Empowering Vets to package up and view their own claims information in a way that more closely aligns to what claims adjudicators are going to be looking for, without bogging them down in laws/regs and making it as burdensome as it is when the VA explains it. Maybe some gamification of the process, in manageable and unintimidating steps.

The biggest thing to understand is that Veteran's do not currently have a way to even view their static "file" that is being reviewed. The VA and advocates with proper clearance can view both top-level and detailed information much more than the claimant themselves can. They basically get to logon to vets.gov to be told they are #10253 in line and it is currently at the "Processing Evidence" level and that's it.

Doesn't really make sense to have the claimant have to work so hard to know how to shape their own claim that they initiated. The easier the claimant can do the legwork, the less the government has to do to explain and pickup extra work (the government has certain obligations to fully assist).
So instead of having the choice between a neutral platform and an all-in-one solution, we get two all-in-one solutions cloning each other.

There's a name for this kind of market failure, but I can't remember it.
The Green Party is certainly marginalized here, but a lot less so than in the US. The party leader actually has a seat in Parliment and is regularly quoted on public radio. They also form a small part of the a coalition government in BC and almost did in PEI.

The Green Party here suffers from our poor electoral system (FPTP), but they definitly have supporters, even if their supporters don't vote for them for strategic reasons.

There's a product called Coolshirt that does this. Ice water from a small cooler is circulated through tubes in a vest that you wear.

I heard about them in a motorsport context (race cars typically don't have AC since it adds weight and the compressor uses a significant amount of engine power) but apparently they're marketed to firefighters and industrial workers too:

Indeed. Even 1/8 crop images of that photo look great.

As for some of the negative comments, pixel peepers are a bane to the camera industry. Fact is, there's always a limit to the amount of detail that can go through the lens itself. Our eyes only see so much. This is why MF doesn't matter for most people. Even FF is too much for the average person. Our eyes can't resolve more than 4k at most distances, so that allows a lot of cropping even at 16mp. MF is for blown up studio or landscape images. Zooming in on a 100mp image taken at a long distance in the first place searching for flaws is entirely missing the point.

Tldr: this camera and the image are fantastic, pixel peeping is silly.

That comment is certainly related, but unless I'm misunderstanding the relevance to our conversation that you're seeing, it's an aspect other than the one I'm interested in, which is:

a) the mechanism used by CptFribble to produce specific details where none existed before (although I think we've settled this, and are not in disagreement?)

b) how you and I came to different conclusions on whether CptFribble's comment was (or was not) judgemental of slang800 (attributing a personal support of eugenics) - this I don't think is settled?
I forgot about that one. It's interesting how people will hold on to their method of doing things, even if the workaround is harder than doing the direct thing: (one of the comments)

I suppose because it wasn't highly quantitative or firmly within the range of known physics, back then. But since "engineering" originally referred to the building, operation and repair of siege engines, in ancient Rome; I'm with you. It was just plain engineering.
The more I think about about it the less I like this new feature. They should have implemented BigInt as a class instead and rely on a transcoder to make algorithms easier to write.
But when a person has the option of watching a pirate copy vs. a paid copy, then there is a loss. To extrapolate— if everyone only used pirate copies, who would finance movie production or music production or book publishing?
I can recall many cases where the US prosecuted the leakers, but very few where they prosecuted the journalists who published the leaks, save for some contempt charges when journalists refused to reveal their sources.
you're pretty much right on. There's not a whole lot of difference. Where it gets hard is holding it together past Mach 1 and building it in the first place. Misaligning a fin on an estes rocket is no big deal, misaligning a fin on this one would mean near-instant destruction. Also, materials, cardboard isn't going to cut it. At this scale the best option is hand rolled carbon fibre which is an art in its own right.

Here's a link to what seems to be the party's response. From my reading, possibly tainted by translation, he agreed to step down if the European Parliament's Consultative Committee on Harassment at Work found that he had engaged in harassment, they did, and he resigned, but they were unable to remove him from the list due to regulations.

While I can't seem to find an account of what exactly transpired, it does appear that the European Parliament's Consultative Committee on Harassment at Work concluded that something did indeed transpire that falls under sexual harassment.

Hey, I remember your comments from the day of the fire. Your photos from the top of the spire are amazing. My father went to the rooftop probably at the same time as you, so he had the same conclusion; the structure is quickly being shored up and the teams know what they're doing.

I don't understand what report the article is reacting to, because Vannucci's study is three years old and I haven't heard anything concerning on that topic lately.

Oh and if you don't mind me asking, were you invited to the rooftop because you were involved in the spire study before? Or did you take part in the operations?

I have been banging on about this sort of thing for ages

http://oss4gov.org/manifesto

I have come to the conclusion that commercial offerings in the government space are just fucking over the taxpayer and should be replaced by open source services maintained in specific ways

- OSS for gov should be seen as a pro bono "year out" for professionals on their journeyman year

- OSS needs to be funded at government level for development and for ops separately. Something like a kickstarter / auction for features and for support

- this oss suite gets to become well known and cross supported - because so many small companies work on it they can become a matrix like support network - no worries that there is not a single huge supplier "supporting" their crap source, here comes a "Guardians of the Galaxy" web of small ships all able to pick up the load from another because they all know this big code base

- This is partly "let's bring our government into the digital age, but more importantly its "let's bring all governments" - including those not so democratic. Look at how the GDPR just made itself the default. Now think of every small interaction with government being designed with individual agency in mind. this is potentially the biggest act of cultural "laying down of rails" since the Napoleonic code. Shall Western democracy do it?

- remember "developer hegemony" - this is where such firms would do well

Any way - bed time so not well put but it all popped into my head so wanted to share
With many people, the opposite is the case. Work interferes with the relationship. Suppose work is 8 hours per day, but there is also 8 hours of housework. If you split evenly, which isn't normal, that gives 12 hours per person with you both working outside the home. That goes down to just 8 if only one person works. You then have more time for the relationship.

You might need to make a cultural shift. You'd need to show appreciation for housework. If you're in the habit of looking down on people who do that, or if she herself is, then things won't go well.
yes, i think what is novel is that they made it flexible and maybe that improves the efficiency
sometimes i find even having a ceiling fan on low speed, slightly dries out my eyes overnight/when I wake up in the morning. It may be all in my head, but I seem to remember reading something that your eyes either flicker or don’t always close all the way shut while sleeping. so no fan for me at night ( I just generally keep other AC vents closed a tad so that more pressure comes into my bedroom AC vent and i have thermostat thermostat schedule to be a few degrees lower at night while I sleep, then a few degrees higher around an hour or so before I need to wake up, the heat/warmer temp helps wake me up kind of like an alarm clock )
Does he have relevant experience managing restorations of old cathedrals? Do you know someone more qualified for the job?

Anecdotally, the comfort of tailored/fitted apparel can vary based on your body composition.

This is as someone who used to weigh around 255 and now weighs around 170.

The more fit you are, the more comfy fitted/tailored apparel tends to be.

If you are atypically shaped due to various fat deposits, tailored clothing becomes more difficult to get just right in order to not pinch/restrict you in all the wrong places.
And condos?

But I don't think this actually changes anything. Clearly, homes and condos are considered private property. Whether or not the government has certain rights to that property (eminent domain, search with a warrant), most people consider it their property. So house and condo taxes are going to be perceived by people as taxes on their property. I also claim that we are not currently in a "totalitarian nightmare." So maybe people are okay if the government decides on a case-by-case basis what kind of property can be taxed.

Also: some states have car taxes. And boat taxes.
yes.

What's the point?
Came to post this exact thing. It's very cool watching the process.
That is shameful incompetence. Disgraceful.

In a followup this person makes some excuse about how many emails they get because they're a big company. Why even have the email address then, if you're just going to disregard everything right off the bat? The initial email was rather specific with regard to the issue, but even if it wasn't, send them the fucking PGP key and see what they send! If it's nothing worthwhile, oh well, no big deal.
It’s hard to find official details (I guess they keep them private to protect the victims?) but this looks like reasonably trustworthy source: http://mab.nu/2018/11/16/a-friend-called-niles/

But even without details looking at Julia Redas track record and the fact that the German pirate party and European pirate party distanced themselves from him suggests more than a minor error in judgement. It’s unbelievable that he could successfully trick his party so he could get on the candidates list as number 2. And he will be there on election day! This is no FUD but something they have to blame on themselves.

Yes, stealing applies primarily to physical property or physical items of value. And the word hacker now has a second meaning with a negative connotation. Words outgrow their original meaning as the language evolves. I'm not advocating for the word 'steal' to be a legal definition of anything. I'm simply using it on an internet forum in a casual context.

I personally do not believe that depth generated purely from deep learning can be used as input to photogrammetry anytime soon.

Photogrammetry works exceedingly well because the depth maps that they generate are quite precise and accurate, and mesh reconstruction usually assumes that these points are quite close to ground truth.

Deep learning approaches usually have medium accuracy but low precision, which causes the flickering and smooth surfaces that you see on the person. Even the background has flickering despite being computed through stereo, likely because the camera motion is primarily forward-backward (vs. more accurate side-to-side motion), the baseline is likely small, and the depth isn't globally optimized.

This type of research is super great for applications requiring lower accuracy, typically visual-only applications (e.g. selective blurring, faking stereo on a frame, etc.). But as an input to photogrammetry — probably not anytime soon, until the problems above get resolved.

On the third end of the spectrum, there's the crowdfunding model. Alternatively, we could only have "free non-commercial use" - so that if you make money from the movie (e.g. a movie theatre) you'd need to pay royalties... so people could either pay to see it in the cinema, or download free and watch at home... i.e. same as the de facto status quo. (Personally, I don't understand why people go to the cinema - I prefer to watch movies at home even if cinema was free - but some people still seem to like going...)

> it's too hard to write anything in assembler.

And yet, everything you run is written in it. (By a compiler or a JIT, sure.) The goto is a useful abstraction for its layer. It doesn't have to be your favorite layer, but it's there, and ubiquitous.

I feel like discussions around memory safety are similar. I can't get a lot of people around here to admit that in order to be blessed with memory safety at one layer it needs to not exist somewhere else, and that's OK.
That reports to advertisers, of course!

Prior to sponsors, you developed that project for the fun of it. It was useful to some, so you gave this sponsorship thing a try. It was a success, maybe not a great success, but still. Now that you have sponsors, you feel somewhat obligated, but still not on the level of that "professional software industry" that destroyed so much about programming for you.

Time passes, and at some point it becomes clear that sponsors don't have infinite resources, and at some point some of them take their money and leave. It lingers in the back of your head, but you continue development. You notice however, that your motivation lessens, especially for that particular project people care about. You decide that you want to move on.

Many of the remaining sponsors don't take it well and back away. Now you feel that there's no point to even work on something else. Your soft income is nil. You remember the days you worked that software job. Back then, you managed to write a bit of code, push to a GitHub public repository, and be content that programming was not just a profession to you. Now, you don't even have that.

You look around. There are sponsored celebrities, political cases where sponsors withdrew en-masse because of some controversy, and the usual monetary disputes. Having GitHub sponsors has become yet another status signal for potential employers or clients, and it's another a standard goodie to have them, by contract, transfer a small sum that way every month. Sickened, you turn back to your own issues.

You decide not to let Microsoft poke bytes in your Incentive Unit that way. An optimist, you assure yourself that in a few months you'll repair yourself and be able to write some code again, this time Free Software, since you well know what Open Source means, what it always meant. The GitHub demon is no longer an option. No big deal, since it's also become more like a "social network for developers" with status lines and people using their legal names and professionalism all over it. GitLab still requires JavaScript to view source code, so that's DOA, what with you having your default browser running with JavaScript disabled (the Internet went to shit a long time ago).

So you consider setting up some private GitHub-like that's actually accessible on your own server, or maybe use that FSF hosting site. You learned your lesson, but the software world took yet another step towards the void.

Lessons in Building a System That Processes More Than 70B Events Daily
Eh. I'm talking about things we intend to keep in their current structure. Getting all negative about trash is kinda boring, really.

Given a reasonable extension of existing technology, we could eliminate that trash eventually. Imagine, say, machines designed to find plastic trash in the ocean, powered by ocean currents/thermals, that decompose the trash into basic releasable organics like CO2 and water. Just takes the will to do it. And hopefully someday, that will will exist.

And cleaning up the wreckage of the Industrial Revolution for the sake of future generations would be a legacy we could be proud of.
I have been working a project to create a place where youth can exhibit their writing talents outside of the standard educational system. Exceptional students exist in all schools, but in districts like Oakland, their work never gets visibility. We Write Here (http://wewritehere.com) aims to fix that.

Student created content has way more relevance than what the government can mandate. Eventually, we will expand beyond writing. I was a K-12 teacher for the past 10 years, and know this to be a critical need. I have been building this for the past 6 months, and we have gotten 200+ submission, and published and awarded 25+ amazing students.

Does this fit under Government 2.0? Even otherwise, would love to hear what the community feels about it.
