a reasonable price and at least some of whom (I'd venture to guess most of whom) might not have written these works without monetary incentive. And that monetary incentive only exists because we grant people exclusive rights to their intellectual property.
Should be obvious. Browser penetration (MSIE was once the most popular web browser), and therefore they couldn't monetize the smartphone market via their desktop dominance.
I think we should take the opposite approach for executives. Rather than say they probably didn’t make any decision that specifically led to a given outcome, let’s assume that they are responsible for any given outcome within their organization unless proven otherwise.

Isn’t that the whole point of leadership? You’re in control, and in exchange you’re also responsible.

I don’t think this means being an executive in any business would be gambling with your freedom. Businesses could be set up to have better processes and better control. One of the reasons that many businesses are set up so that huge problems can happen without any explicit decision from an executive is because this means nobody is held responsible. The entire system is set up so that you can get away with absolutely heinous shit as long as the chain of responsibility is unclear. Of course we end up with unclear chains of responsibility being the norm!

I do suspect that a world where executives are held responsible by default would involve much smaller companies than we see today. And that seems just fine. If a company of 38,000 people can make dozens of false police reports resulting in arrest and jail time and get away with it with no real consequences because responsibility is too hard to pin down, then 38,000 is too large for a company to be.
I had thought they were going to say that they use celebrity images to train the systems. Because celebrities are an incredible training set for facial recognition.

Consider: You want to train a one-shot matching system for taking photos from crime scene cameras and searching a database of drivers licence photos. You need a training set of different images of the same person, and then lots of those sets for different people. Boom: celebrities! They have thousands of photos from thousands of angles. Poorly taken shots by paparazzi. Stills from films at a zillion different angles. And some nice, face-on shots like a drivers licence photo. (Heck, if it's the police they have access to that celebrity's actual DL photo).

The one nice side about training that way is that most celebrities are really good looking people, so only the really pretty criminals will be caught thanks to training bias.
This is a great idea. Having multiple side projects, one can easily get lost on objectives.

Part of the discrepancy is also that I'm from the Australian car market and our prices for fast cars are insane compared with the U.S. so my baseline is skewed. :/

Also a P3D is much cheaper for similar price (https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/p3d-base-price), and the 3.3s 0-100 mentioned was for a P3D+ not a S100D.
That solution leaves out kids without friends; I understand why they do it but it may be a price too high to pay.
Unless you've got tools on the level of what the CIA or NSA has, you're probably not cracking the encryption, but I agree it's bad to mislead your clients (and also creates some conflict of interest concerns). It kind of reminds me of when a family member is having computer problems and asks me to fix things. They think I have some sort of deep knowledge of how the computer works and can pinpoint their exact problem to fix it, when in reality I just back up their files and reinstall windows without really knowing why things were messed up.

It was easier and more reliable to manufacture the reference kilo in the past. With the new redefinition, you can make your own reference gram, nanogram, megagram, etc.

Your intuition is correct -- it is possible to build more-precise intercomparison tools at the gram scale than the kilogram scale, but until next Monday, our units are referenced to Le Grand K, and any gram-reference must subdivide the absolute standard. After Monday, you're free to build your own gram-scale Kibble balance and call it an absolute standard.
I was going to say the same thing. I'd be really surprised if they didn't have some sort of blueprint link from full game -> mobile.

Seems a no-brainer.
It seems to me that these results don't take into account the fact that presidents inherit the policies of the previous terms. Some presidents can ride on the coat tails of former policies and take the credit or blame just because they're the ones serving. It can take as long as 8 years before the consequences of bad policy can rear its ugly head.
No, they lost because, even with better engineering (at least for the Germans), they couldn't match America's industrial production capability. American tanks (esp. the Sherman) were total crap compared to German tanks, but they could pump them out at many times the volume the Germans could. Quantity over quality.

In addition, America was protected by two large oceans, so its industrial production capabilities were never affected by the enemy. Germany's factories were constantly being bombed.

And finally, on top of all that, America entered the war late, and by that time Germany was already softened a lot from fighting with France, Britain, Russia, etc. If they hadn't been stupid enough to invade Russia, we might not be having this exchange.

Have the organization responsible of managing the PKI to generate a new subkey from your primary key (kept in cold storage) and publish a certificate revocation for the previous subkey lost/leaked.

Most of our ID cards (health, driving license) already have an expiration date and the subkeys should have one anyway.

> If they think they can boil my kids into a single number without bothering to find the context of who my kids are then I will game it to as much as possible.

They don't. In fact, that seems to be exactly the problem this addresses, since with this the SAT would no longer be boiling kids into a single number, and it would be incorporating more context than the status quo.

Because i have to tell you, when even video game posts that mention grass can be about climate change - it’s not helping the cause. It’s going to make people sick of hearing about it - regardless if they agree and won’t sway someone if they don’t.

I love how the introductory video gives you a big picture of different ways the math can be applied to real life scenarios. I wish they did this more frequently at school. Often the students did not understand at the beginning how all these stuff could be useful and thus they did not invest in the effort or were not interested at all. Each curriculum at school should have an introductory course that clearly outlines and explains how the content of each course can be applied to real life scenarios, including examples of use cases that help students understand the big picture and to motivate them.

The UX is certainly worse, especially on Win10 where it displays a tiny popup at the bottom right side (at least in Vista and 7 it had a popup at the center and IIRC the popup even had an icon of the game/program if autorun specified one). For most users it isn't a practical issue though, just a lesser experience. If you are comfortable with computers after a while you ghost through such popups :-P.

Having said that i did have my aunt (who is generally afraid that if she does something wrong the computer will break forever) spell me out the options in a popup (for a photo dvd she got from a photographer for a relative's graduation) over the phone once though, so i'm sure that, if nothing else, it can be a bit unexpected for less knowledgeable users.
The Verge article mentions an in-game currency (rupees) so I expect they are going down the 'in-game shop' route. With the option that you grind for the in-game currency or you can just swap real money for game money. Hopefully they wont make this pay to win and stick to just cosmetics. They have stated in the FAQ that they are not doing loot boxes so there is hope.

The standard kilo was/is stored in a vault inside several bell jars and only removed once every ~30 years to compare with the world's national reference/transfer standards.

As far as I know, the mechanism by which Le Grand K is drifting with respect to all of the national references is not known.

To leave it on a balance (which must be operated/checked/maintained) would expose the K to much more risk.
