I wish there was an easier way to just buy content, in a way that I knew was going to support the creators and not line the pockets of the distribution network. I used to wait for stuff to come out on DVD and pick it up then, but I don't know how much the original studio gets for that, or whether the original studio even exists by that point.

I certainly don't like the subscription model, but that's a personal choice. I just don't watch a lot of episodic television content; at some point I grew tired of the drawn out plotlines and endless filler, and during the TV era, I became especially dissatisfied with the constant advertising. Even with ad-free streaming models, I find that I'm just not interested. So when that one show comes out that I do very much enjoy, it's hard to justify signing up for a streaming service; it feels like I'm paying for access to a lot of other crap that I'll never consume.
You would be surprised as it does happen. The far more common is the reviews where what happened and what is claimed to have happen in the review have a such a tenuous connection that it would be more acccurate to call them a total work of fiction.
Good thing I rarely use phones any more. Maybe I should start making portable vocoders to help maintain privacy against ill-conceived projects like this one.
Thanks!
It is not a trick, it's what's called a Sensor fusion algorithm. They come in many flavors, we currently implement Madgwick's one. Another popular and somehow more robust alternatives are Kalman filters, we'll probably also implement one of those in the future.

They all rely on absolute references (gravity and magnetic field) to build a non-drifting reference frame which is used to correct the integration of (angular) accelerations.

Demand only drops if it becomes more expensive than it is already. If the difference is that solar during the day becomes super cheap then you don't get a reduction in demand during the night, you get more demand during the day.

That doesn't reduce the amount of nighttime generation capacity you need at all, unless people can shift demand from nighttime to daytime, which they largely can't. Most of the things that run at night either have to run 24 hours or have to run at night because you need light when it's dark and heat when it's cold.

Do you anticipate the network effect dynamics of a motion capture library to look more like an operating system (Debian model) or a specialty library (Github)? I would expect it to look a lot more like the Github data, so the fact that Linux is for historical reasons tightly coupled to GPL licensing, while interesting, is probably not a good model for predicting future contributions to a newly GPL'ed motion capture library like this one.

Building more housing will not work. Unless you force builders and owners do you sell less than what the market is willing to pay, building more will only lead to more expensive housing. At some point there will be saturation, and the market will have to start reducing its prices, but that is a very far off Hope
That idea has been floated since as long as self-driving cars became a realistic prospect.

I'm not sure I follow the argument about symbolic links. What do they have to do with the root UNIX thinking that it owns the whole filesystem? I don't often see symlinks used in the context of crossing "imported" (mounted?) parts of the filesystem - instead, I use them most often to provide aliases so that the same file/directory can be accessed with multiple names.
"Wild hysteria", what do you mean? Experts seem to be far from a hysterical, and go for a more technical language, benchmarks and all. And the mass that usually goes hysterical actually doesn't even know their CPUs are going to take a 20% performance hit next OS update, and probably won't even realize that.
So you think people that want to buy a house just need to take on more riskier investments before buying a house? Get lucky, buy a house, get unlucky, ...?
Ironically volatile is just as bad in Java for different reasons. Frequently used for "lock free" synchronization, its usually actually worse than using locks because it can't be cached between cores. The variable is always loaded from main memory, which is usually much worse than holding a lock mutex in registers.
Here's your SJW cookie point: *

You live in comfort because countless men like him did hard things and made hard decisions like that.

For one point, have you ever heard of plague?

For another point, do you know how many mice on avg are killed by the harvesting machines per hectare? Your pompous probably-vegan ass is responsible for countless thousands of those through the food you ate.
Absolutely terrifying.

If you add this to the model that guesses identity based on the sound produced by inputs (keyboard , mouse...) you basically end up with an "ambiant sound fingerprinting" tech , where the sounds emitted nearby a device can be used to accurately determine the individual that's standing close to it...

Set up a new iPad:
+ auto updating apps and OS
+ they don’t have the password to install anything new
+ install the apps they need for them
+ auto backups to iCloud

Then drill it into them that they should “never click any link in an email for any reason whatsoever. If the bank, for example, sends you a message with a link then ignore the link, leave the email app and log in to the bank the normal way to check the account.”
Bit like claiming the false rape accusation rate is only 2% and the women generally don't lie about rape.

A nice little bit of fiction the extremist left like the NYT much prefer over the truth.

Or the general false narratives of feminism that the left has been pumping for decades...false narratives and propaganda are the heart of left wing politics, only the right tells the truth.

That's why the left wants to shut conservatives down...they are offended by the truth.

I don’t think iPad 3 is even “old”. I have an original iPad 1, and the situation is even worse: I’m frozen in time on iOS 5, and the device has been losing app availability for years. Without jail breaking, it can basically only do what was installed with it from the factory. The hardware itself outlasts most companies’ software support by 2-4X. I see a bleak future of millions of perfectly usable devices that are only unusable because developers decided to stop keeping their software compatible.

Contrast that with the world of PCs where I can still run recent versions of Linux on devices 10-20 years old.
I've been thinking about this problem for a while as well.

The somewhat oversimplified approach is to use iOS/Android devices with you in charge of installing any new apps and also inbuilt adblockers. However this still doesn't prevent email phishing.

The more restrictive option would be to use a router level / AdBlocker whitelist for websites they can access.

Ex: Facebook, Google, YouTube, Utilities, Banks etc. This way any phishing domain will get blocked. Obviously highly restrictive but probably the safest bet. You can always add new sites as they need them.
Ask HN: What are some of the dark sides of working at a successful startup?
To be fair, they carry diseases but had helped to cure lots of other human diseases. Their impact on human health is huge and probably the final result is positive. They also eliminate some rotten things stuck in pipelines, cockroaches and garbage. If we point its dark side we should notice also the other part.

Rats also chase mice actively, that is an unexpected problem in management disclosed by ecologists. You can't manage just rats. Is the wrong way to do it.

Just keep building housing until people don't want it anymore. The affordability will arrive when people who don't want to live next to a high-rise decide to move out.
Because the numbers are kind of crap lately. People don't realize just how the average episode of Friends beat 20 million for every one of 10 seasons [1]. The audience is fragmented like never before.

A small correction though, All in the Family was on average over 20 million households, and before every house had seven tvs that was significantly more viewers.

The point is that in this case Rummel doesn't even attempt to be objective. You can be biased, everyone is. A real historian, someone who is respected by his peers, actively tries to remove his bias from his work. It isn't really profitable (you earn much more by writing extremely biased pop-history) but some individuals, such as me, value it.
The article argues that more housing would increase the value of the housing already there and thus the prices would not decrease.

First, it's odd that the people who would ostensibly benefit, the NIMBY crowd, typically oppose new housing. Second, if this analysis were accurate, building more housing still seems like a good idea. It won't lower the cost of housing but would increase the value and let more people get housing.

Finally, the author also mentions that most new homes are put to their intended purpose - housing local residents. Perhaps that's true of "most" homes, but I've seen statistics that a hundred thousand Toronto homes are unoccupied [1].
Toronto homes are typically bought by Air BnB types and speculators, foreign and domestic.

In my view building houses is a good answer. Building new houses should be accompanied with taxes on unoccupied homes. If the cost doesn't go down but the value goes up, as the author suggests, that will be unintended but not bad.

> more housing = more people

It's not always right. If we build more housing in Siberia we won't have more people there. A lot of people just hate LA or NY or SF with some reason.
You really should just use volatile for device drivers when accessing IO space with side-effects. Do not use volatile to build your own synchronization primitives.
Right, totally spaced on that you'd of course get a gravity vector from the sensors too.

Machine learning is one of the most important technologies of the next coming decades and I don't want PHP developers to get left behind

At first I wanted to learn ML and so I started writing the algorithms one by one and putting them up on Github, it started to become very useful to me, and so I decided to share it

Thanks for the question
Households over 20 million also equals viewers over 20 million.

I especially love how the video waits for you to start scrolling. I've noticed that as a vulnerability in autoplaying media, since the scroll counts as a user action and the browser will allow the site to "play" the media at that point. Some sites use it to "auto"-play videos with sound, working around the user's preferences. Don't any of these sites realize how hostile this behavior is?
If someone took a leaked dataset, like for example the Dixons Carphone leak with 1.2 million records with personal info, then generated 1.2 million letters using the template from this repo, that would make for an interesting DoS attack.

With that in mind, a big blast is also easy to filter out.

Perhaps, instead of sending them all at once, you sent a random number from 1 to 100 per day, every day, indefinitely. No way to filter out the bogus requests, forced work for the company, and unknown consequences of having these people emailed about their private information usage. Chaotic good or chaotic evil? I have my opinion.

For internal, as long as the sender was in the right, I'd be suitably ashamed. I try to keep inbox zero (after dozens of filters), so it means I've really messed up to get those mails (or had bad filters).

But yeah - if they're being out of line to begin with (and are ignoring my previous mails implying they should use appropriate channels) or external folks that are asking for special dispensations, yeah, that will get you less helpful responses, not more.
On your last point, you might be interested in reading Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It.

Absolutely fascinating/terrifying (why do those always come in pairs with AI research?) but I think it's also interesting to use this to make some assumptions about how human brains work. When I hear a voice, I kinda have an idea what the person would look like. I can't really explain it, but there's definitely some assumptions I can make about age, weight – gender is easy but even within that, a deeper voice easily makes me think of more stereotypically male facial features. The model is also slightly racist (as we all are) so if I hear an Asian language, well, I might picture an Asian person.

So, basically, a lot of this stuff is actually likely happening right now in our brain. A lot of crazy complicated stuff, happening entirely subconsciously and never having been tested before because doing so empirically is somewhere between incredibly tedious and impossible.
It is almost as bad as the logic that since I think Greta is doing a __good_thing__, I must therefore wholeheartedly agree with every point she ever makes.
There is also the option of Amazon buying Netflix or better yet Apple. So far I find Netflix content of higher quality than Disney. There is also a growing segment of the population that watches only YouTube. I find that is the main competition for Netflix.

This should say 2010. I believe much of it is out of date, as C11 does have a memory model, and does provide both atomics and barriers. Many, if not most, uses of volatile should probably be replaced by atomics.

The conversation was about the (nominally technical as well as more mainstream) press, not the experts. My remark regarding "wild hysteria" was made in that context. Experts and competent users will do the same thing they always do - evaluate any and all mitigations in the context of the threat models relevant to their usecases and act accordingly. Whether depriving the mass of less technically inclined users of the performance they are used to with all the implications that entails (including for energy efficiency and other externalities) is a wise decision only time will tell.
Haha yeah that's a common reaction from people that haven't seen it with their own eyes yet

I don't blame you

Let me know if you have any questions
Hypergrowth often creates cultural dysfunction. Teams quickly outgrow the processes and communication structures that worked for them at a smaller size. Leaders find themselves leading teams much larger than they have they skill and experience to do a good job with. And in order to hire so quickly, it’s not unusual for hiring standards to drop, especially around interpersonal skills and values fit.
Under your plan you'd build a 25MW nuclear power plant which covers the night, and along with 25MW of solar covers the 50MW daytime demand, correct?

the problem is solar is cheaper, so its profitable for someone to build 50MW of solar. so Nuclear covers night, now at twice the price. But wind is cheaper, so build 25MW of wind, maybe 50% of the time the wind doesn't blow, so nuclear only covers that, so it's now twice as expensive again. Now batteries are cheaper, so what's the role for that nuclear plant now? Would you invest in nuclear in that potential situation?

"Because you are building them too. We can do two things at the same time"

If it takes you 5 years to build the 25MW of solar, but the nuclear takes 15 years, theres a 10 year gap between solar build out finishing and nuclear being ready to take over from that coal plant. What do you do? 10 years of burning coal? or continue building solar so your covering as much demand as you can? But then why retire all that solar when the nuclear plant comes online?
People are moving to San Francisco to take high-paying jobs and there is not enough luxury housing to accommodate them, so they are out-competing poorer people for whatever housing they can get. If more luxury housing was built, those people would take it and leave the rest of the housing for other people.

> Disney’s ownership of iconic franchises like Star Wars gives it something no money can buy.

Lol, considering Disney themselves not only bought the iconic franchise star wars, but they also bought marvel and even Pixar. If Disney is good at anything, it's identifying under-capitalized brands, buying them and then milking them for all they worth.
This is so true. My father is getting closed to getting conned now.

I tell him that no matter who contacts him and how (could be the government, IRS, bank, and could be phone, or email or a door knock) he should politely end the contact immediately.

Don't listen to what they have to say, don't give them a single shred of information - not even his name or address or anything.

If he is really convinced it's something legit, HE should initiate contact with whoever they said they were - find THEIR phone number or website and contact them and ask.

That way at least he can be sure he knows who is on the other end.

Finnish person here. It is difficult to understand why any normal person would need sedation for colonoscopy. Perhaps there are super sensitive persons, but for most it should not be much more painful than getting vaccination, at least if the doctor is skilled and doesn't just force the colonoscope in. However, drinking large amounts of liquid that does not taste that great, in order to empty the colon, was the hard part. Colonoscopy was nothing compared to drinking that liquid.

No, unintended consequences happen in every change one implements. Show me a law of any consequence, and I'll show you some unintended consequences it brought on.

I think you are confusing unintended with unforeseen, which is a different matter. But I don't think these were unforeseen; some are problems with the implementation, which will be corrected by the companies responsible, and others are just inevitable (if you give people access to something, by definition it makes it easier for a third-party to abuse that access).
The standard pattern for working with atomics in java (volatiles are of limited use without atomic field updaters or varhandles) is to read it into a local variable, operate on that and only write it back to the volatile once you're done.

That has many benefits, among them the ability to store its value in registers.

Meta-observation: to me, nothing in economics or finance is "blindingly obvious". Many economic phenomena seem obvious but in reality are way more complex than could be represented by any model that I could understand. Your explanation makes sense at some level, but I don't have much confidence in it, because all I can do is wonder what other mechanisms interact with the mechanism you've described, and what the net impact is.
